Dog Sitters in Interlochen, MI

Wow what an awesome dog care facility we can not say enough about how amazing they took care of our girl(dog) we received updates and wonderful photos as she spent many days there as we was one on vacation and did not have to worry. Clean, well priced and a lot of activity to keep them calm, we will be back again. Thank you Kayla

We were visiting from out of town and scheduled a doggy daycare drop off for our pup. This place was great. I felt very comfortable leaving him there. The owner was super nice on the phone and the lady working with our pup all day was fantastic. Thanks so much!

I absolutely love taking my new puppy Koa to Deerfield. Kevin and Kayla are absolutely fantastic and my pup loves going there. Yesterday when I picked him up he turned around and wanted to go back inside the kennel lol. I feel so relieved when I go to work and I know that he is having the time of his life. Thank you again for taking such great care of my boy , I really appreciate it.

There’s something strange about this place. None of the dogs barked when I brought my dog in; the owner said the dogs were having “quiet time”. Huh? My dog, who is normally delighted to meet new people and dogs, gave me a look that said, “don’t leave me here”. I drive by this kennel several times a week and have only seen a dog in the outdoor runs on one occasion. Nothing concrete to knock this place, but I’m not taking my dog back here.

Fantastic staff and wonderful place to bring your dog. I know that my dog is safe and happy when I bring him to Deerfield. Small and family owned and operated. Convenient location and fair prices.

Our timid 15-year-old dog has a complicated medication schedule and needs a lot of TLC. Deerfield did a wonderful job with him and with our younger dog as well. I've already recommended Deerfield to my cousin.

We have been coming here for two years and my dogs are well cared for. They are always safe and happy. Great staff!!!

Don’t use this facility. If you can ever actually speak to someone, they don’t keep appointments set months in advance so when you call to confirm they say they don’t have room. Read the reviews. Complaint after complaint.

Excellent

As much as we dislike being away from our dogs, we do have peace of mind when we board them at Deerfield. I'm so happy they were recommended to us!

The very best doggie daycare and grooming around! Our two Scotties love it here! Plus the staff are always kind and courteous.

Very difficult to get a hold of. Tried to overcharge me at pick up. Did not feed my dogs despite me pre/ measuring all their food and writing on form 1 cup two times a day.. (they gave my two dogs 1 cup each per day). Completely negligent. Board somewhere else!!!

They did not feed our dogs the correct amounts, even though the food was pre-measured with instructions. One of my dogs ate half his blanket because he was starving. Also very unfriendly staff. The cat was friendly! I do not recommend!!!

Sadie and Fiona LOVE coming here and Lexi is AMAZING!

First time to kennel our dog here! We were happy and impressed with the level of friendly service and quick responses to questions. I had called a few times, stopped in, and the days of drop off and pick up had a chance to interact with the staff. I picked up my dog today, and was happy and relaxed. We will be back.

Took my new puppy in to get his nails cut, he was in and out. No appointment either. He loved the other dogs he encountered too. The staff is very friendly. I will be bringing him back again. Maybe even drop him off just to play.

Our Black Lab, Frankie, Loves going to daycare! In fact, he cries the closer we get to dropping him off each week. Great place to have our small dog groomed, too! ❤️

My dog looks amazing after grooming. He is an Aussie. Also, they take good care of him when boarding. He loves to visit!

Great place for your 4 legged friends to sleep over or get their hair done....

Only place I trust with my Shih-tzu’s. Amanda does a great job!

Tara is truly amazing with our two boys. They love their play time where they get to run around together and play catch with Tara. We also like that she takes and shares pictures of them playing. I highly recommend Aunt Tara's Creative Canine Solutions!

I cannot share enough about how amazing Tara and her staff are. We have a special needs pug with limited mobility. Tara and her staff welcomed our dog with so much love and care. He was well taken care of during his week long stay and it gave us great peace of mind. The facility is spotless and well kept. We can’t wait to use Aunt Tara’s again!

Tara was absolutely wonderful! We had traveled to the area with our 3 year old chocolate lab. Our pup wae not getting along with her pup cousins and we needed a place last minute for boarding. Tara worked our dog in. Upon check in we were immediately put at ease. She assured us our dog would be well cared for. Our dog takes daily pills and she was able to administer them. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend Tara and her staff.

Aunt Taras' is fantastic ❤️, our dogs were well taken care of, they did good, especially since it was the 1st time we left them anywhere. I'd definitely let them stay there again.

I highly recommend Aunt Tara's for boarding your dog. Whenever I leave my dog there, I can rest assured that Rocky is well taken care of. Tara is not just the owner, she is also the caregiver for the dogs. She treats them as she treats her own dog. Aunt Tara goes above and beyond! My dog gets a vacation at the same time as my family. Additionally, the facility is clean and well maintained.

My dogs have always loved Aunt Tara's for their away from home needs. Everyone is so VERY kind and thoughtful. My dog returns home happy and healthy.

Tara was awesome and worked with us to board our dogs for a friends wedding.

Aunt Tara is the best! Highly recommend boarding your pups here.

Mudbud had so much fun with Tara, he didn't want to leave!

My doggos love going here!!!.. Great place and not that expensive highly recommend

Megan is wonderful with my fur children and is incredible. She helped me out so much when I rescued Molly, who suffers with separation anxiety. My fur children love seeing her and it is such a good feeling knowing that they are being cared for and loved. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!!

Megan does a fantastic job with our pets. I completely trust her, she always communicates clearly, and she is very flexible when our dates sometimes change. I have no question that when we are gone, our pets will have the care they need.

My husband, son, and I vacationed in Traverse City recently for a wedding and had to bring our energetic boxer who obveously couldn't attend and we didn't feel comfortable leaving him at the hotel alone for hours. I found Pooch and Purrs website and decided to contact Megan in regards to having her watch Mac. Upon meeting Megan and her family, I knew that our dog would be in great hands and we could enjoy our family wedding! Megan sent me pictures throughout the evening, and my family and I could tell that Mac was relaxed, loved, and having a good time with their beautiful golden retriever . I would definately ask Megan again to watch Mac as well as recommend her to anyone! Thanks Megan for taking such good care of our fur baby!

Megan takes care of my cats when I am on vacation. She is very organized and reliable. She comes every day, does the food and litter, and cuddles with my kitties for awhile. She also brings in the mail and walks through the house to make sure nothing is wrong. I don't know what I would do without Megan. I hate leaving my babies, but I know they are safe with her.

Pooch and Purr is the best! Megan has been our go-to pet sitter for the past several years. The cats look forward to her visits! She spends quality time with them at each visit and does an amazing job of reporting to us through email or texts about how they are getting along during our absence. I highly recommend Pooch and Purr. Kathy Gray

Excellent!!!! Megan always takes great care of my pets when I am out of town for work. She makes sure my dogs are calm, comfortable and happy. I can tell how much she loves animals!

Megan treats my dog like her own. Her professionalism, experience and insights have been a comfort to our pooch and our family. I highly recommend her!

I love! love! love! Megan! She is timely, helpful beyond measure and very connected to animals. I wouldn't have made it through the first year with my puppy without her help.

Professional, dependable, kind, and amazing. A true animal lover and dog whisperer. I can always relax knowing Megan is taking care of my fur babies while I’m at work or on vacation.

The best for so many reasons. Very reliable. Been around for years. Easy to deal with tons of references. Prices are great. We are lucky to have these guys in the area.

I highly recommend Carol and Whisker Sitters. I have had Carol do my weekend pet sitting for 2 dogs for the last 13 years, and I can ALWAYS count on her to take exceptional care of my dogs and my home. I trust her 100% on both aspects, and she is a total pleasure to work with. I always know she will show up, and I never have any worries. That peace of mind is completely worth it. Her communication is excellent also. You won't find a better pet sitter in this town!

We have been using Carol for about 2 years and she is amazing! Cares for our pets as though they are her own! Our younger pup is VERY anxious around new people but Carol is so patient and works with him so well that he is totally cool with her when we are away. She has even given meds and fed our fish for us in the past. Never have any doubts letting her into our home, we always receive prompt communication and picture/video updates every visit. 1st class service and she will love your pets like they are her own!

I'd highly recommend Whisker Sitters. Carol's professionalism and passion for cats & dogs truly show with her services, and I felt very confident in allowing her into our house while we were away. Prompt communication was also greatly appreciated and she was very good at providing updates, and being flexible with minor changes.

Super awesome pet sitting service. Carol took care of my cat Millie while I was on vacation for a week in Florida. She sent me daily text and video updates which my whole family loved. She kept Millie's litterbox and food areas perfectly clean and refreshed her water everyday. She even made an extra key so she didn't carry around my emergency key (as there were issues with the key I gave her, and she was very patient about that). Great service all around.

AMAZING! Whisker Sitters is truly the best pet sitting service I have ever used. Whisker Sitters takes care of my pets like they are their own! I feel so reassured leaving knowing they are in her capable and loving hands!

What a great experience for us and the pugs! Whisker Sitters came into our home and treated our fur babies as their own! We loved the text and video updates and are very pleased to have a pet report card waiting for us when we got home and have it on the refrigerator for all to see our fur babies earned an A+. I would recommend Whisker Sitters to anyone!

Leaving my puppy at Whisker Sitters definitely gave me a peace of mind. I knew she was well loved and cared for in the way that she would be at home. I was given periodic updates including texts and video clips so that I could see how well she was doing. Thank you, Whisker Sitters!!

Carol takes care of our two cats while we are away from home. The peace of mind she provides is immeasurable. Very glad we have her service.

Carol is the best, the cats love her, very affectionate, caring, responsible and professional. Couldn't ask for a better cat sitter!

She took excellent care of my pets. Will use her again.

Wiggle Butts and Waggin Tails gave our 7 month old Cavapoo the best place to stay this past weekend. We highly recommend their place. It was our puppy's first time boarding and they prepared us and our puppy on all the things to expect. Very clean and organized facility. You will not be disappointed by their hospitality for you pet. We will definitely be back.

Brought my little Frenchie here. Discussed with owners on the phone the dogs age and sent them all the paper work from our vet which listed each and every vaccine he had. Was told there was no issue with bringing him in for 4 days. Went on vacation and got a text the next morning, after having driven 6 hrs away, that they weren't equipped to handle our dog because he wasn't old enough to board there. I had to pack my family up and head home to pick him up. Wasted $2500 in lodging for our vacation. WARNING.... NOT RECOMMENDED.

This was our first time boarding dogs ever. We have two cattle dogs, both young & FULL of energy. The staff at Wiggle Butts was so beyond fantastic with them. They sent us photos and kept us updated. They gave them their medications as directed. They also followed directions to keep our dogs together at all times because they are highly anxious otherwise. This is an affordable, clean, and trustworthy boarding facility. 10/10 will use again. Thank you guys!!

Kathy and Dave were amazing! We went on vacation up North and found Wiggle Butts and Wagging tails online as we wanted to have our 2 year old dog close to us. Chloe was well taken care of and happy when we picked her up. Kathy was quick at responding emails before and during her stay. Love that they have a large outdoor area that dogs can play and enjoy the outdoors. We will be retuning here next time we have a vacation up North!

Kathy and Dave are very personable! I trust them with my 1 year old Golden doodle. He loves going to doggy daycare at their facility! I would recommend them to anyone.

Dave and Kathy are SO kind and they’re great with animals. My little dog loves coming here to spend time with them and the other dogs. They’ve really made a special connection with her and with my family. This is the only place we board her because I know she’ll be well taken care of. They have great rates as well and are very flexible.

Kathy and Dave did a GREAT job helping my kennel-averse rescue acclimate to their place by having her do several short day care stints before she boarded there for several nights. They even texted an update while we were gone. My pup was happy, well cared for, and is still excited when we drive up. What's more, their location is convenient, clean, well organized and a great value. HIGHLY recommend!

Dave and Kathy greeted us and our dogs with open arms as soon as we arrived. Very clean, neat, and organized dog boarding! I could tell they were animal lovers as soon they walked us back. Dave set out some blankets for our pups to borrow while they stayed. We will DEF be using Wiggle Butts and Wagin Tails again next year. Very happy.

My dog, Bruce, loves coming here; and I love it because when I pick him up at the end of the day, he is TIRED. Dave and Kathy are the sweetest people. There is always the perfect amount of pups for him to play with. Great for socialization as well as exercise! Pick-ups and drop offs are easy and fast. They are by far the most flexible with pick up/drop off times for any place in the area, which makes it great for working dog owners who may need to work earlier/later than typical 9-5 work hours. I can't recommend Wiggle Butts and Waggin Tails enough! If you're looking for doggy day care or a place to board your dog, look no further.

I boarded my two mini Dachshunds over Thanksgiving. We all had a great experience! The kennel is new and well designed and the owner (who live on the property) are very patient and loving to their guests. I called several times and they texted me pictures, they reassured me many times my furbabies were fine. I will definitely use their services again. I highly recommend this lovely facility .

Tulamar Kennels have been caring for our dogs for 35+ years. Our puppies are a part of our family. The family at Tulamar have taken care of all our dogs with attention, affection and most importantly they are safe. Thank you

I highly recommend Tulamar Kennels. Tulamar has an extra large kennel for very large dogs. My dog is 155 pounds and the kennel is perfect her. She's been to other places with barely any room for her to even turn around. Heather is accustom to handling large dogs and does very well with Belle. The kennels are clean and dogs have an opportunity to go outside into a fenced area directly from their kennel. Heather and Kayla are both very accommodating and friendly.

Don’t bring your doodles for grooming!!! I brought my Sophie for her first haircut and they just did a horrible job :( It doesn’t look like a goldendoodle’s haircut. They said she was amazing during her haircut so it wasn’t her fault.

Great place to board your pets! My dogs are happier to go there than they are to see me when I pick them up!

Tulamar Kennel has been an incredible find for us! Our dog Clark can be a bit challenging with strangers / new people, so we’re rarely able to board him or send him to day care as many kennels don’t understand how to interact with challenging dogs. But the staff at Tulamar understand exactly what he needs and how to care for him. We are so grateful to them and will absolutely use them again!

My pups are not great with other dogs, and in their 5 1/2 years have never had to be kenneled before this past week. To say I was nervous to leave them is an understatement. But, I could not have been more pleased!! When I picked them up, I could tell they had fallen in love with Heather and her staff. And most importantly they were so obviously well cared for. I will be using them again and I would recommend to anyone!!

Heather and staff are very friendly, efficient and caring. The grounds are beautiful, quiet and safe. I feel good about leaving our four legged family members there when we can’t take them with us. The grooming is good too. They do just what you ask for. Highly recommend this kennel & grooming.

We own a min pin of a certain age who requires only the best care. We won’t board him anywhere else.

Heather and Kayla are fantastic. We never take our dog, a rescued schnauzer mix, anywhere else for boarding or grooming. He gets so excited when we get nearby that he whines and jumps around until we pull up!! They take the absolute best care and always do an incredible job with hair cuts, baths, nail trims, you name it. Our dog can be skittish with new people but he adores the team at Tulamar. We feel so lucky to have discovered this hidden gem years ago and so appreciate this special place!!!

Just got home from picking up my dogs for their first appointments at Tulamar. The dogs look wonderful and their trim styles are exactly what I wanted. Staff was warm and friendly and the price reasonable. Gorgeous location, too, and easy to get to. I will definitely use them again for grooming and will add boarding. Thanks, Tulamar staff!

Love,Love,Love this kennel! I am so glad we found this place. I don’t have to worry about my fur baby at all. They send you updates and pictures everyday your away. He got to keep his toys and blanket that smells like home with him so he would feel comfortable. They give your pups food and make it even more special by putting toppings on it. Have plenty of play time with them and give them so much attention that they sleep from tiredness for days. The staff is loving and fantastic!! Thank you Beaus Chateau For Pets!!

Been taking my pup to Dianas personal touch since 2019. When I heard that in Sept of 2023 there were new owners taking over I'll admit I was a bit nervous. But after talking with the new owners and staff I felt completely at ease leaving my best friend there for an extended stay. It was apparent the knowledge, expertise and love they had for each animal under their care. Recently I had to go out of town, unexpectedly. They made it so easy to get my boy in there. I'm not away from him often so I had my own anxiety about how he was doing. I was pleasantly surprised to have gotten a text update on how he was doing and pictures of him playing with other dogs! I am so happy with all the services they provide. I wouldn't recommend anything that I didn't belive in, but Beau's offers great services to people and their pets. You won't be disappointed!

I love this place. I have older rescue dogs and worry about their anxiety and being left and I’ve had nothing but phenomenal experience and Katie. The new owner is fantastic. My dogs actually look forward to coming. I had three at one time and now I have two they’re always Great and are happier than when I drop them off so thank you so much

Incredibly thankful for the last minute booking g they accepted by us on vacation so we could enjoy a full day on the boat. Our dog had the best time and we received the most reassuring updates with pictures. Highly recommend. We will be back next vacation.

I bring my girl here very often (4-5 days a week) for the daycare, the staff at Beaus are incredible! They take their time to get to know your dog, spend lots of 1 on 1 time and have always been available whenever I needed services. I would recommend anyone who would has a pet and they just need some day play or boarding for a vacation! They will send you photos throughout the day and even a daily report. I cannot speak more highly for this business, bring your pets here where it can feel like a second home!

Very glad I tried this place. I don’t board my dogs often, but feel totally comfortable leaving them at Beaus. My dogs actually get excited to go there which puts me at ease. My dogs are a handful and I can tell that the staff really enjoys having them there. My senior husky was groomed there today and she looks absolutely amazing. I couldn’t be happier with the staff and their services.

Max & Harper continue to attend doggie daycare at Beaus. They absolutely love to go here to play A LOT with their friends. (The vet praised Harper for losing 10 more pounds from playing at daycare!) They walk in like they own the place! The staff greets & spoils them every time they arrive. They come home very tired! A tired dog is a good dog! 💖. You cannot ask for a better facility & staff in Traverse City! You can see their pics after being groomed by Krysten, Harper saying hi to staff, & my dogs sound asleep after playing at daycare! Thank you to Katie & the rest of the staff for treating my girls like they are your own!

We were there in September of 23 with our dog Casper. We are so excited to be coming back in July and look forward to him staying there for daycare. They did such excellent service and he loved his experience there. Thank you and we will see you soon.

The staff has been amazing! Our dog is a pretty reactive/protective dog. She was a pound puppy with a pretty bad history. The staff has gotten her to safely socialize. They know her by name on sight. They give us a report card about her stays, which is a highlight of picking her up. They are fantastic! Can’t recommend them enough.

Beaus Chateau is the BEST! They love on our two Golden's as if they were their own. They know how to treat each of them (differently) and both our Fur Babies LOVE going there every time. We can photo updates throughout their stay, a report card of how they did afterwards and the entire staff is very engaging with both us and our dogs. I couldn't love this place more!

Cash is proud to be part of the Sun Dog family. Allison is genuinely interested in his well being. Her breath of knowledge and experience makes us very comfortable boarding Cash there during our trips out of town. She always takes time to chat with us about his stay before and after and has been helpful in making us better Aussie owners.

I'm pretty sure my dog enjoys being at camp with Allison more than she enjoys being home. Leaving my dog for 2 weeks was easy, since I knew she'd be so well cared for, and that she'd have a blast playing with her friends at camp.

Sundog is the best home away from home for our dogs. All of the dogs love Allison, and so do we.

I can't imagine anyone else caring for my fur babies. I like to tell friends that Allison takes better care of them than I do. :) She is so accommodating and thoughtful and always has the dogs' best interest in mind. She is also super giving to the canine community and just a great person! I appreciate her so much!

I am so grateful to have Sun Dog Kennel and the owner Allison in our life. We have 2 dogs and have been using this kennel for years. I never have to worry about my dogs when we are away as they have sincere and expert care, a beautiful facility, lots of outside space and a great deal of personal attention. We’ve had nothing but professional and positive experiences with Sun Dog Kennel, and it is the best kennel we have ever had! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Ellie is the 2nd generation of my family to enjoy her time at SunDog, as my Yogi did years ago! She loves to run and play in the big yards with old and new friends, and the fact she isn’t in a kennel run for 23 hours a day. As a retired owner/operator of a pet sitting business, I appreciate Allison’s attention to detail on my picky feeding prep😉. And she goes above and beyond on numerous occasions. Will never forget her bringing Ellie to visit me at the rehab facility, on Mother’s Day, as I recovered from spinal surgery❤️ Dogs that go to SunDog camp are happy, luck dogs!!

I have always had great experience with SunDog Kennel! My Charlie is a super shy boy and would really just prefer to cuddle at your feet instead of wrestling around with other doggos. Allison has always been extremely understanding and accommodating. She allows Charlie to sort of hang by himself and do his own thing when its play time outside, and even lets him hang out with her in the office so he can get some of the human interaction that he craves. Thank you as always for being amazing and for taking the extra time to make not only Charlie, but myself feel comfortable when I drop off my best friend.

Sundog boarding kennel is like no other. It is like sending your dog over to your best friends house for a week of sleep overs. Allison has a personal connection with every client. That said- I mean the canine clients! The dogs are not crated. Though she does have several crates near the front door in the office. These are for current pick ups or drop offs. Making sure Nobody gets out due to an open door. She has 2 large fenced in areas. One for the big Dogs and for for the Little’s. I happen to have a little dog who thinks he’s a big do so he plays over there. She has couches ...just for Dogs. Allisons attention to detail with all the dogs in her care is amazing. She truly is a dog person. She spends her time exercising and socializing the dogs with each other. Now because of how she spends her time during the day... with the Dogs. She is not sitting by the phone or the computer. Most likely she is outside throwing a ball, She is a one woman show with a life outside of her business. She communicates via text or email. You must bring your dog over for a pre visit. She is pretty thorough about what she expects in dog behavior. I believe that once you are a client you are well taken care of. The problem is getting her away from her passion ... the Dogs. But once you have ....you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a commercial kennel with an office staff and dog walkers this probably is not the place for you. This is DOGTOWN!

Emailed, texted and called. Received a complimentary email telling me that I would hear from them soon... a day and a half later I get a text explaining that they were out of town and asking me for my dog’s information and experience with boarding. I write back with the information and a couple of pictures, a day and a half later, still no response. Good thing I took the precaution of making arrangements somewhere else after the first 24 hours!!! The terse message at Sun Dog says that dogs are her first priority, but I am the one writing the check and how I’m treated tells me how my dog will be treated. Clearly other people have had great success there, but I think she also has a reputation for not responding well, as quite by chance I talked with someone else who had the same problem. Maybe you’ll have better luck if you have the time to wait a week to make an appointment.

I bet they are great with dogs but good luck with getting a hold of them. I had our dog care back out last minute and I called and texted to no avail. They texted to let me know they were busy watching the dogs and that was it for 2 days. A simple "we're full" would have been acceptable. But instead I was ghosted.
