Dog Boarding Pleasant Lake

About: Dogs have always been a part of our family, and caring for them is something we genuinely love. Over the past 15 years, we’ve shared our home with four dogs, including caring for three into their senior years through age-related and chronic health conditions. We’ve also raised a litter of puppies, giving us experience with young dogs and the extra patience, attention, and consistency they require. Because I work from home, your dog will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day instead of being left alone for long periods. We have a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and our three dog-loving children have been raised to be gentle and respectful with animals. While we’re not looking to add another dog to our family permanently, we’d love to open our home to yours. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving, family environment where every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, allowing me to be present with the dogs throughout the day. Potty breaks, outdoor play, walks (if requested), feeding, medication, and plenty of affection are all easily incorporated into my schedule. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, so they won’t just be supervised—they’ll be part of our family’s day. Whether your pup loves to play, relax, or simply be near people, they’ll receive plenty of attention, companionship, and love while they’re with us. I also make it a priority to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your dog is happy and well cared for during their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. Because I work from home, your pet will have supervision and companionship throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I take the time to learn each dog’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions, so they can maintain the routine they’re used to at home. Our home has a fully private fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and all dogs are monitored while outside. I believe every dog deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of affection, and I treat each guest as if they were one of my own. I also understand that every dog has a different personality, so I take introductions slowly and always prioritize a calm, low-stress environment. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and having a great time.

“Wow. This was our first experience with Rover and Rodney and we are so thankful to have found such a loving & FUN home for our dog when we are gone! Henry had a fantastic time playing with other dogs and being accepted for the puppy he is! To be honest, we were happy he wanted to come home with us! Lol! He was living his best life! Freedom outdoors in a fenced yard and so many dog friends to play with. He ate great which is a sign of happiness. I would give 10 ✨if I could. Rodney is a wonderful person! Thank you!”

“Fantastic experience with Coddy and Byron! Our 1-ish year old Austrlian shepherd, Wes, stayed with them for a portion of July. Coddy and Byron were very responsive to messages, sent updates (and pictures/videos of Wes), and genuinely, thoughtfully incorporated Wes into their home for 2 weeks. Two weeks! We miscalculated Wes's food and, when it become apparent it would run out a few days before, Coddy and Byron rationed and mixed it with their own dogs' food in a way that didn't negatively affect Wes's digestion. If that's not top-tier dog watching, we really don't know what is. Would highly recommend and would book again!”

“Highly recommend Amber! Our dogs looked so happy each time she sent pictures or videos, she has a great fenced in yard for them to run around in and even allows dogs on furniture and beds. Hands down my dogs favorite part I’m sure! Her sweet daughter even bought my dogs a toy, they love their new “baby”. Thank you Amber!!”

“Vanessa did a great job watching Lexi!”

“Our fur babies had the best care at Kelly and Brandon's home! They are the kindest, caring, most loving family. Kelly sent daily pictures and updates that put me at peace knowing that they were having the time of their life playing with Arvon or relaxing. Definitely home away from home💕🐾 Thank you again for your exceptional care!”

Kris C.

“Seriously the best rover ever!!!! Chance is always so excited when we drop her off. And when we pick her up, she seems so happy! She always sends pics! She also did a great job keeping her safe during the storm last week. Thank you!!”

“Laura was an amazing sitter! She watched our corgi for 2 weeks and kept us very informed of how he was doing. Our little guy has a bit of aggression, but Laura is very knowledgeable and she worked with him every day. She also sent us multiple photos along with our updates! I felt our dog was very well cared for and I would definitely book with her again!”

Amy L.

“Ghost had an amazing time with Mariana! She was incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsive. Mariana provided regular updates and photos, and she even followed Ghost’s puppy schedule perfectly. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their dog!”

Jennifer C.

“Mandy was great! She kept my dog for over a week and was very flexible with drop off/pick up times. She sent daily updates and the cutest pictures! My dog was very spoiled by her family! I will definitely be using her in the future! Thank you Mandy!!!”

“Love Fay, what a wonderful dog sitter, I’d trust Fay with my kids if I had any small children anymore. Fay was very caring, sent me photos around the clock of my dog’s activities which included long walks, napping, making friends with Fay’s dog. It was nice my dog Bao had a friend for a while in her care. I’d rebook with Fay in a heartbeat. Wonderful person.”

“Alice was amazing with our pup! Her house and yard set up is perfect to allow dogs to run and play. Alice was very communicative and patient as this was our first Rover experience. It gave us peace of mind knowing our dog was well cared for and safe while we enjoyed a Michigan State game. Will definitely use Alice again and highly recommend her! Her dog is also super sweet and friendly.”

Julie L.

“I cannot recommend Olivia enough! I will definitely keep having her watch my boy for me. We just moved across the country and have never had our dog stay with anyone he didnt already know so we were extremely nervous, but not only was she incredibly kind and patient with the booking process, Olivia even accommodated our last minute schedule mess up and took our boy in a day early. We got pictures every single day and a text on how he was doing. Got our boy back today and its so easy to tell he had a good time. Thank you olivia!!”

“I can’t say enough positive about our first experience with rover which was with Kelsey and Kyle. They took tremendous care of our little yorkie girl who usually is clingy about us but when we picked her up and Kyle left the room she whined and in the two years we’ve had her, we had never heard her whine. They also sent us pics of our girl enjoying her day!! They’re great!!”

“My dog Cooper was very relaxed and at home with Cheryl. I felt at ease with Cooper in her care with his special dietary needs and separation anxiety. I really appreciated how she accommodated my change in schedule due to unexpected travel delays. Definitely will rebook for future dog boarding.”

“Victoria & Rishi took care of our dog Charlie for the holiday week. We received update(pictures and videos) of Charlie almost daily which is very much appreciated. We could tell he was happy and enjoyed staying and playing with other dogs. I am very grateful for their service especially for older dog like Charlie(almost 15 yrs). I'll definitely use their service again when I need it.”

Monica W.

“Linda was great! This was our first time using Rover and using Linda. We had a meet and greet beforehand which put me at ease leaving my pet with her. She is very friendly and was attentive to all the directions for Charlie. He had the roam of her home and didn’t have to be in a crate. She walked him as asked and sent pictures. When we were a little late picking up she was very accommodating and didn’t seem to mind. Charlie was relaxed and calm when we picked him up. Linda and her husband are both dog lovers and you can tell! I picked Linda also because there are no other dogs in the home. Thank you Linda! We will come again!”

“Cari took care of our australian terrier for 2 weeks while we were gone. Dublin liked her right away when we went for a meet and greet. Cari sent us texts about Dublin and his activities. Dublin did not tear apart his bed, which indicated he was happy and relaxed. We were happy with Cari and her care of Dublin and would ask her to watch him again.”

“Believe the dog whisperer bio!! Our bojji boo had a blast and learned a bit of manners along the way! We will definitely be back to board again!!”

“Ellen did a great job for us. She was a great communicator and took care of all of our dog’s special needs. Her daily messages were very helpful and eased our anxiety while we were away. Ellen was especially sensitive to our dogs needs relative to the couple dogs that were staying with Ellen at the same time. Great job Ellen, we look forward to having you watch our dog again soon. Thank you so much.”
