Looking forward to caring for your home and pets

Shauna
Providing Pet Sitting in the Allegan, Michigan
Full time traveling couple wanting to hang out with your cool pets!
Shauna and Craig kept in touch every day with pictures of kitties and how they were doing even though no expectation was set for an update, so they did that of their own accord. They were easy to communicate with and very friendly. House was immaculate when we returned and one of our kitties sheds a lot. They even left us a little gift. We would love to have them return again!

Dawn
Providing Pet Sitting in the Allegan, 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.

Loving care for your pets & home
I was very nervous about leaving my senior rescue dog with a new set of humans…he had been through a lot. But from the moment Dani and Dawn walked in , I knew everything would be fine. They are both very relaxed and kind and Beau took to them immediately. They took exceptional care of my dog AND my home. I came back to a happy dog and a spotless house. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Dani and Dawn. Beau misses you!

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.

Digital Nomad Family Looking to Explore
Matt, Kimberly and their two children looked after our Cadence(Goldendoodle) for a little over 3 weeks. They were incredible, my neighbors loved them. I heard someone played the piano very well❤️. They sent us some beautiful photos of our baby being loved by them and the kids. I wanted them to feel at home and enjoy the Hobart 4th of July celebrations and I think they did. I had no stress leaving my home and dog with this beautiful family. The house was perfect when we got back! As if we'd never left, Cadence was in great shape but will miss them for sure. So many thanks to Matt and Kimberly for their kindness and generosity. I hope to see them again.
Katie
Providing Pet Sitting in the Allegan, 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.

Reviews from Dog Owners
Tess
Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Christina
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Judy
Michele is a great pet sitter for my dog Charley! She keeps me informed and sends pictures. I came home to an immaculate home! I hope she will come back again.
SOPHIA
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!
Kim & Brian
Joe was an excellent sitter and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away, dealing with one of our pup’s surgery recovery, which was an unexpected circumstance just prior to our trip. We felt fully comfortable and were so grateful to know that all of our dogs and our home were in such good hands during his stay. Highly recommend!
Caroline
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.

Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
Daniella
Charlie was again an outstanding sitter for us whilst we were away at a wedding. This is the second time having Charlie and although we have not met face to face we completely trust her with our home and of course our cat, Nala. Charlie left the house spotless which is amazing to come home to after a long day of travelling. She is reliable, good at communicating and trustworthy and we would not hesitate to recommend her enough. Thanks again Charlie, we hope you come back again and there might even be a dog next time😁

Camp Christy Dog Care
Recent Reviews:
Christy is so kind, compassionate, understanding, and fun! She took great care of our 2 dogs over a long weekend. Her general knowledge of dogs blew my mind! The facility is very clean, very big, and Christy works hard to ensure the dogs all have a great experience. I will only use Camp Christy!
We have been using Christy's boarding service for several years and she is always flexible and cares for our English Mastiff as if she were her own. The space is perfect and every dog there gets personal attention and plenty of time out of their kennel for exercise and cuddles!!!
Christy was so kind and professional, flexible, and great with communication. I was nervous about boarding our dog for the first time, but she was well cared for and had a fun time while we were gone on vacation. I felt like Christy loved her like we do. We will definitely use her boarding services again.
We had a family member in hospice, and they were rapidly declining...so we had to rush out to Allegan from our hometown in the Detroit suburbs. We needed to board our three dogs on Memorial day weekend. Our local dog boarding was booked, so I called Camp Christy and by luck she had three spots open. Christy is very knowledgeable, and dogs are her profession. I chose her facility because it was further off the main roads than the other facilities. After meeting Christy and seeing the yard, the accommodations where our dogs were sleeping, we were able to tend to our family's needs, and not worry about our dogs. They were in great hands, and all had a great time there. I cannot thank them enough. Really great people.
I highly recommended Camp Christy. When I go on vacation I know my dogs are being very well taken care of. I love how Christy’s facility has its own living room and tv for the dogs. I like that my dogs get couch time hanging out. My dogs come home happy and tired. Christy also trains dogs and she has trained several of my dogs over the years. Christy is definitely is a great mentor and lots of experience with dogs.
We love it when Christy takes care of our fur babies. Whenever we drop them off we know that they are getting the best care. She makes sure that they have plenty of play and rest time. Plus we can get them groomed while they are there. Nice big yard for them to play in and large kennels with cots, toys, and blankets for them to be comfortable while they lounge. I would recommend camp Christy for anyone who needs doggy daycare either for the day or for extended periods.
The best! Christy cleans yard and kennels multiple times daily and works with all the dogs both inside and out. There is no more thoughtful care anywhere!
Camp Christy is pristine, while the facility is a little "rough around the edges" it is so clean you could almost eat off the floor, she keeps the yard clean, and the dogs are happy and well adjusted when they leave. My dogs LOVE going and working with Christy, because she has a true understanding of animal behavior and husbandry. I would recommend her to ANYONE.
I would give Camp Christy 10 stars. Her place is very clean and well maintained. She does spend alot of time playing with the dogs who visit her. They get couch time,with her so they don't have to be kenneled all the time. It's an awesome place and I would Never take my dogs anywhere else to board or train. I have Italian greyhounds. They love Christy.
I've been boarding my dog's at Camp Christy for the past 2 years. She gives them individualized attention and a lot of time outside. I get to see photos of my dogs playing on her Facebook page which I love. I appreciate the care she puts into my dogs. She even grooms them upon request! They come home clean and happy everytime. Thank you!
Countryside Kennels Pet Resort & Spa
Recent Reviews:
We left our 8yr old German Shepherd with Countryside for 10 days while we went on vacation. This is the first time she has been boarded and I was pretty nervous leaving her. When we arrived the staff was so kind and gave us a tour of where …
Countryside Kennels is the best in the area. Winn loves visiting for doggie daycare and has boarded during long vacations several times. He is always happy and excited when we arrive. The doggie dome is awesome and a great fit for friendly, social dogs. I researched and used several kennels in West Michigan and have found no better then Countryside. The staff is amazing and kind and the facility is awesome. I drive almost 45 minutes to use them and for good reason. They give your dog a fun and loving environment.
Edit: added 1 star due to positive response from owner. We used Countryside Kennels two times over the past year, and both times our dog came home with diarrhea that lasted several days. She also came home smelling like fecies, but also smelling of some sort of sweet detergent-like smell. My hunch is that they never let her outside to go to the bathroom, so she defecated in her kennel and instead of bathing the feces off her, they used one of those chemical handy wipes, and when she licked herself clean she ingested some of the chemicals from the handy wipes, giving her diarrhea. I would caution anyone against using this already-expensive kennel, but if you do make sure tack on the additional expense of extra outside time. We have reverted to driving 45 minutes to a kennel in Rockford that we trust. Our dog has never gotten sick one time out of a dozen or so visits.
This Kennel is awesome. They are so kind and helpful. Simon love’s going there
We've taken our dogs here several times for day care, and they always come home happy and exhausted. It was because of this that we trusted Countryside enough to leave our dogs with them for two weeks. We could not have been happier. The dogs were healthy, happy, and clean at the end of two weeks. The way they spoke of our dogs it was obvious that they spent quality time with each one, enough to really understand their very different personalities. I feel the love and care they show each dog is exceptional, and we'll continue to bring our dogs here.
I am grateful for the pleasant experience we had boarding out dog at Countryside! Our pup normally gets watched by friends and family and he hadn't been to boarding in a long time. Naturally, I was diligent in finding a place that was welcoming and accommodating to our dog and most especially allowed play time during his weekend stay. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and when we picked him up he was wiped, which is a happy sign that he got some great play time during his stay. The staff also obliged in my phone call to check in on him as well. Although we do not board our dog often & live outside of town, we will most certainly make Countryside our #1 choice for our dog's care and we will happily make the drive for their service when needed. Thanks, Countryside!
My family has sent our dogs here for the past....+15 years? They have ALWAYS been given excellent care. Since most of our pets have been Australian Shepherds, we have also taken the chance to have them groomed while they were boarding there. The grooming as well has been excellent, and they always come back with a spray, or conditioner, smell that is amazing! Now that I am married, with a pet of my own. (And planning a vacation soon) I will be phoning you Monday morn to make an appointment for my own family dog. I look forward to doing business with you again ! And writing another positive updated review!!!
Countryside Kennels is amazing!! My lab Gus loves going there! He knows the way to the kennel and when we turn down the road he goes nuts with excitement!! They are so nice and caring! I have never had an issue with them!! When I was on my honeymoon they were awesome about letting me call and get little updates on Gus since it was the longest he had ever been boarded!! I highly recommend them to anyone!!
My Golden Retriever is just a year old and we have brought him there about 5 times now and each and Every time it has been an Amazing Experience!!! He is Perfectly groomed and smells soo good! His coat feels like he has his puppy coat again (incredibly Soft and smooth!) My dog absolutely Loves going to "The Kennel" because he knows how much fun he has there! Thank you so much Country Side Kennels for taking such amazing care of my baby boy!!! Highly, HIGHLY recommended!
Our "baby" is a high maintenance one, however, we have definitely found the place to comfort him when we are away. We've brought our dog here for a few years now and have been very happy with the services. Our "baby" seems to always be happy to come and the customer services is great! I believe her name is Patti, but she is so sweet to our baby and I know he gets great care from her. From the minute we make the appt on the phone to when we pick him up, she is just so bubbly! Charlie is always smelling so fresh when he leaves and this is the place we'll continue to go!

Professional, loving, and thoughtful. We couldn’t be happier with the fantastic service. Our older cats are happy and healthy when we return from trips, and our minds are at ease knowing they are in good hands. Flexible scheduling helped with food and med administration. A+
They did a wonderful job taking care of my furbaby while I was out of town. I would definitely use them again.
My wife tried multiple times to reach them and I am a witness of at lest one voice message left. They didn’t return the calls and now are saying they were not contacted. We had to leave our dear dog home :(
They take great care of our puppies. a home away from home.
Lovely owner. Treats you like a friend. Great with furbabies.
My kitty Pete's home away from home. Great individualized care.
