Doggy Day Care in Waterloo

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!

“Outstanding! Warm and caring - exactly who you'd want to entrust your baby to.”

“So very nice! This was an unplanned trip for a family emergency. I was so lucky that Catherine was available last minute. She was very flexible regarding my needs to visit someone in hospital. My dog was very happy at her home. It was a relief to know he was being taken care of so well. Highly recommend.”

“Thank you Caroline for taking such good care of my Ku'uipo. The video's and pictures you sent of her eating and playing was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be coming back the next time we're in Michigan.”

“Highly recommend!”

“Nicole and her family were terrific! My two pups were so tired when they got home from playing all day. She accommodated my nurse schedule and I am forever grateful!”

Kathryn C.

“Monica was very patient with us and Taz. We are new to doggie daycare since adopting him a year ago. We did a meet and greet before his first (short) stay, and came up with a plan to get him acclimated to their home and interacting with the other dogs. I appreciated all the photos and the update during his visit.”

About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have cared for pets for over 20 years. I’ve had dogs since I was 20 years old and also worked in a veterinary clinic while I was in college, where I gained hands-on experience in animal care and behavior. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society, where I help care for animals in need. I also enjoy spending time with my friends’ and family’s pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or keeping your pet company, I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and can provide care when it’s needed — whether that’s daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, my goal is always the same: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In My Home: I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with lots of space to play, relax, and feel at home. I follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible — including feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest. I limit the number of pets I care for at once to ensure each one gets plenty of individual attention. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. In Your Home: I respect your space and care for your pet just as you would. I stick to their regular routines, give them lots of love and attention, and keep everything clean and tidy. I can also water plants, bring in mail, or do light home tasks if requested. Most importantly, I make sure your pet stays calm, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow any special instructions or routines to keep them happy and healthy.

“I was super nervous before dropping off my Ollie but once I met Rodney and talked to him, my nerves were calmed. He made sure to give me updates throughout the day and sent me pictures of guy max'in and relax'in. I will for sure be using him again”

About: My whole life I have had dogs. When I was little a yellow lab, and now a very large charcoal lab, his name is Finn in my profile picture, he’s my best bud. Also added another furry friend to our mix, a red golden retriever, her name is Sadie. I also have four cats, one big orange tabby, a calico, and two black cats. My heart is full of love for animals and I would treat yours like my own. I dog sit for my grandparents as well, and friends as needed. I had the honor of helping train my grandmas dog and Finn as well. Simple things like learning to sit and stay but still important! I am currently home for the summer from college. I attend Ferris State and will return in the fall. So, I am just looking for a part time gig for the summer! Besides one vacation in June I am completely free for all potty breaks, walks, etc during the week. I have two dogs at home if a stay at my home is needed, I have leads available for use as well. We also have a fairly large crate used for our golden when she was a puppy, so your pet can be crated if necessary! My pups are very friendly and would love the extra company! I also have no problem staying at a clients home if that makes things easier! I have reliable transportation and have an SUV to take the pups to the park or anything like that! I often take my dogs with me to the store when I can and sometimes stop for a pup cup.

“My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety as well as fear of other dogs. It has been challenging finding the right caretaker for him. Richard and Sarah have been fantastic with Guinness and he enjoys his time there. A little out of the way to get him there but worth it because of how great Richard and Sarah are with our boy.”

“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!!”

About: Let your dog vacay with me. There will be more wagging and less worrying. Im a caregiver by nature having 40+ years experience as an RN. I am retired and moved to AnnArbor 7/2025, to be near my 3y/o grandson. I am a stay at home mom to my 6 y/o red, fox lab named Roger. Roger is accustomed to having boarders. I live alone. You and your dog are treated like family. I have a large fenced area on an acre lot. Retiring this year after being employed as an RN for 43yrs makes your fur baby my sole priority. I boarded dogs for 10+ years before moving to Ann Arbor in 7/25 so I could be more involved in my grandson's life. Your pet gets lots of T.L.C. in hopes that my home feels safe and comfortable like your home. I am a home-body. I don't like leaving the dogs alone so rarely do. I like to take the dogs on field trips, to nearby forest preserves or parks so they can enjoy new smells. I live alone on 1.2 acres so I have plenty of space for fetch, tag and wading pools. I have a fenced yard which is secure. Walks on leashes are common for a change of scenery and sniffs. Dogs are allowed on all furniture. My king size bed has plenty of space for any fur baby who would like to sleep with me. I only board one dog at a time (unless they are from the same family). Iroutinely send texts with photos so you can see how your dog is enjoying his or her vacation.

“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 a very dog and cat friendly place to call home. Most days I am outside working around the property and the dogs are out with us. I’ve raised our dogs from 8 weeks old and the Labs are obedience trained and have taken their Canine Good Citizen class to hopefully be Therapy dogs soon. Our Pug is the youngest and raised by the Labs and of course, me. In the evenings it’s relax in the chair time. The dogs love to snuggle up and just nap after playing outside. I make my own work schedule and am able to fit work around pets. Usually only leaving the dogs for an errand run here and there. I go outside with all dogs and walk them on the property. I feed 2 times a day plus a snack or whatever is necessary for any visiting pet along with fresh water at all times. All pets have free range of the house day and night unless otherwise requested. I have an outdoor kennel for nice days if they need to be outside for a little while.

About: I’ve been caring for loving animals since I was 11, and over the years, family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and look after their pets with consistent compassion, patience, and genuine affection. I’m currently working part-time so I’m home throughout the week. I’m available to pet sit, dog walk or provide a midday potty break. Mostly during the week however my schedule is flexible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, provide gentle companionship, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their family is away.

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.

About: I've had different dogs in the house for my whole life. As a kid my family brought dogs in for foster care. We've taken care of multiple dogs with disabilities, including deaf dogs and partially blind dogs. Dogs get along with me well and I'm good at getting shy dogs to warm up to me. I've also volunteered with the Jackson County Animal Shelter, working with the cats at PetSmart. I've also taken care of relatives'/friends'/neighbors' pets. Currently I spend most of my time at home working on my online classes so I will have plenty of time to spend caring for your dog. On the rare chance that I'm not home at least one of my parents are in the house and will be able to fill in for me while I'm out. The dogs that I own eat at the same time everyday and go out as needed, but if your dogs need to be treated differently it will be easy to change things for them. Just fill me in on what your pet needs to be taken care of properly and I should be able to get it done.
