MaryAnn
Dewitt, Michigan
Mature Responsible Female Sitter
MaryAnn is definitely a pet and house sitter you can trust to be there for you and your pet. We video chatted with her before her sit and felt very comfortable with not having to meet her in person before we headed on our travels. It was obvious she fell in love with our cat Stella enjoying all the cuddles especially at the end of the day. MaryAnn sent photos of our cat everyday and texted right away if there were any concerns. She left our home clean and cozy just as we left it. We feel so fortunate to have had MaryAnn in our home with our cat and would highly recommend her!
Dawn
Dewitt, 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.

Dewitt, Michigan
Active, responsible, retired, ready to take care of your pets and home
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.
Karla
Dewitt, Michigan
Dependable pet/house sitter with vet tech experience willing to travel to you!
Karla practically became a family member to my boys. They were well cared for and her vet tech experience came in handy. My home was spotless upon return and I'd welcome her back anytime. She's checked back to make sure my guys are doing well once she left. I appreciate her attention to detail.
Andrea
Dewitt, 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.

Newly Retired Teacher Couple who love pets, travel, and people!
Sara was incredible! Amazing caretaker for Boomer and so kind and respectful of our home. I hope to use Sara again.

I felt at ease leaving my fur kids with Emerson. I hope to have her back!

Traveling mermaid with feet who can’t wait to spoil your fur babies.
Kara was exceptionally trustworthy and attentive to my home/pet. It was an added feeling of comfort and safety to have my home and pet in such great hands-very grateful!
Katie
Dewitt, 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.

Keeping your home safe and your pets cuddled
Claire was the best! She took great care of our pups and house, communication was great and we felt totally confident that she could handle our three dogs, one of which has some stranger danger/aggression issues. She even flew out a day early so she could come meet him before we left. Happy to recommend her!
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!
Jacqueline
The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home. Thank you so much Ken and Jane! You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶
Linda
Cristina is simply the best house/pet sitter that we have ever had. She is responsible and dependable and an experienced dog owner. Our Wheaten, Bridie, adores her and misses her when she leaves.
Amanda
Liz was a fantastic sitter for our boys and took great care of our home. She was a great communicator and kept us informed of what was happening and how our dogs were doing. She also kept our home clean and tidy. We would be grateful to have Liz sit for us anytime!
Anna
Cindy is an absolutely fantastic sitter and we feel very lucky to have had her care for our dog and our home whilst we went on our family holiday. Her communication before and throughout our sit was fantastic, and she even took our dog to the vet when he needed an unexpected checkup. She took great care of him and sent daily updates including videos and photos of their time together. We could tell that he felt very relaxed in her company. Thank you so much Cindy - it is a real godsend to have someone so kind and caring to take care of your pets and home and we would be delighted to have Cindy back again in future.
Linda
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
Rebecca
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.
Craig
Ryan is a great house and pet sitter and I definitely recommend him. He took excellent care of my apartment and my dog for peace of mind when I was away. He is professional, friendly, and experienced.
Sarah
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Paula
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

Recent Reviews:
Best Friends Lansing was fantastic. My Husky Ace is an anxious dog and has had some poor experiences at previous boarders. We toured the facility before his first boarding and he loved the staff. Best Friends made him feel like he was a part of the pack right away! They were great at reading his cues. We will definitely be using them in the future. Leslie, Sylvia, and Addison were great. Thanks for taking great care of my bouncing kangaroo, Ace Bartholomew! 💕
Our Boxer Miles loves Best Friends! He knows the second we turn on Port Lansing Rd. and sees the planes where he's going and can never contain his excitement. The staff are always so kind and friendly, and I love that they remember him and can greet him by name, even if it's been a little while since his last visit. We frequently recommend Best Friends to other pet parents looking for boarding and day care. :)
I love Best Friends Pet Hotel in Lansing!! This is the first Doggie Daycare center I have taken my boys, Ace and Jack, to that they’ve been excited to go to every time! My dogs are happy to leave me when they get there, and they’re happy to see me when I pick them up. The staff are also so friendly and I can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do. I specifically appreciate Leslie for always going above and beyond for me and my pups! I’m so glad a found a daycare center like this! If you want to keep your pups happy and safe, bring them here!
Our puppy loves daycare! The staff is great at finding the perfect playmates for our little dog. He comes home exhausted and happy!
We left our cat at the Best Friends Hotel for 12 days while we went on vacation. Called once to see how things were going and was assured everything was fine. Friendly staff, nice place.
We use Best Friends Pet Hotel pretty regularly and are always happy with the service. The employees are all wonderful and I feel like our dog is happy and well taken care of while she’s in their care.
I can’t say enough good things about this place! The staff is amazing—so friendly and attentive. My dog absolutely loves going to day camp and always comes home happy and tired from all the fun. It’s great knowing my pet is in such good hands. Highly recommend!
DO NOT USE this company! This was the condition of the kennel my dog was kept in. He had no bedding other then the rug I left with him and the walls had paint chipping off of them and coming off the walls at risk of being ingested. The metal parts of his kennel were rusty and not kept up with the floor is painted with what looks to be basement floor sealer that is worn and chipping. There is no staff on site after hours to moniter animals. The website states that it is a premium boarding service tht offers "comfortable and cozy" stay with "premium bedding" they cant even be bothered to have the manager call me. I am horrified that my dog had to stay here after I found out what the conditions are like. This place is not safe and should be shut down untill the facility can be repaired and brought up to date. We came home from vacation early to get him out of there. Do not use this company. I would not have let my best friend stay here had I realized that he would be so miserable. I WILL NOT be entrusting my pet to people that think that these conditions are acceptable ever again.
Heather and Sarah have always made my boys come out looking real good! Love knowing my dog is taken care of. He really must've enjoyed himself this past weekend as he was boarded for one night, when I picked him up I could tell he'd been playing like crazy.
Our 2 Australian Shepherds love Best Friends Pet Hotel! They are always happy to go play and stay! We also get them bathed and groomed after each stay and they come home looking wonderful! Thank you for always taking care of our girls, Izzy & Maple!!

I loved taking my young puppy to Carol's beginner classes and hope to take her to the intermediate classes also. It was fun and helped Daisy to quiet down a little. I definitely recommend this place. They care about you and your dog. You won't be sorry, it's worth the cost. Daisy even got a medal! 😄 …
We tried Annabelle’s because our usual groomer isn’t currently open and we go to Annabelle’s for training. Our experience was so wonderful! The groomer and staff were so kind and patient with our reactive dog and gave her a beautiful nail trim. Couldn’t have been happier with the service.
We are training our beagle/Jack Russell, Roomba who is full of energy and very reactive to new dogs. Roomba also has resource guarding problems with other dogs. In just 4 short weeks of training, there is notable difference in Roomba's behavior. Very well set up for each dog and owner to be safe and reach your goals. I highly recommend Amanda's Reactive training for all dogs. We will continue advancing to the next classes that Annabelle's offers.
Took our 1 year old Aussie Doodle to AnnBelle's and they did great! It had been a while between grooming appointments since we were mid-move so our pup had some matting around his ear that they handled beautifully! Thankful to have found a groomer so close by that does such a great job.
Annabelles’s Canine Station has everything I need for my sweet pup. Experienced, knowledgeable trainers offer a full range of classes for dogs of all breeds from new puppies to adolescent to adult. My Sheltie has benefitted for years from multiple classes like Parkour, Rally, “rat adventure” and more. Through Annabelles I also had amazing professional photos done there by Judy Richmond Photography, LLC (see the website). Annabelle’s Canine Station has it all. I highly recommend it.
We loved our trainer and the puppy class we attended here and our dog loved it as well!!! We learned so much and our puppy is thriving! We took the Puppy Control Unleashed class with Maegan Payne and she was great! She was always available if we needed her throughout the week, gave us great handouts with good information on it and helped us achieve our goal of having a well balanced puppy. We will be bringing our dog back for more trainings for sure!
Parker has some trust issues so getting professional services for him can be tricky sometimes!! I’m SO thankful that he was able to get all handsome today! He looks absolutely fabulous, looks like he feels fabulous, and I’m so thankful we can keep bringing him back. Thank you so much for all of the work you did on his coat. You are a treasure!! I just love AnnaBelles and highly recommend everything from grooming to training classes!!
We have had wonderful experiences with AnnaBelle's both for obedience training and grooming. Our dog is always excited/happy when he realizes he is going to be groomed. Sam and other staff are gentle, kind and playful with Reggie. I highly recommend them!
This was our first visit. Isla looks great and did well. The staff was friendly and informative. We will definitely be back and refer other pet families there
I brought my German Shepherd for grooming for the first time here, and the groomers did such an amazing job!! From making the appointment, to explaining how my dog struggles with anxiety, to the groomer accommodating my dog’s dislike for the dryer, everyone at Annabelle’s Canine Station is absolutely wonderful. I have a grooming appointment scheduled next week with them for my other dog!

I have two dogs…very long hair…my male has anxiety and barks a lot..Cierra the groomer I have been with for a few years now is amazing!! The dogs are so happy to see her and they come home so proud of themselves and feels so good…and the smell is amazing!! They are treated so well at the establishment…I will never go anywhere else!! The new owner is doing an amazing job and love the new pop up specials on nails cut!!
Had a wonderful groomer for 4 dogs. They got a new owner and the new groomer did an awful cut on my two cocker. Cut their eye lashes, didn't shave inner ear, cut outter ear so short and did not brush out, pads of feet still had hair between and uneven cut on entire body areas of log and short spots. I will not return
Our dog was stuck in a kennel for over 3 hours & never received the grooming service we booked. He is very accustomed to & cooperates well with being at a groomer. There was little to no communication from the staff. I was told at the start of my appointment that it would take 2 hours, when 3 hours passed, I went back to the business and they said they hadn’t started on him and would need another 30 minutes. They claimed our dog had been brushed and nails filed, this resulted in a $55 bill which I paid but don’t feel great about due to the service I experienced.
I just picked up my 2 Aussies earlier today from their grooming appointment. Seirra (sp?) did an amazing job! Not only did she make my boys look handsome but, more importantly, she was caring and nurturing towards my dogs, especially towards my one Aussie who has severe separation anxiety and can be really nervous around other dogs! Thank you so much, Seirra!
I drive an hour to have my dog groomed…. They are THAT good!
Kodiake has only gone twice, but are other dogs have been there and they have always done great work! Kodiake went the second time today and he looks amazing I recommend taking your pets here. They do great work, and are very nice.
Vinny loves his new look thanks to Wag'N Tails. Kurt and his team really seem to care about pets and their humans.
Kurt is amazing.. No matter what puppy we bring to kurt he does a fabulous job. Most importantly our lil loved ones come back stress-free Its amazing.. Kurt does something special we appreciate 100% . Couldnt ask for a better groomer.. You guys are awesome!!!! Thank you so much
Kurt is amazing with my one year old golden doodle Sam!! These are some pics after his groomings
Excellent service. My last groomer shamed me for my dog’s “behavior” and “lack of self-confidence” and made me feel like since my dog hadn’t graduated from Karen Pryor’s School of Elite Clicker-Trained Canines that I was a terrible pet owner. But Wag’n Tails have been great and very patient with my pup. I wish I had found them sooner.
