I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.

Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
Jenny
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.

Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!

After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.

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.

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.

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.

Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .

So glad I found such an amazing place with great people to watch over my dog when needed. My dog, Kocur, gets so excited when I tell him he is going there. I highly recommend Monkeyshine Kennels for your boarding needs!
I brought my VERY dirty, 80 pound Great Pyrenees in for a grooming for her very first time ever. I didn’t even recognize her when I got her back. Ive never seen this dog so happy and so clean. She’s went from looking like a stray to looking like she should be in a beauty contest. They do such great work for a GREAT price. Thank you so much, my pup thanks you even more! We will be back!
Very friendly and caring place, that does their best to make your dog happy.
We had our husky girls stay with Monkeyshine while attending Ferris State University graduation. They were welcomed very openly and loving. The girls took to the staff instantly. They loved it with them. We would go back if in the area again in the future. Thank you staff at Monkeyshine.
Cooper looks great after his grooming. They did at great job!
Boarded my baby here, and they are amazing caring people! She was happy and had been taken well care of. She even smelled great, unlike many other kennels when I've picked her up, and she smelled and was dirty. Drop off and pick up is seemless, and they have an amazing online reservation service through their website!
Great place for boarding your dog! Great staff. Want to say Thank you to Samantha for taking such great care of our Abby!
We were in the middle of a cross country move and April took great care of our dogs. She worked with us on our shifting schedule, set up visits, kept us updated on their Facebook. Our dogs were so happy and well taken care of. I just booked their 2nd stay.
They treat my dogs really good.. super nice and friendly
Very nice folks with a genuine interest in the care of your furry loved ones. I'll be visiting again.

We were nervous to board our 4 year old anxious dog for the first time but after seeing the reviews for Ruff Life we went to visit. The facility was wonderful and Kate was so nice I felt comfortable leaving our girl for a few nights. We received pictures of our dog while away and she looked SO happy! It made me feel so relieved to know she was having a blast and was getting some attention. She's now back with us and we can tell she had a great time. I totally recommend Kate and her team and we will plan on using Ruff Life from here on out. Thank you!
It was the first time I boarded my dog. I was extremely happy with the entire experience. First of all, the facility is amazingly beautiful and clean. Kate, the owner is exceptionally nice and accommodating. My Kaia loved her. I’ll definitely be taking her back next time we need to board her. 🩵
I am so grateful I stumbled upon Ruff Life. I have a pretty reactive border collie and I needed to find somewhere local last minute and Kate truly welcomed him/us with open and warm arms. She was so considerate and gave Mr. Finn a safe place to stay for the weekend and he did great. I can always tell if he was struggling or is anxious after being boarded, but after picking him up from here, he is actually at peace and I can tell he was so well taken care of😊 And on top of that the place was so clean and Kate was super organized! Definitely looking forward to future stays here. Thank you Kate!!
We need someone to watch Gibby for the weekend while we were off getting married. We usually rely on friends and family to hang out with him while we're out of town, but that's pretty difficult when your go to dog sitter is in the wedding party. I've known Kate personally for a while and remembered seeing that she opened Ruff life a little bit ago. We went online and saw that it was very reasonably priced, for 3 days it was only $90 and for an extra $20 they would give him a bath too. Anyone willing to give Gibby a bath for $20 is a win in my eyes. We could tell Gibby had such a great time. We'll definitely be coming back when we leave for our honeymoon
So pleased with this place. I had a last-minute need for a week's stay for my two rescue doggos. Kate was super responsive, kind and understanding. My dogs do not like to kennel, they sure seemed to be well cared for at pick up. She shared pictures while they were there and in a few she had my dogs giving her kisses. Made my heart smile. Thank you!
Kate is fantastic. This was the first time we've left our boys with someone others than family and Kate helped to calm our nerves. She's got great recommendations from the local vet community and she wears her love for dogs on her sleeves. The facilities were nice and clean and thought was given to the build, the rooms, private outdoor areas, and the play yards. Our dogs had a good time, were safe, and were treated like pets. We'll be back.
Absolutely beautiful place, super clean and very welcoming! Kate is so nice and will make boarding a positive experience for your pet. I was nervous to leave my old, very anxious guy for a week but he did so well here! Usually when we leave him behind he gets very upset, doesn’t eat or sleep well and is on edge when we get him back. I was pleasantly surprised to hear that he ate well, didn’t even need to take the anxiety meds we got from the vet “just in case” and he was our same old happy guy when we picked him up! Highly recommend using Ruff Life Pet Resort for boarding/daycare!!
Kate shows so much knowledge, love and care for our dog and all others. She really gets to know their personalities and knows who can be paired with which dog. Our dog LOVES "going to school" and is so happy to run in. In return, the next day he is exhausted from staying with her - so BONUS! The kennel is impeccably clean, well cared for, and I never have any worries when gone during a boarding weekend.
We switched here from a different facility that had just grown too big, too far away, and way too expensive and I'm so glad we did. Ruff Life has really nice kennels with the options for your pup to go both inside and out. The facility is so, so clean and the entryway feels like a home. They're out in a wooded area which means there are a ton of scents for your dog. Our pup came home and slept all afternoon which means he had a good time. We'll definitely use Ruff Life from now on.
Excellent place to board your pup. Kate is awesome, kennels are clean and nice. My normally kennel anxious dog had a blast and played the whole week. Looking forward to boarding with them again soon!

Little Angels is amazing! I would not send my dog anywhere else. Theresa goes above and beyond for the dogs. She loves them like they are her own. I felt super comfortable leaving Poppet with her for over 3 weeks while on vacation. Poppet had such a great time and was super spoiled and loved by her family. Poppet is even in love with her lab, Kylo! I cannot say enough about Theresa. She’s just AMAZING!
Little Angels is the best for our dog. This is NOT a typical kennel or boarding place. The dogs interact and play with the other dogs and family 24/7. Our 75lb Goldendoodle loves coming here. she gets to play with the big and not so big dogs! Photos and videos are sent to us, showing that all is well. I so much appreciate that we found this gem, and don't have to use a traditional boarding kennel.
Theresa loves my dogs!! I would recommend her for your fur babies!! Ollie and Maddie give it five paws!!
We love Little Angels! Our dog knows when we get close to Theresa's house for drop off and he starts whining with excitement. When we pick him up he always wants to stay and runs right back to the front door and tries to go back in the house! Theresa always sends regular updates and pictures of our dog during his stays. We are so happy to have found somewhere our dog has tons of fun and gets so much love and attention.
I have been bringing my dog Georgia Here for over three years. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. I feel very comfortable knowing that when I drop her off she is in good hands with people who treat her as they would treat their own pet. Thank you Little Angels Pet Resort for keeping Georgia safe and happy. Every time we turn the corner to get to your place Georgia get super excited!
Edit: because of the review below and giving only a 4 star review, we have been dismissed from this service. We are no longer welcome. I have adjusted my rating to 1 star because of the way this was handled. I do have the DM exchange should anyone want to review further. Rather than working harder to improve to a 5 star rating, we were simply kicked out. Did a meet and greet to see if my pupperoni would be a fit for daycare. A bit chaotic but dogs were all happy and playing. Plenty of kennels inside house for dogs that need a time out. Large fenced in play area. We will be back.
Little Angels is my little guys vacation spot! He loves going there! You will no doubt be able to leave for vacation or a long weekend and not worry at all about your little furry friend as they are having probably more fun than you!
Awesome experience for my dogs! They love the attention and the interaction. Roxy and Henri make 6 stars - Would definitely go there again!
My two dogs had a great time thank you so much
Would give 10 stars! Very accommodating and great with Jade! Great communication. Definitely will be using this place again in the future!

Rachel kept us up to date with texts, photos, and even a video of our boy running and playing. Leaving our pit made me nervous but Rachel did an amazing job with him. We left him for 7 nights total and in every update he seemed to be right at home. I can't recommend Kona's K9 Retreat enough! We will definitely return in the future!
This was the second time we left our boy with Kona's, and they showed us again why they're our first choice. Rachel kept us in the loop with regular updates and pictures, our pooch had an amazing time, and the price is very reasonable. I can't recommend Kona's highly enough.
Kona’s Retreat was the best! Our dog is like family to us and we hate leaving him due to his high anxiety but Rachel kept in contact with us daily via text and sent us pictures as well! They’d let him play in the fenced in yard and take him …
