Shirley
Dimondale, Michigan
Traveling Friend of Pets & Plants
Shirley left eveything as she found it. The cats seemed to do well while we were away.
Dawn
Dimondale, Michigan
Animals are such agreeable friends. They ask no questions & pass no criticism.
Dawn and Greg were the perfect sitters from the start. We had a great FaceTime with them since they were coming from a different time zone, which immediately put us at ease! We ran into a bit of an issue night one (our fault) and they were flexible, adaptable and SO gracious! Dawn was great about communicating with us, sending pictures and keeping us apprised of how our kitties were doing. We would gladly have Dawn and Greg again.
Karla
Dimondale, Michigan
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.
Karrie
Dimondale, Michigan
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!
Emerson
Dimondale, Michigan
Nomad, meditation guide, house cleaner, and friend to all animals
I felt at ease leaving my fur kids with Emerson. I hope to have her back!
Elizabeth
Dimondale, Michigan
Caring, Clean and Dependable Traveler Who Would Love To Take Care Of Your Home
Elizabeth was fantastic and we would absolutely have her again. She is a great communicator, checked with us if she wasn't sure, took good care of Lulu, and was overall wonderful.
Chica
Dimondale, Michigan
Mature, female teacher wants to get to know new people, pets and places
Chica was a great sitter. She incredibly volunteered to arrive a day early to familiarize herself with my dog, Honey, home and the surrounding area. This was greatly appreciated and helped both of us since this was my first experience with Zeewoi. While I was gone she sent daily updates and pictures of Honey to me. Honey and Chica got along well and I think they had as good of time as I did on vacation. When I returned the house was in order so there was no catching up to do which again was very appreciated. Chica did a great job and both Honey and I look forward to her sitting for us in the future.
Katie
Dimondale, Michigan
Teacher/petsitter dreaming of making petsitting and traveling a reality!
When we select a sitter, we read every review in addition to conducting some sort of video interview. We really rely upon the experiences of past hosts, so that’s why I believe it important to be honest in this review. I love giving out 5 star reviews and do quite frequently, but I also need to share any less-than-positive experiences as well for those hosts who rely upon reviews such as we do. As such, I’m a bit ambivalent about writing this review of Katie, as there were some really good things Katie did while here. She is a lovely, energetic woman who responded immediately to the concerns I voiced to her during the time she watched our pets; however, the “negatives” we experienced speak to the heart of the importance of having a dedicated pet sitter. For the most part, our home was left tidy and neat – which is no small feat as ours is a large house and I appreciate the care Katie took in ensuring we walked into a clean home. That said, Katie failed to notice my dogs had urinated in both of their dog beds and on the floor of our downstairs office, which we believed happened in the first part of the sit and resulted in the downstairs smelling of stale urine. Further, because she didn’t notice the urine, my pets, when downstairs, had to either sleep on the bare floor or in wet beds, neither of which is a satisfactory option. Also, my dogs don’t generally urinate in the house as they have access to a doggie door, and this seemed more a sign of their distress or discomfort. I believe this incident was part of a larger problem I experienced with Katie and that was in the manner in which she approached this sit. I advertised dates of July 6 – July 22. We generally ask our sitters to come in a day or two early as to walk them through the schedule for both our animals and our many plants, as well as to give them time to get to know the animals and experience a little of the town we live in. We also provide a very detailed introduction and welcome guide which outlines our expectations. Katie came in late in the day on the 7th, without personal transportation, which necessitated us picking her up and then my neighbor taking her to a rental cart company the next day because we left very early on the morning of the 8th. This abbreviated introductory time didn’t allow us to fully prepare Katie for the sit and allowed for some apparent “misunderstandings.” The “issue” for me was for the first five days of our 13-day trip, Katie was away from the house for up to 13 hours at a time – leaving our two, older rescue dogs, who have some separation anxiety - alone and with an extended time between meals. It was clear Katie was using this opportunity to visit many of the beautiful areas which surround where we live – hence using our home as more of an Airbnb to vacation – than a house sit dedicated to caring for our animals. Our dogs are fine with being alone for up to six hours but even that, for multiple days in a row, is, frankly, distressing to our animals and to us, as owners. To Katie’s credit, when I called and brought her daily, extended time away to her attention and reiterated my wishes the dogs not be left for more than 6 hours, she changed her schedule and while still gone every day, capped her time away at six hours. And, as I said, she is cheerful and responsive; hence, the ambivalence is positing my concerns with this sit. I think if Katie is provided with very clear expectations prior to the sit and understands exactly what is needed and expected, she will absolutely deliver. For whatever reason, from the start, this sit was rushed, there appeared to be too many misunderstandings, and it ended up being frustrating for us in ways other sits have not been.
Brigid
Dimondale, Michigan
In God I trust. All creatures great and small, looking forward to meeting yours
This is the third time Brigid has cared for our cats and our house, and as always, she did a fabulous job. Our cats, especially Rosie, remember Brigid and are glad to see her. Rosie's feeding can be difficult, and Brigid takes extra care with her and keeps us informed of how she's doing. Emily is very shy, and Brigid knows how to work with her and respect her space. We greatly appreciate that because we know Emily is not hiding the entire time we're away. Brigid also takes great care of the house while we're away. We always return to a clean house, all the mail collected and in one place, and the indoor and outdoor plants properly watered. We are very grateful that we have connected with Brigid and her family members in the local area. We definitely will ask for her to house/pet sit for us again!
Lindsey
Dimondale, Michigan
Online Registered Nurse seeking to explore new areas and bond with animals
Lindsey was great! She left the house clean and organized and no concerns with that. My dog loved her and it went so well he didn’t have any behavior problems when I got back. Would definitely recommend and have her come back in the future.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Phil
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Diana
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would.
Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned.
I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
Joel and Esme
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!
Meghan
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Regina
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!
katie
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Nina
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Diane
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.
Erin
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Jim
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim

Our lab had a great time at Rosey’s! Shara met me for a meet and greet, showed me where my dog would be staying for boarding, and also booked a daycare day to ensure our dog would do well before booking a longer boarding stay in a new place. She answered all my questions and I never felt rushed. I felt the facility and quality time spent with our dog was above my expectations - a large fenced-in yard, an air conditioned barn where kennels are at, lots of doggie toys, and special one-on-one play time appear to be the norm at Rosey’s, I received photos and videos of our dog daily! The only negatives I can think of is having earlier drop off times for boarding would be helpful and this business is cash only and you pay in full before the service is completed. I get it, so whatever, but it’d give the customer peace of mind having a paper trail and it would be convenient to pay by check or card.
We just picked up our Husky from Roseys kennel, after spending a week in key west. I am beyond happy with the services she offered. She sent us updates everyday with photos and videos. Our husky never once looked sad. He got to interact with other dogs. This was our first time boarding him, and first time using Roseys. We will be back for sure. Thank you Roseys kennel for taking such good care of my handsome man while we were gone ♥️
I had seen Rosey's Kennel & Rescue recommended many times in a local community group. I contacted them for nail trims for my 2 cats and my dog and was able to schedule it for the next day! She came to my home which was nice and got the job done without any problems. Nice people and a good price. She was so good with my pets. I will definitely be scheduling all future nail trims with her.
The first time that I called to see about getting my dogs nails trimmed, Shara was able to do it that same day! The price was even better than I expected. She only charged me half the price of what the vet charges! Shara is such a sweetheart and she did an exceptional job with my Karma girl. I will be going back and would highly recommend her services to anyone! :)
We had Rosey's watch our dog Hannah last weekend for two days and was very happy with everything! Shara came over the week before for a meet and greet with Han and us and it went great. We got lots of pictures and videos of our Han while we were away and she looked so happy! Very glad to know she was in good hands while we were away. Rosey's does a great job making you feel like your pets are cared for and their prices are great. Will definitely call again!
I've always been leary about who I let watch my dogs because of issues one if them has had with fear of other dogs. Roseys came very highly recommended so I decided to try out her doggy daycare. I am SO glad I did!! Shara is amazing with animals. She shows so much love and care to her clients. She's helping my scared dog get used to other dogs again and they love pulling into the driveway knowing they get to play all day rather than sitting at home. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs boarding, or even a day away at daycare! She sends me pictures and videos all day so I know how they are doing. The prices are more than reasonable for the service and peace of mind she gives!!
Recently booked in home pet sitting and I am beyond impressed with their service! Shara went above and beyond taking care of my dogs. She sent updates and photos every day and treated my pups like they were her own. You can really tell she cares about the animals. I highly recommend Rosey’s to anyone!
I randomly met Shara at a store when I asked her about her jacket advertising Rosie's. She gave me a business card. Several weeks later, I found myself in need of an at home sitter for 24 hr care. I called Shara and luckily she was open and could fit us in. She came for a meet & greet visit and my 2 dogs and felt very comfortable right away. She's was very very good with them. While sitting, I was sent pictures of them playing and resting. My anxiety was instantly gone! My dogs thrived and happily were able to stay at home! As far as my house, Shara left it picked up and clean....you'd never know she was there. What a pleasant surprise. DONT HESITATE TO TRUST THIS WONDERFUL LOVING YOUNG LADY. She's very professional and yet down to earth caring, loving person. I thank God I ran into her that day at a store..I have several more out of town trips this year and will not hesitate to use Roseys Kennel and Rescue. Would give her 10 stars if I could! Grateful our paths crossed
We had a Great Experience with her! My dog is almost 8yrs old and has NEVER allowed anyone to trim his nails. She did it with little to no problem! Thank you for trimming all 3 dogs without hesitation. We will keep using her services!! Thank you again!! B. Green
I am temporarily housebound and Rosey came to me and clipped my dog’s horrendously long nails and for such a reasonable price! I’ve already set up a schedule for keeping them trimmed!

Paws-A-Playin' is the best. It is amazing to see how well a business can be run when it is the owner's passion. They love every pup who comes to stay with them. My daughter discovered this pooch paradise 5 years ago, when her golden was a puppy. I started bringing my Norfolk terrier when I moved to the area. They love it! We have had them go to both the day camp and the overnight stay and have been very happy with how well our dogs were cared for. The prices are competitive as well. You can't go wrong with Paws-A-Playin'.
Paws a playin has been a wonderful place for my dog to go. Jamie has been so welcoming and my dog is so excited to go every week! Highly recommend!
Paws-A-Playin' is simply the best! We have had Jamie and Randy watch our puppy several times now for doggy day camp and sleepover pawty's and I just can't imagine taking her anywhere else. They are affordable, but most importantly, our girl is so loved and well cared for during her stay. We know she plays with the other puppies ALL day long because when it is time to pick her up, she falls asleep in the car before we even leave the driveway and is exhausted the entire next day! I would recommend Paws-A-Playin' to anyone. Thank you Jamie and Randy!
Our Lab Mackinac loves going to Paws A Playin. They take such great care of her like she is their own. I LOVE looking at the photos on FB so I can see how the day is going and I enjoy reading the end of the day report cards. Jamie and Randy are great with communication and great to work with. :-)
Amazing, Wonderful, Caring, Loving, Kind. These are just a few words I would use to describe this absolutely amazing place! The people are beyond wonderful & our dog did so well!!! She loved it! Her adjustment took time but they took the time to work with her, texted me & the most amazing part is they post pictures so you can see your baby! 😍 HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Recently switched doggy day cares to Paws A Playin and I am soo happy I did. I have one super energetic dog and one dog that just wants to nap and Jamie and Randy have both treated my dogs like king and queens. We are so blessed to have found Paws A Playin.
Miss Jamie and Mr. Randy are amazing. Nowhere else will your dog get this amount of playtime and love from the owners of a daycare place!
Best place ever!!! My st bernard loves to go here. As soon as the car door opens she darting towards the stairs to go play. I love the Facebook/ Instagram photos they put up all throughout the day, And they are very reasonably price!
Amazing with animals my dogs had a amazing time playing. Jamie and randy are dog lovers who treat your pets like their own would hugely reccomend
Jamie & Randy are amazing! They are so passionate in what they do and love every dog they care for!

Julie and her team took the most excellent care of my dog for the past 3 years. They came by almost daily for afternoon walks and the odd overnight stay, and it became a highlight of my day to receive a daily photo and update on my dog's adventures with them. Cannot recommend them enough for their amazing care!
I have used Julie and her team for at least 20 visits over the last several months. They are excellent. My cats are always happy when I get home (a very good indicator. They give great updates on what is happening while I’m gone. In addition, the app they use for scheduling, payment and communication is so convenient. I really appreciate their service and am so happy that I found them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Prancing Poodle to anyone.
Julie and her team have been incredible! I had to start a new job that required a long commute and took me away from my lunch walks with my dog. Dog daycare fell through and I needed a solution in just a couple days. Julie quickly met with me and my dog for a consultation, and helped me sign up for services immediately. Siouxy, Mary, and Julie have all treated my dog with care far beyond my expectations! They walk her, play with her, give her fresh water and love. I couldn’t ask for more and truly grateful I found a trustworthy team to look after my dog on such short notice. I highly recommend this team to anyone looking for pet sitting, walking, or boarding services! * the app makes scheduling and paying for the requested pet services extremely convenient.
Prancing Poodle is a step above, or probably many steps above, other pet care services we’ve tried. Julie, the owner first came over to check out our place and our kitties, followed by a visit by Jacob, who would be providing the care, to also meet our boys and go over their care. The pet sitting while we were gone was outstanding, with Jacob really taking the time to get to know our kitties. He also sent thorough updates of each visit with some fantastic pictures. We finally feel like we can relax a little with regard to our pet care and better enjoy our time away knowing our babies will be well cared for. Everything can be set up, and paid for, through the TimeToPet app, and the updates come through the app as well. Very well run and professional organization. Highly recommended.
We recently moved from out-of-state with our two dogs, so finding a pet care provider was a big deal. We checked around with several different services and kennels before choosing Prancing Poodle. It was a great decision. We get incredible care and support for our 4-legged kids during the week when we're at work, as well as any time we travel. The dogs love Ms. Duke, which is a big deal to us. They're exceptional judges of character, after all. She is one of the most knowledgeable pet care providers I have ever met, and some of her care advice has been invaluable. If you want the best care for your pets when you can't be there yourself, then I highly recommend Prancing Poodle.
I don't normally take the time to fill-out surveys, let alone give a perfect score... but in this case it was fully warranted. Julie has found a wonderful niche for pet owners that care about their pets like their own kids. We couldn't bear to put our dog, Pepper, in a kennel for our son's wedding. Julie came to our home to walk and feed her and give her some companionship. She was such a great communicator and so dependable that we were totally at ease for this family event. Thank you Prancing Poodle!
Julie at Prancing Poodle Pet Care Services watched our 4 dogs while my husband and I were on a 2 week trip. It made our vacation much more enjoyable knowing that our dogs were in such good hands. She was very thorough in finding out everything about our dogs prior to our departure. During our trip, we received daily reports, which was reassuring. The house looked terrific upon our return and the dogs looked well cared for. I can't recommend PPPCS enough. Thank you, Julie!
We are incredibly grateful for Prancing Poodle as they have connected us with the most fabulous pet sitter, Sally! My husband and I have never needed pet sitting services before, so with our 3 & 5 year old Australian Shepherds, this was a new experience for all of us. The entire process was easy, and we feel confident that our dogs are treated well and taken care of while we are gone. Sally does drop-in visits 3-4x per week, and on occasion, has watched them for weekends here and there at our home. The dogs love her, she always sends updates/pictures, and most importantly, she always treats them with love. Thank you Prancing Poodle and Sally, we would give more than 5 stars if we could. We’d recommend this petting sitting service to anyone.
Julie has been providing exceptional care to my four cats for almost 3 years. Two of my cats need especial care due to age and other health conditions. She makes sure that all needs are covered and provides extra attention to my senior cat who is 19 years! I love her daily updates confirming cat feeding, box cleaning and their individual behavior. My cats love her. I will recommend Prancing Poodle Pet Care for any pet owner who wants professional and loving care.
Julie was wonderful. We have three animals; dog, cat, and house rabbit and were away for a month. Her level of care, service and professionalism were first class. Our rabbit needed medical care while away and we were at ease knowing she was there taking such good care of our 'crew' (and tending to our house plants). She drove our dog to daycare a couple of times a week, and our 'people' cat was well attended to. We were very impressed with Julie and would use her again without pause. She sends daily updates (notes, pics) and does what she says she will do as per her information given to clients. It was lovely to come back home to a clean house with happy, well looked after animals. Have already recommended her to a friend, and would unequivocally recommend her.
