Andrea
Garfield, Michigan
Two travel crossed lovers embarking on a year-long road trip!
This was my first experience with zeewoi and I am sold! Andrea excelled at communicating. We met prior to her sit so we could review the house, the pet and everything involved. She kept in touch with me every day I was gone with photos and texts. She even taught my guy to retrieve, something I was never able to accomplish! On my return my boy was clearly well taken care of, as was my house. I would love to have her stay with us again.
Kara
Garfield, Michigan
Traveling mermaid with feet who can’t wait to spoil your fur babies.
Kara was exceptionally trustworthy and attentive to my home/pet. It was an added feeling of comfort and safety to have my home and pet in such great hands-very grateful!
Betsy
Garfield, Michigan
Single woman, 4 children, 7 grandchildren, retired operating room nurse
Not all dog lovers can care for the large breed dogs. You can't just pick them up to fix a problem. And they tend to drool. Betsy was just marvelous with Byron. He likes to get out to walk or ride around in the car. He is a nosy thing. Betsy was able to find his best self. She sent lots of pictures. The house looked the same as we left it. I could not ask for more. We appreciated all she did to allow us to take a vacation without worry.
Randy
Garfield, Michigan
Responsible retired librarians ready to sit for you!
Randy took great care of our two dogs and kitten while we were away!! He was communicative, kind, and kept me in the loop. We came home to happy pets and a clean house. You’d be lucky to have him!
Stacy
Garfield, Michigan
Lover of travel and animals is ready to get back out into the world
Stacy and Chris were the best house/dog sitters we could have hoped for. When we first met via video chat Stacy was very thorough in asking questions and it was clear she really prioritized the health and safety of our dogs. She immediately put me at ease for my first experience using this platform. While we were away, Stacy and Chris were wonderful with our dogs and taking care of our house, as well as very accommodating of our travel plans when it came to arrival and departure times. They made friends with our dogs right away (including the skittish one who usually takes a few days) and were great about walking them and letting them out at regular intervals. The dogs didn't even have any indoor accidents, which doesn't always happen even when we are home. Stacy also sent us pictures and updates about the dogs each day we were gone. It was the perfect amount of contact to let us know that our dogs and house were well taken care of. We knew we didn't have to worry about anything while we were away. In terms of the house, they were more than willing to help with maintenance, like bringing in packages, taking out the trash, and even sending me a picture of a recipe I forgot to bring with me. Our trip was so much more relaxing knowing that Stacy and Chris were taking such good care of things. When we returned home our house was spotless and the dogs seemed very happy. The only problem is that I think the dogs might miss them! I would absolutely recommend Stacy & Chris as sitters. We've had many different experiences with sitters in the past and this has been one of the best. Stacy and Chris proved themselves to be extremely reliable and trustworthy, as well as people who really care for and treat animals right.

Appreciate wonderful attention for Tabby and gentle care of our home!
Jill
Garfield, Michigan
Retired High School Teacher loves to travel, play tennis, & find new fur pals
Jill was fantastic with our two elderly cats! She took excellent care of them. Jill is a very upbeat and energetic person who seems to enjoy life and is especially good with figuring things out on her own. She would be welcomed in anyone’s home.
Tanya
Garfield, Michigan
Professional Pet Care with 19 years of experience in the pet care industry.
We totally bonded with both Tanya and Fred. Aside from taking perfect care of our dog Tucker, they took full advantage of the beauty and sites in Albuquerque. We felt that we had a lot in common with them and we shared in each other’s interests. They took Tucker on his usual walks and then some. We returned to our home in great shape and a happy dog! We would invite Tanya and Fred back any time they want to come and will certainly reach out to them to see if they are interested in another dog sit and opportunity to visit New Mexico. Thanks to you both!
Alan
Garfield, Michigan
Retired Fiduciary (trusted lifelong) and Adjunct Professor - Animals love us.
Alan and Inna took the time to come to my house for a meet and greet prior to my trip which makes it so much easier to go over the house and pet’s routines, along with getting to know each other and them getting to know my pets. It also helped me to be more comfortable and relaxed prior to leaving. While I was gone Alan and Inna took great care of my 3 cats and dog. They kept me updated on how everything was going while I was away and sent cute pictures. Alan went above and beyond when it was raining, and he noticed my front porch gutters needed cleaned, so he took care of it. It was a tough time for me and my dog Bella since we had just lost my 9-year-old dog to cancer days before leaving on the trip. Alan and Inna were very comforting and understanding of our sadness. I highly recommend them.
Jennifer
Garfield, Michigan
We’d love to love on your fur and/or not so furry babies. We don’t discriminate.
Jenn & her girls are the ABSOLUTE BEST!! They will take great care of your home, pets & plants. Highly recommend her! She was great for us, and we appreciated her help. :)
Reviews from Cat Owners
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!
Adrienne
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Alexis
Elisabeth was an excellent sitter for our cat. We were away for two weeks and received daily photos and notes from her about Catman's activities (i.e., sleeping and eating). She is definitely a cat lover and that was evident from our cat's calm behavior when we returned.
Marcia
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
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!
Will
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
Katie
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!

My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Paola
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
Deb
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!

Jared is excellent! He's watched my dogs a few times and has completely eliminated any worries I have about traveling without them. He is ridiculously fast to respond to texts and the pictures he sends during their stay are nice reassurances that they are happy and doing well. He's got a nice fenced-in yard and his dog Charlie has been playful and kind to my small dogs. It's seriously crazy to me how fast he is to respond to texts. Your dog(s) is/are in great hands with Jared!
Jared was great! His communication was wonderful and flexibility much appreciated. He has a great fenced in yard that I know our dogs enjoyed very much as they are never really on leash. One of our dogs has recently developed severe anxiety while at a kennel and I was worried that Jared might have an issue but he handled everything very well and said she was not stressed at all while with him!
Jared and Charlie were great. We came up to Traverse for a long weekend with our Basset Gus and knew that there would be some places that we wouldn't be able to take him. We didn't want to leave him in a strange place in his crate all by himself. I found TC Tails/Jared's info online and contacted him. He is very responsive and was very accommodating. We only did drop-in for the one day for about 5 hours so we could go to lunch and do some shopping. Jared was very flexible with the times. Gus was very nervous at first but Jared sent me a video of him and Charlie running and playing in the yard. I felt so much better. He had so much fun playing and slept really good when we got back to the cottage. I would absolutely recommend Jared for boarding and definitely would take Gus there again. Thank you again Jared and Charlie!
Absolutely thrilled with my recent dog boarding experience! Jared was fantastic with my golden retriever during the three days he stayed. He provided plenty of love, playtime, and attention, making my pup feel right at home. I couldn't have asked for a better caretaker—highly recommend! Five stars!
If you need pet sitting or dog boarding in Traverse City, TC Tails & Jared is the best! Jared was wonderful on all aspects. We had some interesting travel plans that changed a couple times and Jared was very accommodating from the start. He's very communicative and friendly. Our 2 huskies stayed at his house for 5 days, he has a perfect backyard set-up for dogs, fully fenced in (huskies are escape artists) that was very secure and he seemed to let them find their spots inside as they wanted when it was time to rest. Our dogs are used to finding comfy spots around the house and Jared let them treat his home like it was what they were used to. We got picture and video updates along the way letting us know how they were doing. Jareds dog Charlie was super sweet and you can tell he loves all people and dogs, our boys loved being around him and even got one of our dogs that doesn't play/socialize much to play with him. It made us very happy with our choice to use Jared for our boarding needs, couldn't recommend him more. We've had hit or miss experiences with pet sitters and dog boarding in the past, Jared is the best by far. Thank you!
Jared and Charlie are great! We have a 10 month old Doberman. This was our first time leaving her. We stopped over prior to staying to see if it would be a good fit and she loved it!! She’s an extremely high energy dog and she was well taken care of for her 1 night stay! Jared sent updates and videos which was great!
My dog is terrified around men. Jared definitely went above and beyond, making sure she felt comfortable around him, and making sure I felt comfortable leaving her. She felt right at home in no time and that alone speaks volumes. I cannot recommend Jared enough!
Jared was wonderful and trustworthy, taking such good care of Tala (husky- mini bulldog mix) while we stayed at Great Wolf Lodge. Tala had a lot of fun with friendly Charlie and playing chase in Jared’s big backyard. Jared’s communication was great and booking, drop off, and pick up were easy and convenient too. Highly recommend Jared and would definitely do again!
Jared was awesome!! He was super flexible with meeting up beforehand and accommodating to my plans as my times for pick up and drop off shifted a bit. This was my second time leaving Rory with a dog sitter and I know she was in good hands. He texted updates and kept in touch. She has been sleeping since we got home so I know she had a blast and played hard😁 Jared (and Charlie) were amazing and I’ll definitely be booking with him again.
TC Tails watched my little Yorkshire Terrier, Boone, for the weekend. I was nervous to leave Boone as he is anxiety prone and can be high maintenance. However, TC Tails instantly put me at ease! TC Tails was extremely attentive to Boone and all of his quirks! I received constant updates and pictures of Boone during his stay with TC Tails. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that Boone was with a confident and experienced caregiver! I would definitely use TC Tails again!

Megan is wonderful with my fur children and is incredible. She helped me out so much when I rescued Molly, who suffers with separation anxiety. My fur children love seeing her and it is such a good feeling knowing that they are being cared for and loved. I highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs!!
Megan does a fantastic job with our pets. I completely trust her, she always communicates clearly, and she is very flexible when our dates sometimes change. I have no question that when we are gone, our pets will have the care they need.
My husband, son, and I vacationed in Traverse City recently for a wedding and had to bring our energetic boxer who obveously couldn't attend and we didn't feel comfortable leaving him at the hotel alone for hours. I found Pooch and Purrs website and decided to contact Megan in regards to having her watch Mac. Upon meeting Megan and her family, I knew that our dog would be in great hands and we could enjoy our family wedding! Megan sent me pictures throughout the evening, and my family and I could tell that Mac was relaxed, loved, and having a good time with their beautiful golden retriever . I would definately ask Megan again to watch Mac as well as recommend her to anyone! Thanks Megan for taking such good care of our fur baby!
Megan takes care of my cats when I am on vacation. She is very organized and reliable. She comes every day, does the food and litter, and cuddles with my kitties for awhile. She also brings in the mail and walks through the house to make sure nothing is wrong. I don't know what I would do without Megan. I hate leaving my babies, but I know they are safe with her.
Pooch and Purr is the best! Megan has been our go-to pet sitter for the past several years. The cats look forward to her visits! She spends quality time with them at each visit and does an amazing job of reporting to us through email or texts about how they are getting along during our absence. I highly recommend Pooch and Purr. Kathy Gray
Excellent!!!! Megan always takes great care of my pets when I am out of town for work. She makes sure my dogs are calm, comfortable and happy. I can tell how much she loves animals!
Megan treats my dog like her own. Her professionalism, experience and insights have been a comfort to our pooch and our family. I highly recommend her!
I love! love! love! Megan! She is timely, helpful beyond measure and very connected to animals. I wouldn't have made it through the first year with my puppy without her help.
The best for so many reasons. Very reliable. Been around for years. Easy to deal with tons of references. Prices are great. We are lucky to have these guys in the area.
Professional, dependable, kind, and amazing. A true animal lover and dog whisperer. I can always relax knowing Megan is taking care of my fur babies while I’m at work or on vacation.

I cannot share enough about how amazing Tara and her staff are. We have a special needs pug with limited mobility. Tara and her staff welcomed our dog with so much love and care. He was well taken care of during his week long stay and it gave us great peace of mind. The facility is spotless and well kept. We can’t wait to use Aunt Tara’s again!
Tara was absolutely wonderful! We had traveled to the area with our 3 year old chocolate lab. Our pup wae not getting along with her pup cousins and we needed a place last minute for boarding. Tara worked our dog in. Upon check in we were immediately put at ease. She assured us our dog would be well cared for. Our dog takes daily pills and she was able to administer them. When we picked up our dog she was happy and healthy. Overall, it was an amazing experience. I highly recommend Tara and her staff.
Aunt Taras' is fantastic ❤️, our dogs were well taken care of, they did good, especially since it was the 1st time we left them anywhere. I'd definitely let them stay there again.
I highly recommend Aunt Tara's for boarding your dog. Whenever I leave my dog there, I can rest assured that Rocky is well taken care of. Tara is not just the owner, she is also the caregiver for the dogs. She treats them as she treats her own dog. Aunt Tara goes above and beyond! My dog gets a vacation at the same time as my family. Additionally, the facility is clean and well maintained.
My dogs have always loved Aunt Tara's for their away from home needs. Everyone is so VERY kind and thoughtful. My dog returns home happy and healthy.
Tara was awesome and worked with us to board our dogs for a friends wedding.
Aunt Tara is the best! Highly recommend boarding your pups here.

Julie was absolutely amazing!! She has watched my dog, kitties and rabbit while I was out of town. My dog has been a little fearful to new faces but he LOVED her!! She gave a tremendous amount of needed feedback to help the family understand him and give him what he needs. So far beyond thankful for her and what she offers. A lot of love, patience and a whole lotta knowledge! She truly genuinely cares!! Thank you Julie!
Julie is amazing! Her genuine love for all animals and knowledge of their care and needs makes her the perfect pet sitter! We loved the daily text updates and our pets loved all the extra time she spent with them. If they could speak they would ask for her by name!
Julie spent the weekend spoiling our two Labradoodles. They were loved and so well cared for that leaving them with her, was a stress free experience. Julie’s passion for animals shines through in her personal care and safety of our dogs. We had a wonderful experience, as did our pups, and will definitely be calling “Aunt Julie” again!
I would like to take this opportunity to say what an absolute pleasure it was having Julie take care of my cat Lucy. She did an absolutely glorious job and way exceeded my expectations. She would send me daily pictures or videos. She and Lucy would have spa days! She literally gave Lucy attention 24 seven and it was such a pleasure knowing that my cat was in excellent hands. She did such a great job, Lucy misses her! Amazing job Julie’
Julie took fabulous care of our two dogs in our home over Thanksgiving week. We will ask her to do it again and will be able to have no worries about their wellbeing. I enthusiastically recommend her for your pet care needs.
