Adventurers with a love for simple joys!
I was wonderful to work with Trinity leading up to and during the sit. Macy, my dog, looked so happy in the updates Trinity shared during my trip. And she kept the house clean and the plants alive and healthy. Would recommend her to anyone.

We were gone for 10 days and Brandon was very responsive throughout our time away. The animals were well taken care of and we appreciated that he asked questions if he needed help.

We were so fortunate that Melanie was available to stay with our 15-year-old cat, Little Bits for 12 days. Our sweet female calico has gotten older and a little more frail dealing with hyperthyroidism. My husband and I were concerned yet hopeful that we’d find the right person to look after her needs. Well, Melanie was a gem; we didn't have a single worry the entire time we were away. We were also very grateful that she was able to arrive the evening before we left so we could go over things in the house and get acquainted. We knew instantly Bits would be in excellent hands. Melanie was watchful and very attentive. Her communication was beyond exceptional and we loved getting updates with photos of our girl. It was obvious that Little Bits was very happy with her new friend. When we returned we found our home clean and in perfect order. Melanie did an amazing job!

Life is great, but it would be even better exploring with your pets
Molly and Rick were wonderful with our sweeties, and great communicators. I also appreciate the efforts that they made to keep the apartment clean, including the sheets and towels so I won't have to add this to my plate when coming back from the weekend with three teens.

Providing you peace of mind while pampering your pet is my priority!
Another fantastic experience with Elizabeth! We were on vacation for 12 days and had total peace of mind with Elizabeth looking after our sweet Zoe and the house. She is super self-sufficient and happy to help with garden upkeep and anything else that comes up during a stay. Plus there's nothing better than returning to a well cared for and happy kitty, and a spotless house with linens laundered, trash taken out, and a sweet bouquet to welcome us home! Absolutely looking forward to the next chance to have Elizabeth come and stay. Thank you Elizabeth! 🙏🏼

Caring, positive and honest Dutch lady. When I commit, it is for a 100%.
We cannot say enough good things about Annemarie and her care of our dog and home. She knows Roo from a prior sit, so within minutes they were best friends again. She kept in touch with us regularly and sent photos of Roo which we loved. He is very stubborn about not eating when we are gone, so she tried different things with our suggestions and permission. Annemarie took excellent care of our home and plants, both inside and out. She even had muffins for our breakfast the morning after we got home! Annemarie is great about handling whatever comes her way. She has emergency numbers, of course, but she has never had to use them thankfully. We will happily have her care for Roo whenever we go away. We know he is in excellent hands.

Maeve was very communicative and kept us updated on our pups and house during her stay. Prior to her visit, she was very organized with a list of questions so she was well informed before she arrived. The dogs seemed happy and well cared for while we were gone. Recommend her to others.

Danna and I are professional, attentive and caring home and pet sitters.
Robert and Danna are absolutely the best house sitters you could ask for! They sat for us before and were so wonderful with our pets and home, and we were thrilled they returned for another house sit. They are so organized, thoughtful and considerate of our home and our pets routines. Our neighbors all thought they were amazing and kind, too. They shared photos and updates throughout their stay. They also contacted us when there was a potential issue with our dryer. How amazing is it that they took the time to troubleshoot a potential issue? We hope Robert and Danna will return to our home again one day. They are simply the best!

You had me at Meoww
Very polite and informative. Hope she watch my pups again.
Anita was a wonderful dog sitter for Balto! They were super tentative, made sure to ask any and all questions before we went away, and they sent the best updates about Balto while we were gone. I felt so much better knowing my dog was in great hands, and I could not recommend Anita enough! Quality care, and our apartment was spotless when we returned home.
Leah & Elias, were an absolute joy as housesitters. They arrived a day early so we could all meet and go over the pets routine. Our cat is relatively new and has a little separation anxiety but they managed his care really well. Our dog needed to be dropped off at a sitters and they took care of that as well. We also came home to a clean and neat house! Overall, they went above and beyond and I highly recommend them.
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
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.
Stephanie was fantastic! Very organized and left our house sparkling clean. She also sent daily pictures/messages which we loved receiving. She took great care of our dog and our house. One of the best sitters we’ve had!
Joe arrived some days before I left, so I could show him some nice places in Switzerland and he had enough of time to learn all about the dogs and how to handle them. He is an amazing nice and an animal/natur loving person who took care of my dog with incredible affection when I was in vacation. I could really enjoy it, because I knew, everything is ok at home. He sent me picutres and I could see, how much fun they have together. He cooked for the dogs, mad a lot of nice hikes with them and huged them, when they need it - so he even got the trust from Artu (as a man really not easy). And not only that, he made woodruff punch for me and sowed my tomatoes and spoiled them with melt water. And he helped also the women which looked after the horses and helped her to going walk with them. Generelly he is super friendly, so everyone in the village likes him. He is considerate of your belongings and has handed the house back neatly. He is just the best. I'm so gratuful he was here. So, if you have a chance to get him as a sitter, take it. Your animals will be grateful to you and have a good time while you are on vacation. Joe, you're not just a dog sitter for me. You were so familiar to me from the first moment. We had a lot of fun and we already miss you sooooo much. I'm really looking forward to see you again in some monthes.
Jamie was a lifesaver! Our confirmed sitter canceled just greater than 2 weeks out from our trip, and after just a short chat I could tell that she was ideal for our home and dogs. When we had a Covid exposure just before leaving for our trip Jamie didn't miss a beat. We did a hand-off of the dogs and home outdoors to keep her safe. We unfortunately had another exposure just before returning home, so were bummed that we couldn't spend some time with Jamie before she left us. Jamie is dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. She is an excellent communicator and sent us the cutest pictures of our dogs. We knew Teddy and Bella were in very capable hands while we were away. Jamie left our house very clean and with all the linens washed. She even left a plant and thank you card, so thoughtful! We would love to have Jamie back at any time to sit for us. I give her the highest recommendation!
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
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.
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.

My two dogs stayed here for a long weekend while I moved into my new home. The place was absolutely spotless and no odor…amazing! My dogs were well-taken care of and it is such a beautiful property. The owners are lovely and easy to contact for reservations. I also appreciate the flexibility for pick up and drop off times. Reasonable prices too. Will definitely return for future dog boarding.
After trying other kennels in the area, we very happily have been using the Kennels at Winterpock since shortly after they opened. Although our dog is not the best behaved, she is very content with the clean environment here and the expert care and attention showered upon her from the moment of arrival. The family-owned scenario provides great care and flexibility to meet your travel plans and schedule as best they can. Highly recommend this facility to any dog-lover!
I love this place and so do my dogs. I am new to Chesterfield and was very worried about where to leave my dogs when my husband and needed to fly home for a week. I wanted them safe and taken care of. We called Kennels at Winterpock, went down and took a tour of the facility. The kennels were clean, and not just cleaned on our account, the dogs can sleep inside, they have their own beds they have access to the outside and play time, we could board them together. We were also concerned because one of our dogs does not get along with other dogs and we were assured that they DO NOT let the dogs interact. We have used them since and will continue to use them. The staff own the facility and they treated our dogs like they belonged to their family. Having this peace of mind when we travel is great. I highly recommend this facility.
Having boarded Bailey there several times. Good care and very reasonable boarding prices.
We have lived in Chesterfield for 19 years. It has taken us 18 years to find the perfect Kennel for Brodie. We are so happy that we finally found the perfect "home away from home" for him. He is always happy to arrive! Shannon is wonderful to work with when we need to schedule dates for boarding.
We have been coming to the Kennels at Winterpock for over 2 years. Our rescue dog is timid and frightened of men- however, she immediately sensed the kindness and care of the owners, and is excited and happy when she is dropped off, and equally so, when she is picked up! We highly recommend this kennel for their attention to detail and loving care!
This kennel is hands down the cleanest and most caring. The dogs are happy. They have their own dog runs. Heated and airconditioned. After my dog got Kennel Cough at one of the larger kennels with no runs, I switched to Kennels at Winterpock. The family who owns it runs it. My dog gets so excited when she goes there. She loves the family, kind of like going to Grandma and Grandpa's house.
If we could give 10 stars, we would. We have been taking Sammie here for years. He loves the owners and they love him back. They obviously care a lot. Immaculately clean facility. Very flexible drop-off and pick-up hours. You and your pet will be more than happy with everything at this kennel. No need to look anywhere else. Your search is over.
I randomly came across this kennel on the internet a few years ago and I absolutely love them. My dog Barkley loves to go here, seriously. Prior to this kennel, he would always come home sick or at a minimum with a hoarse voice from barking constantly while we were away. He always seems very happy when we pick him up at Winterpock.
Our dog "Willie" has been vacationing at Winterpock Kennels for several years now. The Kirwin family continues to impress us with the care they give him while a guest there. This means so much to us when we travel or just have to leave him for a night, knowing that he is in loving hands. The Halls, Wayne & Jo
