He has also stayed overnight when I cannot take him with me out of town. There are numerous "rooms" for dogs of different temperament and energy. It is all crate free, all the time. Each room has an outdoor area that dogs access by a garage door. They have a special artificial grass, so he does not come home dirty. Staff are so loving and take great care of him. How can I be sure? There are cameras. And you can tell in how they interact with the dogs. I have known the owner, Margaret for over 12 years. She and her husband are committed to providing the best care at an affordable price. And there are the special events. You can sign up for Halloween photos, pictures with Santa and doggie craft projects. Carl loves going, and comes home tired. What else could I ask for?

This is a review for dog walking, doggy daycare, and dog boarding…read more I found Peaceable Pets after a very thorough vetting (I am convinced I should have been cast in the movie Best in Show--yes, that is how much of a crazy dog lady I consider myself). Time and again, people on the Ann Arbor Dog Owners Facebook group mentioned Peaceable Pets. I read all the reviews, stalked Peaceable Pet's Facebook page (where Robin posts videos of her guests and informative articles about all things animals), scrutinized the information on her website, did a meet and greet with Marcy, our dog walker, a play date at the Dellwood Doggy Ranch (required for doggy daycare and boarders). I give it 10/10 stars. Peaceable Pets is an Ann Arbor treasure. You will not find someone more knowledgeable about dogs than Robin. Some reasons I love what Robin offers: 1. She understands my dog's unique personality, quirks, and needs. 2. She prioritizes the safety, well-being, and quality of life for my dog. 3. The pick-up and drop-off times worked well with my schedule, which was variable for a while, and then predictable for another while. 4. I trust her 100%. 5. Every time I bring Hagrid to her, he bounds toward her and doesn't even look back to say goodbye. Every dog parent knows that is a good sign. 6. Hagrid is calm and content when he returns from daycare. ...I could go on and on. As for dog walking, Marcy was wonderful and reliable. A few times I bumped into Marcy while I was walking Hagrid and saw his entire body language and vocalization over his joy of seeing Marcy. There is no stronger endorsement than that, in my opinion. To top it all off, Robin and Marcy have really interesting personalities, back stories, and talents when they are not caring for our beloved animals. Marcy speaks French. Robin sings in a band. They are the absolute best.

I appreciate the honesty and we will definitely be using this facility in the future.

Your pets are in safe hands if you board with Dr. Karr and Cyd!…read more I boarded our corgi here for the first time ever after my friend (who has also left a review here) raved about Dr. Karr. We have a situation where our dog requires 5 different types of eye medication, three times a day in his eyes. So that means someone has to be able to give him the meds at night around 9 or 10. Until I heard about this place, the only place in town who could do this is Petsmart. No other boarding place has someone working there late at night. Cyd told me this wasn't even an issue and of course they'd be able to give him his meds whenever we said he needed them. So it was a non-issue. Unheard of. I spoke to them on the phone a few times and they reassured me Gryff would be in good hands. First off, they take your dog out six times a day. Without a charge. That's just normal and routine. This is UNHEARD OF, people. You're lucky if your dog can be let out more than twice and they get to be outdoors. Not in a room like at Petsmart. You also have the option to let your dog be taken out in a group of other dogs (so they get some play time) or they can go out with just the people. Since our dog is getting a little older, playing with other dogs is hit or miss. To prevent this, they just spent more time with him and said he was great! I've also been told by people at Petsmart that my dog gets put in "time out" because he'd bark at other dogs. He's a mediator. That's a trait of corgis; big dog in a small dog body. But they took it as him being "aggressive" and he wasn't allowed in the group plays. At Pittsfield Pet Care, Cyd told me he was fine. Sure, they spent more time with him than him with other dogs, but they said he was totally fine. I have to trust two people who know and understand dogs over a kid working in a pet store. Dr. Karr is a licensed vet so if something happens there is someone there who will be able to take care of them. This is extremely reassuring. Given our dog's medical history, and a slight toe injury he was getting over, it was good to know he'd be in good hands should anything happen. Bottom line: board your pet here. They're going to be in compassionate dog people who know, understand and love dogs like their own. Their rate is great too ($30/night) and we only had a pay an additional fee per day because of the amount of medicine he needs. The facility is clean, which is a big thing on my list too. Drop-off and Pick-up was a breeze and these two people are two of the most friendly and wonderful people I have met.

They have cat boarding, and also they just started seeing dogs 1-2 days a week (and those days are dogs-only). If you want top notch boarding & grooming for your cats, this is the place to go. Also, you can just book a nail trim or claw caps or other a-la-cart options.

I tried this so-called dog walking service only to discover its nothing more than a van shuttle…read moreservice to hell. The dogs are not taken to a dog park as stated, instead driven miles out of town to a so called farm per their website at fastfido.dog which is in fact an open exposed field with little to no shelter located out of town with no farm in sight, just an empty field of freezing mud and icy slush, no pet owner would ever subject their pets to. No responsible pet owner wants their dog running around in freezing field knee deep in ice exposed for hours to freezing winter weather, that's why real dogie day care locations offer climate-controlled environments. If you care for your pet don't let some uncaring opportunist just dump your dog into an open icy field in 10 degree weather for hours while he sits in a warm van ignoring them while collecting your money. This concept may work in Florida with nice weather but doesn't work in Michigan.

My husband and I just moved back to Ann Arbor and after looking around we originally were bringing…read moreboth of our dogs to a dog daycare. After just a few days I quickly realized that it was not the right fit for my dogs. I was really distressed after seeing how my dogs were treated in the daycare and was so relieved when I found this service. The owner was very accommodating to our hectic schedules and was able to meet up with us during evening hours to meet the dogs. We really appreciated that he was flexible with texting (it's hard for me to call due to my job), and that he offered better pricing than the daycare. He also offered discounts for our second dog, which the daycares in the area didn't usually honor if we were buying packages. When we met the owner he seemed to be very knowledgeable about dogs, training and was a pleasant guy. He was also very understanding and patient with the questions I had - I'm very protective of my dogs, and he seemed more than happy to answer all the questions I had. Our dogs are both full of energy and have seemed to really love going to the farm to run around. We have a doggy cam at home and we see how happy they are to see the owner come get them and how exhausted they are when they get home. We got a video this week and the pups seemed happy to be in a more natural environment with lots of area to run (as opposed to the concrete "cell" that was offered at the daycare). I think if you would love to have your dogs run around and have some freedom with a small group of dogs this would be a great fit for you. They are out of the house for just the right amount of time and with someone that I feel is very trustworthy.
