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.

Caitlyn, KJ, and their pup Sully were excellent house guests and pet sitters, and we would highly recommend them! I was able to meet Caitlyn and KJ prior to them house sitting for us, and we are always super appreciative when sitters are able to make that work and are willing to take time out of their schedule to come over and get the lay of the land. Their dog Sully was full of good boy energy and was a great playmate for our two Golden Retrievers. During the stay, Caitlyn & KJ sent us photos every day and followed all of our instructions for pet care to a T. They were super self-sufficient and gracious guests that left our place looking just like it did when we left, and we were very at peace knowing that our dogs were in great hands, getting lots of exercise, and romping around with new friend Sully. Don't hesitate to book this family of three, your house and your pets will be well-looked after!
Kristen
Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
Chris
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!

I had the pleasure of having Tracey and her two children as house sitters, and I can't praise them enough for the incredible job they did. From the moment they stepped into our home, it was evident that they were dedicated, caring, and attentive to every detail. First and foremost, Tracey's approach to caring for our house and our beloved pets was nothing short of excellent. She has an innate ability to connect with animals, and it was clear from the daily updates and photos that our pets were happy and thoroughly pampered. The house was kept in immaculate condition, and they treated it with the utmost respect as if it was their own. Moreover, Tracey demonstrated remarkable responsibility and initiative when our AC system unexpectedly broke down. Without hesitation, she arranged for an HVAC company to come and fix the issue, taking time from her day to ensure our home was taken care of. Her willingness to front the repair costs until I could reimburse her was an act of kindness and trust that you rarely see. Tracey and her children's thoughtfulness and thoroughness provided me with peace of mind during my time away, which is priceless. I returned to a home that was just as I left it, if not better. Their stay was characterized by an extraordinary level of care and I was particularly impressed by how they left the house in perfect condition, with happy pets to welcome me back. I wholeheartedly recommend Tracey to any future hosts. Her reliability, compassion, and the ability to handle unexpected situations with grace are commendable. I would welcome Tracey and her children back to house sit in a heartbeat – they are exactly the kind of house sitters that one hopes for on this site! Thank you, Tracey, for everything. You and your children are welcome back anytime!

I enjoyed meeting Samara. Sosha arrived after I left so we only communicated in writing. Samara is a sweet, considerate pet sitter. She brought her cat, who posed no difficulties to my pets. Samara was in good communication with me during her stay. She used my car without incident. My home was left much cleaner than upon her arrival. Samara proved to be an honest and responsible pet sitter and I would open my home to her at any time in the future.
Evelyn & Jeff
Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.
Jessica
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
Sally
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)
Judith
Janis is absolutely the best pet sitter and home care we have had. She is a regular for us during our Christmas vacation because we totally trust her with the care of our three dogs and the management of our home. She is so good and efficient that I have already requested that she sits for us again next Christmas. Our three dogs absolutely adored her as she played fetch, took them on walks, loved and spoiled them. Management of our home was excellent. I had no concerns whatsoever as we had packages delivered and Mail that needed to be picked up. The house was in much better condition than what we left it. I highly recommend Janis and you will be fortunate to have her as your sitter.
Cheryl
Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.

The facility was clean and spacious and the owners are wonderful people. They made me feel comfortable when I dropped my dog off and when I picked him up he was bright and happy. This is definitely a wonderful kennel and I would both recommend and will go back in the future.
Nice clean kennels. Very friendly owners. We would definitely hire their "fur baby" services again.
We were traveling through town with our dogs and wanted a safe place to leave our pups while visiting Isle Royale National Park. The owner made me feel comfortable from the first phone call - and we had a great experience from start to finish. We are always hesitant to leave our dogs with people we don’t know but I would recommend Kozy Quincy Kennels to anyone and would be sure to use them again if I returned to the area. Thank you so much!
We had never boarded our 6 month old puppy before, and needed to board her far away from home to visit Isle Royale NP, but keep her with us on the rest of our long trip. Trisha took great care of her, and was very gentle and reassuring with me before we left her. The facilities were spotlessly clean, and our pup was well taken care of. Highly recommend!
The owner and her lovely daughter were sweet and helpful!!
Kenneled my 2 labs when visiting the area. Very clean facility and caring owners. Would definitely use again.
Clean, professional facility operated by a nice family that loves dogs! They treated our dogs very well and we will definitely use their services again.
We were very pleased with this kennel. The owners are easy to work with and the facility is immaculate. Highly recommend.
Very clean and dog friendly. We were impressed with how well our dog was treated.
Clean and well maintained. Accepted a reservation on a short notice. Good price. Friendly owners took good care of my dog.

Very pleased with Top Dog Kennels. Tom and Tina took great care of our German Shepherd and even replied with text messages to let us know how he was doing during his stay. The kennel was very clean. I also liked the option of taking him for a walk. I would highly recommend this kennel for boarding your dog.
We rarely leave our dogs with a kennel, but when we do it's Top Dog Kennels! The environment is friendly, clean and organized. They have an appreciation and respect for the multitude of personalities that dogs will present. We were concerned about how one of our dogs would handle being with so many other dogs. In response, Tom made sure to provide him with the attention and outdoor space he needed. We have never had any issues and trust our dogs to their care.
I booked reservations to board my dog while I was camping, I decided I was just going to keep my dog camping with me. I did drive up to pay the owners for my cancellation. They seemed like nice people. The kennel building and surrounding area looked well taken care of. I would recommend them for boarding. Although I would rather make my reservations over the phone, their online system and response was fast and acceptable.
We were very happy with our experience at Top Dog Kennels. We boarded our 2 labs there over a weekend. Online reservation system worked great and we received timely responses to our questions. Tom and Tina were very accommodating to meet a special request. The kennel was clean and well organized. We will definitely use their services again when we are in need. Highly recommend.
From out of town but needed a sitter for the day to visit the National Park. The online reservation process was easy and Tom was timely in his responses. Our dogs are always with us but spent a day at Top Dog and enjoyed it! The facility was very clean and the other dogs seemed happy. Tina was caring and flexible. We highly recommend Top Dog!
My Bernie has stayed there twice and I'm just about to book a third stay. Tom and Tina have taken great care of my girl and she clearly loves them. Highly recommend!!
Tina and Tom were amazing caretakers for my 4 year and 5 month old Bernese Mountain dogs. It was my puppy's first time at the kennel and when I brought them back for daycare the next day they ran right into their kennels -- not even a glance back. Both dogs looked like they felt really comfortable right from the start. The kennels are clean and airy. They are really close to the Holiday Inn Express which was convenient for doing day care while I was at meetings.
Our family was heading up to Mt. Bohemia for a snowboard trip and wanted to find a good kennel close to the resort. Found this online and SO happy we did. Our 4-year english springer, Oliver seemed to have a really great time. It was a little hard to get ahold of Tom at first (sent an email, online inquiry and called) but eventually we got that worked out! The kennel was easy to find, clean and had good sized individual runs for the dogs. Plus - a fenced in play-yard for the dogs to go out several times a day. Tom was very nice and attentive with the dogs. Price was great, the 24-hr access when we prepaid and ease of check-in made this place the perfect spot to drop Oliver. If/when we are in the area we will definitely go back. It was also a nice touch to receive a text about an hour after drop-off to show our pup making a new friend and enjoying play-time.
Tom and Tina are the best. Murphy loves it at Top Dog Kennels. Murphy takes meds twice a day and we trust them to give Murphy the best care possible!
We just boarded our 13 year old Lab/Shepherd with Tom & Tina for the 3rd time. The first two times she was fine there and they took wonderful care of her, giving her numerous meds several times per day, and she seemed to really like Tom. The kennel is so clean too! The first time we took her there last year, I tried to say goodbye to her, but she was following Tom all around, ignoring me, so I knew she was in a good place! Since the 2nd time we left her there, she developed arthritis in her back and hind legs and was on an additional two meds, and did got get around as well as before. I felt so bad leaving her because she's so old and set in her ways, but we decided we really needed to visit our daughter. I booked her for 14 days, but on the morning of the 8th day, Monday, Tina texted me that she hadn't eaten since Saturday. They asked about her favorite foods, and I told them she loved baked chicken. They had tried everything to get her to eat and we were 800 miles away so we couldn't do much. Tina went out and got a rotisserie chicken for her while Tom made rice to mix with it, and they offered that to her and she still wouldn't eat! I suggested that maybe if my brother (our dog loves him!) came to visit her it would help, and as a last resort, he could take her to our house and babysit her off and on until we could get back Weds. night. He went to see her with his work truck and she perked up, but still wouldn't eat, so Tom & Tina thought maybe taking her back to our house as I suggested, to familiar surroundings would be the best. Since he had no room in his truck, they loaded her and everything of hers into their van and followed him to our house (25 minute drive), where my brother took over her care, and within a few hours, she was eating again. He spent time with her off & on til we returned home , and when we did, she was full of life and energy and we took her for walk right away. We all agreed she must've been depressed and lost hope that we were coming back to get her. We were never away from her for that long. So sad! We will not be going anywhere together again for more than a day while she is still with us. We have used most of the kennels in the area over the past 30 years, but Tom & Tina are by far the best people in the area to take care of your dog! They go above and beyond!!! I would highly recommend them! They love dogs and the dogs love them too!
