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.

Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶
This is our second time with Jamie and she’s really a great sitter for our dogs . She’s a trusted person, smart. You can leave her your house and pets. Can’t wait to have Jaimie back next summer
Annabella was a fantastic, trustworthy dog sitter for our three pups. She was very responsible and did everything we asked of her and communicated well.
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!!

I love this place. My favorite part is that they divide the dogs by temperment for play time. I can't stress how important this is. When theres 50 dogs in a room, my dog gets nuts. This place is so much better. I used them for boarding, too. She came home stinky, i shouldve gotten the groom. However, the groomer was able to trim her nails, which no one has been able to do. I was recoended this place by someone in the pet sitting industry. Its the only place she would board her pets!
Great for playtime but if your dog suffers from anxiety and has issues being in small enclosures this may not suit them. I had boarded two huskies one age 4 who did great and the other one is 17 Who did not do well in the size of the kennel. They really are to small for bigger breeds. She Did great in group play though. The workers did what they could and listened to my concerns after calling to check in on her. I love the report cards and the groomer did a fantastic job with my girls. One who was blowing her coat so bad, it was coming out in chunks! Needless to say she looked and smelled like a brand new girl and they gave them bandanas as well. The only reason they did not get 5 stars, is because of the size of kennel, and all the extra charges for medications and group play in which are NOT included in the boarding price. Just an FYI They also want to charge you if you bring your own food. Which to me does not seem fair as I’ve used other boarding facilities and have never been charged for that. Not a bad place to board just not the greatest experience for one of mine. Which is no fault of the facility. I absolutely Loved being able to check in on my girls with the cameras.
I have nothing but great things to say about this place! Zero (our 9 month old American Bully) absolutely loves going to daycare & boarding. He has been very well taken care of when we’ve boarded him. The establishment is always very well kept up, clean, attention to detail has been great, and if there’s ever been any kind of issue or question we’ve been immediately called!! The staff is extremely kind, loving, & friendly to him and us! it’s such a comfort to be able to check on our boy throughout the day when he’s at daycare or boarding and also to make sure he’s getting his exercise and staying out of trouble. If you have any reservations about not coming to have them look after your pup, DON’T because we’ve had nothing but great experiences since we started attending 6 months ago.
In a sea of endless pet boarding locations AAPR is my absolute favorite. Great staff, clean location, fair prices, and fantastic experience for pet parents with extended drop off and pick up times. The pre boarding meet and greet/trial was by far the easiest here. The last place we used required us to board our dog at cost for a day as the trial.
My big boy Dexter loves coming here. The entire staff is so amazing. Jacqueline, Angelina and the rest of the staff are the best. They took the best pictures of Dexter and are so accommodating. I so recommend this place. A wonderful experience by a staff who care. Dexter and I appreciate everything. Thanks..
We needed a place to board our dog while we travelled. Friendly, patience staff. I like the fact that you can watch your dog via camera (even though we didn't pick that option) We will definitely use this company in the future.
We needed to board our 16 yr. old Labradoodle for 7 days and were very concerned about how he would handle being away from us. We decided to keep him at All American because they have 24 hour staffing. The facility and staff are wonderful! We enjoyed our trip because we knew he was in great hands and we could check in on him anytime via the 24 hour cameras. They took care of his medication and they brought him to the lobby as the 'reception dog' during the day :) I recommend All American Pet Resorts Lakeshore for any age dog, but especially for our seniors who may require special TLC!
I have been taking my dogs to All American Pet Resorts Lakeshore for years 🐶 🐶 Their staff is very knowledgeable, friendly, professional and it’s clear they love our dogs! The resort itself is super clean and smells clean. It is also beautiful and well maintained. They have staff there 24 hours a day and their overnight people even walk all the dogs in the middle of the night! That gives me peace of mind I can’t find anywhere else 😍 Each dog gets its own spacious suite with comfy bedding options and lots of playtime. They have live streaming cameras so I can watch my dogs play and while they’re in their suite. None of the other places in the area come even close to the quality of care and value! We won’t take our dogs anywhere else!
I being my puppy here every day and the staff is always very friendly and the place is so clean. My puppy wakes up every morning anxious to come! Recommend it to anyone reading. They even take pictures of our dogs for us!
Hands down the best place for daycare/boarding. The staff is very friendly, the facility is always clean, and prices are fair.Whst more can I say.😁 …
The best place to board your dog!! Our dog Charlie does not like a lot of people besides his Family but he seems to love everyone at Shores Kennel!! We can't thank you enough for taking such great care of him!! You guys are awesome!
100% Satisfied!!! For Starters, ANY RESERVATIONS YOU MAY HAVE, DON'T WORRY! We had never boarded our pups before, so the worrying was there. Meeting the owner Donna, it went right away! Her professionalism, caring, and compassionate manner towards animals provided comfort in our decision. Our Husky is Deaf, not able to go to just any boarding facility. Donna and her Crew were able to cater to not only his needs but our big goofy Dane, Odin as well! The process was easy during dropoff and pickup. We picked our fur babies up freshly bathed. They must've had an amazing time , because they slept the day away! Shores Kennel is now our GO-TO, as we will be using them for the future INDEFINITELY! We cannot thankyou enough for taking such good care of our Kiddos!
Went on a trip this week & we took our fur baby to Shores Kennels. He had such an amazing time, definitely will be back when we go on vacation again! Everyone that helped us & our dog was so sweet & caring!
We brought our boxer mix here. She loved it and we love the pictures of her that were taken and updates given. This was our first time boarding our dog because when we got her years ago she was abused by her former owners. She's over time had to learn to trust people. But I'm glad we found shores kennel.
Shores Kennels has been wonderful for our dog Chandler! Donna, Ben, and the rest of the staff are absolutely awesome and love your pet as much as you do. We board Chandler quite a few times per year and it’s a great experience every time.
Read a lot of reviews, called a lot of places before we landed at Shores Kennels for boarding. Our dog was a “special adoption” and we were looking for a place that understood and appreciated what we needed. Ben did a great job setting expectations around how they would manage diet and exercise putting me at ease. The staff took great care of our pup to the point he was almost hesitant to leave. Fantastic experience and will return. Really appreciate you guys.
I used Shores Kennels for my 11 month old golden retriever while I had surgery last week. I can’t say enough good things about them as a facility as well as great owners. They were more than accommodating and made sure to ease my mind about boarding my puppy. Even when I needed more time to recover than originally planned they were flexible with me on that as well. I sincerely appreciate Shores Kennels and will definitely be using them again for boarding as well as daycare in the near future.
Donna of Shores Kennels is an angel on Earth. In March 2017, she saved 3 lives when an EMT/former police officer was faced with the possibility of having to surrender his two best friends to the Humane Society. Tons of people shared the story in an attempt to save the dogs from a shelter. Donna stepped up and took the dogs in with no money up front. She's still boarding them & taking exceptionally good care of them. She posts lots of pics of the dogs on Facebook so that their human can see them and bridge this time apart. She has received very little money so far, from fundraising efforts. When Donna first contacted me, she said she was doing this because she would hope that someone would do the same for her if she were in that position. If it weren't for her, 3 lives would've been destroyed. Literally. God bless this woman & staff. ♥ Thank you!
This is an amazing kennel! Our dog is a lot to handle and doesn't always play well with other dogs. The did not hesitate to take us on as a client. They ensure the safety of our dog as well as all the other dogs. They individually know each dog/family. When you walk in with your dog you feel like family and have such a piece of mind leaving your dog there. There is no other kennel I would pick for my dog. The kennel is also very clean and well maintained.
I am the owner of two rescue Great Danes, one still being a puppy. Both of my dogs came from very sad abuse backgrounds, where they were hurt badly by people and forced to be surrendered. Because of this they suffered badly from separation anxiety and are skiddish around new people if I’m not there with them. I was absolutely amazed with how this kennel did with them, and how happy they were after their 2 day stay. I absolutely love the pictures they take and how kind the whole staff was to my doggies. I truly think this is a perfect place if you need to board your dogs. What an amazing job they did! All the appreciation in the world to these people. I can confidently say I’ll be boarding here again in the future. And they have such reasonable prices!
