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.

I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
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.
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Kyle was a great house sitter and pet sitter for us. We had a good dialogue prior to him sitting for us, and we also did a short walkthrough the week before. Kyle formed a great bond with our dog Charlie and also took good care of our rabbit Poppy. A couple of minor issues came up with systems in our home due to an unexpected power outage, and Kyle was quick to connect with us and then was able to work 1:1 with the service providers to resolve the issues. We look forward to working with Kyle again.
Bard and Kim are amazing house sitters and pet care givers. I would recommend them over and over. I wish I could add numbers to the scale. They would get a 10+. Bard and Kim were super easy to work with, efficient, self-sufficient, and considerate. They took immaculate care of my home; it was definitely cleaner after they left! I would recommend them without hesitation over and over.
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
Thomas did an amazing job! We were very pleased with how well he was able to care for our 3 active Boston terriers. He was able to handle all 3 on a walk and feed them their special meal everyday. He even ventured out and took them to the beach which is no easy task for 3 excited dogs. Thomas did a great job communicating before and during the stay. We came home to a clean house with bedding washed. We had a handful of other pet sitters through this website and Thomas easily rates at the top of our list. Thank you for taking great care for the dogs and the house.
For our first experience with a house sitter, Jim and Julie have set the bar high. We felt totally confident that any issues would be dealt with, fortunately there were none. They were outstanding house and pet sitters whom we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. They took exceptional care of our house full of pets from 2 large dogs, 3 cats, snake, gecko, fish tank and a koi pond. They provided updates daily, were very easy to communicate with and the house was just as clean as when we left it, with the addition of a nice welcome home gift. We knew our pets were in good hands. Thank you for everything. Melissa and Kyle

The dogs come home happy everytime we leave them there. Kennels are clean with good outdoor access for the pups. Connected indoor kennels are nice because we have 2 dogs and 2 puppies so they can stay together but not be crammed in. 10/10 would recommend.
The kennel area is very clean. They have an indoor/outdoor kennel for each dog and the outdoor area is covered. My dog came home as clean as I left him. This is not always true at other places. There are security cameras in place and they keep music playing so the dogs don't get worked up hearing things from outside.
Josie is a wonderful lady....she always accommodates....even on short notice. Her facility is always clean and neat. We have just moved farther away, but will drive the extra distance for boarding.
Great owner. Great pricing. Clean.
Canceled my reservation last minute due to a barking sog she was boarding and her neighbors complaint. Sue told me she was no longer boarding puppies due to their high energy and anxiety. We were very bummed.
Josie is hands down one of the best Shar Pei breeders in the world. Just look at her dogs bloodlines and pedigree, many, many champions were born in that kennel. The temperament of her dogs is exceptional.
Our Husky, Storm, received great care while on his doggy vacation at Ricketts Pet Resort. He will be returning!
Great experience for my dogs.
Love Josie awesome lady. Know a lot about dogs. Clean
Clean, new place. Dogs were taken care of.
Willson loves it! I especially appreciate the private play options since my guy had double knee surgery and can't actively play with other dogs. Reasonably priced with attentive care.
This place is absolutely incredible. If my dog ever ran away, I would probably check here first (because it’s her favorite place to be). The staff is experienced and they care about every single dog that comes in. The owner will ask you in for an interview first to make sure it is a good fit. She really just wants to make sure your pup will be comfortable there and that you understand what a typical day looks like/how they operate. They don’t have 24/7 online pup cameras and if you need that, you probably need to take a few breaths anyhow ;). They DO have a Facebook and they will post playtime pictures of your dog that day which is always fun to see. DEFINITELY choose this place. They also do boarding which we’ll be using in May.
My four dogs go there all the time. They can't wait to get in the door when we get there. Krista and her staff treat my dogs like one of their own. And the prices are very affordable. I would highly recommend Doggie Detailing
My dog loves coming here! Krista and her staff are so nice and professional. We love boarding and daycare here! Also really love the photos they post on Facebook of the dogs during the day.
Hatty has so much fun each time she goes and she hops out of the car each time we return. Great staff!!
I put down a $50 deposit to reserve a spot for my dogs to stay over the weekend due to a last minute work event. I feel like the deposit was a reasonable request. When I came in to fill out paperwork the day before they were going to stay, I was asked to pay the rest upfront in cash, which I did. At the absolute end of the transaction (after I already paid), they laid out shock/bark collars and told me that the dogs must wear them during their entire stay… I don’t feel like this is a common requirement. Also… Very strange that I was unable to view the area the dogs would be staying in. Although I never followed through with bringing my dogs here, it was a terrible experience, super sketchy and misleading. After talking with friends who live in the Grand Haven area, I learned they also had negative experiences with this business. EDIT::: I had to edit this review due the response from this business. The person who wrote the review and came in the evening they are referring to is my boyfriend… We didn’t want him to write the review under his name because we were still fighting to get back the money we paid.
Brought my pups for the first time yesterday and they LOVED it! Everyone was friendly and informative, and they made me feel comfortable leaving my pups there all day. I highly recommend Doggie Detailing and Resort for daycare and boarding. I'll definitely be bringing my dogs back for daycare and also have boarding scheduled.
The problem with this place is that my dog loves it and now he is asking me " hey Dad can i go back to Doggie Resort? I love it there.Sure , it is nice here but they have better beds and my buddies are there and I bet they are all having fun...plus I can meet more young dogs there...they are more fun and not like the old dogs in our neighborhood" FINE HANK!! I yell. We will schedule another stay. Be careful, your dog may end up like Hank - a Doggie Resort addict!
Friendly and helpful staff. They take cash only. They treated my dog with care while I was away from home. My dog isn't neutered so there was an additional fee and he wasn't in group play. If your dog isn't neutered then look elsewhere for socialization.
Our pups seemed very happy with their stay! We were visiting from out town for a wedding and booked two nights for our Pomeranians. I have to admit I found the drop-off times a bit inconvenient but when we arrived everyone seemed very happy and friendly. I am disappointed that they forgot to return our dog beds and rabies paperwork when my husband picked up the the dogs. That's partially his fault too but I expected they would have everything ready at our scheduled pickup time. Unfortunately we had to leave out of town right away and did not have enough time to return to pick everything up. Overall I felt the price was great and my husband said our dogs were very happy when he picked them up.
