Dog Day Trips
Fast Fido specializes in mid-day trips to a beautiful farm outside Ann Arbor.
The farm has a partially wooded, one acre play area that is completely fenced in and includes a water pump and a shelter.
The play time is one hour, plus travel time, so your dog will be out of the house two to four hours, depending on where you live.
Why us?

Testimonials
We have a doggy cam at home, and we see how happy our dogs are to see the Fast Fido owner come get them and how exhausted they are when they get home. The pups are happier to be in a more natural environment with lots of area to run (as opposed to the concrete "cell" that was offered at the daycare).
- Aleah M.
Fast Fido is outstanding! We have three dogs with incredibly different temperaments and needs, and Fast Fido's owner is endlessly patient and accommodating with each of them. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun, safe, and unique option to exercise your pup!
- Kelly P.
My puppy goes to Fast Fido a couple of times a week and absolutely loves it. She comes home totally exhausted after running around outdoors with fellow pups all day. It is so easy to have my puppy picked up and taken on a day trip and then dropped back off at home. The owner is also very flexible with scheduling. I honestly cannot recommend this service more.
