Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
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.

Jordan & Nataki
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
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!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
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
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 & Thomas
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
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!

Courtenay
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
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 & Susan
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.

It was my first time using zeewoi so I was slightly apprehensive, but as soon as I heard from Kendra I knew both my cat and my apartment would be in safe hands. Kendra was great with communicating and coming back quickly, very friendly and clearly experienced with sitter jobs. Whilst staying at my place she sent me regular updates. Once I returned home the flat was spotless. I would highly recommend Kendra and I would certainly use her again. She’s great!
Adrienne
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!

Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
Laney
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Tiffany
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Sunny
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Alison
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Bridget
Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!
Claire
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again 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!
Dog grooming was such a disappointment. No prices posts anywhere because ‘every dog is different’. There should be some kind of price list (price range) for dog sizes. I understand that ‘every dog is different’ but you don’t go to a human spa blind without knowing a price range (unless you are independently wealthy). I paid $140 dollars for a 2 hour job and my dog’s fur is much too short. He is a good natured dog with some matting. Not a $140 job by any means. I will never go back there again.
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!
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.
Very friendly and caring place, that does their best to make your dog happy.
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

Took my baby Luna to them today! She was very scared as this was her first appointment to be groomed ever! She’s a sheepdoodle and her hair gets unmanageable quick and she was so scared of clippers I had to try a groomer… they did such an amazing job with her she came out happy, beautiful, and more confident!! I know the next time will be even better!! The prices are very reasonable and I’m so thankful! Your services are so appreciated!! Thank you so so much pet boutique!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
They do an awesome job at grooming my Labradoodle! Get prices and wonderful hardworking people!
Excellent work. We brought in a disaster of a floof, not only that he is massive. Per boutique did a phenomenal job cleaning him up and trimming him down.
These ladies are great to work with. Lydia and Katie are groomers and Elizabeth baths as well as some other bathers. All have been so welcoming of me and my clients as a groomer.
Cookie my Munchkin cat 😺 can be very finicky getting her nails trimmed. Katie and the entire staff, ALWAYS, do Excellent work. Hats off to The Pet Boutique!! Well worth the drive within 30 to 50 Miles! …
Katie does a great job on our 2 Pomeranian/ Chinese Crested! This was their first appointment since Debbie left. She is very friendly and even my nervous little Zoey seemed to take right to her. Very happy to have her as our new groomer. Prices are fair. Highly recommend!
I had my 2 long coat GSDs groomed with the request to focus on brushing and de-shedding. When I picked them up, they had more loose hair than before we went. I've been grooming my dogs for years and have never had so much loose, fly away hair that is EVERYWHERE! One dog still had matted hair on his stomach. Never again. matted hair hair on his stomach.
Had my big pups nails trimmed they did a great job! Thanks again. I will definitely be back.
The location in Florida in lake Pannasoffkee is fabulous!! DEB knows how to groom properly for type. Min schnauzers are my dogs...no shedding and she clips them perfectly!! Very pleased

The Familiar Dog grooming performs Excellent work, and at a fair, good price. Liz takes care of our 2 wooly husky's. Our boy Copper's fur is so thick, yet each time she grooms him, she is able to brush his coat so well, and he shines like a new puppy. Our girl, Sophie, doesn't have as thick of her fur, but she has her tender spots. Both dogs love going in each time, and for as hairy as they are, I am amazed how fast and how well they look. I'm glad to have found Familiar Dog, and grateful that we are able to schedule regular appointments.
My dogs love the treatment they get. It is their spa. They feel loved here.
Liz did an awesome job with Mr. Beans! He's pretty shy and he seemed to like her. Totally recommend her and will be going back. Thanks Liz!
Liz did an amazing job with my Lhasa apso, he’s a nippy guy and she managed to get his haircut and to cut it very good, my little man is very handsome now thanks to her! She’s very professional and the house she does the grooming in is very nice, and I believe the dogs feel more comfortable going there since it is in a home! Overall great experience for great price! Will continue to go here, even after I move back home from school!
Amazing work! Our golden has never looked so good! We are almost a week out from grooming and he still smells great! We are incredibly satisfied with how professional, friendly, and caring The Familiar Dog was!
Loved when Stacy did our grooming. Booked with her but she called in. New groomer left a few scabs on buggy from cutting too close and the trim of face and tail was bizarre. Not what we wanted.
Very kind and professional. STRONGLY recommend! My dog is hyper and they worked really well with her. Gave me recommendations for care also. Very satisfied!
Such friendly service and she did SUCH a great job grooming my pup! He’s never been softer and never smelt better. I would 500% recommend this place!
Liz does a great job getting our dogs in when needed. She’s very accommodating and courteous. Her prices are very reasonable too.
Terrible customer service. Liz was extremely rude and unprofessional on the phone when inquiring about pricing for dog grooming. Luckily I was able to find another groomer in the area that was able to answer my questions without attitude
