Top rated Northport doggy day care sitters
“Angela is awesome. Our pup had a great time playing in her huge, fenced in yard. She took several pictures during our pups stay and they were much appreciated. She was flexible on timing and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Strongly recommend working with Angela if your camping or stay in in the Empire area.”
“Kendra was very responsive and communicative from the outset. We needed daycare during our camping trip for some non dog friendly activities, and were somewhat back and forth on the timings. She accommodated our changes despite having some last minute complications. She showed us where the dogs would be and did a meet and greet outside. We really appreciate her services!”
“Jared was excellent with my golden retriever. He was very responsive. I received a picture and video throughout the day as well as any updates I asked for. My dog had excellent play time (as I can see all of his steps on his collar) and was exhausted from a fun filled day!”
“We had a day trip planned and couldn't bring our dog so we found Emily on Rover. She had a lot of 5 star reviews and now I know why! She was AMAZING and treated our fur child like her own. She was extremely responsive to messages, provided pictures during the stay and was just genuinely a wonderful person. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!”
“I would highly recommend Taylor. Our German Shepard dog and black lab thoroughly enjoyed spending a few days with Taylor and her family. They had so much fun and were well exercised in the evenings when we picked them up from her home.”
“My dog had an amazing stay with Deb! She enjoyed the walks, play time, and the nice back yard fenced in area. I will definitely be taking her back to Deb next time I need doggy day care!!”
“Mairi, was great. The pups, energetic Germain Shorthairs, were tired when I picked them up which is always a feat. Mairi was also quite flexible when I was super late in picking the dogs up one day.”
“Dorothy is great with my 1 yr. old puppy. She is patient but consistent with dealing with his puppy energy and lack of focus. I can tell he enjoys being with her. Thank you, Dorothy!”
About: I love dogs and cats and have years of pet care experience. Your dog enjoys the supervised run of my pet-safe home which includes a big back yard. Dogs are allowed on the couch and in the bed. We take twice daily long walks and daily leashed lake swims if desired. All dogs must be potty trained, and cats litter trained but I am happy to administer medication and follow special diets. I work from home as a graphic designer and I have an MFA in Drawing and an active fine art drawing and printmaking practice. Pets are attended to at all times as I work in the same room where they play. I take plenty of play and walk breaks. Art materials used are non toxic and kept locked away from pets. I often stretch pets and if I sketch yours you may keep it! I have a fenced yard and my home is pet proofed. I have a friendly dog and cat. Pets are attended to an all time and never left alone. Cats get their own room and dogs may sleep in their kennel or on the bed.
“Kacey is new to this daycare setting, sally made him feel welcome and did a meet and greet with the dogs he would be spending time with. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. He came home happy and tired.”

About: I've had my dog business for 5+ years and I devote my time to special dogs during the day or on weekends. I cared for my two dogs until they passed away. Now I have time to devote to other dogs who need my support. I have time in my life to care for your lovely dogs, walking them during the week and watching them for overnights on the weekends As my yard is not fenced in, I prefer to go to clients home to help out. I have a reliable vehicle and could come and visit

“What a kind and loving lady! Thank you my new Traverse City friend! You made Gladys feel very welcome! Your dogs were sweet and seemed to warm up to Gladys quickly. You are appreciated- hopefully next time I'm in TC, I can reach out to you! Gladys will be more trained by then!”

About: Ever wondered what it would be like to have your own personal national park? Now your furry friends can enjoy the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and their own private park like setting with over 80 acres of leashed exploration and even a few fenced in acres for off leash play. I am a retired professional with a desire to cater to animals who are accustomed to getting individual attention year round and expect their custom treatment, cuddles, and meals to be routinely available even when the rest of their service humans are not. I have a have a senior golden retriever who is slowing down at 12.5 and we are simply more active than he currently requires. I enjoy getting to spend all day with animals and am opening up our special place to our furry local friends. Rest assured that I will care for your animal family beyond how anyone would care for a human family member. I also understand that the pet's safety and security are paramount to the quality of the experience for both the pet and their family. Also, belly rubs on demand.
About: I’m a life-long dog lover who is always happy to meet new pups. We currently have a beautiful 7 year old Aussie, 9 year old poodle, and a Eurasier puppy.

I have a very flexible schedule and am able to work from home, so should generally be able to make arrangements as needed to accommodate your pup. My home has three happy dogs in it and is pet-friendly, although it is easy to separate out my dogs if yours prefers some alone time. I would be happy to make any additional accommodations if helpful.

Amanda Y.
“Amanda offers something unique in pet care, a home environment. Instead of a sterile, clinic atmosphere, she has created a warm, inviting place for your pet. I hate to leave my cat but when I drop her off at Amanda‘s, I feel my cat is on an adventure instead isolated in a cage. Amanda feels genuine empathy for my cat. She sends me pictures and does so at a price much less than I have to pay at other cat care facilities. She will take care of other animals also such as birds and guinea pigs. I highly recommend her service.”

“I can't say enough great things about Lorretta and the care she provides for my dog. Like many pet owners, my dog means the world to me, and it takes a lot for me to trust someone with them. Lorretta cares for my dog as if he were her own. She is extremely professional, responsible, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made my life much easier. It has been very simple to schedule with her, and she provides very personalized care- easy to reach and gives updates after her visits. It has been a pleasure having Lorretta care for our dog, I highly recommend Lorretta to anyone looking for a dog walking service.”
