Dog Sitting in Anderson

When arriving at the facility for the first time I had a few questions and even though it was prime time for pickups - the front desk was kind enough to answer them. I was then offered a peek back in the boarding room area to see the rooms where our pup would be staying. Everything was so clean and organized. I was then brought into the main office where I could see all the the camera views of the play areas. I asked a few more questions and all of the answers were impressive. They run this place so well putting any worry I had at ease. This was our first experience trying out an overnight kennel facility with our 5+ month old GSP pup. He had a stellar report card and it sounds like he had lots of fun. All the playtime tuckered him right out! Boone will be back! 🥰

I highly recommend -- we have been sending our dog T-Bone a couple 1/2 days a week to Dog Gone Fun since he was 4 months old. I can say without hesitation that he loves it -- he gets excited the minute we pull into the parking lot! The facilities are fresh, clean and welcoming and everyone I have dealt with is wonderful. We love the feedback we receive on how T-Bone did during his visit as well as the electronic doggy report card and best of all, he comes home tired from all of his playtime. I really admire how Dog Gone Fun runs as a business and I can't say enough good things about our experience.

I love dropping my dog off here for doggy daycare! He absolutely loves it, and I love reading his doggy daycare report cards. The dogs are grouped together by similar ages (my dog is currently a toddler lol), but he comes back super tired from a long day of fun. We also come here to get his nails trimmed every month, and it is super convenient with doggy daycare. The prices are very fair for doggy daycare, and nail trims. The staff is so kind and they treat the pets like their own so you know they are in good hands when they are dropped off. I attached a photo of Nash taking his nap after doggy daycare.

Great service and friendly staff! They take great care of my dog, I’m so lucky to have them in the area! Ryker is extremely personable and very kind!! Have been going to them for over a year now, and they are extremely reliable.

My 1-year-old dachshund loves DGF so much! There’s such a good system in place and the staff are great. He always comes home happy and exhausted. It’s been awesome for his socialization skills!

Our puppy Kira absolutely loves Dog Gone Fun. Every time we turn down the road she starts whining because she knows she’s about to have a fun day! The staff is great with her. We take her for daycare, boarding, grooming and training and every service is 10/10! Several have asked where we get her groomed because she always is groomed very well (she’s a goldendoodle which are hard to groom so I know the groomer is very talented!). I was nervous about boarding Kira for the first time but Dog Gone Fun made it a lot easier with their incredible boarding rooms. We took an obedience class and that was amazing as well. Small class size so we got a lot of 1 on 1 time with the trainer which was great! Cannot say enough good things about this place. Every dog deserves to come to Dog Gone Fun!

We're thrilled to have found this wonderful place for our new dog. It's clean and bright and welcoming, and the staff is absolutely first-rate. And best of all, Wilson loves it. We've used Dog Gone Fun's daycare, their groomer, and the obedience classes, and will eventually use their boarding service as well. Have been one-hundred percent happy with each! I can't say enough about this facility and its loving and energetic staff. Highly, highly recommend.

I can not say enough wonderful things about Dog Gone Fun! The staff is the best around! Super friendly and always professional! Our puppy, Hugo, has been attending all day daycare, once a week, for 10 weeks now and he absolutely loves it! As soon as we walk in there, Hugo gets so excited and goes to all the trainers with a wagging tail! The daily report card we receive is an awesome way to see how the dogs do during the day and what other dogs they get to play with! After being in daycare for the past 10 weeks, he has shown growth and socialization skills! We also enrolled Hugo into the Obedience 1 class, and that was a very successful 6 week class. He learned all the basic commands plus more!! He listens so well for being a puppy and he is getting better everyday! I would HIGHLY recommend Dog Gone Fun to anyone with a dog! You won't regret it!! :)

I take my 3 month German shepard pup, Duke there. He is a very shy, scared of dogs and human. The director of the program and the staff is so understanding. Just love how caring and understanding they are. It's not about money but all about the pups fun, helping him come out the problem behavior, understanding, helping and positive note to have them feel to go back again n again. It's a very clean facility. It is another family outside your own ,secure environment for your loved one.

Our little pup can’t wait to get out of the car when we arrive for daycare at Dog Gone Fun. He plays so hard he needs the following day to sleep and recover. I highly recommend enrolling in Basic Obedience group classes, Deb and Mechelle make it easy and fun. Dog Gone Fun also has onsite convent grooming, our pup looks so good after his cut I don’t recognize him. We were skeptical at first, however, their professional staff and services are now our gold standard.

UPDATE RESPONSE: We stand by our original review, as we have left our dogs many times over the years, (& for longer periods), and they've NEVER come back sick & certainly not needing vet care like they did here! We were Not told of bloody diarrhea upon pick up-'loose' stools as you describe are not the same as bloody diarrhea--and it's sad you think it normal that after 3 days they should have diarrhea that lasts a week due to "stress." I suppose it might matter what stressed them out in the first place. Why would we call you back after the tone of your follow up message was extremely rude and quite uncaring? Your demand we provide you with vet records-even though as you also stated in your message you didn't need our permission to obtain them, since we had signed your forms upon check-in so you could access them regardless. Not sure how that works that you can access vet records when the dogs are no longer in your care--but since we felt we had nothing to hide-we complied with your "request" by granting our vet permission to give you their records. We're also not interested to now hear of your suggested remedies as detailed in your review-since a) they come long after the fact, and b) since you're not a vet, the course of treatment you described in your review was not the same as our vet's prescribed course of treatment for our dogs--& since they now no longer have that wheezing and barking cough or bloody diarrhea that they came home with after a weekend at your facility, I'd say we made the right call to listen to our vet. While you post your well wishes for our dogs in your review response-your actions after learning of what happened to them have been anything but caring. Bottom line: Our dogs stayed with you for 3 days and returned sick, when they've never been sick after having been boarded. In fact, our dogs went to the vets 2 weeks BEFORE they stayed with you and had received a TOTAL clean bill of health with ZERO health concerns--so there is no question they got sick as a result of their stay at Pet Ritz! We again stand by our original post!! ORIGINAL Message: Do NOT Leave your dogs here!!! We took our 2 dogs (Shih Tzu mixes) here the first weekend in May 2024, and I shudder to think how they would have been had they stayed any longer!! The same day we picked them up on a Monday morning, one of our dogs had bloody diarrhea, that lasted for five days, and when we called to ask if she would have eaten something while there, they admitted that they had noticed there was blood in her stool that morning-Yet DIDN'T tell us when we picked her up that same morning! So who knows how long she was like that! They also tried to say that this was normal and can happen from stress; but our dogs are Ten & Five years old respectively and have NEVER come back like this after having been boarded anywhere else!! If the bloody stool weren't bad enough, both dogs also came back with a barking cough-turns out they picked up RSV while there too! I can only imagine how filthy this place must be for two dogs staying only four days can come back so sick!!! It's been THREE vet visits, and after a week, both dogs are still needing to take antibiotics, antihistamines, and anti-parasitic medicines-costing us nearly FIVE HUNDRED dollars in follow up vet bills!! We also found a bean in one of our pet's stools, and since neither one have beans in their canned food-Lord knows what food they were fed, but it most definitely wasn't what we brought in (one is on a specialized urinary diet, so we know how her dog poop should look-and it wasn't this!)! Even after we called, they never bothered all week to call us with a follow up to even check to see how they were doing either--ZERO care or consideration for our pets! This was the first AND will definitely be the LAST TIME we will ever take our dogs to this place!! Please do yourselves, and more importantly, do your pets a Huge favor and find another place to take your furry friends, as this place is clearly unsanitary and extremely poorly operated!!!!!

We have been taking our pup Hitch here for a year now and we LOVE Pet Ritz! He goes once a week and then boards when we need him to stay longer! We are always greeted with smiles and such friendliness, the staff are like family to us and treat our boy like he is one of their own! Upon arrival, Hitch jumps out of the car and cannot wait to get inside to say hi to everyone, he is greeted with the same excitement that he gives out and is pooped the entire next day from playing all day long! We drive out of our way 30+ miles each way because Wendy and staff always go above and beyond and don’t know what we would do without them! Thank you for all you do!

I can not say enough about this place. The place lives up to the name Pet "Ritz" . Suites for our pups even with TV's. Recently we had to board our two furry family members. I was greeted at the door with open arms and loves as I cried like a baby leaving my babies for the first time. I did message periodically to check on them, because that's what moms do. We received photos and accounts of their daily activities. One on my pups is skidish and afraid. Leaving her there was the best thing ever. When we came to pick her up she was excited, but also seemed to want to stay:) I can not thank the staff at Pet Ritz enough for their kindness and love for my fur babies. Highly recommend.

Great place for my 12 yr old labrador. Their attention to detail is like no other kennel he has lodged at before. He has lived in 3 countries and 4 states. Pet-Ritz has offered the best customer service and care that we could ask for.

We boarded our 12-year-old chocolate lab Bailey at Pet Ritz over the Memorial Day Weekend and the day before and after. Pet Ritz did a free day visit the week before evaluate Bailey. This impressed me as older dogs sometimes don’t do well when at the kennel And Bailey has some bad arthritis in her left front shoulder. Bailey did well on the evaluation day so we boarded her for the long weekend and flew to visit relatives. While we were traveling, Pet Ritz noticed Bailey’s urine had some red coloring. We had not yet landed, but they had tried to get in touch with us. Since we were not available, they contacted our veterinarian. They delivered a urine sample to our veterinarian who diagnosed a UTI. Our Veterinarian prescribed antibiotics and contacted us successfully as we had already landed. I called Pet Ritz immediately and they had already taken care of Bailey and she was doing well. The story exemplifies extraordinary attention to our loved pet and a willingness to take care of problems quickly. The staff and management is extremely friendly and I would recommend this kennel anytime as they proved to go above and beyond. Thank you, Pet Ritz!!!

I love the staff at Pet Ritz. They take great care with my two dogs both for daycare twice a week and boarding when needed. Always communicative about what goes on during their stay. As for my pups, we can't say the word camp without them heading to the door. Thanks everyone for all you do!

Following the recommendation of our vet, we took our 1 year old Bernedoodle to Pet Ritz for a visit. My wife and I and our dog took a tour of Pet Ritz. We were very impressed with the facilities, great condition of everything, cleanliness, health/welfare guidelines, services offered, operating hours and the type of dogs who were visiting. Most of all, we met the much of the staff. This included the owner who is a dog lover, breeder, exhibitor and is very familiar with dog care and health considerations. The manager is a very long-term member of the organization and shares the owner’s attitude, abilities, knowledge of dogs/dog care and has a deep love for dogs, The remainder of the staff is also amazing. Our dog has been staying there for two years now and has always received the best of care and a lot of love. The staff shows the highest standards of love, responsibility and care for the canines lucky enough to visit Pet Ritz. We can think of no higher recommendation for Pet Riz than the activity displayed when our dog visits her canine and human friends there; from the moment we enter the wonderful facility grounds she is overcome with excitement, including barking and tail wagging, until she sees her friends. We're fortunate to have found such a great place to help care for our dog. Pet Ritz is an integral part of our dog's care team and that will remain in the future.

It was difficult to leave our boy for 14 days but Pet Ritz took good care of him. We saw photos of him playing, swimming and smiling like the big goofy dog that he is. And he even came home without the typical kennel smell! Thanks, Pet Ritz, for taking care of Hunter like he was your fur baby so we could enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands.

We have been boarding our dog Ripp at Pet Ritz going on 3 years now since we got him. We live in Fenton and it is by far the best place around. The facility, care and staff are amazing. They go above and beyond everytime and Ripp loves it there.

Pet-Ritz is fabulous!! Our dog just loves going there for Daycare and boarding. The staff, even early in the morning, is cheerful and greet the dogs with hugs and kisses. Our Labrador eats that up. They are also very helpful with training tips.

Absolutely love this place! My fur baby deserves the best care in the world and I would never trust him with any other daycare. Each staff member somehow recognizes every dog that comes in. My dog, Loki, is excited every time he goes to daycare. He comes home exhausted from playing. I love being able to check on him via their webcams. It puts my mind at ease knowing he's having fun and is well taken care of.

Darwin has been going to Arbor Dog Day Care for almost two years now. He always comes home tired and happy! It's great to be able to watch him on the cams to see how his day is going. Also, very communicative and they have fun photo ops, too!

Ruby is still new to Arbor Dog, but our experiences to date have been great. Their care strategy allows the dogs to self regulate, play and rest at will. The dogs enjoy the freedom to be inside and out in the fresh air while being monitored by caring staff. We're always greeted enthusiastically, and, I really appreciate the option to plan ahead or be spontaneous and bring Ruby in as the need arises. Please keep up the great work and environment!

Thank you for being amazing!! I have 6 month old black lab puppy with a TON of energy and they go above and beyond with their service and care. I’m truly grateful for finding this heavenly place for my boy. He’s happily exhausted from the play and fun these people put together a great team and facilities. Thank you:)

My dog loves Arbor Dog Day Care and Boarding!! He can barely contain his excitement when we pull into the parking lot!! All of the staff are warm and kind. Your dog will be in great hands!! Came by to provide a one year update. My dog still absolutely loves this place. We are moving away, and it will be hard to find a place he loves as much as Arbor Dog Day Care.

Our Gizmo loves going here. He is treated like a king 👑. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly. …

They take such good care of our dog, Clifford! We need a cage-free environment and love the cameras that they offer. The staff is always super friendly.

While my dogs aren't particularly fond of being anywhere other than home, I am very grateful to Arbor Dog Daycare for providing a safe place where I can board my dogs without them being confined to a kennel. The webcams are also great and help ease my mind while I'm away. I used to work in this industry, so I know the behind-the-scenes happenings and will not trust most boarding facilities. I do trust Arbor Dog Daycare, and I am SO glad they don't walk the dogs outside a fenced area as some others do.

Zelda has been in Arbor Dog Day Care since she was 4 months old. She is very happy to be there. She would not look back as we dropped her off at the daycare. People from this place really care about dogs. They remember Zelda and are certified to look after dogs with special needs. This place also foster dogs from the local shelter and is dedicated to animal charities. Highly recommended.

My dog loves coming here! Excellent for social dogs with lots of energy! The staff is great and so pleasant 😊 …

We love Doggy Daycare and Spa in Okemos. We board our dog here often, as well as, we have a standing daycare day every week. We joke that our dog loves daycare more than he loves being at home. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I never worry leaving my dog in their hands, I know he is treated with love and compassion. Thank you Doggy Daycare!

Very professional and friendly staff. I have been taking our young dog there for several months now. They emphasize safety and help with training. I feel very comfortable and safe leaving him in their care.

I’ve taken my dog here many times to get her groomed but we will not be returning. While the staff is very nice after I picked up my dog I later saw that two of her paws were bleeding from her dewclaws getting cut. I spent $80 to get my dog back bleeding. Very disappointing.

AWESOME! I've been taking my goldendoodle here 2 times a week for approx 2.5 years now. She LOVES it, as do I. She's made lots of friends, she plays all day then (for the most part) collapses when she gets home - YES!!! =D The employees love my dog almost as much as I do and Suzi (one of the groomers there) does an OUTSTANDING job on my Ginger! 2 thumbs up! Here's a pic of her at daycare in her Halloween costume with one of her favorite people there, Nick. :) I highly recommend Doggy Daycare and Spa!

We had a great experience getting our dog Butterscotch groomed today! Highly recommend! Everyone is super sweet here! So glad we found a new groomer! Our old one retired and we were nervous but they did awesome!

Been taking our dog here for years. He loves it. They trial dogs for appropriate socialization before allowing regular attendance. If you have standing weekly visit you get priority on boarding meaning it's pretty much guaranteed with almost no notice, which is nice. Plus dogs play as a group all day. If you don't mind the rates your dog will think it worth it.

I love that this place doesn't except Pitbulls! They're showing prudence and looking out for there employees, patrons and other dogs. Pitbulls were bread to kill an serve no purpose in the modern world. Despite only making up 3% of the dog population, they account for 60% of human fatalities. All pitbulls, and quite frankly all snub nosed dogs are time bombs waiting maul people. All pitbulls need to be put down for the safety and betterment of society. I was quite pleased this place does not expect them. I feel safer bringing our dog here.

My interviewed at four daycares in the area. This one definitely has the best facilities and space for the dogs. I also love that my dog smells nice every time when he gets home. There was one incident happened when my dog attended the daycare, but the owner made substantial efforts in addressing all the concerns that my husband and I have. I recommend this place and would be willing to pay higher rate and bring my dog back if there’re live cameras in the future.

We sent our three dogs to the Okemos location for years, and they LOVE it! It was so convenient to drop them off first thing in the morning and pick them up after work when they were groomed and tired from an entire day of play. They were also great at accommodating grooming for all three dogs (one Bernedoodle and two Great Danes) on the same day, which would be a challenge for most groomers. We recently moved to Traverse City, and I haven’t been able to find a facility that comes close to offering the same level of service, convenient hours and daycare setup that is offered at Doggy Daycare and Spa. We will truly miss this place, and I absolutely recommend it!! If they ever open a TC location, we’ll definitely be there!

Taken 2 dogs here for grooming 5 or so times. Excellent service. My one dog is not very nice to strangers and actually bit our vet once! He has never had a problem here. Enjoys coming here and we can't believe it. He hated the previous groomers. He jumps out of the car and is excited. Makes me feel great about leaving him here. 💗 …
