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
There are not enough words in the English language to express my deepest gratitude to Teresa and all the amazing love and care she showed my sweet cat Milo. From the moment she met Milo, I knew there was going to be a very special bond. He instantly relaxed when he first met and already looked so happy and at peace with her. The bond between the two of them only seemed to get stronger and stronger with every day that I was away. This two-week trip was so important for me as it was the first real "vacation" I had taken in a few years. I was in desperate need of a mental and physical break and knew that in order to have a true "time off', I needed to feel completely at peace with Milo being well-taken care of. Well my prayers were answered as Teresa was the "cat whisperer" I was hoping for. I could not have asked for a better, more compassionate, self-reliant, and intuitive sitter ! Teresa was also so diligent in sending me her daily picture and video updates of my cat. With every picture and video I saw, I knew that Milo was so happy being with her and I never worried for one minute while I was away. What a gift ! Teresa was also a serious life-saver for me as literally an hour before I was leaving for my trip, I found out my cat's tracker app was not working and after a few emails and phone calls, we found out the tracker's server was down. Teresa took the initiative to follow up with getting the tracker to work again which was a HUGE stress-relief for me . She is not only wonderfully savvy with animals but also with technology as well ! I feel so fortunate to have Teresa in my life now, not only as an amazing sitter for Milo but also as a wonderful friend for life! Thank you, Teresa for everything.... Milo and I so appreciate you .....
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Florence was a great sitter for my cat Lily. I booked her a bit last minute, as a previous sitter had to cancel, but was very happy to have her. She was reliable, prompt to respond, and sent picture updates daily at my request. Judging by the pics, Lily warmed up to her nicely and they spent some lounging time together - which is high praise from a cat! Would recommend Florence for your next sit.
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!
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, $19/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!
Tammy is great, Perri LOVES her!
Friendly caring people
Fantastic place to board your dog! We have had Belgian Malinois’ for years. They’re high energy, highly intelligent dogs that don’t typically do well at boarding facilities. Cupps Kennels is one of only two boarding kennels that I’ve found that our Mal did well at while boarding. They take fantastic care of the dogs in their kennels, and are very well educated on various breeds’ needs. Highly recommend them!
my parents had a bit of nightmare situation when picking up our dogs from cupps’ this last monday. one of our three doggies had a horribly infected deep cut on her foot. when we asked why they hadn’t taken her to the vet, or at the very least informed us of her injury, they claimed that they feared a weekend vet visit would be too costly. our sweet senior doggy JD ended up needing several stitches and treatment for an infection that the vets told us was caused by her untreated wound and could possibly result in her losing part of her leg. thankfully our senior pup is a strong lady that will hopefully make a full recovery without surgery, but we felt it was necessary to share how disappointed and dismayed with our experience at cupps’. unfortunately we will not be returning and our advice to anyone who decides to use their service would be to ensure they will contact you immediately if your pet gets injured or sick. attaching one pic of her paw after our vet visit and the other two from over christmas to show what a cute sweetie she is, who deserved better more adequate care.
It's either a trip to Cupp's or Grandma's house. I wouldn't trust my babies with anyone else. :) Clean kennels, outdoor play area, wonderful people. I would stay there myself! Here's our two excited to go to "doggy daycare."
My dog Chloe was very happy at Cupp's. The facilities are clean and the Cupp family really cares about the pets in their care. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I was very impressed with the stalls all of the dogs were staying in as they were extremely clean and has everything necessary! I may have done something wrong, however I did not see any human when I went to pick my dog up, nor did I get a report or feedback regarding his behavior/if he was able to go out with other dogs. This concerned me as I was a first timer and I would have appreciated more feedback regarding my dogs stay.
So happy to have found this place! My two pointers LOVE it there! Spacious, clean, and the pups were so happy when I picked them up! Also was able to call for an update to see how they were doing, which I appreciate being able to do! Will use again-
Great facilities and grounds with very caring people that communicate well. We'll be back!
We LOVE this kennel for our dogs!! They treat each dog as if it was their own. Very thankful to have such a loving place for our dogs to stay. Thank you, Cupps'!!
my pup rowan couldnt have been happier while he was there. very sweet and humble people we will sure go back!
Cupps Dog Boarding Is Awesome! They Are Great With All Of The Dogs! Very Nice As Well And Easy To Work With.
Our girls just came home from getting groomed and the owner did an exceptional job. We are so pleased with their cuts and will definitely schedule again, when we are here next summer. Thank you very much.
We have been taking our bear to wags and purrs since he was a puppy… 4 years now and he is always happy when he has a fresh haircut! The owner treats him well, gets us in everytime and her work is amazing! Highly recommended groomers!
I took my Golden Doodle in for a much needed haircut. I was very impressed with their job on her. She looked totally different but happy. We will take her back when she is ready for her next trim. Thank you very much.
Sometimes you I'll get a recording when you call. I just drove over with my pups for a last minute nail trim when I had time off and was able to walk in on a Tuesday. They will also schedule nail trims on Saturday. Very nice folks.
They took great care of my baby and made him presentable again. They’ll definitely be my go-to for dog grooming and boarding.
It was my puppy's first grooming and they did a fantastic job! Reasonably priced too. Will go back.
This was the first time we boarded a pet. Affordable, clean, and friendly. Definitely can recommend them.
My experience is always excellent. Always try to work you in if possible. My dog Sasha is never afraid to go, they are so gentle with her. She is a tea cup Yorkie with a bad hip. I live in Alpena and drive to Petoskey to have her groomed and they are worth the drive to take her there.
We can't thank them enough for always taking great care of our dog's (and of course, us). We get our dog's hair and nails trimmed and they come out looking great everytime. Always on time, always great service and would highly recommend.
I looked at a lot of reviews, but wags and purrs had the best reviews. My pooches looked and I'm sure felt better. I told her about the special needs of my elder pups. She took great care and my pups are very happy now. Thank you so much. I definitely will be back.
This place is amazing! Awesome staff, unique setup for drop off / pick up, very clean and my dog comes home happy every time!! Highly recommend.
I had gone to the Mancelona area on vacation, and brought my dog Polly with me. It had only taken a few to realize how much of the stuff I wanted to do, just couldn't be done with her in tow. So, I took a day, and put her in the daycare. This place was amazing. I was shocked at how clean everything was, and how hard the owner worked at keeping everything perfect. I picked up Polly in the evening and she seemed to be both happy and worn out, as I'm certain she was doing much running and being a dog. I'd give this place a perfect rating on the Rikki Recommends scale... So if you're looking to have a bit of vacation to yourself, or you just need a break from Fido... Check this place out.
We have to go out of town around the holidays, so we wanted to start our pup off with a few doggy daycare visits to get him used to the facility. Communication was wonderful, prices were accommodating and the facility was clean and welcoming. They posted photos of our guy having fun and made sure we had all the information we needed for a safe stay.
Julie & Megan were absolutely amazing. We took a trip out west for 2 weeks and boarded our 2 dogs for the first time ever. Naturally, we were anxious to leave them for so long, but Julie was incredibly communicative and accommodating. Our boys were safe and happy and well taken care of, I could not have asked for a better home away from home for our fur children. HIGHLY recommend Meadow Pond....they are fantastic!
We love Meadowpond. Our dog Duke can be a pretty big baby when it comes to being boarded, but they take great care of him, and his kennel is always very clean and tidy. The security is awesome too! We appreciate the peace of mine knowing he’s in a great place!
Very clean with kind, helpful staff. I took my Newfoundland for a Day Care stay. I think I was more stressed than she was! I will definitely be using them again for any dog care needs I may have in the future. The 24/7 check in and out is wonderful, too!
My dog loves it here! We have absolutely trust in them to care for our girl. Thank You! She's so worn out when she comes home : D
My dog stayed all day. She was supposed to be overnight but we got back at 11pm so picked her up. I never saw the owner or assistants. It was clean and pretty, like nice little hotel rooms. Not sure what care they get on longer stays but my dog seemed fine.. had water and food. I would use for short a night or two for sure
Have been here multiple times from needing dog grooming to a hotel stay for the pooch! The staff is very kind to everyone and the love they have for pets show! Someone is usually around at all hours and always a phone call away!! They have allowed me to take my other dogs to the playground on site while finishing the grooming on the other pup. I highly recommend them, prices are set with the area and times in mind and I find them more than fair. Will continue to use their services!!! Great Job Meadow Pond Resort Staff!
Took our dog here for an overnight. The system they have set up for drop off and pick up is awesome. The place is clean. Only thing I was concerned about was that they left the doggie door open all the time, so the dogs may get cold throughout the day in the winter. Next time, I’ll put a coat on him and maybe bring a crate and wrap it with a blanket for that purpose. My dog was really hoarse/no voice when I picked him up which made me feel like he never stopped barking. To be fair, my dog barks a lot, especially when in an unfamiliar place. So that was probably not due to any shortcomings of this place but I wondered how many times he was able to interact with humans while he was there. It seems very professional, very very clean. Fair prices. They were available on a holiday (Easter) weekend, last minute. Will definitely come again. I do hope that I get to meet the owners/staff next time, as I wasn’t able to this time, but I was able to chat with one on the phone who seemed awesome.
Interesting. I've never met Emma Doyle
Pawskey's has been wonderful! Both MD and PB have a gift for animals. Their love for our pups has really made a difference in our lives. We have a 9 year old cairn terrier/poodle which we have had for years and a 4 month pointer mix puppy that we recently adopted from the humane society. Our cairn terrier/poodle loves his parents. Although he is small, he isn't afraid of anything he sees as a threat to his family. Because of this, he barks at just about anything that passes by our house! With Pawskey's training his barking and anxiety has reduced incredibly. Also, our little one has also gone through basic training and they watched both our pups while we were moving. Lots of thanks to these guys!
Pawskey's pet serves is great! They took excellent care of my dog Perri an Aussie mix, while I was out of town. MD was very attentive in listening to my personal instructions about her care thus allowing me a worry free weekend away. Coming home to a happy, well cared for dog is priceless. I highly recommend MD and PB. They have a gentle energy that both dogs and people find comforting.
Pawskeys helped us raise our very active Bernese puppy. I'm not sure what we would have done without their service. MD & PB are not only reliable, but beautiful people. We have remained friends & I would highly recommend their sevice.
i couldnt call you, you number is incorrect. or a website. do you still exist? i very much would still like to use your services when i drive through. i would be delighted to actually review you. if i could find you.
Great dog trainer. Highly recommend
Beau has stayed at Bokhara many times and they are wonderful with him. He’s always well cared for and happy. He started going at 7 months and they were so sweet and good with him. I highly recommend and I won’t use anywhere else!
We had our dog recently banned from Bokhara for, what I feel, is the fault of their new groomer. We’ve had our dog groomed there by Ellen for six years and never had an issue. Ellen retired and the groomer they have now has been out of the business for a while or something, but whatever she did made my dog anxious and he attacked. NEVER had that issue with Ellen. So, they said he’s welcome to board there? Sorry, too many finer establishments in the area. Stay away. (I can’t post without a 1-star rating, but I wouldn’t even give them that.)
Our pup had an amazing stay at Bokhara! We loved that she was greeted the moment we walked in, they were waiting for her! Erika made us feel so warm and welcome. After checking Ellie for temperament, we were shown Ellie's "room" and were able to set her up and get her comfortable. We were able to see much of the facility, and all our questions were answered. Ellie got walks every day and we were even invited to take her to the lake when we picked her up. Ellie showed us right where to go. She was so comfortable there and looked really happy and content when we picked her up. I called once to check on her and all my questions were answered and I was told Ellie was eating well and visiting. I'm so pleased with Bokhara and look forward when we can visit again!
Excellent kennel. Just pulling in the driveway you will realize that your dog will have their own resort while up north. The pine trees along the drive way will have dog name crossings, and once you pull up you will find a friendly staff ready to give your dog attention that you will feel comfortable with. There are a list of options to pamper your dog including access to Elk Lake for a swim, or even check out your pet by boat while on Elk, or the other Chain of Lakes. Our dog is a medium to small dog and had made friends with the other dogs while there. Be sure to have your pets vet records ready. Will have our dog stay there again the next time we are in the area! Rates cheaper than hotel dog rates.
Took my cats there for a week got them back covered in feces, and we're obviously traumatized, I would never take my pet to this place again
Thank you Erika so much for taking such good care of George and Charlie!! We really appreciate the excellent care and spa treatment you provided. Georgie has never been so clean and fresh! Even Charlie was happy to visit you!! We'll be back again for sure!! Thanks soooo much!!
Fantastic cat boarding service. Boarded my kitty here for several weeks and it was a great experience. All staff including the owner are extremely kind people.
We've been boarding our Rhodesian Ridgeback here for about 4 years and have had nothing but good experiences. Staff are really friendly and I like the grooming options as well as the additional play time/walk options.
Our gsd puppy went for her first grooming with her sister. The staff was super accommodating in letting them stay togather. They came back looking and smelling great.
Nice drive. Nicest lady ever!!! My dog is just beautiful!! I Found my new groomer.
Thank you, John & Elaine. You’re the best!
