Doggy Day Care in Milan

“Erin was very communicative and so sweet to Bear. Bear had a ton of fun with all the dogs there and came back super happy and joyful. Thank you for taking care of Bear!”

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.

“Margaret is so wonderful with my dogs. She kept me in the loop with updates and pictures. She does an amazing job caring for my two doodles! Highly recommend”

Lydia K.

“Katie was so flexible and easy with my hectic schedule. And I knew Penny would be in good hands.”

Taryn C.

“We dropped our new pup off to Kayden while we had dinner with friends. Chief had so much fun (he slept for the 2-1/2 hour ride home)! Kayden has a high level of expertise when it comes to pups. You can tell by the progressive report. Will for sure schedule another drop in with Kayden when in the area!”

Jaime W.

“With my first puppy I quickly became worried i'd never be able to take a vacation. George eased my own separation anxiety and I was comfortable taking my first day trip away from my 8 month old puppy knowing she was safe and cared for.”

John P.

“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.”

Cody G.

“Mohamed and Soukaina were great! They accommodated a last minute request and an early drop-off to make things easy for us. Our dog had a wonderful time playing with their dog and came home so happy! Will definitely be requesting them again!”

Kye C.

“Molly gave my doodle Skye TLC during a 7-hour doggy day care stint. She was flexible and great at communicating with me; Molly went above and beyond in ensuring both I and Skye were happy. My dog clearly felt very comfortable with Molly even though Molly was 9-mos-old Skye's first sitter. Highly recommended. I will be using Molly in the near future. Cathy S”

“We are grateful for Rachel’s last minute help to watch Oscar for several hours while we had some events at our home. She was very responsive, detailed, and conscientious. We will definitely be calling on Rachel again for support!”

Elizabeth W.

“Jane is fantastic! She responds to my request quickly and is easily communicated. She is taking a good care of my puppy, play with him, walk him and send me pictures/video that greatly soothe my nerves (as this is my first time to trust someone to take care of my high-energy puppy).”

J D.

“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.”

Megan M.

“So appreciative of this lady.! Sweet and kind . Loved having my dog engaged with her son and furry friend.”

Denise B.

“Jennifer was excellent with our foster girl. Our girl had some special requests/needs and Jennifer accommodated those! I got a lot of updates throughout the day which I really appreciated. I highly recommend jennifer for dog sitting and will definitely request her in the future!”

Hayley G.

“Katie was very accommodating and took our three dogs in for the night in a very short notice. She took care of the dogs very well and kept us informed on how they were doing. Will use her again if we are back in town.”

Jyotish B.

“Maria was so great. Got many updates. Even a nice quick one after i left because Molly was a little timid to have me leave, she can be shy at first. I was sad to leave her on her first doggie daycare. But Marie made everything great, she shared multiple pictures that she warmed up and went on walkies and she seemed to have a great time. I hope to make this a weekly occasion! It was nice to be stress free at work.”

Keara K.

“Marie and Mike were great with GoGo. She was worn out last night which is not easy to do with her. They made it easy for us to relax and not worry about her for an intense family day. Would recommend their services to everyone if we lived here. Left with a dog toy and a thank you note, so thoughtful.”

Marta A.

“Daniel is awesome! I highly recommend him. He is such a loving and caring caregiver. My puppy stayed with him for two days and one night and she was super spoiled”

Karina D.

“Lori has been fantastic for our family when we need help for our 50lb Aussie. She is always excited when we arrive & tired when we get her back (GREAT SIGNS). Lori has great yard space, is incredibly flexible & communicative, and has puppy friends for our own pup to play with. Could not recommend anyone more, Lori is GREAT.”

Kiefer H.

“Krysti is amazing! I was able to meet several of her children, and they were wonderful, so I know my pup had a lot of fun during his stay. She has a huge fenced-in yard perfect for dogs. Her house is in a new development house community that's very cute (I drove around and lots of people walking around and with their dogs, kids riding bikes-- safe and wholesome!), and Krysti gave my dog a couple of walks, which I'm so appreciative of because I'm disabled and my dog loves to walk! She gave me a full report when I picked him up and I will absolutely book with Krysti and her family again!!”
