Doggy Day Care in West Sumpter

About: I have had dogs since I was little, helped my parents walk, feed, bathe, clean up after them. I had my own dog for 12 years. My children also love dogs and love to help with them. I work evenings but while I'm at work my husband is home with our children so someone is always home to take care of your dog. We have a little yard but can offer unlimited potty breaks, clean environment, an area for naps and bedtime. Lots of love from my children to keep them entertained!

“Eileen provided lots of pictures and seemed to take good care of Mabel. Highly recommend.”

“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.”

“Rachel was very communicative and accommodating for our trial stay before an extended boarding appointment. We can tell she is very knowledgeable and caring for pets and are glad our dog will have somewhere safe to stay! Rachel and her partner have done an excellent job training their own dog, so I know that our dog will not be exposed to any bad habits (and may hopefully learn a little from them and their pup)!”

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.

“Mina took very good care of Rocket. Best part was she kept me updated with lots of photos and videos. We surely use her services again in future.”

“This was an amazing place for my dog to stay! I was spoiled with pictures and videos so I could see how my baby was doing pretty much the whole time he was there! He was so happy to make new friends, and he got to play to his heart’s content! Erin and her husband are very attentive, and Tucker loved them straight away. It was really such a treat for both of us! Thank you!”

Sarah D.

“Katie was great with our small old dog! She sent several pictures and updates and was clearly very gentle and caring and attentive. We'll definitely be using her again!”

Ian & Danielle B.

“As usual, Nicole took great care of our little Freya. She was very flexible and accommodating which we really appreciate. Freya always comes back happy and exercised. We’ll keep coming back ☺️”

Andrea F.

“Samantha was amazing! My husband and I took Maru to Michigan and needed someone to watch her while we attended an event. Maru spent two days with Samantha’s family, and we picked her up at nights. Our puppy is almost 6 months old and hadn’t been around many people or dogs, but Samantha and her family gave her outstanding care and great socialization. Maru came back to us happy and loved. I highly recommend Samantha to anyone who wants their dog to be safe, happy, and well-socialized while they’re away.”

“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.”

“I couldn’t possibly be happier with my dog’s experience at Teresa’s home. From our meet and greet a few days ago to daycare today, Teresa has been nothing but kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming to my dog and my family. Her dogs were a great mix of playful and chill - my pup is worn out this evening, haha. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I thought about daycare for my new rescue dog. Many more playdates to come. 🙂 It’s so comforting knowing she was in excellent hands.”

About: we have owned dogs, large and small for over 40 years. I have three small dogs of my own and they are well socialized and get along well with other dogs. We have a fenced in yard and a large home for your dogs to feel right at home. I am currently working from home. I have plenty of time to watch your fur babies. Weekdays ,weekends or overnights. We live 15 minutes from Metro airport. We spray our lawn for ticks and fleas. My dogs also receive flea and tick regiment. I have a fenced in yard and the dogs are able to roam where they want to. I can crate them if you would like.

“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.”

“Sergio visit with Jane was awesome, she was patient, caring and very engaged.She kept me informed the entire visit, thank you, I will b using her services again”

Shontel B.

“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.”

About: I am a lifelong dog lover! I've grown up with dogs and had my own family dog for the past 25 years. I would be happy for your dog to join me and my active Dobe for some play, walks, hikes or even snuggle time. I have a large fenced dog run and I live in a wonderful rural area with lots of parks and long gravel roads for exploring and walking. I currently work from home with a lot of flexibility in my work schedule. I love a morning and afternoon walk or hik (weather permitting) with the dogs. I have a fenced dog run and a goofy Dobe to keep your dog company. My dog is fully up to date on vaccinations and our dog is truly part of our family. We are looking for doggie friends to come and play. Lots of love and attention to share!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9 years old. My parents surprised the family with a Chihuahua and surely he became my dog, my best friend. He was always by my side! My family relied on me to walk, feed/water and bathe him! My husband and I adopted our first cat when I was 18 years old and throughout the years we ended up adopting 2 more and 2 dogs! I’m currently not working, so I have very open and free availability to play with your pets! I’m available for morning, afternoon, evening boardings and weekends as well! I don’t have a fenced in yard, but will take your dogs out on a leash. I have 2 dogs that are very friendly and love to play. I also have 3 friendly cats that love dogs!

“Paula was very welcoming and warm to Bella. She has a great big yard and her dog Satchmo is a sweetie! Thanks for keeping an eye on our fur baby!”

“Panda came back so-o-o relaxed and happy from Laura and Manuel's. (He was happy to go there, and in no big hurry to come home!) Good amount of feedback of how he spent his day and how he behaved. Their dogs are such a sweet little dog pack for any pup to join! And Laura is so good at putting anxious dogs at ease.”
