Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you’re not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sara went above and beyond for us and our pet. Gave us some peace of mind while out of town and we couldn’t be more grateful. Def recommended!

A small park located in town, it is 300 feet by 300 feet. There is no fee to play there but animals must be licensed, in accordance with Michigan law. With an annual average snowfall of 124 inches, this park is a convenient place for a quick romp year-round. Fundraising events, such as "Bark Bark Support Our Park" during the Fourth of July Parade support and celebrate a safe place for play!36

The Soo Strong Trail is supported by the rail-to-trail conservancy. This trail is one of the 1600 nationwide trails created to form a network of trails from previous rail lines. The trail had been a rail corridor and runs for 32 miles. A terrain for the hearty, you and your dog can "ruff it up" on this trail composed of sand, ballast, and dirt. The trail is known for cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, walks, horseback riding, mountain biking and walking! It makes for a perfect place for an excursion of exercise and sensory excitement for you and your best friend!24
Dog Sledding in Michigan
With snow and dogs comes the sport of dogsledding. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy this sport in the upper peninsula of Michigan, not too far from the Sault Ste. Marie. There are a variety of dogsled events that include the UP 200 in Marquette, the Tahquamenon County Dog Sled Race, and the Kalkaska Winterfest. In nearby Milan, Nature's Kennel Dog Sled Adventures will provide a variety of dogsled outings in which you can drive your own dog, team, or take a ride in a sled. Mush!12
Take a Walk to Canada at the International Bridge Walk
One day a year, you can join in the International Bridge Walk into Ontario Canada! The bridge arches 2.8 miles across the Soo Locks and rapids (called “sault” in French). This unique walk has a festive spirit as walkers are excited to take in the view, enjoy the day, and celebrate our friendly relations with our neighbors-to-the-north! Just remember to take your passport or identification for international travel. To bring your dog across borders, you must have a health certificate from a licensed veterinarian to ensure that your pet is healthy and clean. Be sure to pack a treat and some water for the day. Check out the boardwalk with surrounding nature when you are near to shore - it's sure to please your pet's sniffer!
Downtown Dining with Your Dog
Downtown Sault Ste. Marie has many charming restaurants and coffee shops. The Lake Superior State University is nearby and there is a constant bustle of students, neighbors, and visitors to the area! There are a number of spots that welcome you to bring your dog. Frank's Place has a couple of tables outside for breakfast or even a turkey dinner if you'd like! Cup of the Day is a coffeehouse featuring fresh and healthy salads garnished with Traverse City cherries. Biggby is a Michigan coffee spot known as fun for "Fido-tastic" servings of pup-cups while owners savor coffees, smoothies, and baked goods.
