Animal lovers/rescuers - retired professional couple - dependable and kind :).
Amy and Eric went well beyond our expectations to care for Bodie, including care for a resolving health issue. Shay was a nice little companion for Bodie. Amy and Eric took excellent care of our house, pool, and plants. They kept in touch with us while we were away, sending daily photos and stories of Bodie. They included him on some local adventures. They are an engaging and fun couple who we enjoyed meeting. We would highly recommend them as sitters!

Retired, non-smoking couple looking to travel while caring for houses and pets.
Jess and Matt have house/cat sat for us previously, so we were very reassured to know that they would be coming again. We didn’t worry at all while we were away, as we knew Gizmo and our home were in safe hands. We find them to be a very capable, respectful and friendly couple. They sent regular photo updates and we could tell that our cat was very settled - which was also apparent on our return. J&M communicated really well prior to the sit, letting us know when they had arrived in the country and the times they would be arriving and leaving. They cared for our home exceptionally well. They even topped up cat food crunchies and changed bedding, and the house was very clean and tidy which was joy to return home to. We would strongly recommend them as house/pet sitters. You’re welcome back anytime - thank you so much.

Adventurous, Reliable, Retired, Enjoying life, Non-smoker.
My scheduled sitter had cancelled close to my departure date, and Diane stepped up and offered her services. So much appreciated. I was able to visit my grandchildren!!! Diane (Bogie) gave EJ lots of attention and took him for many many walks during my absence. She also froze some of the leftovers that I had prepared so that I would have food upon my return--again, much appreciated without having to go shopping immediately. Her compassion did not go unnoticed!!

Dependable pet/house sitter with vet tech experience willing to travel to you!
Karla practically became a family member to my boys. They were well cared for and her vet tech experience came in handy. My home was spotless upon return and I'd welcome her back anytime. She's checked back to make sure my guys are doing well once she left. I appreciate her attention to detail.

Solo home/pet sitter w/car. I would love to care for your home & pets.
This was not the first time Karrie sat for me, and just like before I knew my fur babies and home were in good hands. Karrie was on time, attentive to my kitties and respectful of my home. I look forward to Karrie sitting again in the future and know she is taking care of things while I am gone. Highly recommend Karrie to all!

Trustworthy, non-smoking, professional woman or couple to love your pets!!
Another great sit from Janet! We feel so fortunate to have found her. Leaving our Ruby for such a time period would never be possible without the confidence we have in Janet. It's heart breaking the day we leave, but we always rest assured that Ruby will be living her best life while we are away!

Caring Professional excited to care for your precious pets and home. ♥️
As a first time Housesitters user, I didn’t really know what to expect. That being said, Charity set the bar really high! My home and my pet were taken care of just as if I’d been here myself. She sent pics and videos frequently during our trip. Daisy was having so much fun, I was worried she might want to leave with Charity. They went on walks and nature hikes and played with acorns every morning. And lots of snuggles every evening. Charity organized our mail and packages. cleaned the house, washed the towels and bedding - basically left our home in the same condition we left it. I would highly recommend Charity for a sit and plan on having her stay at our home again in the near future.

Caring, respectful, experienced house sitter to keep your fur babies company.
Annie befriended Katherine within minutes of her arrival and was curled up where Katherine had slept when we returned home. She was a very content kitty. Annie’s only special need is a thorough daily brushing; the lack of mats in her fur when we returned told us that she had been well cared for. We’re pleased that Katherine will be coming back for another sit next spring.
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I never met Joi because due to her work, she arrived after I left and was gone before I returned home. This wasn't a problem at all. She was very self-sufficient and seemed to find all that she needed in my house. The house looked exactly like I left it and my cat seemed very content when I returned. Apparently they had a nightly routine of Luna getting brushed. Joi is a very experienced sitter and it shows.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Ann Marie was an excellent house sitter who went above and beyond. She flew in a day early and stayed at a local hotel so we she could meet my cat and get the keys before my early flight the next morning. When I returned, she and Tryke were best friends and the house was immaculate. She even washed the sheets and towels, and remade the bed. I strongly recommend Ann Marie for any future sits!
I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!

Not only do we board our fur babies at Lucky Puppy, but they also attend doggy daycare every week. Brenda and her crew are amazing, and it is easy to see their passion for all the daycare kids they care for. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our fur kids!!
Love love love lucky puppy almost as much as my dog Sadie does! Sadie has been going there for years to board whenever I go out of town and can't take her with me. As soon as she smells that country air as we approach the driveway her head perks up and her tail starts wagging. Brenda and her staff are the best!
We are new to the Lucky Puppy family and just started taking our 8-month-old, Millie, to daycare twice a week. She loves it and we love it too. She comes home happy and exhausted from all the playtime with friends (the picture is from her first daycare pickup). Every morning she asks if it is a Lucky Puppy Day? The Lucky Puppy team is wonderful and keeps us updated on her progress there. We loved the welcome on social media Millie got for her first day and the email postcards the team sent of her having fun. We are excited for Millie to have her first overnight at Lucky Puppy later this month, as it is truly her home away from home. Highly Recommend!
July 16, 2024 - Oski came home this morning from another awesome boarding stay (7 days) at Lucky Puppy. She regularly attends daycare and boards occasionally when we are out of town. She always seems very happy with her canine friends there and comes home happy and healthy! Thank you Lucky Puppy Team!
Both of my dogs went thru the Star Puppy Program thru Lucky Puppy and they also go to daycare there 3 times a week! The puppy program was great for teaching them basic commands such as Sit, Stay, Down, Come, Leave It, Heel, Touch, along with working with distractions. There was also good advice on unwanted behaviors such as chewing, jumping, digging and advice on good dog food. I am excited for the next set of classes to start up! As for the doggy daycare itself, my dogs have a blast! They come home tired and sleep almost an entire day and then they go back off to daycare to get worn out again! I get "postcards" emailed to me with pictures of my dogs having fun with their other dog friends - whether they are playing chase, jumping in the pool, chewing on sticks, running in the rain, or romping thru a giant mud puddle! They come home a little dirty sometimes, but the staff always try to rinse them off before going home - I find it to be a sign that they had a super fun day! Calista and Xanthe give two Paws up for a great time (and lots of stick chewing!) every time they come! All in all I would 100% recommend both the training and the daycare at Lucky Puppy!
There is no place anywhere like Lucky Puppy! He is outside all day playing with his buddies and in there house in the evening. A perfect second home for my puppy😊❤️ …
I sent my puppy, Stanley, to the 3 week board and train program at Lucky Puppy. I was immediately impressed with the facility and professionalism. They truly put the dog's best interests forward. I knew my baby was gong to be in the best of care! I was missing him so much and was e-mailed "post cards" with pictures of him having the best time! When I picked him up I noticed such a positive difference in him. They showed him so much love and care that I just knew I had to send him back for daycare! (We already scheduled him for next week!). I would give ten stars if I could! Two paws up from Stan Man.
I started StarPuppy at Lucky Puppy after having taken a basic manners class with my puppy elsewhere. At 8 months, my puppy understood those basic commands but most of the time she was ignoring me. StarPuppy bridged the gap. Brenda taught me how to cultivate my puppy’s respect through my tone, body language, expectations and rewards. In class we got lots of one on one time and each owner was given specific techniques personalized to their dog. During playtime, Brenda gave consequences and redirection to rough play that the pups understood and responded to. We learned preventative solutions to problem behaviors like jumping and chewing that just worked. At home, we saw HUGE changes to our pup almost immediately. One morning as I let my puppy out into my yard I noticed a skunk scurrying down my driveway. I watched my entire day flash before my eyes, my first thought, “I’m going to have to call off work”. I couldn’t believe that when I called my puppy (my puppy who LOVES to chase) that SHE CAME!?!!!! StarPuppy is worth well beyond the price of the course! I also use daycare services as well and couldn’t be happier with them. Brenda sends me high quality photos of my pup having a blast weekly. Can’t recommend this business enough.
My labradors have been coming to Lucky Puppy for 14 years. They come once a week usually. We also board. It MAKES their week. Swimming, being around their own kind, etc just makes them joyful. And then they sleeeeep!🙂. Thank you to Brenda and her great staff.
Words alone do not justify the amount of value and peace of mind Lucky Puppy has brought to my family. Our dog, Calyx, used to spend the better part of his days during the week at our house, alone, waiting for us to come home. Unfortunately, typically by the time we returned to him we were tired from a long days work and not in a mood to get out and play with him. We considered daycare for some time, however were unable to find a care provider that we could trust our beloved fur baby with. I expanded to more remote locations, and that's when I came across Lucky Puppy... Their website was great, lots of amenities and services offered for the dogs. The aspect that sold me almost instantly was their Cage-Free philosophy, the freedom to roam and play free of confined spaces was an awesome thought. After a couple weeks of back-and-forth communication with Lucky Puppy, we showed up with our dog for his orientation. I was a bit apprehensive at first, but the staff that manage this business are VERY well trained and disciplined in their methods of handling dogs. We took a quick tour of the grounds and were very satisfied with the arrangements they had in place. The next week, we started bringing Calyx for 3-Days a week (Mon-Wed-Fri) while we are at work from approximately 7:30AM - 5:00PM. He has never been so mellow and relaxed while at home! Being able to play with the pack all day at Lucky Puppy has put him in a much better physical and mental health from what we can tell. His veterinarian also noticed how much more lean and muscular he was after a couple months of daycare. When the time came to go on vacation, Lucky Puppy was there for us and took in Calyx for a total of 10 Days while we went on a cruise in the Caribbean. In previous years, we left him with family/friends while away. When staying at friends/family they often preferred crating him to reduce risk. Crating is not part of his normal routine, so this added additional stress on-top of already being separated from us for a length of time. Lucky Puppy is 100% cage free, and he was able to roam about the house to find a spot he was most comfortable to sleep in, just like he does when he's at home with us. Good luck finding another daycare/boarding facility of this caliber with that kind of freedom and luxury... Keeping our dog with friends/family typically left us with a sense of worry and doubt, as we were not certain as to how well he was being treated. Knowing that the staff at lucky puppy are well trained in how to properly take care of our dog helped put our minds at ease, and I can say with confidence that we did not worry for a moment during the length of this last 10 Day trip. Every aspect of our experience so far with Lucky Puppy has been AWESOME, and I look forward to continuing services for our dog and any future dogs with Lucky Puppy for the foreseeable future!
Paws ‘n Pads is the best doggy daycare in Ypsi!! I have been bringing my dog Koda there for 3 years for both daycare and boarding since he was just 16 weeks old! Being a GSD, Koda has so much energy and PnP has been a God send for us. No other doggy daycare we’ve tried has ever been as accommodating as them. When my mother-in-law suddenly passed away they were so gracious in boarding Koda last minute. As a nurse who works 12 hour shifts and weekends, it can be difficult to find a daycare that opens early enough and closes late enough to accommodate my schedule. PnP has always been incredible at flexing around my schedule if I need to drop him off a little early on weekends. Not to mention their staff is INCREDIBLE! All the girls are so sweet and lovely and I can tell they genuinely love the dogs they care for. Not only does Koda recognize the street that PnP is on and gets so excited to run inside and give the girls kisses but they seem equally as excited to see him. They are so patient with Koda and his kangaroo jumps and big slobbery kisses. I have no qualms about trusting them with Koda’s care. I think, as with anything in life, expectations need to be managed for what to expect from ANY doggy daycare. Dogs are dogs and they will sometimes play rough and get slobbery and be…well, dogs! There are several reviews commenting on the “inconvenience” of having to bathe their dogs after daycare and claiming they smell of urine. Koda has never, ever smelled like urine. He can be sticky from slobbery play sometimes but that just tells me he had a good day playing with his friends! I would never expect PnP to wash and groom my dog for me without paying for that service. For the people who want to complain about providing their pet basic hygiene, maybe doggy daycares and pet ownership aren’t for you.
I want to update my past experience at PNP over the past 6 years with my two pups. I appreciate the family atmosphere and ownership of PNP. However, I have noticed things slipping over the past couple years. My first dog Blue loved going there even though he had a lot of anxiety issues from his past (rescue pup). However, I did notice when I would pick him up Blue would smell of urine. I have also noticed the same issue with other husky Loki. The issues started adding up to the point where I no longer take Loki to PNP. Loki came home with Kennel cough after a short boarding stay. Then his next two stays Loki came home limping. I learned from an employee that Loki spent the entire night trying to escape from his kennel and injured himself in the process. Luckily his limp was a soft tissue injury and it healed itself. Loki would come home with minor scrapes which was attributed to rough play (fair enough for a husky) and one time he tried to befriend one of the foster cats in the lobby. I was always contacted by them when this occurred. I also noticed Loki starting to get nervous when and refuse to enter PNP. Clearly Loki was telling me something. He is never nervous or anxious about anything. The final straw for me was when I was bringing Loki for daycare and nobody was in the building! It was an hour after their posted opening. There was about five other cars in the parking lot and we were all trying to reach the owner, Penny. It took all five of us calling and sending Facebook messages for 30 minutes to reach someone. Since that incident, I have been taking Loki to Pup City Daycare. Their owner has education and training in dog behavior. They also ensure dogs are placed in play groups based on a dog’s personality. The webcams at their business ensure there is transparency at what occurs while your pup is in their care. Some recommendations for improvements. -install webcams that allow your customers to check in on their pups. This will increase transparency -Hire enough staff to lower the dog:staff ratio. Also ensure your staff is trained in animal behavior and group behavior. -Use dog safe cleaning products. Bleach should never be used. It is not safe for dogs and will cause chemical burns. I want to support PNP but I no long in good conscience support them. I feel bad because they were the first daycare that took care of my pups.
Hit or miss. Sometimes its great no issues and occasionally there will be some small stuff like dogs feeling low energy or very thirsty when we take them home. We left a toy for our dog this past time as we were told it's allowed when he doesnt board/mingle with the big group but on pick up we could see it clearly wasn't given to him. They're definitely reliable and helpful though. Often will have space for the boarding. Even picked up food for our dogs since our bag ran out. I do like the fb page photos and getting to see all the dogs there that day.
Would go lower if I could. This place not only has the audacity to call deep wounds and smelling of pee normal but seems to brush that type of behavior under the rug.. Could amount to animal abuse in my own opinion.
Love this place!! My dog hope loves it! The employees are very sweet and kind! Highly recommend. Attached is my dog at the daycare :)
I do not recommend this place. Staff is friendly but they do not take proper care of dogs. I took my dog henry there a few times and every time he has come back smelling like pee and covered in pee. I always have to give him a bath after because his fur is sticky and he smells terrible. Truly don’t recommend.
No place if rather take my dog. Staff is fantastic and caring. Place is clean, they even help the community by fostering animals!
Dropped our blind dog off for some R&R after hiking in very hot and humid conditions several days. She rested in air conditioning with just the right amount of social interaction. Staff was professional and friendly. It was a brief but very positive experience for our dog. Thank you Paws'n Pads!
My dogs absolutely love it here! They have the best time and I wouldn't trust my dogs with anyone else!
Great place with a wonderful caring staff. I love the daily pics. And the fact they partner with a rescue is just wonderful!
