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.

Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!!:)
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
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!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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, $16/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 place was rude and complained about they way my mother inlaws dog looked the minute I walked in for his appointment and would not groom him because he was on medicine for his anxiety
Wonderful! Our dogs love it here! I always know my fur babies will be safe and taken care of when I go out of town! And they groom too! We give it two paws up! 🐾 …
Cloe is so good with Ryder, I've never had a yorkiechon so I didn't know the cut I wanted her to have. Cloe has groomed her from the start. It took about 3/4 grooming sessions, and we got exactly what I wanted. Cloe is a good listener and very patient.
This place is amazing, friendly people, very clean. I actually job shadowed here when I was in school and it was a lot of fun. The dogs and cats the come in this place are super nice. I recommend going here if your pet(s) needs to be groomed or if your going on a trip and cant take the pet(s) with, they also have a boarding service. They will watch over your pet(s) while your away and it's not that pricey either.
We had never kenneled our dogs before and was worried about who knew how to handle our pit bull as they have a horrible stariotype. Although this is not what our pitty is like. She knew all about their anxiety and even got her nails trimmed while we were gone. We left them there again over the 4th of July and when we dropped them off they were so excited they didn't even say goodbye to us as we were leaving. 😂 Definitely recommend them!!
I called Golden Paws to make an appointment to have my dog's haircut. I'm sorry to say they didn't answer their phone. And when I tried to leave a message I couldn't it told me their mailbox was not setup. Which usually means they did not clear their mailbox. So apparently they don't need my business I went elsewhere
Absolutely wonderful. Have been taking our collies there for almost 15 years. Jennifer does a fantastic job. I wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
Freedom was happy there around other dogs. Ladies are so sweet Hope your mom is better... Large yard well fenced
Have been using them for over 20 years. They do excellent work and my dogs have loved going to them.
They have friendly people working there, its quiet, the fenced in area is big for your fur babies to run around, its a nice place.
Big hearted people. Cats supervise everything that goes on, and they seem to approve. Our corgis are happy to be there.
I took my dog here to be shaved as he had a matted coat and sticky rat traps all over his fur(he’s a bit dumb and thinks everything has to go on and in his mouth) and Charlotte Long REFUSED to shave him because she thinks it will ruin his coat and instead decided to cut chunks of his hair off all over his body. He now looks sick like he is losing his hair. Oh and CHARLOTTE LONG also charged me $80 to make my dog look stupid. I do NOT recommend this place for boarding or grooming. Very bad business
Don't know how they are with boarding, but I took my Golden Retriever to be groomed and they did a Terrible job. Shaved his belly and up his sides as if he was having surgery. Obviously had NO IDEA WHAT THEY WERE DOING! I was sick when I picked him up.
Our Anatolian Sheppard and Basset Hound were treated well. They do not overcrowd so its not very noisy. Cement run was nice and they have a large run , almost a small field the dogs can run in. Staff was excellent and I got the feeling they take the time to connect with the dogs. We will be back
Very professional. My pooch is happy, healthy and soft.
I took my elderly cat there to be euthanized, as she was failing rapidly. The staff and the doctor were remarkably compassionate, caring and patient all the way through a particularly painful and difficult visit. I would recommend this vet's office very highly, and will use them in the future for my other cat's veterinary needs.
Took my dog for treatment of cancer and she was giving excellent care. The price was a fraction of the estimate I was given from other clinics. I thought I was going to have to put her to sleep because I'm on disability and couldn't afford the 2500.00 I was quoted from other clinics. Thank you so much to the Dr and staff for saving my dogs life.
Wonderful place. My dogs are rowdy and not social, they treat them like the babies that they are to us. When we pull in to drop them off they pull on their chain to go in, they're so excited!
He is the best vet around he saved my dog foxy when no one else would even try. He helped us with our other 2 dogs and did what was best for both of them not what was gonna be the highest priced procedure in the end. Would recommend him to anyone.
We had an emergency with our little dog..no vet near us wanted to help her because we didn't have enough money for everything right then. We lost her. We then started looking for a vet who is really there for the animals..our little four legged kids. Fawn River was highly referred by a few of our friends. They were right. Next our big guy needed minor surgery..they took very good care of him. We are so thankful to the animal healers of this Clinic. Many Blessings to you all..may the spirit and purpose of your clinic continue..may Creator bless your families and clinic.
Please do not take your dogs here! I used Mary today for grooming for my almost year old Cavapoo puppy. They told me to drop her off at 9am I was there a little after 9. The door was locked and I knocked a couple of times no answers. I went out to my truck and called in twice and no answers but then I saw a girl walking past a couple of time and she looked out the window and saw me and never came to open the door. Finally I just stood there for 10-15 minutes knocking occasionally and she came to the door. She wasn’t kind at all when I came in. Mary the groomer finally came out and took my puppy she was very kind to her and loving towards her. I asked her to trim around her butt and also a little around her face. When my husband went to pick her up they shaved off her whiskers on her nose and trimmed it very short I asked the groomer when I dropped her off to clean her ears and when she got home her ears were full of ear wax and she broke out in a rash. She also shaved her belly which I’m unsure of why. When I called back to speak with someone about why they shaved her whiskers the lady who answered the phone wasn’t kind. She told me the groomer would call me back and she did. She told me dogs don’t need their whiskers she looked it up and to tell her next time if I don’t want her whiskers shaved off. It’s my fault I should have told her I didn’t want them shaved but the groomer I took her to before didn’t do this. I thought it was common knowledge not to shave a dogs whiskers. They need them for sensory. I would not recommend sending your babies to this place.
Excellent facility with dedicated space for small dogs. Our small dogs actually seemed reluctant to leave when we picked them up! Perhaps it was the Milkbone snacks the staff gave them😀 …
Our puppy drags us in whenever he goes to stay. He loves going to the kennel when we go on trips, which is all I need to know.
Back in May we left our boy Taizon with them our boy has been home with us and family his whole life so you can imagine we were nervous to leave him and be 2k plus miles away from him well we called and checked on him and he did great they understood our concerns and really kept us at ease while on vacation we highly recommend them and will be bringing him back 🐶♥️
These folks are fantastic! I live in another state and my mom had to have emergency surgery. They took 2 dogs on short notice and have made sure they have the proper food and care without even knowing how long they were going to need to stay! 10 stars in my book!
My parents always used them. So, when it came time to board my 2 Belguim Malinois, I went to them. My dogs were there for 12 days and they took such great care of my babies. I can not tell them how much I love their work and care for the dogs under their care. I will be making sure to keep using them.
This place by far is the best animal boarding hands down. Very courteous helping in reassuring owners excellent care. We were so nervous about having to board our loving dog. However, the staff is so kind and gentle and after pick up he was so happy actually turned around and thought he was going to stay again. Don't punish your pet, let them stay at this five star hotel with low rates.
We take our three corgis there for grooming. They do a fabulous job! We have one problem during child that Acts like a fish out water. They treat her with kindness and just get the job done!
My two dogs came home with kennel cough. One dog with diarrhea and a rash too. I haven't had any problems with this kennel in the past. Pretty disappointed, when I called them to let them know, they were fully aware it's been a problem for sometime now. My vet said the last 8 months, they've seen cases from this kennel. They offered to reimburse the cost of the medicine but all I want is for them to shut down a couple of days and do a thorough cleaning/disinfectant. So other dogs don't have to go through this..
It was my first time ever boarding my dogs and I was a bit nervous, however the friendly and professional atmosphere gave me confidence in them which put me at ease. It was very easy to schedule, drop off, and pick up. The cost was very reasonable. We enjoyed our long weekend knowing they were in good hands. I had them both bathed, cut, and nails while they were there and they came home clean and happy. I definitely recommend using them and will have them watch my boys in the future.
First time we've used Camp Ravenwood Kennels and we are impressed so far. Friendly, helpful, caring employees who took an active interest in both our dog and us. Nice, clean facility with fair pricing, especially like that the option for the one on one time is available for our pet. Glad we made this choice!
The staff is very friendly and enthusiastic. They truly enjoy what they do. Our dog goes in without hesitation. Glad we found this spot.
Excellent dog boarding! Our dog is very shy and loves this place. They have fenced-in yards where they take each individual dog out with a staff member to play with them so dogs don't fight or get hurt. You pay extra for that, but that's good since you can choose how often you want play time during boarding or not at all and are only pay for what you want. The staff are very friendly and kind. I highly recommend them.
We have taken our dog here twice now and I couldn’t be more pleased! The staff are all incredible, they take such good care of the animals! Our dog has terrible anxiety and I always worry when we leave him at a kennel but he came home so happy! We opted in for 2 play times a day which is such a great opportunity for your dog to have personal 1 on 1 time with someone! Absolutely love this place!
I have used Camp Ravenwood Kennels for over 30 years with three separate dogs. Peanuts was first, Kyna second and our latest Kerry. They go above and beyond the call of duty when taking care of our pets. Kind, helpful and informative. Wouldn't think of taking our fur baby anywhere else. Thanks Camp Ravenwood! You're the best.
Great kennel for boarding dogs or cats. Even birds and a pig or two! Great employees who love your pet as much as you do!
It was so easy to work with Camp Ravenwood and more affordable than I was expecting. We rarely kennel our dogs, but with the ease of scheduling and affordability, we will be back for sure
The location is very convenient with adequate parking. The staff are very friendly and helped my anxious dogs settle in right away. They were willing to accommodate a variable pick up schedule and offered to board the dogs together or apart but adjacent. I boarded the dogs twice about a month and a half apart, and there was no hesitation on the dogs part when going in the second time, which to me meant they were happy there. They came home clean, and happy with no weight loss or any sign of issues. I will definitely board the dogs there again.
We have been taking our dogs there for years. Several dogs ago, at a different facility, we went to drop our dog off while we needed to go out of town for a business trip. She didn't want to leave Mom...'take me with you'...'I'll be a good puppy'...etc. Something came up and we needed to change kennels, so we went here, to Camp Ravenwood. We get there to check her in...the young lady comes to take her to her area and...she didn't even turn around and say 'goodbye'. She was so relaxed and happy that she didn't even notice that Mom and Dad were gone. I can't think of a better validation than that.
Today was our 1st day of daycare. All three of my canine kids were excited to go. 837am and the office was spotless and smelled nice. Employees were all smiles and very helpful ! Great attitudes for an early Monday morning and everything went great for drop-off. You know how you can judge a place and people by how your dogs react, well My three picky dogs didn't hesitate for a second. No nervousness at all! Just good vibes!! I got to enjoy my whole workday and even ran errands after work then picked up at 557pm and wow was I super impressed ! All three dogs were still happy and clean smelling and full of relaxed confident energy we got out to the car and they were falling asleep before we got to the end of the road! A quiet and relaxing drive home for the first time in ages! Prices literally can Not be matched anywhere in this area. Best price and best service! Reputation does preceed them! (i asked around and heard Only Positive praises! ) Hands down the best kennel/daycare I've found in Kalamazoo county! Camp Ravenwood was highly recommend by our vets office and friends. I am so glad we found you! A+ you guys!!!😍🐶❤
