Give your dog the movement, stimulation, and companionship they crave—even when your schedule is full. We offer professional dog walking in Bellaire and Antrim County, tailored to your pet’s energy level and your preferences. Walks are private, GPS-tracked, and customized to ensure your dog feels happy, secure, and seen. Perfect for busy pet parents, vacationers, or seniors needing extra support.

Enjoy peace of mind while you’re away knowing your pets are cared for in the comfort of their own home. Our in-home house sitting service includes feeding, walks, playtime, and medication administration—along with home upkeep like mail collection, watering plants, and security checks. Ideal for multiple pets or those who feel anxious in new environments.

Our private, boutique-style pet boarding provides your dog with a calm, clean, and loving home-away-from-home. Located on peaceful acreage in Bellaire, Michigan, we accept only a limited number of dogs at a time to ensure personalized care. Your pet enjoys individual attention, daily outdoor play, and cozy overnight accommodations—no overcrowded kennels here.

Need a quick check-in for your pets while you're at work or away for the day? Our drop-in visits are perfect for feeding, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication, or just a little extra love. Available for dogs, cats, chickens, and other small animals, we offer flexible scheduling and real-time updates for your peace of mind.

Our home care service provides a calm, reliable presence while you’re away — from mail and box checks to light checks and temperature monitoring to visual inspections. We approach each visit with care and discretion, helping your home feel occupied, secure, and tended to. It’s a simple layer of reassurance that we can build right into your pet care routine.
