Groos, Michigan
Petsitter with experience administering meds and shots ready to love your babies
Wendy was lovely and it was obvious that she and Beau shared a genuine affection. It was lovely to come back to the house and find it cleaner than when I left it. She had washed and ironed all her bed linen.

Natalie was great! Thank you for helping with this sit and being so flexible!
Groos, Michigan
Energetic and loving mother/daughter duo who adore animals and the outdoors!!!
Riley and Angie were very pleasant and took great care of our home and dog. I think the energy level of our one-year old whoodle caught them a little off guard! They would be fabulous with older dogs.
Sue and Richard were greeted enthusiastically by the dogs ! They sent me pics of the dogs having a good time on the beach . Which is always reassuring. I can recommend them as dog sitters and they arrived on time and were packed up when I got back
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.
Diane and Les were excellent pet and house sitters. Jet was a very happy dog when we returned and Diane had shared many photos of their days together while we were away on holiday. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned and some milk , bread and sweet treats had been left for us, which were very welcome after our 2 long flights home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Diane and Les as sitters for your home and pets, everything was done to a high standard and Jet was happy in his usual environment , which is all we wished for. Many thanks to you both.
Jasmine is a five-star sitter. She is everything you want in a sitter when you go away and leave your beloved pet and home. She is reliable, communicative, respectful, and flexible. We had no worries about our dog or home while we were away, and will be having Jasmine sit for us again soon. Our home was immaculate when we got home, and our dog was obviously well-cared-for. Can't say enough good things about this wonderful human.
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Such a great family! George, Larissa and their crew were a fantastic bunch. Our large senior dog got an eye infection right before we left for our trip and so we had to ask them to do some extra eye care. When it was clear that it wasn’t getting better they were willing to load up Lorax and take him to a vet appointment and then apply the prescribed ointment for the next week and a half. Definitely above and beyond care that we really appreciated! Our house was left in great shape, our pets were super well cared for, and George and Larissa were great communicators. We have had many many sitters over the past 3 years but this was the first family. Nothing to worry about, they were terrific and we would happily have them back again. Thanks for taking such good care of our fury family and our home!
Angela Gandolfo and Erica Piazza came to stay at our house while we were away on vacation for two weeks. Our two dogs are a handful, but these two lovely women took such good care of them. They spoiled them even more than we do, which is perfect. We got photos every day, and when we came home our house was tidy and there were clean sheets on the bed. I couldn't have asked for better house and pet sitters than these two women. They communicated well with us, and if they had questions, they asked. It was a pleasure to work with both Angela and Erica. We had to cut our vacation short because of a death in the family. It was really stressful, but once again, Angela and Erica were flexible and understanding. It made a difficult time easier, knowing that things at home were being managed so well. I'm hoping that if we ever have to go away again for such a long time, I will be able to get these two back here again! (hint hint) Thank you, Angela and Erica!
Cindy was great, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter experience! Communication was great both before and during the sit. Cindy was really helpful and flexible with arrival and departure arrangements. I came back to a happy dog and a well cared for house, can thoroughly recommend 🙂
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
Care and compassion for my dogs was at the top of the list of John's attributes. He was the first sitter I have used through zeewoi that was close enough to come meet the dogs before the sit. John not only came for an initial meet and greet, but he made time to meet the pups a second time prior to my departure to better familiarize himself with both the dogs and my home. Having put the fear of God in him about Penny's reactivity (I might have been a bit over the top, but better more attentive than less!), he was cautious with her in the beginning. Later in the sit, they trooped off to the beach on multiple occasions - all good! My 10-yr-old was on some meds for a serious battle with arthritis, and John managed Cooper's needs beautifully. John even made a call and a trip to the vet to re-up Coop's prescription when it was clear he needed to continue the protocol. I received daily updates by text, including photos and video; communication is hugely important to me. I feel blessed to have had John care for my fur-babies.

Just a few days after Labor Day, 2024, we used this facility as we were camping with our 18-yr-old Chihuahua mix in the area. On a whim, my husband and I decided to take a boat trip in Munising which would have left our little guy in the camper for too long alone. The late afternoon before our trip, I called Golden Acres Kennels. I was greeted on the phone with professionalism and concern, along with a wonderful opening for them to accept him for day care or if at the last minute, an overnight stay. On our arrival at 9 a.m. the next morning, the facility was very clean, nicely laid out, and very nice staff. We brought his bed and kennel and food along to keep him content. They were very accommodating for his quirkiness, and his less than friendly behavior for other K-9s. We were able to pick him up by 5 p.m. He was happy and no worse for the wear! $25 for day care, especially with our last minute request, was worth it for our peace of mind. Of course, I understand that last minute accommodations aren't necessarily met in this beautiful vacation area year round...but I'd certainly try to ask AND plan ahead for future day care or overnight stays for our dog or any future pup! Thank you!
I was so happy with my first experience there! My dogs aren't ever with other dogs so I felt nervous how they would do. The staff put my mind at ease explaining how they would slowly introduce them to other dogs. My dogs came home happy and tired after a day of play and the pics on Facebook are proof of it! Looking forward to using them again!
First time boarding our 3 huskies in the area and it went great. Facility was clean and comfortable. They had a kennel large enough for our 3 girls to stay together. The outdoor area was big and secure so dogs were safe and no possibility of running away. Staff was so friendly, loving, and can tell they really care about the dogs. Facebook pictures and talking with staff helped ease our nerves for the first time boarding at a new kennel. Thank you so much for taking care of our girls. Our girls will definitely be visiting again!
Nice people who actually care about dogs! It was a relief to find this place after trying one or two others. No over crowding and no stressed dogs!
The facility was clean, the staff was friendly, and the cost was more than reasonable but unfortunately we won't be returning to this kennel. Our dog came home with an injury on his nose that we initially thought was dirt so we did not question it at pick up nor was it explained to us. We also noticed his eating behavior was off when he first came home; he almost seemed wary, which was never a problem at previous kennels he stayed at in the past. Finally, upon pickup, when we asked how our dog did they paused for a moment and the lead attendant jumped in to say "He was fantastic". Honestly, it may have been fine but we have never picked up our dog from a kennel without having all the staff fawning over him, this was different. Your dog may be fine here but please be cautious and consider your options.
Supposed to be $35 a day for boarding, ended up paying $513 for 10 days we got charged for my dog whining and barking too much and another fee for him having diarrhea not impressed
The staff at Golden Acre are absolutely amazing. My boy is a COVID pup so was never really properly socialized. They openly communicate and only show him a great deal of love, compassion & patience (while understandably exercising caution because he is, afterall, a big Malamute). My boy quickly went from being a scared dog to super excited to spend time at Golden Acre. Doggie Daycare days are his favorite days of the week!
My dog Mandy actually WANTS to come here! She jumps with excitement as soon as we turn down the dirt road. It is so wonderful to know she's getting the loving care and attention I would be giving her.
Wonderful people working there. You leave your pet feeling like they care about them. I'd definitely recommend any dog owner looking for somewhere to board your pet.
My dog loves coming here, and doesn't look back when I bring him inside. He gets to play all day with other dogs and comes home tired and happy when vacation is over. I use this kennel a few times a year from 3-4 days to up to two weeks at a time.
