Dog Sitters in Athens, MI

Our dog just loves to go to day care, and spends the night sometimes. The owner is very nice and helpful!

This is the only place I trust my fur babies to stay at. Christy and her team take such good care of the dogs. I feel as if they treat my dogs like they were their own. I like that it is a smaller, family owned kennel. You can just tell they have a passion and really care about the animals well-being.

I can only talk about boarding over night as we haven’t taken Trooper there for play care. They are fantastic! Their facilities are very nice, well maintained and supervised. Lots of play time for the dogs. Trooper loves going so I think that kind of says it all. Highly recommend Waggin Tails

Snoop 100 percent loved wagging tails and so did we 6 stars for my review ❤️🐕‍🦺 …

Waggin Tails Retreat is amazing! We are camping nearby and wanted to take the kids to the zoo for the day, so we wanted to leave our dog somewhere! He was there for only a few hours but you could tell he loved it! I definitely recommend Waggin Tails! Thank you!!!

Waggin’ Tails is simply amazing, my dog Duncan loves to go there. In fact he hates to leave when I pick him up. Simple the best place in Battle Creek.

I have left my girls here 2 times and my dogs have always been taken well care of. The owner even took the time to show me a few tricks on leash training. I am booking my dogs for 2 more stays this year. It's nice to go on vacation and know that my dogs are in good hands!

We’ve been bringing our dog her for a while now. We are very satisfied with the care she receives. Staff is friendly.

ABSOLUTELY Unprofessional! Was literally in tears over how rude the owner was to our family, upon arrival. She was dismissive, uncaring, and made us feel very uncomfortable!! The owner did not want to show us where our dogs would be housed during their visit. Decided to NOT LEAVE OUR PETS THERE!!! Would NEVER leave our fur babies there!

Next best place to home. Love the way our boys are loved when they are they. They are safe, well cared for and always happy to be dropped off and picked up. She goes above and beyond, highly recommended.

Our fur babies home away from home! Christin is such a wonderful trainer, her pawsitivity course is great and sets everyone up for success! Their boarding isn’t just drop and kennel, they give your dogs a stay vacation.

We have been taking our puppy Oreo to comfy critters since we brought her home. She is over a year old now and Christin's training is the very best. Any dog that she meets will be learning within minutes. Oreo has been to her puppy kindergarten class learning how to interact with other dogs and not be so influenced by out side distractions. Even the very basics seemed so easy for her to learn. Her positive reinforcement training make her so much more calm even though she is still going through her puppy age. She is learning to be a service dog for my wife and seems to be much more receptive and listening to her instructions. I would recommend anyone looking for training or boarding check out comfy critters pet services. We have boarded both Oreo and my daughters dog any there several times the kennels are the very best. Always clean and each dog has personal interaction and the best care. there are several outside activity areas the indoor areas are heated and air conditioned every pet there receives this very professional care

Comfy critters is the only place we will take our dogs for training. Christin is so patient with both the animals and handlers and is always willing to help and guide you in person, through phone call or messages. She does such an amazing job on educating you on the signs your dogs are giving, and what behaviors are being reflected. We can’t say enough about how amazing everyone is. You always feel welcomed and encouraged by everyone involved.

I think our dogs loved boarding here! I was a bit nervous since they’re older and this was their first boarding experience. But it was like a vacation for them ! I loved following along & seeing their experiences shared on Facebook. 🐶 Gave me great piece of mind to see them having so much fun. Thank you Comfy Critters team!! …

Ashley did my chocolate labrador, and my German Shepherd. My Shepherd is high energy, and not a fan of having her nails done. Also, she sheds like any other GSD. Both dogs came back happy and calm. Their coats were shiny and smelled wonderful, but only if I got close and sniffed. I love that the smell was light. Nails are perfect, and, unlike some other groomers, she did NOT cut the quik on ANY of their nails. My GSD had no loose hairs. She hasn't been shedding, so I know she got a very thorough brush out. Highly recommended!!!

As my daughter watched her whole life and my grandchildren’s lives, go up in flames! She ran head first into their burning home to try and save the two members of their family, who were still trapped inside! When I was able to get to her home, it was evident that their dog named D.O.G. Who was approaching almost twenty years old, was not doing well at all! The newest member, an Irish Setter named Loki was also showing signs of smoke inhalation and coughing a ton! As I called to try to get ANY Vet in town or the surrounding area, to look at and treat these animals, as my daughter was trying to deal with the over whelming feelings of loss! I soon found that unless you have $3000 in your pocket! You can not get emergency help for your “pet.” They are family to most people who have one! The next day as the one and only emergency vet in the southwest area, announced they would need another grand to keep the one dog another day! Unfortunately my daughter lost the eldest dog! I started calling around for alternatives. Christine Benoit ended up being a god send! Not only does she have some of the best boarding kennels I have seen! But the animals she takes on, all seem to be so happy and show their joy and instant connection with Chrissy! The animals seen to instinctively be drawn to her! Not only did Loki start learning from her almost the minute we arrived. But due to her trainings and certifications. She also had the necessary skills to know that Loki still had something wrong that the emergency vet did not even seem to treat! Due to his long hair, the family had not seen that he had actually suffered a burn on one of his hind quarters and the worthless vet had not even given it basic treatment! But due to Chrissy and her training, she again saved my family from ensuring another loss!

Had the best experience with our fur baby’s! It’s a full blown dog resort!!

Amazing dog care.

This daycare has been a huge help for us. Our girl loves going on her days and is literally yipping with excitement when we turn in, then forgets about me and runs in when they answer the door. She comes back happy and tired from playing with her friends all day. They all are always so friendly and polite. Can’t thank them enough.

Shannon and the crew at Wiggles, Waggles, and Tails are amazing!!!!! Our dog, Stabler gets so excited to go and play with his friends. He has separation anxiety, but not there! He runs in the door and can’t wait to play with his friends. The staff take such great care of him, and it puts our minds at ease. We love Wiggles, Waggles, and Tails!! Best doggie daycare in town!!!!

I love this place and so do my puppies, Paisley & Patton. They get so excited when we pull into the parking lot in the morning, they can hardly contain themselves. They have so many doggie friends and the staff is always sending me the sweetest pictures of my babies. I can't say enough about the owner and her staff, I just love them. I know that when I drop them off, they are well cared for, loved, and most of all, having a fun-filled and happy day. So grateful to have them so close by as well. I highly recommend them to everyone!

Shannon and her staff are wonderful. They were very accommodating when I had to find daycare really fast after taking in a deceased family member's dog. Elvis is elderly and does not appreciate other dogs getting in his face. They went above and beyond to accommodate his needs and make sure he is happy when he is there. They are always super nice to Elvis. He has very bad separation anxiety, but he comes home from WWT happy as a clam. He does not have any drooling incidents while there either. Thank you Shannon and your staff for everything you do for Elvis.

I really do wish Google had a way to verify information prior to allowing just anyone to leave a review that directly affects a small business that works their hearts out to provide the best care possible. Primarily leaving this to respond to the 1 star review that wished she could leave a zero. Your review was not based on facts unfortunately, First, the date you boarded with WW&T was June of 2021 (not 2022), seems odd to me that this is just now coming up over 2 years after your experience? Second, In the records Camden was the name of the Yorkshire terrier you put on your paperwork (not Murphy). Third, Your call today was answered and when staff tried everything they could to answer your questions but could not due to you talking over the nice young man who answered the phone. Fourth, you commented that Camden’s bed was full of shards of particle board, WW&T doesn’t have particle board or anything similar that would leave shards of wood products in the bedding. The Owner would never under any circumstances place your belongings outside the door and refuse to speak with you or any of WW&T’s customers she values so much. When you called You refused to speak with the owner who sincerely wanted to address your concerns herself but couldn’t due to your request not to speak with her so she worked by the young man’s side to get information on your previous visit. The owner has in the past spent countless hours and many thousands of dollars on the WW&T family of four legged babies who attend daycare or board with us and has never asked for a penny of reimbursement outside the agreed upon rate. Some might say that’s the cost of doing business and that’s fine but it truly is more than just that. Inaccurate Reviews like this make her question if she has made the right decision to chase her dream of spending 60-70hrs a week with all the dogs she loves. There is no question in my mind or many of her loyal customers that she gives everything she has to her customers and we will encourage her to continue with her dream of serving the community she grew up in and cares for deeply, Thank you.

They are wonderful! Always super polite and take great care of our bulldog Louis. He always comes back happy. He has a great time there. Thanks sooo much for taking care of our boy.

We have had a good experience. My dog does not eat while there that well, but it’s because they just miss us and do this even while being watched by friends. Dogs get stressed any time they are away from their owners so take that into consideration when looking at the negative reviews. My dogs eat socks and toys so I am glad they are crated and safe when we are away. This time they came home smelling clean which was. A surprise 😂 they usually are muddy from playing

I Highly recommend this place. The Staff are amazing and very helpful and kind people. They took really good care of my Dog for me and made her very happy. If I could give them a 10 🌟 rating I would. Very accommodating definitely bringing Bella back here. …

Just a Godsend! Lovely staff and our dog is always happy to be dropped off. I don't know what we'd do without them.

What a great way for the girls to spend the day with friends. This is all they can do when they get home. Shannon, Anna, and Lauren are awesome
