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.

Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Jennifer treated my home and furry kids like they were her own. Everything was clean and well cared for and most importantly the dogs were happy! It was their first time with a sitter and they were happy. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience.
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had. She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special. I think that she is a dog whisperer. Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
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!

I’ll cut right to it before I start my rambling. Without hesitation, I give this facility & their staff a 10/10. The Snuggery was HIGHLY recommended to me, by a couple who frequently used this establishment for doggy daycare. My friends repeatedly claimed, their young German Shepherd, was a changed dog (less behavioral issues & WAY more manners) after just a few visits. Although I was told repeatedly, how AmAzInG this place is, I still hesitated to send Winter-The-Meanie-Poo (my new-to-me one-year-old rescue puppy I adopted two months ago, who has very little manners, no obvious prior training, incredible lack of social skills, abundance of attachment issues, an obvious past of abuse & tendency to be fearful/reactive/aggressive) … because I am a total worry-wart-helicopter-dog-Mom. But lemme tell yah, puppy behavior, living in an apartment & the frigid cold don’t mix well - so today I had enough of her chaos & off we went to check this place out. I was immediately (and genuinely) greeted by the sweetest receptionist, the facility appeared clean, organized & didn't smell like a stale pee pad. It’s safe to say, we started off pretty solid. I began expressing my (one million) Dog Mom fears. My concerns span across considerations for Winter, as an individual, as well as the staff that would be handling her. The receptionist patiently listened, reassured me & introduced another staff member, (who was also incredibly patient & empathetic) who then additionally reinforced their capabilities in caring for my most precious possession. Fast forward to pick up. Again, I was immediately warmly greeted when I arrived, even though I was not the only customer being helped. When it was my turn, she stood up with a huge smile & happily informed me, what a perfect angel my girl had been. She then went to the back, (which is visible through a window in the waiting area) where I could easily see her slip the leash over Winter’s head. Shockingly - without a struggle. The positive relationship between the two was obvious & there was absolutely no sign of stress! Blah blah blah - I’m totally rambling. If you made it this far, I appreciate your commitment to my long winded review. Bottom line, take your dogs HERE! Winter is home, happy & EXHAUSTED - just as I had hoped! I truly can’t say enough positive words to describe our experience today. I am SO happy I listened to my friends and chose The Snuggery. We will most certainly be frequent flyers & we hope you will be too!
I’ve boarded my dog here twice and I have had a great experience both times. My dog has some attachment issues, but he’s done well there both times, so I know the staff were attentive and let him socialize with the other dogs. Both times I’ve requested them to brush my dog’s teeth and both times he has come back squeaky clean. I’m very appreciative of the services they provide. I will continue to board here and recommend it to others.
Lisa is hands down the best groomer around! She is so loving and patient with our dogs! Liam was not the best client in the beginning but Lisa won him over and now she is known as his girlfriend ❤️ Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies!!
I have been bringing my golden retriever a few times a week for the last year for daycare. She also gets groomed at The Snuggery once a month. They are literally the BEST!!! I feel like we have really become part of the family at The Snuggery and they truly care about my dog as much as we do! We are so happy to have found such a caring and loving place for her to play!
Our dog Humphrey looks like such a handsome boy after his spa day with Laura, she did such an amazing job on him. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up, we will definitely be returning.
I have my two labs groomed by Lisa at the Snuggery. She does a terrific job and my dogs are happy to go in-which makes me happy and confident in the treatment they receive. I would highly recommend them.
Daisy smelled so good and looked so pretty when she was trimmed. And I know she is happy and they take good care of her during the visit because she prances out when we pick her up.
Lisa is amazing to work with. She truly loves our baby and is always so gentle with her. As she is getting older our baby is getting tougher to cut but Lisa still works with her as much as she lets her. Thank you Lisa for your kindness to our baby and for doing such an amazing job all these years!
I have been going to the Snuggery for eight years, Lisa has taken care of two of my dogs for grooming and does absolutely fabulous every time! My dog goes to day care and boards there when out of town, Karen , Brandy, and everyone take such great care of my boy. I always feel comfortable when he goes there. The Snuggery is the best place for grooming, daycare, and boarding needs!
Lisa does a wonderful job on our doodles and our old lab. They are always happy to go see her and get groomed.
This is absolutely the best kennel I have ever used! The owners are friendly and take time to play with the dogs. They have some large 10’ x 10’ kennels so when our 2 Golden Retrievers go there, they can stay in the kennel together! They will feed them our food and we can bring their beds and toys to make them feel at home. They have 3 fenced off play yards so they have a variety of types of play. When we pick up our dogs up, they run back & forth between us and the owners! It’s as if they are saying should we stay or go home? This is the ONLY place where I have ever had them act like that!
Our two dogs stayed with these folks for three weeks last summer. We're gearing up for another two week vacation this summer and I can rest assured that my boys will be taken care of. The facility is very clean and hospitable. Howl A Day is very affordable, as well. My one boy barked non-stop for the three weeks he was there and Greg had no problem tolerating it. He told me that "Diesel just thinks he's king of the castle around here." That still makes me laugh! We also received 'Report Cards' on our two dogs behavior while boarded. That was such a funny and sweet gesture. Can't thank these guys enough!
Our dog Max loves this place and we appreciate it at as well. We made use of this place numerous times over the last year +. Max seems happy and healthy when we pick him up at the end of his “vacation.” We will continue to be repeat customers for sure.
Great place to take your dogs for boarding. At just $18 a day your dog spends most of the day outside and they play with the dogs and give them attention for no extra money.
Best place for your pets. Well taken care of and loved just like home. Dog needs a nap when he comes back - he’s excited to go every time!
We've boarded our dog many times with Howl A Day and its reasonable price and our Bella is taken very good care of.
My dogs have been going to this boarding facility for several years and always have the best of care and attention.
Just like grammas house, my american skimo dog stayed very well for 2 weeks last during Christmas season, boarding her again this week
Great staff and facilities. Take good care of my dog. Highly recommend.
I think my dog Ozzy should be on the front page of the website because he loves it there so much
