Pooch 'n' Purrs

Pooch 'n' Purrs Pet Sitting handles boutique in-home dog boarding in Traverse City, Michigan, hosting dogs in a private home rather than a kennel building. Stays are cage-free, and the setup includes a fully-fenced backyard. Boarding is offered on a limited basis, so the guest list stays small.

Services

• Boutique in-home boarding, taken on a limited basis
• Daily walks and snuggles during a stay
• Daily care visits and mid-day potty breaks at a client's home
• Overnight pet care and house sitting
• Medication administration for dogs that need it

What sets it apart

Most boarding options ask a dog to adjust to a facility. Here the dog stays in a house with a fenced yard and outdoor space. That suits dogs who settle better outside rows of runs. The business is bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates. A complimentary meet and greet comes first, so routines get discussed before anything is booked.

Owners who would rather leave the dog at home can book daily visits or overnight care instead. That mix works for travelers who want one arrangement covering both the pets and the house.

Practical details

Boarding is listed at $100 per night on the company website. Booking runs through the phone line at 231-645-0163, and questions can go to megan@poochnpurrs.com. The business is based in Traverse City, MI 49684, and posts updates on Facebook. Because space is limited, calling early is the practical move.
