Ed and Laura were great pet-/housesitters! They were organized and communicative. We returned home to a spotless house, thriving plants, and a happy cat.
Providing Pet Sitting in the Averill, 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.

David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
Joe and Casey were very easy going and reliable. We organised the sit way in advance with a video chat and we had adequate communication leading up to the sit. We handed over the house and animals after a fairly swift explanation of everything. Being experienced sitters Joe and Casey didn't need us to over explain anything (hopefully they felt the same) and we could see very quickly that they were animal lovers. They asked us how much communication we needed whilst away and we said "no news is good news". So we received just the right amount of updates along with the most adorable photos and reassuring words about all the animals. It was clear that they quickly understood the character of each of the animals. We forgot to mention that Tipper likes to dig dirt beds around the garden which creates quite a mess and it was obvious that these were kept under control. The garden and pool were well cared for. We enjoyed a relaxing couple of weeks away knowing that the animals were being loved and the dogs definitely looked for Joe and Casey when we arrived home. Our pets, home and garden were well respected and cared for and we would not hesitate to invite Joe and Casey to sit for us again.
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
Evan and Maria were fabulous. They are experienced sitters and it shows in their independence. They sent regular updates, but not too regular and were totally self sufficient. Most importantly both the house and dog were perfect when we returned home.
If we could give 10 out of 5 stars for Candace, Brian, and Chris, we would! They were amazing house and dog sitters for Brown Dog and Scout. They were so accommodating with our timeline and had read our welcome guide to a tee! It was so reassuring being gone for 2 weeks and knowing our pups were in amazing hands. They sent us daily updates and pictures and it was clear the dogs were so well cared for! They left the house very clean and even had all of our bedding and towels washed for us when we arrived home. Would absolutely recommend them for a sit and would love to have them back again any time!
Emily and Chris were absolutely incredible house and pet sitters. They took care of our dog and two cats for 10 days and were some of the best sitters we've ever had. They took amazing care of all three animals -- giving medicine to our aging dog and managing to befriend our very shy cats on day one. We received adorable picture and video updates each day and it was clear that the pets loved spending time with them. Additionally they left the house in pristine shape and were incredibly diligent in all aspects -- bringing in packages, taking out the trash and recycling, etc. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Lori is the best of the best! I would recommend her 100 times over! Lori is great at communicating and our dogs were extremely happy. She was very attuned to our dog’s anxiety and did a great job making the dogs feel safe and loved. The house was spotless when we returned. Lori also had the job of taking care of my numerous plants. I have to say the plants look better when I got home than they did before I left😂 Lori has a green thumb. Lori is so kind and just a wonderful person. Rest assured if you choose her as your sitter your dog and home are in the best hands. Thank you again, Lori! Blessings!
We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs. We were very happy they accepted. A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned. So, we posted more dates on zeewoi. To our happy surprise, Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted. This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs. We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits. They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting. D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals. This is most important for my wife and I. We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals. Communication was excellent. The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us. We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos. Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us. D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations. Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them. Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare. We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away. The dogs definitely love being around D&J. Homecare: We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned. It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better! D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden. It is very big and takes hours to mow. So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. Our dogs are so very important to us. When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world. We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us. They are fantastic! Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason! -Allen and Izabela
Lynn and Ray were fabulous sitters, going above and beyond to take care of our home, yard, and rambunctious pup. Leaving him for three weeks was very difficult but we felt confident once we met them. They are great communicators, very professional, capable of handling any situation, and personable. Since they are fully self-contained in their van, they arrived a day early so we could show them the place, have our dog Bailey get comfortable with them (that was immediate ☺), and get to know them over dinner together. While on our trip, they sent us daily photos of Bailey, which we really appreciated, and updates on their activities. They took him hiking almost every day and kept him well exercised. Any issues that came up (e.g., our irrigation water ran dry a couple weeks in) they communicated to us and we were able to resolve them quickly. They also harvested ripe berries and squash for us and even harvested and dried tomatoes in our dryer. We spent our entire trip feeling assured that all things were being taken care of and feel ever so grateful that we found Lynn and Ray through TH. We returned from our trip to a house that was thoroughly cleaned (better than we left it ☺), with fresh sheets on the bed, and a happy dog. Five-star sitters for sure!
Ranji was a wonderful pet sitter for my dog Zoe and was very easy to communicate with and kept me informed. She took wonderful care of our condo and wouldn’t hesitate to have her in my new home in NJ if she wants to check out a new area.

We have just used Paula's Pet Sitting service for the first time with 3 of our whacky kitties, and it was the least stressful absence we've EVER had! It's so nice to have the peace of mind that everything is taken care of and to be able to see and read that all the critters are acting normally. Thank you so much, team! We will be sorely disappointed to ever live somewhere without this service.
We have used Paula's Pet Sitting for over 2 years now and taken advantage of the wide range of services they offer. They are always flexible with our ever changing schedule and always go above and beyond to make sure our fur baby is taken care of. Another great feature is the time to pet app that they use. Everyday I get an update with pictures of how our little fur baby is doing during her visit. The pet sitters are always professional and always respond quickly to questions and schedule changes. I would highly recommend using Paula's Pet Sitting for all your pet sitting needs.
I have only used them a few times so far but HIGHLY recommend!!! My friends first showed me how to get a pet sitter with an app while I was away visiting them and I loved the idea so I could set up times without having to call. When my one of my other friends told me about Paula's Pet Sitting it was exactly what I wanted! Unlike Rover and Wag you get to meet your team and that was extremely important to me. They came, saw where we kept pet items in the house, and met me and my pups. When they came both times, they were fantastic! They let you know when they have arrived, and then at the end they send you pictures of their visit as well as a message letting you know how it went. It is so nice to have finally found a pet sitter I feel comfortable with and with many options to use (dog walks, mid day let outs, overnights, etc.). Again, I HIGHLY recommend them.
I brought home a 6 week old puppy and hated leaving him alone during the day. Driving home on my lunch break daily was not a sustainable plan. A friend recommended Paula's pet sitting and I am so pleased I contacted them! My puppy gets visits twice a day and loves each woman on the team that is assigned to him. They refresh his water, prep Kong toys, replace soiled potty pads, and send me a report with pictures after each visit. I am still working on training and the ladies work along with me. If I require the dog sits before a gate is opened, they do the same. If I reward my puppy for relieving himself in the correct place, they do to. I don't have to worry that visits are counteracting the training. If you are considering using a pet sitter- go with Paula's!
We used to avoid travelling because it was so uncomfortable asking friends and neighbors to care for our cat while we were gone and the cat would get upset and pee on the carpets. With Paula's we know our pets routine is as normal as possible so they're happy when we get back. They even water our plants and come at 12 hr intervals to administer meds to our 17 yr old cat.
We have moved to Midland in 2018 we needed to travel shortly there after. We are so lucky to have found Paula’s Petsitting. Without her and her staff it would’ve been very difficult to go on trips and feel assured that our “hairy “children are very well taken care of. Before moving here we used to “board “ our Pets and having them at home in their own environment is such a reassuring thing. Thank you for giving us peace of mind !
We hired Paula's pet sitting on 2 different occasions now. Their service is outstanding. The pet sitters are going above and beyond at each visit, they will check everything and keep you informed every step of the way. Last minute requests are responded to within minutes. Will definitely continue to use.
We planned a trip and three months before we left, decided to get two more westies, in addition to our four year old. We have only left the four year old with family members, but with two puppies, thought it would be best to keep their routine at home. Our vet recommended Paula's and the experience was wonderful! Daily updates and pictures made our vacation so much more enjoyable, knowing our boys were at home, playing in their own yard and sleeping in their own beds. Gigi did a wonderful job with the dogs and answered every question I had while we were gone!
Paula's Pet Sitting provides excellent care and recreation for my crazy cat, while providing me with peace of mind. And that is all I ask. I receive 'real time' reports and photos, which when shared with others always evokes the same response: "I don't get that kind of service from my pet sitter!" I will continue to use this service and confidently recommend it to others.
We are so happy to have found Paula's Pet Sitting! Paula and Amy take great care of our older dog, who is beginning to experience some health issues. It's comforting to know that she is in good hands when we are away from home!
We are so thankful for Dog Haven Ranch! We have a 5 month old GSP and he loves "going to see his friends". They keep him on routine, he gets lots of exercise, love, and socialization.
Yikes. I don't have a pit or a pit mix, however I work with a lot professionally. From my experience, any "kennel" or dog care service that refuses care to them, is because they don't actually have the ability, licensing, insurance, or experience to control any unruly dogs or work with them in any safe capacity when thijgs happen. And trust me, things happen. 7 years of training and boarding, I have had 9 pit/pitmixes who have had issues, yet there was never a bad outcome because we are prepared and educated. The other breeds I have worked with that had major aggression issues we had to accomedate; I kept a list starting about 4 months in. This list began when I had a golden retriever in my care that the owners did not warn had bowl aggression, even a while after finishing the meal. That dog taught me so much, and truly sparked my passion for rehabbing dogs and giving those who are struggling special attention. The list is in no particular order; every time a new breed acted aggressively towards a human, other dog, or both, we wrote the breed down and then just tallied next to any prior breeds. 11 Goldens, 9 Australian shepherds, 22 shepherds/malinois, 2 collies (one rough one smooth), 1 coonhound, 13 shepherd/mal mixes, 1 carolina dog, 2 Akitas, 14 beagles, 7 Shiba, 1 plotthound, 13 shih tzus, 2 dalmatians, 18 labs, 4 border collies, 9 huskies, 1 Italian greyhound, 2 great Pyrenees, 1 jack russel, 1 Rottweiler, 2 pomeranians, one maltipoo, 11 doodles (of all kinds), 3 dobermans, 4 bullies, 2 Australian cattle dogs, 1 bouvier, 1 giant schnauzer, 1 pointer, 1 löwchen, 1 newfoundland, 2 vikhan,
Adopted a dog that was one year old and had some socialization issues. Ryan, Amy, and their staff worked with him a great deal, and I am very grateful to them. My dog is older now, and the kids went off to college, and my dog loves when I send him there! It really helped him cope with all of the changes in our house. He's always happy to go, and is more at peace throughout the week.
Thanks to Dog Haven I can work and not feel guilty about leaving my dog in her crate all day! It really goes beyond just that, my dog Ladybug is VERY energetic. She gets her need for play and exercise met completely at day care while I work. She just about pulls my arm off to get into the door of Dog Haven. In the morning either Ryan or Amy are there to take her back to see her friends, and she jumps all over them like they are part of our family. They have been great about giving feedback on her behavior and interaction with other dogs, which I really appreciate since she came to me through a foster situation. I am confident when I introduce Ladybug to new dogs that she is well socialized because of her time with Ryan and Amy, their great staff, and of course all of her doggy friends at Dog Haven. A friend (who's dalmatian goes there) recommended Dog Haven to me. I would definitely pass the favor on and recommend this doggy day care to all of my fellow dog lovers!
We have taken our dogs to Dog Haven Ranch for 10 years - all have loved their time there. Ryan and Amy and all of the staff are so good with the dogs. My dog gets so excited when we arrive, he can't wait to play with his buddies.
This is a great dog day care and overnight boarding place in Midland. The dogs get actual exercise and they will groom and wash them. The dogs start to get excited when we turn into the parking lot as opposed to other places where they get anxious about being dropped off. Matt runs the dogs during the day so they get in their exercise and fun.
We love Dog Haven! My dogs been going for years and she absolutely loves it! Everyone there is super nice and you can tell they really love all the dogs. Thank you for making Roxi feel so welcome!
DogHaven is such a friendly place to bring dogs! The owners treat each dog as if it's their own. I cannot tell you how comfortable I am leaving my Springer in their care and she always comes home exhausted!
One of the few places our pup is comfortable around other dogs. Ryan and Amy treat these dogs like their own. Thank you for taking in our grumpy boy and helping us to socialize him!
My pup leaves daycare in a calm and happy state of mind, unlike another daycare that I sent him to once. He is super excited to be there and happy to see me at the end of the day.
I’ve observed Melody’s reviews are 4 yrs old. I’m not sure what has happened between these wonderful reviews and now, but we cannot, in good conscience, recommend her for multi pet, more complicated routines. Virtually no communication, even though we were promised check ins and pics. We were completely unable to get home to check on what was going on the first night and had to contact friends to drive to our home because Melody wasn’t answering texts or calls. Thankfully she was there, but still didn’t contact us that night. Small dog fed cat food (and got sick) cats given small dog food. Greyhound seemed to avoid having wrong food fed to her. Absolutely NO information given on how pets did. 0! When arrived back home we found a bag that was inadvertently left behind with what we believe the reasons for the poor experience were. Southern Comfort 100% and coke. We did amply pay her so that I could leave an honest review.
Melody is awesome, we have used her to care for our dog the last few years. He is a older dog with medical conditions specail diet and needs pills through out the day. She takes such good care of him and he enjoys his visits. He comes back happy and relaxed, not stressed. She is great with him we wouldn't leave him with anyone else.
Melody is such a sweet lady, and cares for our pets as if they were her own. She has such a clear love for animals, and is always our first choice to care for our pets when we’re away.
Melody was very accommodating and took great care of our dog. We would definitely recommend her services and our dog looks forward to visiting again in the future!
Thank you
