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.

One of the scariest things about moving across the country is figuring out "Oh no, where are we…read moregoing to find a dog walker??" I can't tell you how lucky we were to find Ryan: our 4-year-old rescue can be a little funny around strangers, but she was instantly best friends with Ryan. We've actually run into Ryan out in the neighborhood on our own afternoon walks, and without fail, our pup will tug and pull as hard as she can so she can give Ryan a big kiss (she is obsessed with him, haha). Beyond their relationship, though, Ryan is flat-out fantastic to work with: my wife and my work travel schedule can be unpredictable, and Ryan is super on-the-ball, dependable, and helpful through any scheduling needs. It's really special working with someone who cares so much about what they do and loves the dogs as much as he does (you'll see this in other reviews, too), but it's real and honest and awesome. I can't recommend him enough.

I love Yelp for a lot of reasons. One of the main ones is that you can find people like Ryan, who…read moreare great, small business people who might not come to your attention otherwise. Ryan was absolutely wonderful with our one-year-old Dutch Shepherd. From their first meeting Ryan made our pup feel welcome, cared for, and safe. This was especially important to me, as I was transitioning between taking care of our dog full-time to working outside our home. It was anxiety-inducing for me and our dog, to say the least. Well, at least it was for me because I didn't have someone like Ryan to ease my transition.... Thanks to Ryan, we came home each night to a happy, well-exercised, healthy dog. He loved Ryan's sweet dog, Quigley, and even perked up his ears when I asked him if he saw his buddies that day. They had some great adventures on the Iron Horse Trail together. If you are looking for reliable, high-quality care for your dog with personable service that you can count on day-in and day-out, contact Ryan. Your dog will be in the best hands. Des will miss Ryan now that we've moved away. But we'll always be so thankful for him. Thank you, Ryan!

They also went above and beyond by offering to bring in our trash can as we left on trash day, and bring in our mail. Will definitely be using their services again next time we travel!

The only anxiety I have, from this service, is that each day could be a different caregiver, so I don't know who is in my house, for that particular visit. Since we have our security cameras, all fears are set aside. We can see and talk to our dogs, see they are being well cared for and see who is there from Snagglefoot. We are even more comfortable with them now. Great service, easy to pay and contact - the scheduling online is still a little hairy though, but nothing a quick email can't fix.

Our cats are very shy, but they warmed up quickly to Katy and John. And, although they are very good at hiding, the sitters always were able to spot them somewhere and took great care in seeing that they are doing well. We were very happy with the whole process of getting to know their services and the time and patience they took to get to know our pets and us (and this initial visit was free). We felt that they were very professional in everything, e.g. by leaving detailed reports about our cats, when they visited and what they did during the visits or by sending us email and text updates. Also, we were very happy that they also took good care of our home, watered the plants and brought in the mail. That's a great help too, while on vacation. Our cats seemed like two happy kittens when we returned and we were happy about this :) We have recommended them to our friends without hesitation!

I dropped off my 6 month old Shiba Inu with Karla's Bed and Biscuit in early March for 3 days and 3…read morenights. He was fully up to date on all his vaccinations. Karla advertises her services for dogs as being cage free with an area to roam. While this may appeal to many people (it certainly appealed to me), my dog picked up Giardia from running around in her yard. Giardia is usually transmitted from dog to dogs through fecal material. Most likely what happened was that one of her resident dogs (she owns five), had Giardia, pooped in the backyard, and then my dog inevitable stepped in it. Karla does not allow tours of her facilities. It is highly likely given the volume of pets that she services, that she does not regularly clean the mud and fecal material in her yard. This is unacceptable for someone that takes care of pets. When confronting her about him picking up Giardia from her. She simply replied "that's just the way it is, it's something that just happens to the dogs that I really can do nothing about." I generally don't review much on Yelp, but I really want to urge anyone considering Karla's Bed and Biscuit to look elsewhere. She is an irresponsible caretaker of pets and your dollars are better spent elsewhere.

She responded quickly saying she could watch him and asked me if I'd like to set up a day of doggy daycare first to see how he does. I responded, saying yes and asking when she could fit him in. I never received a response after that. I tried calling, and emailing... on different days even... and received nothing. Finally, I emailed Karla telling her I would need to book with someone else because I'm running out of time and she isn't answering me. I sent that email weeks ago and STILL never heard a word from her. Very disappointed. I understand being busy but if you tell someone you can watch their pet and then you don't return any of their calls/emails after that... that is quite unprofessional and now I've been in a bind trying to find someone else who can watch him. Really disappointed.
