Doggy Day Care in White Oak

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: *** Free walks included with drop in booking price *** Yes, I will walk your dog(s) free of charge for the drop in booking price…. I provide this service free of charge for all my clients as a thank you for your business. My family has lived in this area for over 100 years. I was a veterinary technician for 20 years and I have experience with cats, dogs (large & small), fish, reptiles, and farm animals. I have one Doodle, a rescue pit bull, a chihuahua, and two cats. We had cows, ponies, and donkeys for many years but now that my son and step daughter is active in sports we have retired from farm animals. I’m very experienced with all medications including but not limited to: insulin injections, eye drops, and oral medications. I walk dogs daily in Howell, Fowlerville, and Brighton so normally last minute bookings are available. I hope to meet you and your friends soon! Im now a stay at home mom and I work from home. This allows for a flexible schedule for pet sitting and allows me to be available for short notice/emergency visits. I’m generally available through out the day for your pets needs. I don’t normally watch animals in my home but directions will be followed exactly for the care of your pets in your home. Leashed walks or whatever care is needed for your loved one.

“We dropped Olive with Caroline for the day while we tailgated and attended the Michigan game. Caroline was communicative and flexible with our timing. Olive had such a wonderful time playing with the pups, she slept the whole next day!!”

“Kimberly was super flexible and great with our 7 month old pup, Maggie! She communicated well with us ahead of time and made the whole process smooth as we were navigating Rover for the first time. Her dog Sparky got along great with our dog and Maggie was nice and tired out in the evening. Thanks again!”

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I currently have a 12 year old Doberman, a 2 year old pitbull mix, 4 black cats, 2 donkeys, 6 chickens and a parakeet. In the recent past, I worked as a temporary Animal Care Technician at the Ingham County Animal Control which gave me experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and cats with different behaviors. I also learned a lot about giving medications and vaccines, animal enrichment, feeding guidelines and more. I am very interested in dog training so your dogs will get some free training as I am sure I will be practicing any new techniques I learn with my clients! Recently I opened a small dog daycare a mile down the road from my home. Any dog that stays with me will likely get to go down to play with other dogs during the day. If you would like to learn more, just ask! Pet Care is my full time job. I love what I do. Please see my calendar or check with me on my availability for specific dates and times. BOARDING: Any dog I board must get along with my dogs. We will set up a free Meet and Greet at my home before the visit gets booked to make sure it will be a good fit. I have a large fenced in back yard but can also take your dog for daily walks if you prefer. We do also have 2 donkeys that share a fence line with our backyard area. They are used to dogs and have never broken through the fence. I always treat others pets as my own. I interact with them with patience, gentleness and love. I only use positive reinforcement. I am an active person and love to play ball and go for walks or slow jogs, but I also love to cuddle with any furry friends. Pets are family!

“We are the first timer as we are new to this place with no reference. We took a decision to go with Dustin and Sarah with our gut feeling and it turned out to be such an amazing experience. They are extremely welcoming and treated my pet like their own family member. I will be definitely recommending them as a great people to take care of your pet.”

About: I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I focus on providing consistent care, following routines closely, and keeping owners informed every step of the way. I work in education with summers free and much flexibility. I am happy to provide care at the time of day your pets need it! My home offers a safe and clean environment for pets. I have 3 cats who get along with other animals. In others’ homes, I offer respect for the space and reliability to follow instructions.

About: We are a just a loving couple with a couple of cats and dogs. Our farm is ready to share the love with your animals and take them on an adventure when you are on your adventure. I’m Jack and I stay home to take care of my family. I live in the country with a big yard and I love animals. My girlfriend walks and takes care of animals by my side. There is always someone to love them and someone there for your animals needs. We have a big field for pets. Two dogs that roam as they please. They are trained to stay in the yard. One pet must be tethered, he gets 100 ft of chain to adventure. We live on dirt roads and have plenty of space to run all the energy out of your pups. We also can care for quiet and gentle pets. We accommodate whoever visits our home, the Hideout.

“Jason and Kristen have taken such great care of our dog Eddie. He usually has separation anxiety, but always RUNS to their door to be played with and cared for by this family. My requests and quirks are respected, photos are sent and communication response is as close to immediate as one can be. I rest easily knowing my dog is in responsible, caring hands!!”

“Victoria & Rishi are incredible. They were responsive, kind, thoughtful about their day report back, and overall lovely folks. Their home was clean and perfectly organized for pup play. They were thoughtful to integrate their own dogs slowly on Winston’s behalf. Overall, I am SO grateful I found them. I completely trust their discretion and never once felt myself worried about leaving Winston in their care. In addition, Winston was so exhausted after daycare, which means he was able to play hard. I cannot recommend these two enough! I will definitely use their services again in the future.”

About: Been around dogs since birth. I understand dogs better than I understand people. Trained my dogs to do basic stuff within first couple days of having them and won't have a problem doing the same with yours if wanted. Open to any dates at any time of the day. Currently this is my only job to try to get enough experience to open my own board and train My dogs free roam around the yard. Neither of them step outside the boundaries I have established for them. No shock collars, no invisible fence needed just a firm understanding between my dogs and I

“Deborah was amazing with our 1 year old Labrador! Perfect home with fenced in yard for lots of playtime with her own pup. The two dogs were perfect playmates and even took a neighborhood walk! Highly recommended for a caring, loving home for your pet's care.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover currently studying Zoology, with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small pets of all personalities. I share my home with my Treeing Walker Coonhound, Bear, three cats, and several degus, and I’m especially experienced with shy, anxious, and sensitive animals. The only pets I’m not able to care for are spiders or tarantulas due to arachnophobia, but all other animals will be cared for with patience, respect, and the same love I give my own. While attending college online for my Zoology degree, I maintain a very flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care and meet a variety of client needs. I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day and week. I care for pets by following their established routines and providing a calm, safe, and attentive environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I focus on exercise, enrichment, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship, while closely following any specific instructions. For in-home sitting or boarding, I provide a structured routine, close supervision, positive reinforcement, and regular updates so pet parents can feel confident and informed while they’re away.

“I am thoroughly pleased with the care provided. My pup is happy, too. When we arrive at Amanda’s home, Murphy is excited, eager to get inside and play.”
