Rose
Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.

Annie
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.

Jordan
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
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!

Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.

Hannah
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
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
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
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!

Courtenay
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
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
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.

We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!

Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Nicole
This was our first time using a pet or house sitter and the bar set by Leslie is very high! She is warm, friendly, communicative, responsible and very clean. Upon arriving, she immediately bonded with our rat terrier, Oreo, by bringing him a new frisbee (his favorite toy/activity) and throwing it for him in our backyard. Leslie has a sweet and mellow dog, Benny, who is now Oreo's new buddy! She kept my husband and I updated via texts/pictures of their daily activities, our house, and was proactive in asking questions before she left. She even dropped our dog off at the kennel for one night at the end of our trip since our flight was too late for us to get home for him! Our home was clean and had fresh flowers from our garden that she put in vases for us! Such a simple and nice touch! We have asked Leslie to come back to sit for us again for 2 weeks in August. I'd highly recommend her to take care of your pet(s) and home too!
Sneha
Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
Kristina and Doug
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Simon
BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!
Shonagh
Duncan was an excellent pet sitter and looked after our old girl Cookie really well.

Laura is incredible! For starters, she is a clear and considerate communicator who is reliable and trustworthy while setting up details for a sit in advance. From there... where do we start?! Laura (and her sister Stephanie, for a few days) took care of our cat & dog for a week-long sit. We were immediately at ease with both of them, and it was clear that they were excited to meet our pets and love them, and relaxed and comfortable in this role. They asked informed and curious questions about our pets, routines, and the surrounding area to set up a successful sit. When we departed, our dog hardly seemed to notice, because she was getting to know her new people! The snuggle-fest and hiking adventures that took place while we were gone resulted in happy pets who were calm and content. We received daily photos, which were heart warming, and assured us that dog hugs and cat exercise were taking place. Our dog is very affectionate, and Laura made sure that she received plenty of love while we were gone. Upon return, our home was spotless - tidy and clean (possibly cleaner than when we left, and we tried really hard!) We are games people, and Laura left us some of her favorite games to play (yay), and gifts for our pets, which were so fun to open when we got home. Everything was so thoughtful and kind. Laura is absolutely one of the top sitters we've ever had, and we are so grateful for her care. She went above and beyond basic home/pet care, and her compassion shines through in all of her communications and actions. She (and Stephanie) are welcome anytime, and we (Zora and Morris especially) hope they will come stay again!
Kellie
Laura was amazing with communication from the very beginning. She sent updates of photos and videos without even being told or asked to do so. She was watching our cat and treated her like her own. Laura was also very responsive when we were trying to find a sitter for our dates and answered any and all questions we had about her experience with pets and house sitting. I would recommend her to anyone! :) and hope we can have her house sit again for us.
Wanda
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda

AMAZING dog sitters! Very kind people! Your dog will be loved while you are gone!
“There’s no place like home” …EXCEPT The Farmhouse ! Simply put, exceptional people who truly love our fur babies. The best !
We have used many different kennels over the years. There have been good, just okay and terrible ones. You always worry that your pet is going to be locked up in a cage for the duration of your absence and given the most basic amount of attention. These guys are different. They send you pictures of your dog playing with other dogs and give them snuggles and attention. They love what they do and you can tell. They have even helped us give our dog medication. Can't say enough good things about them.
Ed and Laura are the best! Just like sending the Kids to camp! We have 3 dogs and they all absolutely loved it here. A home away from home for sure. They had a blast with the other dogs. Thank you so very much.
Laura and Ed were so nice and friendly, and even tho Hannah really didn't really want to be there, I felt she was in good hands. They were able to let her out often, and she apparently "hung out" with their dogs. Much better there than at home alone when we have to be away. Thanks for giving me peace of mind!
These are the best people EVER! They not only care about the fur babies ,they care about the human's . I highly recommend this place no matter if it's for a few hours, Over night or weekend getaway they will take great car of your fur babies!
They are the best! My fur baby loves playing with the other dogs there. They are awesome to my spoiled pup.
SUPER GREAT PUPPY SITTERS! We're visiting for a week, and our dog needs to get out of the hotel room. Great day care and over night. Wish they were in our area!
Our little guy was happy. He was in great hands, and I definitely recommend them. I will certainly use them again.
The owners took very good care of our lab, Lacey, when we went out of town for a few days.

I highly recommend Niki and Up North Pet Service! The level of care, the reporting, the daily photos and communication is excellent and well appreciated. I take great comfort in knowing when I'm away that Kitty Gato is well taken care of. My kitty loves Niki too! I especially love receiving the photos of when she is napping on Niki's lap. :-)
We were new customers and on fairly short notice Niki was able to meet our pets and then care for them for several nights. We were able to enjoy the holidays without worry thanks to her excellent service. It was incredibly affordable and our cats were quite happy! I would recommend her to anyone, and will be a repeat customer!
Frieda loves to have Niki visit, and we get pictures so see just how happy they are. Niki has been able to accommodate some schedule changes due to family emergencies which is greatly appreciated. The whole family, including Frieda, is so very happy that we found Niki's Up North Pet Service.
Highly recommended! Niki is great! She treats dogs like her own! She keeps update via text and emails with report and pictures. My dogs loves her! Pricing is fair. Will be using her services again!
Niki is great! She takes excellent care of my dog and sends a report at the end of each visit so that I know how much fun they had. Niki provides a variety of services which has been beneficial when various things come up at work and I need someone to drop in on my dog or run her to the vet. She is reliable, great at communicating, and loves each animal as if they were her own. I cannot recommend Niki's Up North Pet Service enough!
Niki at Up North Pet Service provided a clean, pet friendly, home-like environment for my Bernese Mountain dog, Quincy while we were away. We have never left him for this long and were worried about how our lovable dog would react. Thankfully, almost every day, she shared pictures or videos of Quincy playing or eating, which eased our minds and confirmed how well she was taking care of him. Niki was great about making sure he had his medications as needed. I would highly recommend Niki and UP North Pet Service to anyone in need of kenneling services in the northern Michigan area.
Niki did a wonderful job taking care of our 2 year old border collie! We were in a pinch with last minute cancellations from others and Niki took us right in! Her kennel was very clean and organized and she kept us up to date on our pup’s progress!
Niki is always available to watch our animals. Even with short notice. She goes above and beyond every time. I love that she checks in when she arrives and always leaves a little note about what she does and what my pets are doing. I also love the pictures that she sends while she is here. My dogs absolutely love her and her toys/treats. I never have to worry if they are taken care of. She doesn’t just let them out and rush them back in. She really takes her time and lets them run off their energy. Her prices are very reasonable. I am so glad that we have someone we can trust with our animals and in our home. Thanks Nikki for all you do.
Niki deserves 5+ stars for her communication, dependability, passion and affordability. She sends detailed messages with pictures after each visit that makes you feel comfortable being away from your best friend. Her pricing is fair and she explains it in depth with options. I reccomend Niki to anyone wanting the best care for your pet while you're gone even if that's to check on them at lunch time. Thanks Niki for making life easy for me and Myles!
We appreciate Nikki taking care of our two kitties. She sends us pictures and updates everytime she checks on them. She seems knowledgeable about pet care and responds to text messages quickly. We have used her pet sitting service two times so far and both times went well.

Jennifer grooms my senior dog and Murphy loves her. I totally trust her with him. She has also advised me about his dietary needs resulting in a much better fur coat and tail for my little one. Jennifer responded immediately to me when my dog had eaten a large amount of chocolate. She knew exactly what to do! She loves all animals and it shows.
I love Jennifer!! She has been grooming my labradoodle for over 2 years. She not only makes my Sasha look beautiful, she truly cares about my pets well being. Jennifer is a great person and I highly recommend her services.
Jennifer was fantastic to both my husband and myself and my Yorkie chi mix. My pup had a bad experience before so getting groomed scares her and when I got her back she was happy and excited. Not to mention when I had a schedule issue she took dozer in early to help us out. Thank you Jennifer we definitely recommend her and will most definitely be returning.
Jennifer has boarded our Labrador retriever many times. The lower level of her home is dedicated to her pet care and grooming business. So our dog has plenty of room to roam and is always happy when we drop her off. Her resident cat also loves dogs, so our dog always looks forward to hanging out with her feline friend.
Jenn has been grooming my 5 Yorkies for years. They love going to see her and getting pampered. She is very knowledgeable, very helpful. And, the best part.of it all she loves them all. We love you Jenn, keep up the great work.
I highly recommend Jennifer' services. She is the best!
Highly recommended for boarding! I have to travel frequently (for work) and need a trusted place to watch my large Doberman. The rates are very reasonable and Jennifer is very friendly and helpful! I've moved frequently and have tried many different kennels. Gulliver's Groom and Board is one of the only places my dog seems comfortable at when I drop her off.
I live an hour away and use The Happy Dog Paw to care for my fur family and fostered rescues. Jennifer has accommodated my hectic busy schedule, sometimes on shorter notice than I should even ask! It is clear to see that she loves what she does, not because she has to, but because she chooses to! Jennifer isn’t just my fur family groomer, she’s my new found friend❣️
My little pup loves doggy day care here! Always has non-stop fun and comes home nearly pooped out at the end of the day. Jennifer is great to work with and I totally trust my dog in her care. Thanks for everything you do!
Jennifer was amazing. So considerate, we had our pup groomed while boarded and she did a great job, stayed in contact while we were away, and we picked up happy, well adjusted dogs....
