Because of a few circumstances that were beyond our control, our holiday plans were a total bust. Beforehand, we had a meet and greet with Callum and knew that he would be a great fit for our little fluff. You could tell right away that he's an animal lover with a magic touch. We felt confident leaving our home and our kitty Doris in his trusty hands while we were away. That said, when our trip plans didn't pan out accordingly, we still wanted to extend the invite for him to stay with us during the Holidays. So, now having lived with him for a bit over a week, we're more than happy to give him an outstanding character reference. Callum is kind hearted, very respectful, dedicated and so easy to be around. Rest assured knowing your fur babies are in good hands!
LaShanda was a dream to have as a sitter for my dog, Blue. She truly went above and beyond. I couldn’t have asked for better communication as well as having someone I felt 100% comfortable staying at my home and taking care of my baby. She sent a detailed report of Blues “vacation” including her eating habits, potty breaks and adventures she went on. I loved receiving so many pictures of Blue being Blue. I could tell she was happy and comfortable. Would host again anytime!
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least 29.99 per visit, $20/week per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
This is the best daycare/boarding option in Oakland County! My two have been to two "franchise" daycares near me, and Companion Pet Lodge is by far the best! You can tell that all their employees really love dogs. The have playgroups and can match your dog to dogs with similar energy. They send you pictures often and just are great to work with. PLUS they are staffed 24/7 so the dogs are never all alone in the building!
We have been taking our dog Rudy here for a little while now, and let me tell you, this place is amazing! The staff is beyond friendly and focused on making sure all the dogs have a safe and fun time there! They'll even take the time to show off the facility if you're going for the first time. It's definitely worth every dollar spent. Your pups will thank you tremendously !!!
I love Companion Pet Lodge! They take excellent care of my dog who has separation anxiety. They always send a picture and they have a camera where I can watch her anytime. Also, the staff is so kind and caring! Thank you!!
Bill and Debby are absolutely phenomenal people and manage a great operation. Wonderful spot for daycare and I don't trust any other place with my dog for overnight trips. They send several texts a day with updates and photos. There is a live camera feed of both the play area and the kennel which gives me such piece of mind. You get to watch on your phone how much your pup absolutely SHOWERED with attention. Also so conveniently located on Highland Road!
I highly recommend Companion Pet Lodge for doggie daycare and boarding. They are completely and emotionally invested in your pet the entire time your pet is there. The owners are onsite and everyone is actively involved with your pet all day. Great facility with padded flooring in the daycare play area and an indoor potty area so your pet does not leave the facility. Very clean environment. The owners, Bill and Debby, are terrific and accommodating and Ryan and Emilio are great with the dogs and it is clear they love interacting with them. They play with them all day. My dog loves being here. You will not find more loving people to care for your pet at any other facility. Choose Companion Pet Lodge.
We love this place for our dog. The owner is awesome and has a Husky himself. King always gets the best treatment when he stays. King looks beautiful after his bath and double blow out! It was so nice of you to blow him out twice! His coat looks so luxurious and soft! Thank you so much for taking good care of our dog once again! Always feel comfortable leaving him with Companion Pet Lodge! Strongly recommend!
My dogs recently stayed 2 nights at Companion Pet Lodge. I received lots of pictures, videos, and updates during their stay. They had a blast and I could tell they were so comfortable and happy there. They truly care about giving the dogs a personal, loving, and fun time while we’re away. They even took care of my special needs dog with megaesophagus. His care isn’t too difficult, but it’s different from a normal dog and they took the time to learn and care for him perfectly while we were away. They truly love and care for our dogs. They put their heart and soul into their business and it shows. My dogs can’t wait for their next stay! I can’t wait for the peace of mind knowing that they’re having a blast and loved the whole time I’m gone.
Our dog LOVES coming here! It’s a bit of a drive for us, but it is so worth it. They have fun theme days for daycare and send pictures over text throughout the day. I also really appreciate their hours - being open at 7am is perfect for dropping off before work! You can tell the owners & staff really care about each dog!
Such a wonderful facility. Calmed this dog owners first boarding experience. I was able to log in and see my pups. And every time they were so happy running with the other dogs. Also, received text pics throughout the weekend. Thank you, we will be back for our next trip!
People here care about you pet like you do. They have a camera so you can see your pet in their sleeping area at any time. Complementary bath when we picked him up and they do a great job at trimming his nails. Little more expensive than many other places but knowing your pet is well cared for is worth it. Our 16 year old dog was there for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Nice caring people.
Ellen loves little animals I thoroughly trust her with my dog anytime I go out of town or just to wait for the day can't go wrong.
Our (2) Labrador Retrievers have been lovingly cared for and adored by SSWD, Michelle Payne and her staff for almost 6 years. They LOVE her and everyone that have cared for them from her business. We appreciate you and are so blessed to have had you around all of these years loving our babies as if they were yours! Thanks for all you do and for always going above and beyond! These days you don’t know who to trust, but we have sure trusted you with our precious angels! Much Love, Beauregard & Maxwell Calhoun & Family.
Highly recommend Michelle!!!!! One of our dogs is a little nervous with new people and she spent extra time to gain his trust - we can tell he loved her!!! She took such good care of our boys. 🐾 …
Michelle from Sit, Stay, Walk was amazing! It was everything we wanted in a pet sitter. She kept a log of her visits, with a list of the duties she completed, she gave us periodic updates, everything clean and neat when we came home AND she got our mail!! Amazing!!
Sit stay walk Dog walking and pet care are great . They are so good to our labrador puppy and patient loving and kind. Don’t know what we would do without them. Our dog walker, Hannah. She is amazing! Gives us peace of mind, knowing she takes such great care of him . Gina Daniels
Savannah & Michelle take such good care of my boys. They were very accommodating to my schedule change last minute and taking extra care of my injured pup. Highly recommend.
Let me just say these gals are AMAZING 😍. We found they went above and beyond what they were to do. Our dogs LOVE them! There communication while we were gone was outstanding which Included even pictures! If you're thinking of a vacation or let out service or dog walking these ladies are your go-to ♥️ We highly recommend them to all our fur family.
Very upset! The sitter (S.E) locked our dogs OUTSIDE in our un fenced yard the weekend before the 4th! So people were already setting off fireworks! A conversation that I had with the sitter several times warning about the unpredictable nature of dogs and what will freak them out! Our neighbor corralled them after hearing them whining for SEVERAL hours! When I contacted the sitter she said she had “just” left but the neighbor proved that entirely inaccurate. When I contacted the owner as this was all happening she didn’t even feel the need to respond to my text AT ALL!!! I contacted her again after six hours and she didn’t even apologize! I waited several hours for the sitter to show me in photos that she was in fact back home with my dogs safely in the house. She didn’t rush and I HAD to ASK for proof she was back and everything was as it should be! Unbelievable! Then she had the nerve to take the tip I left in advance and left our shower a mess! Never ever use this company!!! The owner doesn’t even care!
This is a very professional organization, patient and caring. You would be hard pressed to find a business that is as concise and timely. Your animals will be in good hands, and your mind at ease while you go about your daily life. Couldn’t recommend a better service, you won’t regret booking an appointment.
No one will take care of your animal babies as well as SSW!! I can’t say enough great things, and highly recommend! Your fur babies will thank you 😊 …
Used them for a vacation sit recently. Amazing service, and was great with my doggos! Will be using them again in the future!
I've been taking my 15-year-old dog, Benji, to Jesse for grooming for years, and she always does an amazing job. She's so gentle with him and ensures he's well cared for throughout his appointment. Five stars for Jesse!
The staff is very nice and they do a very good job grooming my small dog. The only complaint is they gave me a price and charged me $12 more later. I have been taken my dog there a few times and they always tell me the price has increased.
Melissa, Jay and the other trainers at Union Lake Pet Services are top-notch trainers who love what they do. They're endlessly patient with our Riley, who is adorable but NOT the smartest or quickest to catch on! We LOVED the drop-off training; after each day, we had a 30-minute session where they "trained" us humans...and then we could just practice and reinforce at home! Riley is now a fully certified therapy dog, happily reading with kids at a local library, thanks to their hard work!
Union Lake Pet Services is amazing! My pup has been coming here for training and daycare since he was just a little guy. As the staff know, Desmond is a bit quirky. He started developing some behavioral problems as he grew from a pup boy to a pup man, and they have been there with me every step of the way. He loves daycare and the staff is great with him. I try to take him weekly to keep him socialized. But I also take him in when we are having company because he is fearful of strangers. But here you can tell he trusts everyone and he knows it is a safe space which is a huge deal with him. But the main reason I came here to write this review was because I wanted to give a shout-out to their training side. Dez has problems with resource guarding and fear agression. He has made so much progress with his resource guarding. Before he would snap and bite. Now we can walk around him while he has high value things like bones and even call him away from them and I can pick them up with no issue. But a short while back, someone who he has bitten before came home, and he grabbed his chew treat and brought it over to her wanting to be pet. And then she moved to the other part of the yard and he picked his chew back up and carried it over to her again for more pets. Thats crazy progress in both his resource guarding and fear agression. I was so surprised I had to take a picture to show them. Thanks so much for everything you guys do!
I took my pet in for the first time. I was very disappointed. I got home and had my daughter in law trim her face. She is a Maltese Pom. 68 dollars is an extreme amount to began with. I would hope it would last. This is two wk. now and she is ready for another hair cut won’t be going here.
Charlotte, Evette Thank you so much for making our dreams come true with Tiny! thank you to the entire staff at Union Lake Vet you are all so professional and caring! Every Single Employee at this facility is just so Great! we cannot thank you enough. Not only is Lexi (Tiny) Happy, we could not be happier. Jeff, Lorry & Lexi
I needed a doggy daycare for my rescue pup, as I anticipate not being able to WFH forever. I researched all the local doggy daycares, and union lake caught my eye for several reasons. They have a vets office attached, dog training and behavioral modification can be added on, the dogs can get a hot lunch or peanut butter long added, and the facilities looked clean and expanded. They were also the best price when buying packages to lower the cost of daycare. I started off with the 3 day intro to daycare so that my dog would get more specialized attention during her first few days making sure she was acclimating to the environment well. We are on day 2 of 3 and I love it. They have sent me videos both days of her playing and having fun so I know she is well taken care of. This place is affordable and when I have to go back to work its conveniently located. Super happy with our experience so far!
Athena has had bad experiences with past groomers. This place is hands down the best experience. Claudia spent time going over what we wanted and Athena was calm. The grooming area is completely open so anyone can view the going ons inside. Her grooming was impeccable and so reasonably priced. This is our new grooming place. Thanks so much for the gentle and excellent service.
The Daycare and Training team have been great! Our Ridgeback puppy loves going here and has really started to accept all of the training tactics. I’d highly recommend going here
Has so many options for dogs, I use them for training and daycare. The Staff is so incredibly nice and clearly loves for animals. For my cats I use them for grooming and they always do wonderfully.
