Animal lovers/rescuers - retired professional couple - dependable and kind :).
Amy and Eric went well beyond our expectations to care for Bodie, including care for a resolving health issue. Shay was a nice little companion for Bodie. Amy and Eric took excellent care of our house, pool, and plants. They kept in touch with us while we were away, sending daily photos and stories of Bodie. They included him on some local adventures. They are an engaging and fun couple who we enjoyed meeting. We would highly recommend them as sitters!

Retired, non-smoking couple looking to travel while caring for houses and pets.
Jess and Matt have house/cat sat for us previously, so we were very reassured to know that they would be coming again. We didn’t worry at all while we were away, as we knew Gizmo and our home were in safe hands. We find them to be a very capable, respectful and friendly couple. They sent regular photo updates and we could tell that our cat was very settled - which was also apparent on our return. J&M communicated really well prior to the sit, letting us know when they had arrived in the country and the times they would be arriving and leaving. They cared for our home exceptionally well. They even topped up cat food crunchies and changed bedding, and the house was very clean and tidy which was joy to return home to. We would strongly recommend them as house/pet sitters. You’re welcome back anytime - thank you so much.

Patricia was great to have as a house and pet sitter. She took really good care of our cats and was very friendly and trustworthy. She left our house in great shape too.

If the rating was to 10 stars, she would get 10 stars from me. Sensational sitter. The cats just loved her and were very settled with her. What a fabulous cat sitter. The house was great and there were no problems that Brittany couldn’t deal with.

Individual to care for your home and pets...
Jackie was, once again, a fabulous sitter. She loves Dash and provided him with attention and care. She sent daily photos and check-ins to let us know how they were doing. I highly recommend Jackie as she is attentive, detail oriented and, most importantly, loving to Dash. See our other reviews for more details. Jackie is superb, and we are so fortunate to have her caring for our dog! I would not hesitate to have her care for your pets too! If she applies, you should say yes.

Love having repeat sitters who know my dogs & their routine. Chantel is reliable and easy to work with. Appreciate shots of the pups every other day or so.

Tidy, responsible and reliable, pet lovers!
Brittany was an absolute pleasure to work with, right from the first communication we had bout my trip and Sitter needs. She's very responsive, professional, kind, caring, clearly loves animals (and in my case, both dogs, and farm animals as I run a Farm Animal Sanctuary for rescued animals). Brittany kept me informed throughout my trip with photos and messages which I very much appreciated. And she left my house as clean, if not cleaner, than it was when she arrived at the start of the stay. Finally, I would highly recommend Brittany for Home/Pet/Farm Animal Sitting services, and would welcome an opportunity to work with her again, and often.

Tess was great to work with! She took great care of our birds, plants and house, and she communicated quickly, clearly and pleasantly. She sent us regular photos of our birds and left the house neat and spotless. We are very happy and would definitely welcome her back any time!

It was a pleasure to have Jeanne and Alex pet sit for us while we were away for a week. Jeanne communicated very well before and during the sit and regularly shared pictures of Yuki with us. I think he got all the attention he needed! She also took good care of the house and our plants. We would love to have them pet sit for us again!

Yaritza took excellent care of Rochester and Raven. She informed me when Raven had eaten part of a toy and had tummy trouble. My house looked just the way I left it. Thanks for keeping the pups company and texting me photos and keeping me in the loop!
Due to a family emergency, I had to leave the country earlier than I had planned, and needed a sitter to fill in the gap between my departure and another sitter. Michele responded within minutes of my posting the sit, and then we spoke and confirmed the sit within hours. Her husband, Israel, was coming from Mexico to France, while she and her kids were to come from Sweden. When Michele’s travel plans changed, and she wouldn’t be able to come with her children, she assured me that Israel would still come to look after the house and dogs. To do this, for a stay of only five days, he flew to Paris, and then to the south of France, where he rented a car and drove the rest of the way to my place. As I was already traveling, the previous sitters filled him in on the various things that needed to be tended to: caring for two dogs, tending to hens, watering 90 young olive trees daily, as well as other things. The place is big and it took me 3-4 weeks when I first moved in to figure out where things were and what to do. Israel mastered everything upon his arrival, sent me daily updates with photos of my two VERY happy dogs. In addition to all the upkeep, he managed to hike with the dogs daily. I arrived home to find everything perfectly maintained, two fit and and Israel’s guest house cleaner than it was when he arrived. Immaculate. I cannot even express my gratitude for to both Michele and Israel for such a sacrifice and commitment to do that for me. It was a very difficult time, as I was dealing with the loss of both my son and my mother. I did not worry for one second while my dogs and home were in Israel’s hands. Thank you both, so, so much. You’re welcome back anytime, with the entire family, even just for a visit, maybe just a well-deserved holiday, with no dog- or house- sitting!
My dog had a medical emergency while in John’s care and I credit him with saving my pup’s life. You couldn’t ask for a better sitter in a pressure situation. He also communicated regularly during the stay, keeping me posted on how my pup was doing. Would recommend John to anyone who needs a sitter they can trust.
This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased! Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another. Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.
Jerry gets a five star in every area! We actually connected on the phone before he ever arrived but once he got here, it was like we known each other forever! He was very thorough and how he was going to take care of the dogs and the house!! very friendly with the dogs, and they immediately connected with him!! dogs know when they are💖💖 he arrived early so he could become familiar with Circus and tinker and the house and we had a meal together and quickly became best friends! He sent pictures while we were away and updates. Every day. He was gone by the time we came back, but it honestly looked like he had never been in the house. Everything was perfect just like we left it.❗️❗️❗️ so if you’re looking for a Pet Sitter that is reliable in every way, and you know for sure is going to take good care of your pets this man is the one you want to have come to your home❗️❗️ you won’t be disappointed and I can promise you that💖🎉
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!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
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!
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Romina and Ignas took amazing care of our two dogs and home while we were away! One of our dogs, Beau, is extremely high energy and it takes a special person so make sure he gets enough mental and physical stimulation each day. Romina kept us in the loop of his trips to parks and outdoor excursions. She was very thoughtful and responsive during our time away. Additionally, our home was in pristine shape when we returned from our trip. The rooms were clean and tidy and Romina left us such a thoughtful note. Romina and Ignas are top notch sitters and I'd highly recommend them to anyone with pets! Thank you so much, Romina and Ignas. Our dogs were so well cared for and loved.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

They do an awesome job with our dog! Very friendly a d work with you to get get you the best service and care.
Nancy does a great job. My dog knows where he’s at and walks right in the door. Done quickly and he is never traumatized like the one in Clyde did my other dogs. Scooter acts like a king when he comes home feeling so soft and smelling so good.
After reading a few posts I need to clarify for future reviews.... Nancy is an older adult. She is the only groomer and does this from her business at home. She probably doesn't have Internet to even read or respond to these posts. She also doesn't answer her phone if she is working on a dog. She does well with smaller dogs and is affordable. I don't think she would be physically capable of doing large breeds or pit bulls.
Our Leia loved going there! Very nice groomers! We will be coming back!
Great people who loves everyone pets
Great with the dogs you’ll never have to worry if they are treated right here she really does love her job
Called to see a price to clip my dogs nails and was asked what I got and I said 2 pit bulls and I got a no no no I don't touch that. First off my dogs are not mean. Second my dogs are dogs not "that"
wonderful very friendly and good to the dogs my dog enjoys going there 5 stars
Called to get price on my dog and told them I have a Rottweiler pup and other said no and hung up on me when I called back they would not answer
Very good with my little fur buddy. He loves it there ❤
For 15 you can’t beat the price. Definitely worth it. I took my Nelly in the explained to me that I’d have to come get her when she’d have to pee. The cage was perfect size for her to freely move around and turn around in and even knock around her water in food because she is weird. The staff were super nice. Whenever we came in to walk her they would let me know how she’s was acting. The lady that was there in the morning was great she knew every dog by name. My pupper had a great time. I will definitely take her back
We were in a pinch because our hotel informed us our dog couldn't stay in the hotel alone even though she had a crate so we called Pet Chek for help while we visited Cedar Point. Rebecca and Joe really helped us out and we got our dog checked in on short notice. I really like how accessible Pet Chek is from the park and how attentive Joe was. He was very kind and really kept the place looking great. The price for placing our dog there was great. I understand why they can't walk them but it would be nice if they ever got more staff and space to be able to do that. I felt our dog was safe. Thank you!
Great staff, have been there for many trips up to Cedar Point! You need to bring your own food and come let your pup out throughout the day which is fine. I do wish that the first come first served mindest was applied to dogs being able to be put in a run instead of it being reserved for large dogs in case they show up for the day.
Good price $15 for the day. Air conditioned with friendly staff. They don’t walk your dog and you need to bring your own food. Water is provided. Nice large area to walk your dog mid day with parking available or you can walk over from the large parking lot for the park.
I had a great experience having my dog stay here while I was at Cedar Shores water park. It is clean and air conditioned. It is a smaller building. I appreciated that they have a protocol of only one customer and pet in the lobby at a time. Owners walk their pet to their crate/run. Staff do not handle the pets, so owners need to visit to let their pet out to relieve themselves and to stretch their legs. Staff will call the owner if the pet has an accident in their quarters so that the staff can go in and clean up the mess. Pet Check has several runs for large breeds. My dog is about 100lbs and it was enough space for him. Staff were all nice and made check in/out easy. I overall had a positive experience here.
Great place for your pet! It’s indoor and air conditioned so they will be comfortable. The staff can’t handle your dog, so you are responsible for stopping by to take them out for bathroom breaks, but I found it broke my day up nicely. They also provide water for your pet. Staff was lovely too!
Completely surprised on how this is ran. Don't waste your time. Find someone to watch you dog or another near by real kennel. When I went to pick up my dog she was covered in her pee. I was gone for 2.5 hrs. It's just sad and very cruel here. If you truly love your pets you would not bring them here. Lady at check in was super nice.
I went to cedar point and used the pet check for my poodle frosty. It made traveling with him very easy . The facility is nice and clean and it was air conditioned for the dogs . It cost $15 for the day . I absolutely recommend it to anyone visiting with your pet . Just make sure you plan to take your pet out for walks and bring food for them
This place is perfect for folks traveling with their dogs who want to spend a day at Cedar Point. It is essentially just a kennel with crates and small indoor runs. The staff cannot handle your dog so you are responsible for visiting to feed them and take them for bathroom breaks. Our dog is very relaxed and has low anxiety about new places and he did really great at the pet check. We would definitely use it again for him. However, we have had other dogs with higher anxiety would would have been miserable if put into this situation. Know your dog and do what's best for their personality and needs. Staff was all VERY kind and helpful.
It's fantastic. It's really just a monitored crate. But they generally provide water. You still need to stop by periodically to give your pet a walk and a little love, but that does break up the day nicely. Overnight accommodations and pet spa type services would be great when staying at the hotels or the cabins in the camp ground, but the staff has always been very friendly and I've used the service many times.
Kate is so caring and considerate when taking care of my dog. She sends personalized messages and updates after walks or drop in visits. I always felt very secure when entrusting her with my animal’s care. Highly recommend her services to anyone in the Sandusky area!
Kate was AWESOME with my three dogs! All of my dogs have completely different personalities and she made sure each one was taken care of and happy!! Definitely recommend her!
AMAZING! Our Jojo Loved every minute. Didn't want to leave the daycare.
Thank you Jamie!
Thanks Olivia!
Jessica is amazing! She gets my dogs in as soon as she can! We have been going to her since our 7 year old Golden was a pup now our new dog goes to her too! There always so clean and fresh smelling! Also she’s great with the dogs! Would definitely recommend!
Jessica is doing wonders with our new pup and us as owners! Our dog loves her and works well with her training at every session. She is a dog whisperer!
Jennifer was very quick in returning my call. Set up a group lesson for my dog the very next. She worked wonders with my dog Wade in just one class. Looking forward to the future classes. I highly recommend Chelsea Dog. A+++
Jessica, has aways done a, wonderful job of grooming my dogs she did a excellent job with my pomerain getting all the under growth hair off him She told me what type of brush I needed for my dogs an where to buy it. She is kind an pleaset with my pets. I would t go any where else.
Jessica is great with our dogs! Quick and painless nails for my pups! Thanks!
They are very caring of the Dogs and there master.She washes the animal with natural soaps no chemical in it.
A great place to pick up your holistic natural dog food. Or to kennel your dog if needed.
Absolutely wonderful cut on our dog.
They r never open and when it says they r they are never there.
Jessica is fabulous!
I can't say enough great things about these guys! They taught us so much in the process of training our girl. Later when we needed someone we could trust to board her for a week, they took great care of our pup! They are kind, understanding professionals and all around good people ❤️ 🐾 …
Jarrod and Sarah are fantastic and I highly recommend their training. Before we got our new puppy, we knew training would be a must. We did the board and train program and it helped us get a jump start on training the new member of our family. Jarrod and Sarah were available with any questions we had along the way and are very knowledgeable. You can tell they really care about the dogs. We plan on working with them in the future for the adult program as well!
Jarrod and Sarah are amazing! I would recommend them to anyone looking for some help with training. They are very dedicated and knowledgeable.( not to mention wonderful people) They helped me so much with my golden doodle Archie. He had a lot of behavioral issues. I never thought I would be the dog mom that could actually take her dog on walks in public settings and outdoor dinning. We have enjoyed all of that and more thanks to Cold Water K9. I can’t say enough good things about these two. The in home sessions were a game changer. I needed the training as much as Archie did. They really care about the people and their pets that they work with. Thanks so much! We appreciate you two so much 😊
AMAZING work with our dog Rocky. Before Cold Water K9, Rocky barked at everything outside the house, noises inside the house and our guests. The doorbell was a huge trigger. He was awful on walks and traveling to pet friendly hotels. Lastly he barked at other dogs. He was the complete opposite of our first dog and these behaviors left us clueless. My husband wanted to get rid of Rocky and Cold Water K9 came to his rescue! We now know several commands to keep Rocky in check. The barking is at an appropriate level, he plays well with others and LOVES to travel. We are able to control him on walks and bring him to pet friendly restaurants and businesses. His favorite is going to Chipotle and the bank(he’s so good at the bank they love him there.)My husband has grown to love him and so have our guests. Lastly, when we go on vacation without Rocky we know he has a comfortable and safe home boarding with Cold Water K9. We are so grateful for Jarrod and Sarah.
Luger is a 7 year old German Shepherd Dog that has a strong prey drive, was uncontrollable on a leash, a terror to the UPS and FedEx drivers and had a weak to fair recall behavior. All our fault. We live on some acreage where deer, turkey and other wildlife roam. Although we did not see aggression, we feared he would eventually bite someone in his uncontrolled excitement. We contacted Coldwater K9 and entered him into their board and train program. Luger stayed with them in their home for four weeks. We were sent frequent videos of his training exercises and progress. The first day of his stay, we received a video of Luger walking with a loose leash by Jared's side. Unbelievable to us. We were able to meet with the trainers, Jared and Sarah part way through the training for some hands on instruction. That training and instruction did not stop after Luger came home. We received regular visits at different locations with Coldwater K9 to continue our training. We always feel that we are able to call them and receive information or a hands on lesson when we need it. The training we received with Luger was the best thing we ever did for him....and us. Luger walks well on a leash and we feel that we can take him anywhere that dogs are allowed. He has learned to ride well and without anxiety in the car. His recall is nearly instant, and he has learned how to be calm with our guests. I can't say enough good things about our experience with Coldwater K9. Exceptional! We should have done it years ago. Thank you
After adopting a bully breed from a local pound and realizing we needed some help, we consulted with a few trainers and instantly knew that Cold Water K9 offered everything that we needed! We began with private in-home lessons and after a few weeks, decided upon the Board and Train program. Our boy, Fozzy, struggled with leash biting, leash pulling, and impulse control. Under Jarrod and Sarah’s guidance, we witnessed a miraculous transformation in not only our pup but within ourselves as well. Fozzy is now a pleasure to walk in our neighborhood and beyond. He maintains a loose leash, doesn’t try to chase geese or wild critters we may encounter on our walks and I am actually able to walk him by myself while pushing our senior dog in her stroller. We live in an HOA that doesn’t allow fences and we especially appreciate the recall training so that we can more safely enjoy being outside in our backyard together. Fozzy behaves well in stores and vet visits which is a huge change from when he was newly adopted. Recently while visiting a busy local vet clinic in an environment with some unruly dogs, we received many compliments about his behavior in the chaotic environment. If I’m being honest, I’m pretty sure Fozzy loves his “Uncle Jarrod” just as much, if not more, than his mom and dad as evidenced by how happy he is whenever he sees him for lessons or boarding and can’t wait to jump in the car with him! Getting along with cats was a huge priority for me as our five cats are a huge part of our family and Jarrod made special efforts to work with Fozzy and introduce him to their own personal cats. Entrusting Jarrod and Sarah with our furbaby was the very best decision we could have made. Every day, Fozzy’s changed behavior reminds us of reasons to be grateful for Jarrod and Sarah. They taught us not only how to advocate for our bully bred dog but also enabled us to build a harmonious relationship with our big-headed goofball. I would not hesitate to recommend Cold Water K9 to anyone.
Life changing! I am a firm believer that what we put into our dogs, is what we get out! We have two very different German Shepherds from two very different rescue situations. I have grown up with this breed, but these situations were unique. We trusted Jarrod & Sarah with our girls for quite a long time (They were continually in communication with us with progress and pictures). It was really hard being without our dogs, but it was necessary & worth the investment. Both of our dogs were both almost starting over. Both are so well trained now that we use e-collars to a minimum. Our commands do the trick. We have peace in our home, yard, neighborhood & on our travels. We are very active with our dogs & off-leash training was very important to us. Both Jarrod and Sarah are smart, talented, kind & passionate about their work. As personable as they are, they don’t lose focus. They are committed to both the dog & owner. They listened to our needs & exceeded our expectations. Most importantly they worked us often to reinforce the training taught that is necessary once back at home. If your dogs are as big a part of your lives as ours are, then I highly recommend Coldwater K-9!
They took our good boy and made him a better boy!! Our dog was well cared for during the board and train. They trained him to be a learner so we could continue to train him on new things. Truly a blessing to have them train our dog.
My husband and I recently welcomed an English Lab puppy, Piper, into our family. Although we have had dogs in the past, we have never put our dogs through any formal training. Because our new puppy was so young, I was a little nervous to send her off all by herself for the three week stay. However, my fears were quickly assuaged and I soon realized those fears were unnecessary as well. Jarrod and Sarah are pros! They communicated with us daily - they sent pictures and videos and we were able to follow along with Piper’s progress. They also brought her to our home once a week, so it helped me not miss her so much. The training was totally worth the investment. Prior to training, Piper was jumping on us, she was mouthy, and taking her on a walk was a chore. Those bad habits are gone! Walking her now is a dream - the leash is totally loose in our hands. Piper listens and has focus. They also spent quite a bit of time teaching us how to work with her so that we know how to reinforce all that they have taught her. The follow up visits once she came home were so helpful. Piper was always so excited to see Sarah and Jarrod when they came to our house for the follow up visits (which were included in our training package). Jarrod and Sarah are incredibly knowledgeable and professional and I can’t recommend them enough! If you are looking for trustworthy and compassionate professionals then I highly recommend Coldwater K-9!
I was introduced to Jarrod and Sarah two years ago. I had a Cavapoo puppy and Jarrod trained me how to have a well disciplined pup. Since, Gracie's training, I have used Cold Water K9's boarding services. Sarah and Jarrod are very reliable and show my pup a lot of love. Gracie loves her Home Away from Home. I highly recommend Cold Water K9 Sharon Lichtcsien Sandusky, Ohio
