Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!
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 $20 per visit, $5/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!
Staff was amazing and facility was huge!! Champ is an 8 year old American staffy and he had the best time playing with the staff and other dogs. Webcams were great way to check in to see how he was doing! Staff were quick to pick up and clean up any messes! They gave the dogs great attention and care! I will be using them again in the future.
I’d give them 10 stars if I could. Fancy loves going here. She comes home dog-tired! The all day play is what we love the most. It’s clean and the staff is amazing! They are always friendly and happy to see the dogs. I truly love taking her here. Exhausted dog pic 😂 …
MY DOG LOVES!! Highly recommend!! Happy dog daycare/boarding is amazing! The staff is so caring and professional, and they made my dog, Gus feel right at home. The facility is spotless and full of fun activities, and I love being able to access the live cameras to get updates throughout the day. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, I trust them completely. They genuinely care about the dogs, and it shows in everything they do. If you’re looking for excellent dog care, this is the place! Thank you everyone from Happy Dog!!
My chocolate lab puppy was making us absolutely insane!! She has so much energy and no matter what we did we could not keep up and she would not stop. I found Happy Dog and we are absolutely thrilled we did. She comes home so happy and tired. She gets so excited when the car pulls into the parking lot. The important thing is she is actually calm enough now we can train her. She is becoming such a good girl. We could never work with her before because she was bouncing off the walls.
My dogs Percy and Sadie have been coming to happy dog for a few months now.. and they absolutely love it! They both come home exhausted from a fun day at “school” with all of their friends! I love being able to watch them on the live camera running around and getting all their puppy energy out. The staff is impeccable and truly have the best interest in heart for every dog that comes through their door and it shows!
I just started bringing my dog, Bronx here - and what an incredible experience it’s been so far! Unlike other daycares, happy dog has complete open play with no kennels in site - other day cares do not care like these guys are! Truly the epitome of dog lovers here!!!
I was taking my boys, Jax and Diesel to another day care that was great, but just inconvenient for me due to the location. Happy Dog is literally right around the corner from my work, and I'm thrilled with being able to drop them off early in the morning. The boys have such a great time with their friends, and are always happy and tired when I pick them up. The staff is absolutely AMAZING...they remember every dogs name (even after the first "test" visit)... they are incredible. Highly recommend!
We take our dog here for boarding, bathing and weekly playtime. I trust Jim and his team with our furry family member. This is a full service facility that my dog can’t wait to get to. The staff is super friendly, and again, I trust them.
Our Enzo Ferrari just loves coming to Happy Dog Daycare. I feel he is at home and everyone is family taking care of him and I don’t worry when we are away. When we are able to watch him on the cameras I see he is having an awesome time with his friends and they are giving him all the love. I absolutely love this place especially how they’re able to run around freely. I would not take him anywhere else. Thank you so much to everyone here, especially the owner who is awesome. Good Bless you all!🙏🥰
Staff is amazing! Our 3 year old mastiff mix Lilly had to attend a few daycare days earlier this year and we had a wonderful experience. Early drop off times and cameras to watch during the day! When we left for our honeymoon we knew this was the only place we wanted to board our baby. We clearly made the right choice! Lilly came back all pooped out and every time I checked she was running around with all the other staff and dogs. Thank you Happy Dog and staff for being so amazing with our fur baby!!
Debbie did a wonderful job with our two pups! highly recommend
I called to inquire about the doggie daycare. First of all she answered the phone and didn’t seem very friendly. Sort of rough around the edges. I expected her to be warm and bubbly and sell herself and her services and explain things thoroughly to me. I had to pull information from her. When I told her I was looking for daily dog care, Monday through Friday when I’m at work, she said that would be too much for my dog and suggested maybe a couple days a week. My well-behaved dog is 2 1/2 years old and playful but he does know when he needs to rest. I told her I was looking for a home environment. She told me her place is open to the public, still don’t know what that means. I just didn’t get the warm, caring personality from her, I was turned off. She also does not do a meet and greet. She wanted me to drop my dog off for the day without even taking a tour of the place first. Just bad vibes all the way around. Learn to be warm and fuzzy and sell your services. After all our dogs are our babies. I wanted a home environment that my dog could feel comfortable in while I work during the day, better than leaving him home alone.
I've been bringing my dog here for 3 years now. Debbie and Marilyn are great! My dog Sophie enjoys visiting them to get her beauty treatment. Marilyn does a fantastic job on my baby girl. Thank you to you both for such a great experience.
My first time boarding here...my little fur baby seemed to have enjoyed it. Usually he comes home exhausted from shaking...today he came home and wanted to eat. That's a good sign here!! Will definitely use them again. Happy puppy!
We started bringing our Yorkie here after several bad experiences at a big chain pet store groomer. We use to get her home hours and hours later, shaking with fright and obviously sore from being nicked during grooming. She receives nothing but the VERY BEST of care here! Debby and her employees are always patient and gentle with our little baby and she comes home looking Adorable every time. Timely Service too, she is always in and out for a pleasant, stress-free experience. We will NEVER go elsewhere!!. Thank You for taking such good care of me - Lilly :)
I started taking our boy Maxx here when he was 6 months old. He LOVES it. He cannot wait to get there when he sees we are close. The owner is very friendly and easy to work with. Maxx has brought home several paw-made projects, and is always ready for a nap. I dropped him off the other day, and another dog mom saw me walking in and had to tell me her dog and mine were best friends😊 It’s just an overall fun place. Definitely made me feel comfortable when Maxx needed boarded as well. Some places just have their boarders in a kennel run and only let out a few times a day, and I have to pay extra for a little exercise. Here, he got to play with all of his friends from open to close the whole time he was there. Very happy!
Lack of experience with puppies. No temperament tests done. Doesn't look at shot records. Puppy came home more terrified, she went in scared just like she did with another day care and now hates too leave that one, because she has fun. When we go to the other one, she runs to the gate excitedly to goo play auth her friends. She still goes to was just looking for one closer to home. I mentioned that she was a puppy and still potty training. Oh and no website. Apparently i was wrong on one person working there. I have only ever spoke or seen one person.
They did a wonderful grooming job on my corgis Ruby and Gracie , I've never had a job done this nice. Highly impressed and will recommend to others. Thanks again !
My dog and I love this place. It’s very chill and dog oriented. When I get my dog groomed he always leaves looking and smelling fantastic. I highly recommend this establishment!
I drop off one of my dogs here when we go on vacation and he loves it. Im not the most convenient for pickup and drop off times but debbie is more than accommodating to me.
This is by far the best place to take your dog for daycare and boarding! The owners Breana and Amanda are very personable and professional. Our dog is in very good hands when we are away and we don't have to worry at all. I highly recommend anyone who has a dog or a cat to use All American Pet Resort in Shelby Township for daycare, boarding, or grooming. I wish there was an option for more than 5 stars!
I went in to do a tour and find out more info as I’m on the lookout for a new daycare and boarding place. The girls at the front desk were incredibly rude when we walked in, didn’t seem to like the questions we were asking regarding safety, number of dogs in play groups, what their schedule is, etc. they knew my husband and I were coming in to do a tour at that time, it was all very off putting how they treated us. Then their answer to my question of how many dogs are in their play groups was an astounding 40 to 50 dogs!!!! My eyes practically bulged out of my face and I knew that was not the place for my dogs. That is completely insafe and I’m shocked there seem to be no regulations in place for these dog facilities to protect our precious fur babies. Of the 6 places locally we visited, all American pet resort in Washington twp is the ONLY one doing play groups of this size. Everyone else I have visited and also reviewed online only does btwn 2-20 at the very most. Also, when I checked reviews for all American in Washington, I noticed reviews saying their dog was hurt in a fight, not treated by staff in a timely manner, and didn’t contact parents right away. Of course there’s many fights in the groups, this place is putting together up to 50 dogs at a time and crossing their fingers that nothing happens. I will never send my beloved dogs here.
Very pleased with our dog Harriet’s experience at AAPR Shelby. Staff is very friendly and accommodating The facility is clean and dogs are placed into appropriate groups for group play. We will definitely call them again the next time we go out of town. After we picked up our dog we noticed she didn’t wanna leave because she was having so much fun.
We adopted our Fiona late last year and she can be skittish at times. Everyone at AARP in Shelby Twp took the extra time to be calm and friendly with her to make sure they created a happy place when she visits. Wouldn’t think twice a about taking her to any other place other than AAPR Shelby! 💗 …
O stars if I could. Constant animal injuries even death and so many dogs get sick here. Such a nasty and dirty facility. So many better option in the area. Every bad review they get they have gotten deleted. Watch this one will too.
If you’re unsure where to board your dog, look no further. You can even try a half day to test it out. My best friend recommended all American Pet Resort and I’m so glad she did! I started taking Mario here almost a year ago for our vacations. I rescued him from Costa Rica and he’s still a little scared of people and dogs at first, however he continues to improve. I feel that taking him here has really helped! For example, he was giving one of the staff members lots of love and kisses when I picked him up after our last vacation earlier this month. I love everything about this place, including the suites, raised cots, play areas, playtime, and of course the staff! Mario has so much fun here with all the new friends he meets each time! I miss him so much during our vacations, however it helps that I can watch him on the webcam anytime. The staff is wonderful and I feel that they know how to handle each dog individually! I have been recommending All American Pet Resort to all my friends and family and will continue to do so. I will also be taking Mario here again for all of our future vacations.
I was bringing my dog to All American Pet Resort great friendly staff and if something happens, they’re always taken care of love love love this place
They take good care of your pet. They have both indoor and outdoor play facilities.
I like them, but they can be really irritating at times. I’ve made reservations over the phone, but some reps refuse to do it. They tell you that you have to do it online. The first time I tried to do it, the person who answered the phone kept blowing me off and I almost went with another kennel, especially since she did not give me the information I needed for the online form. Another problem occurred when they charged us for the dog’s nails, but never did it. To their credit, they tried to fix it the following week, but barely did the nails. The front desk clerk said she tried, but he was not a fan so they might still be long. Yeah…that’s an understatement. If you’re looking to get your dog’s nails done, save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. Considering how expensive this place is for boarding, they should have a consistently smooth process that meets their clients’ needs every single time. That being said, the one thing we really like about it is that the dogs get to play every other hour. If it weren’t for that, we would be somewhere else in a heartbeat.
Our Girl Trixie goes to All American 3 days a week for day care and also boarding while we are away. I can not say enough about this place, the staff is wonderful and Trixie loves playing with her friends.. Thank you All American.
