Cadence Canine Care

Cadence Canine Care is a home-based operation offering cage-free dog boarding and daycare in Ortonville, MI. Dogs stay in the house and on the property at 1700 Granger Rd instead of in a row of runs. The setup includes a 2-acre privacy-fenced yard with trails plus indoor play space.

Services offered

The business covers overnight boarding and daycare for dogs, along with boarding for cats.

• Cage-free, in-home overnight dog boarding
• Dog daycare during open hours, Monday through Saturday
• Cat boarding in a separate bedroom and playroom
• A 2-acre privacy-fenced yard and trails for outdoor time
• Medication administration for dogs that need it

What sets it apart

Every new dog has to pass a temperament evaluation before its first stay, so the group is screened rather than open to whoever books first. Staff are licensed, insured, trained in pet CPR and first aid, and background-checked and monitored. The team also takes dogs with medical or behavioral special needs. Report cards and photos go home each evening between 6 and 8 PM, so owners can see how the day went.

Practical details

Published rates run $50 to $60 per night, and booking is handled by phone at 989-657-9726. Vaccinations are required for every dog. Hours are 7 AM to 7 PM Monday through Friday and 8 AM to 6 PM on Saturday. The home-based, cage-free format suits dogs that settle better in a house than a kennel, though the temperament requirement means it will not be the right match for every dog. Owners comparing options in Ortonville should call ahead, since spots in a home setting are limited by the space itself.
