Ann Arbor, MI Kennels

We've boarded our two dogs here a few times while we were on vacation. Overall we like the facility because they have a few different play areas to separate the dogs. This way if your dog doesn't get along with another dog, they have another area they can go to for refuge. I also really like the free bath and nail trims that our dogs have received when we've boarded them long-term. They actually do a pretty good job with cleaning them well and I don't feel that i have to rebathe our dogs when we get home. One other thing I really liked that relates to baths is that when we boarded our dogs in the winter and I wanted to pick them up early, the lady I spoke with over the phone didn't want to just give them to us wet. She wanted to have a little more time so that they could dry them because she was concerned that they would get too cold going out in the freezing temperatures wet. There are only a couple of things I didn't like. One was that the first time we boarded our dogs, a couple days after I picked them up, my lab pooped out a rock that she ate from their outdoor play area. I wish that they didn't have those rocks back there, and instead had fake grass or even just cement, which I think would be safer than rocks. Thank goodness my lab is a large dog and so it didn't get stuck in her intestinal track. The other thing I don't like is that my dogs breath tend to become rancid after boarding. I'm not sure if they are picking up some bacteria from sharing the water bowls with other dogs, but their breath doesn't smell like this when they are at home with us.Overall, though, I like the facility and feel that they take good care of the dogs. My dogs aren't scared when I take them there. So far they have come home safe and without psychological problems. I know they are doing fine because I can see them in the webcam they have set up.

My husband and I were going away just before Thanksgiving and were looking for options for our cat Onyx. After doing some research on Yelp, we came across Suset Animal Care. It had excellent reviews and we decided to try it out. After exchanging several emails with Ryan, he came to our house to meet Onyx and us. He was so sweet and nice and Onyx took to him right away. Ryan took notes of all the things we were telling him and asked a lot of questions (which was great). He took care of Onyx for 5 days and every time we sent him a text message to see how things were going, he quickly answered them. It was nice to know that someone caring was taking care of our cat in our own home and that he was not put on additional stress while we were away. When we got home, Onyx looked great, his litter was clean and Ryan even put all the food cans in the recycling bins outside! I would recommend Ryan in a heartbeat and will definitively use his services again.

We've been using Ryan for dog walking for about three months. We schedule 45 minute walks while we are away and Ryan was always flexible and accomodating to our schedules. We have two mini aussies - Gatsby and Layla, the latter of whom is very shy and easily startled. Ryan was attentive, responsive, and always professional. He is a truly great dog lover and carer and thinks of many ways to observe our dogs and help make sure that they are as healthy and as happy as can be. We completely trust our dogs to Ryan and we're so glad that they are able to walk with him.

I feel so lucky to have found Sunset Animal Care when I moved to Ann Arbor. I am busy with long clinical rotations and always am able to rest assured that Ryan is taking Bodie out for me. He has been so great with her! I knew I wanted to hire him after our first meeting- he was so sweet and loving with Bodie.She has had two acl replacements and can be grouchy. Ryan is very understanding of this and has been amazing with her. She loves him!He is reliable, trustworthy and flexible with scheduling. Hire him, you will be glad you did!

Ryan is awesome. I have to leave town every month or so due to my job, and it's nice to know that my cat is being taken care of so well. One less thing to worry about!
