Doggy Day Care in Manchester

About: I will love and care for your furry friends as I do my own. I've owned dogs my whole life and my family would say it's a passion I've never fulfilled (but will be thanks to rover!) I've owned all size breeds so teacup or a small horse, I've got you covered! I am a Navy Veteran and current full-time student at the University of Michigan and my husband works from home 100% of the time. Your pups will never be left unsupervised. We have two other dogs in the home who love having guests and making new friends. Feedings can take place whenever you deem necessary for you! We have a ton of treats (SCHNACKS) ready to spoil and pamper your puppers as we do our own. I live on 7 acres of land in a private community, and have approximately 1 acre of fenced in yard directly off the back of the house. Your friends will be able to take plenty of potty breaks and nice tranquil walks in the "countryside". They will be kenneled at night (around 11p.m.) in a dark, empty room in a padded kennel. (I know it sounds depressing but is actually super relaxing for doggos!). Doggie bath services are also negotiable.

“Rodney was great with my Corgi, very patient and understanding. He was also very flexible with timing, which I appreciate. It was a good opportunity for Kix to socialize with a large number of dogs.”

“Simi has watched Mabel several times now. Simi is very thorough and shares many updates/photos throughout the day which is appreciated. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter option. It’s an added bonus that Simi also has a friendly dog (Shadow) that Mabel can play with during the day. Very happy that I found Simi as a pet sitter option.”

“Arling and Mary took great care of my 8-month-old Pomeranian pup. He was comfortable and content with them and they took him on multiple walks and provided great care! Sent updates and took photos. Would use them again in the future and recommend.”

Kelly Z.

“Incredibly flexible, very nice, sends a lot of great photos and videos throughout the day. Couldn't ask for a better doggie sitter.”

Philipp S.

“Felt immediately comfortable with Shannon and Oscar and knew that our pup would be in good hands. Their dog got along great with ours, and we picked up a very happy pup at the end of the day. I would absolutely book again and want to give more than 5 stars.”

About: I have two dogs and two Guinea pigs. I also care for several animals during the school year in my classroom at Tecumseh Acres. Friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets as well! I have just completed my 17th year of teaching and am off for the summer! I was looking for a way to earn some extra money doing something I love and caring for pets is it! I have a fenced yard, crates, and lots of time for pets and walks! I also have kids who love animals as much as I do!

“Lauren has been watching my Daisy for a couple weeks now and she is awesome!! Daisy loves her and already knows when we turn down her street that she’s going to daycare. Highly recommend!!”

“Monica and Razvan were life savers! They took a last minute reservation when I was traveling in the area. They took in my pup with warm welcoming arms. They took great care of her, sent pictures and updates throughout the day. My pup seemed very happy! I highly recommend them!”

About: Ive been taking care of dogs my whole life. We actually had Beagle puppies born in our bathroom 13 years ago. I've raised 5 dogs all together. We have 1 left. He's our baby. I will love your dog like my own. I will take care of them like you do. I'm not working so I have plenty of time to walk, play and love on your pet! I am available most weekends and holidays as well. I have a fenced area in my yard, a doggie door and a very friendly senior dog. He's a little loud sometimes, since he's a Beagle but it's all love. Your fur baby will be super happy here. If you prefer I come to you that is perfectly fine too. I will make sure your pet is happy when I leave!

“Molly was great. We had a last minute request and she was very prompt to reply to our messages and was very accommodating and flexible with pick up time. We receive several updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which we love. Will definitely come back next time we are in town.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for over 20 years. I'm comfortable with animals of all ages and sizes. I have experience with administering medicine, post-surgery care and multiple animals in one setting. I work from home and my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time to spend with your sweet pups. There will be a lot of cuddles and playtime! We live on 6 acres and have a poodle, a sheepadoodle and two children. We play outside often. We always make sure that the animals safety is top priority.

“We were visiting the area from out of town for a weekend getaway. Our dogs prefer being with someone especially if it’s at an unfamiliar place. We found Jina on rover thankfully and were extremely happy and pleased with her exceptional service. She sent updates/pics and asked specific questions to make sure she was aware of all of their needs and our preferences. We really appreciate it and would highly recommend!! Thank you ☺️”

“William (and Cara!) did a fantastic job with my boy Otis. Otis was still recovering from a medical procedure and they kept me updated constantly, made sure he received attention and snacks, and made me feel at ease while I was still nervous about letting him out of my sight. Otis left very happy, and I will recommend them to anyone else who needs a doggy Daycare.”

“We are so grateful for Jeff and Erin! We had a family emergency and last minute they were able to take her for the day for us. She loves playing with the doggies :)”

“Phoebe had a great visit with Kaeden! It was her first daycare experience. Kaeden communicated well, answered all of my questions, and provides lots of photos. The backyard area is very secure. We will be back!”

About: Hi! My name is Autumn and I am a pet sitter, I have a flexible schedule and am able to take care of your pets needs! All I need is a 1 day advance notice! On the weekends I have full time availability! My job is only during the week. I am willing to travel up to 20 miles for taking care of pets. I have a fenced yard, I have plenty of space for your pet to feel safe and a calm house setting. Your pet will receive the love and care it deserves.

“Cleo enjoys being with other dogs, and Nick's dog, Jester, was a perfect match for her energy! His yard is perfect for my beagle, Cleo, who loves to sniff and play. She had a great time and came home tired. Nick is very professional, and I appreciate Cleo was given so much enrichment while I was at work. I'll definitely be leaving her with him often!”

Ashley P.

“Katie is just great. Immediately felt comfortable with her and you can tell she has tons of experience. She has a great set up, Rodney had an awesome time and loved hanging out in her deck. Will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi there! We accept small to medium-sized dogs (20 pounds max or less) and typically care for no more than 4 dogs at a time. Under our careful supervision, your pup can interact and play freely, enjoying both the house and our spacious, clean, secure and fenced-in backyard. They are not confined to kennels or cages, and can sleep wherever they feel comfortable, whether in the open or in their own crate. We have many nooks and crannies for the pups to relax in and many soft, clean blankets and pillows. They will have ample time outdoors for fresh air, exercise and fun (weather permitting), and the rest of course spent indoors, having fun, resting, playing games (we have many many puzzles and snuffle mats) and occasionally having a yummy, owner approved treat (we don't want upset tummies). They are regularly let out for potty breaks and fresh air every 1 to 2 hours, and never left unattended. WHAT WE WOULD LOVE TO KNOW: We understand each dog has their own personality, likes, dislikes, and temperament. ****A meet-n-greet is required prior to the start of any service.**** -Unless arranged by special request during the week, they are usually on Saturdays and Sundays and by appointment. -Please allow enough time prior to your reservation to arrange for the meet-n-greet. LAST MINUTE REQUESTS: We will do our best to accommodate those in tight spots, but generally we only reserve this option for established clients only. VACCINATIONS: Please ensure your pup is up-to-date with vaccinations before boarding to protect them and our little ones from illnesses. PHOTOS: We know how important peace of mind is, so we send consistent, informative photos/updates/videos of your little one so that you know what they are up to and so that you can rest assured that they are doing well! LOCATION: We are located right outside of Ann Arbor - perfect spot near highways and shops! MEDICATION: Yes, we do provide, however, we do not provide service to pets that are sick/ill/recovering/ or need medical attention during their stay. We do provide service to pets that are in good health but require maintenance medications, with vets' approval. FIRST AID/CPR: As of November 2024, we are actively working on finding a reputable organization to refresh our human and pet first aid and CPR certification! ABOUT OUR LITTLE ONES: Archie and Roxy are our two adorable, little terriers who love to have fun - they would be co-hosting with me. My husband works from home, so there is generally always someone home. Either my husband, who works from home, or I will be on hand to supervise the dogs at all times. Ensuring your dogs' safety is my highest priority. A LITTLE ABOUT US: My husband and I are super responsible, incredibly loving dog parents. I was raised with dogs, and other animals, as was my husband (who grew up on a farm here in Michigan). Combined, we have closer to 20 plus years of experience in taking care of our own furbabies, those of our neighbors, and various other kinds of pets. We've been there, worried and stressed out over having to find someone trustworthy who will treat and love our little ones with the same level of care and concern that we do! Being super loving, very protective, and knowledgeable pet parents ourselves, we know full well how stressful it can be to rely on someone else. We are great communicators and continuously strive to educate ourselves and learn about the best new dog products, services, treats, etc. Please rest assured that we will do our best to answer your questions and concerns. It's always a joy to connect with fellow pet parents who are just as devoted and loving to their family members as we are to ours! My schedule tends to be flexible. My husband works from home as well- it’s a joy to have little ones running around! There is always someone at home with a watchful eye - your pup will never be left alone. The importance of temperament cannot be overstated; if there are particular household rules to increase the comfort of your furbaby, I will follow them to the letter. I would like to know if he/she has any medical issues, special needs, etc. A veterinarian's contact information and instructions would be required if medication is needed - this of course also applies if they have special dietary needs, allergies, etc.
