Our Family

About Us

We are a family of four humans and three dogs. I have worked with animals most of my adult life and have been dog obsessed my entire life!

Before relocating to northern Michigan, I spent 15 years working at a large animal control facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. I worked as an animal care specialist, a dog temperament assessor, and an animal control officer at the shelter. I am confident with various breeds, sizes, and temperaments of dogs. I genuinely love caring for dogs.

THE KENNEL

About Pike's Place

Our goal is to give your pet the safest, coziest, and most caring environment possible while in our care. And our central location near Boyne Mountain and serving the surrounding communities of Boyne City, Boyne Falls, Gaylord, and Petoskey, allows for a convenient dog boarding establishment for locals and area visitors alike.

We are a small kennel with ten runs in total. Each run is 4' x 6' on the inside, with access to a 4' x 8' area outside. A solid wall separates each run, and the end is chainlink so that each dog can view their surroundings but not its neighbors.

We have two outdoor exercise yards where dogs may go potty, run around, and play. Dogs will have solo playtime unless they are from the same household.
