Doggy Day Care in White Oak

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.

About: I’ve cared for my own dogs for over 30 years and have provided backup support for a very successful petting sitting service for over 7 years. I’m currently working part-time. I’m a widow with grown children that live on their own. I have a Pomeranian of my own who is 10 years old. I’m available often. I have a small dog of my own to keep your pup company. Your pup will be leashed when walked around my circular HOA community

About: My partner Jenn and I have both taken care of dogs most of our lives. We have a special passion for dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities and adore helping them find joy. We have three dogs of our own and are situated on a 5 acre lot with 1 acre fully fenced. You can usually find one of us outside exploring with the dogs or just enjoying the backyard. Our visiting dogs always have such a great time being part of our pack, playing outside, exploring the trails or cuddling up next to a warm fire inside. I work from home and my partner is retired so we are always here to supervise your pups play. We can easily adjust to your dogs needs. For example, if your dog is more comfortable at night crated, we can certainly accommodate. As well, there are plenty of dog beds too! Special dietary needs, medication, etc. all can be accommodated.

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.

“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!!”

“My dog (Leo) was very happy at Ellen’s. She kept updating me with pictures of Leo. Ellen’s house has a yard which allowed for Leo to run around, which he loves to do. I would definitely recommend Ellen!”

“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: 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.

“We took our two dogs to Alice for a day trip - we were headed to Lake Michigan, and wanted to be sure the dogs were well cared-for. Alice was very cordial and her instructions clear. The dogs seem happy and content, and I couldn't believe the report on the dogs I received by email! It was a wonderful thing to see that they were doing well. Nice touch! No doubt a lot of work for Alice, but it is appreciated. We'll definitely book with Alice again. Happy dogs are very important to us.”

“My dog had a great stay with Jim today. She was kept active, taken to swim, fetched, played in a fenced in yard-- everything you really could ask for when looking for care for your pet. So appreciate the time he took to ask me questions, he had a plan for what he wanted to go and do -- a true dog lover. When I need someone again in the future, he's my call. Thank you, Jim.”

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!

“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.”

“I am very pleased with the care and affection that Murphy, my pal, experienced at Amanda’s home. Murph had the best time, and I felt assured that all was well with him. This was a good experience.”

About: I have been pet sitting for 10 years now. I have experience with all kinds of animals including fish, turtles, frogs, snakes, rabbits, ferrets, rats, birds, guinea pigs, chickens, cats and dogs! I love animals of all shapes and size and would be happy to take care of your babies when you need me. I am available everyday and if for some reason I can’t, my husband can always help out. We have a big Great Dane/Heeler mix 70 lb pup, and a few cats. We are animal lovers :) I do pet sitting full time and side gigs part time where I make my own schedule. I can almost always make it work and my husband also pet sits with me, so if for some reason I can’t make it work, he can! I unfortunately can not take dogs into my home, my dog was in an abusive home prior to us and is dog reactive. I am more than happy to come to you and am always respectful of my clients space.

“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!!”

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

“My almost one year old Vizsla came home exhausted! She even had a couple of buddies to play with. Jennifer is very kind and made it very easy to drop off/pick up. I will be using her service again.”

Dan T.

“Yulisa took such great care of our dog Cooper during his daycare stay! She was attentive, kind, and clearly experienced. Cooper had a wonderful time playing with her and came home happy and relaxed. We really appreciated the updates and her thoughtful care throughout the day. Highly recommend Yulisa — we’d love to book with her again!”

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.
