Doggy Day Care in Garden City

“Amanda (and her family) were great! Amanda was very flexible in accommodating our last minute request for daycare to get our gal Etta comfortable prior to an upcoming boarding. We're thankful to have found her! She was easy to communicate and made Miss Etta J feel at home. We will be booking with Amanda again.”

About: Notice: I require proof of a current rabies vaccine prior to booking. Your fur baby will receive the same love and care as my own. I've always had dogs and cats in my life and I have experience with all kinds of breeds, including pit bulls, retrievers, and terriers. I can accommodate most dogs, but I cannot board dogs who have a high prey drive. I require a Meet & Greet before your first booking. I live in a typical Detroit-area brick ranch with a fenced backyard (privacy fence against a chain link). I never leave dogs outside when I'm away from home and although the yard is fenced, I supervise and play with my guest dogs when they're outside. Please send me a request if you are interested in booking. I'd love to set up a "meet & greet"! Thanks for considering the Howliday Inn! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover my whole life. I've owned a Springer spaniel, two Labrador retrievers, and an American bulldog. I have experience with many breeds and can handle just about any dog. I've hosted everything from teeny little 7-pound terriers to a 150 pound Newfoundland. I no longer have a dog of my own, so dog sitting lets me be a dog mom a few days at a time. About my yard I have a typical suburban Detroit backyard - fenced on all sides with a gated driveway. I have a large deck on the back of the house and a small/medium grassy area. Although my yard is fenced, I never leave my guest dogs unattended while they're outside. My experience in administering medication I have only administered oral medication. My main job is pet sitting and walking, so your baby will receive lots of love and attention from me. Please see my schedule for availability. I ask pet parents about routines and feeding schedules. In my home, I use a baby gate to keep dogs from escaping out of open doors. My back yard is fenced and I supervise dogs when they go outside. I have a large crate for dogs who need to be crated when left alone or for dogs who are comforted by being crated. I only use a crate for dogs who use them at home. When I’m house sitting, I take a similar approach, but I also double-check the home is secure when I leave.

“Terri is always my 1st choice when it comes to hiring a dog sitter to care for my pups! She loves dogs and it shows because my pups love her! I always give Terri a 5-star rating because she deserves it!!”

“Becky has always loved on our Molly whenever we have needed her to. She takes such good care of her and is always willing to be flexible. Molly can be rambunctious at times and Becky always takes it in stride and has cleaned her up if she gets muddy or gets in the trash. She truly loves and cares for animals and it definitely shows . The last time she had my dog, she came home with a sweater because she looked cold. Truly the best dog caregiver!”

“Lisa watches our puppy when we go on vacation and goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. She follows my dogs routine, walks and plays with our puppy and treats him as her own. Our dog is so relaxed, happy and excited when he stays with Lisa. I highly recommend her as a pet giver. Lisa is not only an exceptional caretaker and trainer but friendly, professional, knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and devoted. She demonstrates love and compassion for all animals.”

“Nadine and Mark are such professionals at taking care of my puppy. The care and attention is incredible. My pup LOVES them! thanks for being awesome.”

“Kalee and her family did a great job on short notice for a two-day daycare booking. It was Remi's first time with them but we were able to have a meet and greet the week before and that went very well. They liked him and I'm pretty sure he felt the same way. Makes me feel quite comfortable for our original booking which is two weeks away. Glad to have someone close by who can look after Remi when we just don't want to leave him for an overly long day home alone; he doesn't like that very much. Thanks, Kalee!”

“Sheila was quick to respond, and offered our dog Indie a truly wonderful stay. Would highly recommend to all!”

“Camelle did such a great job with Mojo. She took care of him like her own”

“Our pup had a comfortable stay with Saren while we visited some museums in the area. She was able to take him with short notice and she was very friendly and easy to communicate with. I recommend boarding with Saren :)”

“Kayla has done such a great job with my puppy! He adjusted quickly and I even got some pictures of how he was doing.”

“We've used Jacob numerous times for our pet sitting needs, ranging from long weekends away, to week-long+ vacations. We have found him to be incredibly trustworthy and reliable, and great with communication. He has even taught our pets a few tricks. I’d highly recommend him for any of your rover needs.”

“Bridget has taken care of my Doberman Heidi on many different occasions. Heidi has been by my side since the day I got her so I was very anxious to leave her alone the first time but Bridget’s friendliness and attentiveness helped ease my worries. Normally Heidi won’t use the bathroom anywhere expect at my house but Bridget was able to get her to go which was such a relief. She keeps Heidi entertained the entire time and always sends picture updates so I know how she’s doing. Bridget is a wonderful dog sitter.”

“Brenda was excellent! We needed a sitter last minute. She was able to accommodate our needs. She took excellent care of our guy. She communicated with us during his stay and even sent pictures!”

“Vanessa really enjoys taking care of animals especially dogs both big and small and she feels very comfortable around them and I would definitely trust her to take my dogs and walk in to watch them”

“Valentina was amazing with Happy. She sent text/pictures of him throughout the day. Over all experience was very good. I would take my pet again there”
