Cat Sitting in Vicksburg

Truly the best dog boarding facility around! I love how close to home they are and am always at ease knowing Boone is well taken care of. Fairly priced, accommodating & the Facebook posts are always something we look forward to!

We heard great things about Michigander Kennels- and took our two dogs there without issue initially. Though the owner wasn’t overly friendly, we were reassured by hearing endorsements from people we trust. The last and final time we took our girls there, we quickly discovered upon returning home that one of our dogs had multiple bite marks. My husband called the owner and he took no accountability. Said there are brief periods of time the dogs are unsupervised when they are all playing together when he runs to go get this or that and admitted to having no cameras in the area they are all playing. He suggested that because we kenneled our dogs together- that our other dog is likely the culprit of giving our dog these bite marks. Mind you- our dogs have never had a history of aggression, hurting each other, or biting each other. If this was the case- why didn’t he separate them? Or reach out to us and say, “hey the dogs are stressed in the kennel together- getting agitated with each other are you ok if I separate them?” There was no effort on his part to keep our girls safe. Or even apologize that this happened in his care. Our dogs are like our babies - and we were absolutely devastated that something like this happened at what we thought was a reputable place. Needless to say, we will not be back. The owner didn’t even offer to cover the vet bill or give us our money back for the weekend stay. We took her to the vet and she was prescribed antibiotics due to the multiple wounds. Very disappointed in how this situation was handled and the lack of accountability or compassion that was showed. Would not recommend this business.

Michigander Retrievers Boarding is absolutely amazing! We left our pup there for 8 days and she loved it. She got to play with the other dogs while she was there! Halfway through our trip, we even got pictures of her playing with them. When I dropped her off, I got to see where the dogs stayed. The facility is great, and very clean! We highly recommend them if you need to board your dogs!

We have always been very hesitant to board our dogs, as our dogs are our babies. I have always had my parents watch our dogs when we are out of town, but they live in Traverse City, and driving our dogs there and back was getting tedious. Therefore, I was on the look out for a good spot for our dog. Michigander Kennel’s had a great indoor and outdoor space and they treated our Milo with the kindness we would want when we are out of town. Michigander kennel had great recommendations from my coworkers and I am so glad we have a local space to trust with our baby.

Friendly staff and clean facilities with heated floors, cots and outdoor playtime. This was the first time we boarded our two dogs and Michigander Kennels made for a great experience! My two dogs came home happy, healthy and well cared for. As a bonus, every Saturday they post photos of the dogs!

Our pup is very friendly to people but is not comfortable around other animals. Michigander Boarding didn’t even bat an eye about it and reassured us that she would be well taken care of! They shared photos of her outside as well as worked with me as my pickup plans changed at the end of our trip! They were very accommodating and I would take her back in a heartbeat if we ever ran into a situation where we need to board her again!

Noone else gets my dog. Ken runs an excellent kennel. My dog comes home happy and we'll exercised. If you hate having anyone else watch your dog, try this kennel. They will post pics of your dog having a good time with new friends while you do you.

Great facility and owners! Love the pictures of the doggies, to see them happily playing in the yards, while they are visiting. We even got a homemade puppers Valentine this year and a photo spot in the calendar! Thanks for all you do to make their stay wonderful, and put our minds at ease leaving them.

This was the first time we boarded our 3 y/o shepherd mix rescue, Riley. We had viewed pictures of other “campers” on their Facebook page which gave us comfort on how happy & well cared for the dogs are. From the time we made the reservation, dropping her off & viewing her on the page while we were traveling, and then ultimately picking her up; it was a 5-star A+ experience! We also opted for the bath the night before pickup! She even received a “report card” which set our minds at ease that she had eaten & behaved. The last time we went out of town our son took care of her and she didn’t eat & was depressed. I think she was too busy to realize we we were gone this time. Thanks Ken & Kristen for a fabulous first of many experiences for Riley. You are doing what you love and it definitely shows in your successful business!! You are our one & only choice!

Aside from the boarding this family also trains for various hunting skills with dogs, along as breeds. In the beginning we was impressed with them. We purchased a puppy from one of their litters and when then time came we took the pup back to be trained for duck hunting skills. They had her for approx 5 months. When we met for the return is when the disappointment set in. The gentleman told my husband the dog had a mind of her own and that he HATED her! What? This is a pup from your own litter.... after taking her home I was livid. We had vet appointment to have her examined, to find ticks, tick bites wounds from the training and calloused knees and ankles. Something the vet said he’s never seen on a puppy this young. (Eleven months). The vet was honest with us that it looked like there was no love given, obviously and felt sad for our family being so loving with our animals to have our pup returned to us in this condition. Since being home we have coddled her with love and attention with training that we are learning on you tube. Should have done this first. Needless to say, we have not heard back from this family even after we shared how disappointed we was. There are so many more, better, focused, not vacationing during training, trainers out there. Please do your research, for the love of your pup!

We have used Gillette for many years and our dogs are well cared for. The staff is accommodating and friendly. Our current dog seems excited to be there and leaves us willingly. We were surprised when we picked him up this time that he desperately needed to relieve himself. He peed for over 60 seconds and deficated a large amount before he would get in the car. And, 3 more times that afternoon. I don't know if there was a staffing problem or if he chose to do this or it was just a fluke.

Our dog gets super excited whenever we drop him off here. The staff love animals and you can tell by the way they remember his name and are visibly excited to see him. Our putbull has had nothing but good experiences staying here. We find the pricing reasonable as well.

We enjoyed taking our large dog to Gillette Kennels when we travelled. The staff was caring and he came back exhausted each time.

Top notch, high standards. Always smells clean in the lobby, the kennels outside are very clean. The staff is friendly and love animals. They are safe when handling my girl. She gets excited when we pull in to drop her off. Kirk did some training with my dog when she was a puppy, as well. His techniques work well.

Everyone there is very professional and friendly. You can tell they really enjoy working there. The animals are in good, caring hands. Their facility is clean, even in the kennel area. Boarding school dogs are worked with love. It's very apparent the trainers are good at what they do. The owner, Kirk is extremely professional and knows how to effectively run the place.

If I could, I would give negative stars. The first thing to know is that unless you pay $6 per playtime (15 mins), they do not take the dogs out of their kennels AT ALL, which is absolutely horrific. They stay in a cage all day long. When I originally called to get information on a typical day, I was very misled about how the dogs are handled each day - I was told they have multiple playtimes for 15 mins at a time. No one ever told me that each time they are given time to play, you pay $6. So, upon picking him up, we were shocked to hear that we owed $100 more than we expected. We never actually formally requested the playtime; they just did it themselves -- we only called to see how he was doing and when we heard he was only let outside his kennel for a handful of minutes a day, I asked if he could have more time to play, and they agreed. Again, not knowing there was an ADDITIONAL cost. I would have never taken my dog to a place that is so inhumane to animals, where they are kept locked up all day long. If you love your dog, do NOT use this boarding facility.

Clean facility, courteous staff and our dogs appear enthusiastic when we drop them off. The kennel's and runs are an appropriate size for our medium to large dogs. The staff show a fondness for the dogs in their care.

Allie loves it there and they love having her. I knkw I have one less thing to worry about when Allie is there because I knkw she's in good hands.

After staying for just 1 weekend my dog fell sick. When I went to pick up the dog they had no clue when or if they had fed the dog. They almost never pick up the phone when you call. Don't punish your pet by sending here.

I would recommend boarding and training here. Staff is always friendly and takes the time to get to know your animals to make them feel comfortable. Facilities are always clean and cared for. Kirk Gillette is an amazing trainer and extremely knowledge about dogs. This is the only boarding and training place I will use or recommend to anyone. Thank you, Gillette Kennels!

Jordan and all the members of the team at C9C did an amazing and thorough job of caring for our doggo Bowser while we were out of town. The peace of mind knowing that he was able to spend the day and nights we were away in his home and not at some strange kennel was amazing. The team were outstanding, respectful of our space, sent pictures, updates and most importantly cared for and looked after Bowser. So happy to know there is a group of professionals who can help us when we need to leave town. Would definitely recommend! Thank you all again!

We had the best time working with Jordan. I was at a stalemate in training with my dog, as he is a rescue and had an unknown history that caused him to be fearful and disconnected. Jordan helped me understand Walter’s thought process, and we were able to build trust with each other. We started with trick training in order to get a foundation of positive training, and we will be back for more obedience training. My schedule doesn’t allow for weekly classes, and Jordan was very understanding of my schedule. I have a happier and more engaged dog, and I owe a lot of that to Jordan helping me understand his thought processes and instincts.

They do a wonderful job! Nicole, Lauren and Lily did an excellent job caring for our sweet kitty Rain. They also take the best pictures and play with your kitty to keep them entertained. I 100 percent would recommend them to anyone needing cat or dog sitting!

We had an amazing experience with Cloud 9 Canine Dog Training! Jordan was incredibly helpful in training our dog. She used a consultative approach, carefully analyzing the distractions that were causing undesirable behavior. Jordan's patience with both us and our dog was remarkable. We appreciated the variety of training sessions, which took place at our home, in public, and at their facility. This allowed us to see how our dog responded in different environments. Thanks to Jordan and Cloud 9 Canine, our dog has made fantastic progress!

We have done a puppy class + 1:1 services with Jordan and have nothing but positive things to say. Jordan was knowledgeable and passionate about helping our dog with some odd behaviors and being better on a leash and we really liked that she used root cause analysis to figure out the underlying issues behind his behaviors. We would highly recommend her services!

Cloud 9 did an amazing job with all of my pets. I really felt like my pets were taken care of. We got extremely detailed reports every time they stopped by and they went above and beyond what we expected. I often get nervous leaving my animals with someone I don’t really know but after our meet and greet, I immediately felt like they were in good hands. Would definitely recommend them.

Cloud 9 Canine team is the best! My dog has taken a few training classes with them. They provide lots of information to continue training once the classes are over not to mention they check in to see how my dog is doing. They also provide exceptional pet care services!

Highly recommend! They have been walking my dog for a couple months and have been such a wonderful company to work with. They go above and beyond and all of their staff are reliable and great with my pup. The visit reports brings a smile to my face because they give adorable details and include pictures each time! You can tell this is a group of animal-lovers who care about their clients and I am so glad to have found Cloud 9 Canine to help out with my dog

Cloud 9 Canine is awesome! Great service; love getting the photos and videos with the visit feedback. I know my fur baby is well cared for and getting lots of love. I have worked with the team for almost a year, since I adopted my fur baby. I highly recommend Cloud 9 Canine if you need services for your fur baby!!

I’ve been so happy with the care of staff and treatment for my Melanie. Patience and understanding to meet your fur baby needs! She really has excelled. Plus, the staff does their best to accommodate emergencies too! Thank you! Highly and over joyed! I know, my Melanie is in beyond excellent care! Appreciate you all! Plus, all the photos and details from Enrichment classes and Pet Taxi Service 🐶!

The Out & Abouts offered by Creatures Pet Care are great for my dog, Nora!! She goes to places she’s never been, & is challenged with new smells, new things to see, new people…& this is so good for her!! I love the way Tami gives me a detailed report on how Nora is doing/did - complete with pictures!! Nora is in the best hands possible!! I love Creatures Pet Care!!

Creatures Pet Care has not only improved my pitbull's behavior, they have helped me and Beatrice Sweetie establish a trusting relationship. Their services are an essential investment for me.

We have used Creatures Care the last couple of years to care for our furbabies for everything from weeklong crosscountry vacations, to quick, last minute weekend trips. I am so grateful we found a group we can trust with our cats and dog. My cats are super picky, and one has medical issues requiring daily medication. Danielle and Libby have taken such good care of all of them. The updates each visit provide tons of peace of mind. We regularly refer our friends and family to them!

We got a recommendation to try Creatures Pet Care after one of our pups had a bad time during a kennel stay. They were absolutely amazing, sharing photos and all of the activities they did during staff visits. It brought us such peace of mind to know our dogs were cared for at home and not just that, they also received constructive play time and best of all, lots of love. This is a fantastic service with wonderful staff and a great system for scheduling and providing updates!

I have been impressed by the professionalism and qualifications of Creatures Pet Care. In particular, we appreciate the daily text and photo updates, record keeping system, and their responsiveness to requests. Tami has been great about never assigning a new sitter that we haven't met and approved. Erin has been an excellent addition to the team for cats 😺. Creatures Pet Care is a tad more expensive than my previous pet sitters, but they're definitely worth the price.

I would highly recommend Creatures Pet Care to anyone looking for high quality, compassionate, pet-loving providers. Tami does an excellent job with our 8yr. old mini goldendoodle. Her professionalism & patience alleviates any concerns we have while away. Our dog is given so much love & “pampering”; the photo updates are great too! Very grateful to have found Creatures Pet Care, and Tami!

Tami and Abbey are simply the best. On the initial meeting our very reactive dog immediately warmed up to Tami. I knew we made the right choice when I saw this. They send you lots of pictures and give you a full report during their drop in visits. They truly love and care for our pups as if they are their own.

Tami is knowledgeable and professional. She took great care of my pet when I was out of town. She makes sure she communicates and she sends pictures of how things are going. Her web site works very well. I recommend Creatures Pet Care highly!! You can have confidence that everything will go as described and your pets will have great care.

Creatures Pet Care, especially Tami, are absolutely wonderful! Tami has been coming about once a week for a little over a year to do training walks and let outs for our dog and we’ve had nothing but the best experience. They send the best updates and photos and it’s so nice knowing we have dedicated, professional, reliable, and knowledgeable people taking care of our dog and getting him exercise on days he has to be alone long. Also, when he was just doing training walks, we saw a difference in how he walked on a leash even after one or two walks! To top it all off, we brought a foster dog into our home only a few days before one let out visit with our dog and I reached out to Tami seeing if there was any issue with two dogs as opposed to one, knowing it was last minute, and I would’ve completely understood if this wasn’t something she could do. Tami assured me with no hesitation that it was not a problem at all and when the day came that she did the let out with both of them, I admittedly was nervous because both dogs are still somewhat puppies with a lot of energy and still getting used to each other and their playing styles and I knew deep down they’re much more work than the normal let outs she was used to. Low and and behold, the check in update and photos came and it was a breath of fresh air that everything went great and that she genuinely seems like she truly enjoys her time with our dog(s). I can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for someone to check in on/take care of your pets when you’re away!

Creatures Pet Care of Kalamazoo has my highest recommendation. Tami has provided ongoing professional, efficient and effective strategies for working with the training needs of our family and our sweet (and easily stimulated) pup. Our family is having so much fun, is learning so much and is finding it rewarding to implement the recommended training that meet the needs of our dog. The positive changes that Tami has helped implement were apparent quickly, are building and will be lasting. We're so thankful to be working with Creatures Pet Care of Kalamazoo!

This daycare has been a huge help for us. Our girl loves going on her days and is literally yipping with excitement when we turn in, then forgets about me and runs in when they answer the door. She comes back happy and tired from playing with her friends all day. They all are always so friendly and polite. Can’t thank them enough.

Shannon and the crew at Wiggles, Waggles, and Tails are amazing!!!!! Our dog, Stabler gets so excited to go and play with his friends. He has separation anxiety, but not there! He runs in the door and can’t wait to play with his friends. The staff take such great care of him, and it puts our minds at ease. We love Wiggles, Waggles, and Tails!! Best doggie daycare in town!!!!

I love this place and so do my puppies, Paisley & Patton. They get so excited when we pull into the parking lot in the morning, they can hardly contain themselves. They have so many doggie friends and the staff is always sending me the sweetest pictures of my babies. I can't say enough about the owner and her staff, I just love them. I know that when I drop them off, they are well cared for, loved, and most of all, having a fun-filled and happy day. So grateful to have them so close by as well. I highly recommend them to everyone!

Shannon and her staff are wonderful. They were very accommodating when I had to find daycare really fast after taking in a deceased family member's dog. Elvis is elderly and does not appreciate other dogs getting in his face. They went above and beyond to accommodate his needs and make sure he is happy when he is there. They are always super nice to Elvis. He has very bad separation anxiety, but he comes home from WWT happy as a clam. He does not have any drooling incidents while there either. Thank you Shannon and your staff for everything you do for Elvis.

I really do wish Google had a way to verify information prior to allowing just anyone to leave a review that directly affects a small business that works their hearts out to provide the best care possible. Primarily leaving this to respond to the 1 star review that wished she could leave a zero. Your review was not based on facts unfortunately, First, the date you boarded with WW&T was June of 2021 (not 2022), seems odd to me that this is just now coming up over 2 years after your experience? Second, In the records Camden was the name of the Yorkshire terrier you put on your paperwork (not Murphy). Third, Your call today was answered and when staff tried everything they could to answer your questions but could not due to you talking over the nice young man who answered the phone. Fourth, you commented that Camden’s bed was full of shards of particle board, WW&T doesn’t have particle board or anything similar that would leave shards of wood products in the bedding. The Owner would never under any circumstances place your belongings outside the door and refuse to speak with you or any of WW&T’s customers she values so much. When you called You refused to speak with the owner who sincerely wanted to address your concerns herself but couldn’t due to your request not to speak with her so she worked by the young man’s side to get information on your previous visit. The owner has in the past spent countless hours and many thousands of dollars on the WW&T family of four legged babies who attend daycare or board with us and has never asked for a penny of reimbursement outside the agreed upon rate. Some might say that’s the cost of doing business and that’s fine but it truly is more than just that. Inaccurate Reviews like this make her question if she has made the right decision to chase her dream of spending 60-70hrs a week with all the dogs she loves. There is no question in my mind or many of her loyal customers that she gives everything she has to her customers and we will encourage her to continue with her dream of serving the community she grew up in and cares for deeply, Thank you.

They are wonderful! Always super polite and take great care of our bulldog Louis. He always comes back happy. He has a great time there. Thanks sooo much for taking care of our boy.

We have had a good experience. My dog does not eat while there that well, but it’s because they just miss us and do this even while being watched by friends. Dogs get stressed any time they are away from their owners so take that into consideration when looking at the negative reviews. My dogs eat socks and toys so I am glad they are crated and safe when we are away. This time they came home smelling clean which was. A surprise 😂 they usually are muddy from playing

I Highly recommend this place. The Staff are amazing and very helpful and kind people. They took really good care of my Dog for me and made her very happy. If I could give them a 10 🌟 rating I would. Very accommodating definitely bringing Bella back here. …

Just a Godsend! Lovely staff and our dog is always happy to be dropped off. I don't know what we'd do without them.

What a great way for the girls to spend the day with friends. This is all they can do when they get home. Shannon, Anna, and Lauren are awesome
