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!

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!
Heather
Amanda was the perfect housesitter and pet sitter for our cat. She is organized and communicative, and took care to ensure she understood the guidelines for taking care of our home and our cat. She left our house in perfect condition and we returned home to one happy kitty! Would not hesitate to have Amanda housesit for us again or recommend her to others looking for a sitter.
Robert
Kelly was flawless, she was a fantastic pet sitter and house sitter. She was over communicating with pictures and updates. We were at total peace knowing Kelly was overseeing Leo and Bella. Kelly connected with our dogs perfectly. We loved how Kelly daily took our dogs for walks and even an extended hikes. She has our full and complete recommendation.
Laura
Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets. We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home. The pictures and the comments they sent showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.
Korinda
Laura was an exceptional, reliable, and loving sitter for our goldendoodle Scout, and took such good care of our home! Scout was excited to meet Laura immediately when she arrived at our home for this sit, and showered Laura with all the hugs and kisses. Scout has recently been having issues with seizures, so for this sit I was specifically looking for a sitter who had a depth of experience with giving medication and responding calmly in the event of an emergency. It was a big relief to be able to entrust Scout to Laura's capable and kind hands, and it was extra special that Laura's beloved vizsla had shared the same name. Laura is wonderfully easy to communicate and coordinate with, and was thorough in her care of our home. We came back to our garden looking great, house left in even better shape than I left it to Laura, and a very happy Scout! I cannot overstate how much we appreciated Laura's care for Scout and our home, and heartily recommend her as a pet and house sitter. If you're lucky enough to get on Laura's schedule, your pups will be with the most wonderful stand-in dog mom you could have hoped for!

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!
Hannah
Mikala & Jake were great house & pet sitters for us!! Our dog and two cats absolutely adored them, and we came back to a very clean home with happy animals :) They were very reliable and fast communicators. They even had to deal with our power going out while we were away, and they handled it well. It eased our minds to know our animals and house were in such great care while we were away and would have them sit for us anytime!
Tina
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Samantha
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.

My dog Oberon was well taken care of when he was boarded here for 2 weeks. He is a nervous dog and often acts stressed out after boarding BUT -- he was happy as a clam after staying here. The owners seem very genuine and friendly and clearly love dogs. I plan to use them again!
Could not have been more disappointed in our first kennel experience! We left our 6 month old Bernedoodle Fri-Sun. He almost dragged her to the kennel area by leash and collar, and wouldn't allow me to accompany them. When we arrived to pick her up, she was not ready, her bed was SATURATED with urine (she is potty trained!) No explanation or apology or even a bag to place saturated bed in! Dog was starving! Ate tons of food and water when we returned! Owner was not very professional and we will not be returning!
Not sure if there is a lack of communication between staff or just a disregard for instructions. We recently took our 3 dogs to be boarded for a week. Each dog was sent with their own container of food, toys, and treats along with written instructions on feeding and treat frequency. One of our dogs came home with almost half of his food remaining, I had forgotten their scoop but had informed the lady upon drop off that they get 1 cup per meal, these instructions were also on the food container. Another of our dogs has a dairy allergy, she was sent with special cookies and dairy free snacks and this was noted on her container as well. She was obviously given a non-approved treat, probably one of the other dogs biscuits, as she has been having issues associated with this and has had to be put on a chicken and rice diet until her stomach settles back down. When we picked up our dogs on Sunday, apparently one of their tags fell off in their lobby, we didn't realize until Wednesday it was missing. After searching high and low I called the kennel and they were just like 'Yep we have it, found it on the floor after you left'. They didn't bother to call me or anything and let me know that this important item had been found, who does that? Every interaction I have had with the staff was very brusque, I genuinely felt they were annoyed when I called to check on my dogs, they were certainly annoyed when my husband drove over to get the tags, there was never any warmth, any cheer, nothing I really expect from interacting with any business person especially one I'm entrusting the care of my dogs to.
Our first time boarding with Rising star last week. I was so impressed with how clean the kennels are kept. They are also very spacious. The owners are very friendly and it’s evident that they love dogs! I’m so thankful to find such a great place.
We took our 1 year old beagle in for boarding for the weekend.. hugo did a very good job with him during the drip off and keeping us informed with texting when we asked. One thing I really appreciated was that, even though I forgot to mention it until a couple hours before we picked him up, they were able to get Bilbo's nails clipped for us! We will definitely be returning!
Love Rising Star Boarding & Grooming! Great facility. Very clean. Website is easy to use and book appointments :) Thank you!
Had my two labradoodles groomed there for the first time last week and was very disappointed in the quality and style of the grooming. It seemed like the groomer just sheered the dogs to the shortest they could get and left it there. Will not be going back and do not recommend this buisness to any other dog owners.
We’ve been taken our dogs here a few times now for boarding. Kennels are always very clean, staff has been super helpful and accommodating.
They are always so good with our dog when we leave him! Great place for boarding!

Our pups love Jean and crew at K9 Care Camp! They are excited the moment we arrive at her door. I know they are well cared for!
If you need a place to take your pets and want to lower your anxiety about leaving them, then reach out to Jean at K9 Care Camp. Never had a bad experience and love that Jean sends updates and pics for some of their longer stays.
The only reason I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 is because they kept our dog alive. I had high hopes for this establishment from reading reviews and having my nerves softened by a nice woman outside who said that they do a great job. My grievances begin here: we were told that she ate well, but having meticulously counted out both breakfast and dinner portions, and adding extra days in case our return was late, there was 3 food portions unused that should have been. She was returned to us with a terrible rash on her stomach. This is a rash that she has had in the past, but it has never been this bad and we were not notified that it had developed this far during her stay, or upon pickup. It was also reported that they had a hard time getting her back inside after yard time. They said that their solution to this was that she was leashed during yard time (you know, when they're supposed to exercise). Our dog came back to us stressed and her behavior is far worse having stayed there. Would not recommend this facility. We have boarded her before with another facility and the stark difference in stress and behavior between there and K9 care camp is saddening.
My two golden retrievers absolutely love going to Camp with Jean! They run right in from the car, go right up to Jean for hugs and they never even look back at me! I love the pictures Care Camp sends me of my dogs and I know they are getting the best of care.
I brought my four Persians for a lions cut. Melissa is an amazing groomer! My cats were happy and they look beautiful. She took great care of my cats. Thank you!!!!
Our miniature schnauzer had her hair and nails done by K9 today. Our experience was wonderful.
I've been taking my dogs to Jean and crew for 6 years and would never consider anywhere else. The personal touch and care my pets get are exceptional. I live in Grand Rapids but choose the 45 minute drive for the best care my pets can get. They are always happy to have a K9 Care Camp sleepover!
I love K9 Care Camp! Not only is it clean and organized, the staff is wonderful with dogs. It's easy to book online and conveniently located off of 131.
K9 Kamp took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away. They sent text and photos to let us know of our pets were doing well. Great job!! Would recommend them for your pet care.🐕☺️ …
Great place to go, very clean, beautiful yard for the dogs.
