Shirley left eveything as she found it. The cats seemed to do well while we were away.
Barbara
Gilead, Michigan
Responsible, mature remote worker with decades of animal care, garden experience
Barbara is a wish come true for any pet parent. From communication, to flexibility, to thoughtful questions to make sure she was giving Bruce the best care — she is the best house sitter I’ve ever worked with. Highly recommend.
Chris
Gilead, Michigan
Retired educators will provide ownership care
Chris and Barb were great pet and house sitters! Our dog Arthur was sad to see them leave and us arrive! They left our home even cleaner and tidier than when we left, and we appreciate all they did to look after Arthur.

Feel safe and secure about leaving your home and beloved pets in my care
Jake is wonderful. You can rest easy with him looking after your home and pets. He was a great communicator and obviously loves animals. It was a pleasure getting to know him.

Experienced, clean, and respectful: I will care for your pets and home as my own
Second time Julia sat for us and she was amazing! Super communicative, clean, and responsible. We are so grateful!! Highly recommend!
ROSELYN
Gilead, Michigan
Mature-Responsible-Dependable-Trustworthy-Caring! Home & Pets Safe & Secure!
Rosie was and is awesome! I will have her back whenever it works for both of us! Our house was in perfect shape. She handled things like dead batteries and a leaky litter box superbly. Sent me pictures. Communicated exactly the right amount. Was always responsive. I don't want anyone to know how good she is because you might entice her to your home when I want her here! Thank you so very much Rosie!
Kristen
Gilead, Michigan
Experienced, Reliable, Non-Smoking, Animal-Loving Family That Loves To Travel
Kristen & George were awesome with our cat Diego! We had just moved into a new place, so Diego was a bit shy and scared, but they took great care of him when he did finally come out. We felt comfortable while we were away that Diego was in safe and reliable hands!
Leslie
Gilead, Michigan
Reliable Duo: Loving your home and furry friends. Caring for both with respect.
Leslie and Jason were great! Our dog immediately felt comfortable with them when they arrived. They arrived a little early and quickly recognized that taking our dog out into the yard would make it much easier for us to pack up and leave, which was very much appreciated. They left the house in great condition and communicated well leading up to, and during the sit. We would be happy to have Leslie and Jason back anytime!
Elise
Gilead, Michigan
I'm a quiet, clean, responsible nurse (and animal lover).
(The English version follow) Tout était parfait avec Elise! Dès son entrée dans la maison, j'ai perçu son intérêt et sa douceur envers Anna et Boris. Elle s'est montrée très attentive à mes attentes et a posé de bonnes questions pour s'assurer de bien comprendre le fonctionnement à la maison. J'aurais aimé recevoir plus de nouvelles de Anne et Boris lors de mon absence. Je vais m'assurer que cet aspect soit plus clair lors de mon prochain gardiennage. La maison était super propre... au delà même de mes attentes !. Elise m'a même laissé des fraises fraiches et du chocolat pour mon retour. Quelle douce pensée ! Pour toutes ces raisons, je recommende chaudement Elise ! --------------------------------------- Everything was perfect with Elise! As soon as she entered the house, I felt her interest and gentleness towards Anna and Boris. She was very attentive to my expectations and asked good questions to make sure she understood how the house worked. I would have liked to receive more news from Anne and Boris during my absence. I will make sure that this aspect is clearer during my next house-sitting. The house was super clean... beyond my expectations! Elise even left me fresh strawberries and chocolate for my return. What a sweet thought! For all these reasons, I highly recommend Elise!
Kim
Gilead, Michigan
Responsible college professors - adore animals and experiencing new communities!
Kim, Chip and Stogie (their small Havanese which we agreed ahead of time was fine) did a great job caring for and entertaining my two dogs. They sent lots of pictures of the dogs playing and relaxing. Kept me up to date on a daily basis. Kim was very flexible about her arrival and departure times with was helpful for me. They left the house clean and neat. They ensured Edgar ate all his pills and fixed the dogs frozen peanut butter treats each night. They did an outstanding job and I would be glad to have them back anytime.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Janie
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!

This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.

I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
KOLBY
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!

My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
Inma
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!

Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!

Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Francine
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.

Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!

Our fur babies home away from home! Christin is such a wonderful trainer, her pawsitivity course is great and sets everyone up for success! Their boarding isn’t just drop and kennel, they give your dogs a stay vacation.
We have been taking our puppy Oreo to comfy critters since we brought her home. She is over a year old now and Christin's training is the very best. Any dog that she meets will be learning within minutes. Oreo has been to her puppy kindergarten class learning how to interact with other dogs and not be so influenced by out side distractions. Even the very basics seemed so easy for her to learn. Her positive reinforcement training make her so much more calm even though she is still going through her puppy age. She is learning to be a service dog for my wife and seems to be much more receptive and listening to her instructions. I would recommend anyone looking for training or boarding check out comfy critters pet services. We have boarded both Oreo and my daughters dog any there several times the kennels are the very best. Always clean and each dog has personal interaction and the best care. there are several outside activity areas the indoor areas are heated and air conditioned every pet there receives this very professional care
Comfy critters is the only place we will take our dogs for training. Christin is so patient with both the animals and handlers and is always willing to help and guide you in person, through phone call or messages. She does such an amazing job on educating you on the signs your dogs are giving, and what behaviors are being reflected. We can’t say enough about how amazing everyone is. You always feel welcomed and encouraged by everyone involved.
I think our dogs loved boarding here! I was a bit nervous since they’re older and this was their first boarding experience. But it was like a vacation for them ! I loved following along & seeing their experiences shared on Facebook. 🐶 Gave me great piece of mind to see them having so much fun. Thank you Comfy Critters team!! …
Ashley did my chocolate labrador, and my German Shepherd. My Shepherd is high energy, and not a fan of having her nails done. Also, she sheds like any other GSD. Both dogs came back happy and calm. Their coats were shiny and smelled wonderful, but only if I got close and sniffed. I love that the smell was light. Nails are perfect, and, unlike some other groomers, she did NOT cut the quik on ANY of their nails. My GSD had no loose hairs. She hasn't been shedding, so I know she got a very thorough brush out. Highly recommended!!!
As my daughter watched her whole life and my grandchildren’s lives, go up in flames! She ran head first into their burning home to try and save the two members of their family, who were still trapped inside! When I was able to get to her home, it was evident that their dog named D.O.G. Who was approaching almost twenty years old, was not doing well at all! The newest member, an Irish Setter named Loki was also showing signs of smoke inhalation and coughing a ton! As I called to try to get ANY Vet in town or the surrounding area, to look at and treat these animals, as my daughter was trying to deal with the over whelming feelings of loss! I soon found that unless you have $3000 in your pocket! You can not get emergency help for your “pet.” They are family to most people who have one! The next day as the one and only emergency vet in the southwest area, announced they would need another grand to keep the one dog another day! Unfortunately my daughter lost the eldest dog! I started calling around for alternatives. Christine Benoit ended up being a god send! Not only does she have some of the best boarding kennels I have seen! But the animals she takes on, all seem to be so happy and show their joy and instant connection with Chrissy! The animals seen to instinctively be drawn to her! Not only did Loki start learning from her almost the minute we arrived. But due to her trainings and certifications. She also had the necessary skills to know that Loki still had something wrong that the emergency vet did not even seem to treat! Due to his long hair, the family had not seen that he had actually suffered a burn on one of his hind quarters and the worthless vet had not even given it basic treatment! But due to Chrissy and her training, she again saved my family from ensuring another loss!
Had the best experience with our fur baby’s! It’s a full blown dog resort!!
Amazing dog care.
