Pet care experience
No matter your needs -- dog walking or boarding -- we have you covered with reliable care. We're even pet service insured. Very affordable dog walking rate for residents in downtown Dexter and Westridge. We also have a unique dog walking service where we pick up your dog(s) M-F mid-day and take them to our private, fenced-in dog park. We closely monitor the "dog party" and bring your dog home after an hour's worth of play. Your dog is returned happy, relaxed and eager to go on another adventure. This service is for Dexter and Ann Arbor residents, and your dog must pass a personality check at a public dog park. Our dog palace includes a kennel with a limestone dog "litter box." Dogs access the kennel via a giant-breed dog door connected to our dog-friendly basement with dog-only leather couches. Upstairs we have hardwood floors, cool slate (which large breeds love), dog toys, and washable paint. Yep, we love dogs! Our family provides 'round-the-clock care. We have two children (ages 11 and 14) who are very respectful of all animals and are trained to approach new dogs with caution until the dogs are comfortable with them. We also have a Newfoundland puppy (Mable) and two rats in a cage. The rats are very tolerant of barking and sniffing noses. They will reside in locked room when your dog is in residence.
Reviews
Heather, Patrick and their family were exceptional! Meeting them with Moki for the first time - it was quick to see they were great people, would take Moki in like family, and were truly knowledgeable with experience to take great care for our pup during a week long stay. So appreciative the meet & greet, tour of their home - the perfect layout for any dogs stay, and mostly their communication and pictures during Moki's stay! Highly suggest!!
Heather and her family watched our very active 85 lb lab while we spent a week in South Carolina over Thanksgiving. Sam got plenty of exercise, love, and affection while we were away. He was very well cared for. Sam gets excited every time he sees Heather and her family. You can’t get a better doggy testimonial than that. ;) I would recommend Heather to take care of your dog too.
