So much thanks to Dan and Paige for their wonderful care of our Suki and Jack. This was our first pet sit so we didn't know exactly what to expect. Dan and Paige set a high bar. The communication was amazing. we had lots of pictures and regular updates. I couldn't believe how our cat Suki warmed up to them. I expected her to hide most of the time but she sat near them watching movies and hanging out. Our dog Jack is a lover so he was in heaven with the extra attention. The house was in better shape than when we left if. Any initial jitters we had disappeared instantly when they arrived. I think these two were made for pet sitting. They were kind enough to explain the ropes of pet sitting and we were grateful for their candid insights. I hope we can have them again. Thanks very much Dan and Paige!

Open-minded, compassionate, loving pet-sitter
I would invite Steele back anytime. He was communicative, reliable, friendly, and conscientious of my dog and cat’s needs. He took great care of my home too, I came back to it just as I left it. He also left a very sweet note and little parting gifts for me and the fur babies! So sweet.

Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back 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!
Rob
David was a great sitter for our dog! It was just him for this sit. He was very communicative before, during, and after the stay. He visited the apartment before we left to meet our dog and talk with us, and went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and confident that our dog was in good hands. He sent us updates throughout the stay, and left the apartment in great condition. While our dog is on the older side, he can still be a handful at times, but David didn’t seem to have any problems. Would definitely recommend David for any future sit!

I don’t think we could’ve picked a better sitter than Joe! This was our first time using this website/app, and I can only hope that all of our future sitters will be amazing as he was! He was kind, respectful, attentive, extremely clean, (seriously I think our house was cleaner than when we left for vacation), and took such amazing care of our two dogs! He arrived early on the day of our departure so he could meet our dogs and get a detailed run down of their routine. Both of our dogs warmed up to him immediately! :) One of our pups sometimes has the tendency to be reactive towards other dogs on leash. He handled him so effortlessly and with such compassion, it really put any worries I might’ve had aside. While we were away he sent little updates and pictures of the adventures they went on: farmers markets, car rides, long walks, and lots of pets and cuddles. After he left both of our dogs sat out side his room and just looked so sad that their new friend Joe had gone away. I honestly can’t recommend Joe enough! If you are looking for someone, your search should end here!
Melanie
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Courtney
Amara was a WONDERFUL sitter for our home and our dogs for the weekend. We were so comfortable with her being in our home, and she provided regular updates and photos of our babies. The house was clean upon arrival home - we would have no hesitation recommending her to others and hope she would consider coming back to spend more time with our dogs!
Stephanie
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
Mark & Anne
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!
Linda
Christina handled Bridie's first-ever time without us perfectly. We returned after 5 days to a happy, well-cared for and well-exercised pup --- and an emaculate house. Christina knows dogs and helped us with a few Bridie issues. We got photos and some updates while away. She was flexible and very sensitive to all of our needs. Chrisrina is the best sitter that we have ever had.
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.

I boarded my 2 dogs here and Mike was great with both of them. When I picked them up, they were both happy to see me but also happy around the folks there. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a worry free experience for their dogs.
Amazing!!!! First time we took our furry family member to a doggy hotel! After arriving we found that the owners attend our church, and we felt even more relieved! Their love for animals was obvious after seeing three of their little dogs look out the window of their home, and another one walking outside! Exceptional, professional, passionate owners! Thank you for taking away one worry, as we traveled on a family vacation!
Awesome place to leave our pets with! We have 2 German shepherd mixes and they are super knowledgeable and comfortable boarding our pups. Our dogs always come back super happy!
Leaving your dog here is worse than just leaving it in a cage in your house while you go up north. We boarded our 2 year old chocolate lab there for two days. When we pulled in to drop him off, we realized it was just a house in the middle of nowhere and a barn. The boy who was at the house took our dog into a barn and locked him into a cage. Two days later when I decided to pick my dog up, I showed up and there was no one at the facility. After waiting for half an hour (not being able to reach them on the phone because they never answer) a women pulls up and asks who I’m here to pick up, I tell her and she leads me to the barn. My dog is in the same cage he was in when I dropped him off and growling and barking at everyone because he is so scared. I eventually get him to realize it was me and took him home. I understand that this place is in the middle of nowhere northern Michigan and wasn’t going to be a 5 star resort for my dog, but I expected for him to not be locked in a cage for days on end and terrified when I picked him up. The people running this place are rude and inconsiderate l. Board your pets elsewhere. Your friend in Christ,
Very flexible to fit my schedule and takes all my animals including cats. Let me drop my dogs of in town and on our way back we called and they let us pick them up at the boarders on Sunday evening. Also if you pick up in town and schedule correctly you can get your dog a haircut and wash as they groom also. Still use them for all my boarding and grooming needs.
I used Muddy Paws kennel for the first time in January. My dog was well taken care of and tired from all the exercise and fun. Mike is very accommodating for drop off and pick up’s. I will use this kennel in the future.
Mike is great with my dogs! He's very accommodating, especially when I have a last minute drop off. My dogs love going there and being around other dogs rather than being cooped up in the house.
Price was very reasonable for our two dogs. Owner showed us around the facility. Updated us on the furbabies while we were away. Dogs had a good time there. Will definitely go there again!
Need place that your Furbabies are treated like family. Muddy Paws is the place for boarding! I have been using Muddy Paws for over five years. I know my three Furbabies are cared for. Oh if you need grooming Muddy Paws has wonderful place in Alpena to pamper your Furbabies! Outstanding are both services!
They dodged a great job taking care of our dog

We left our Zoey for 21 days. Erica was wonderful! We got daily updates and pictures showing how she was doing. When we picked her up, Zoey had been bathed, her nails clipped and had a beautiful flower her collar. It was so comforting to know our baby had such great care while we were on vacation!
Janet is such a caring person! She did such a great job grooming my two Huskies, who are very fluffy! Not only that, but she was more then happy to let me hang out with her while she groomed my dogs, which I loved. My older dog can get a bit nervous when being groomed, so this was a nice benefit. Janet also boards dogs and has a beautiful facility, with ample fencing and safety measures in place, including smoke alarms that alert her even inside the house. She also has some covered kennels for those dogs that like to climb. I highly recommend her!
This place is the best!!! My small shih tzu stayed here (boarded) for 5 days because our vacation hotel couldn't take dogs. He had the best time!!! I would call this more of a "doggie hotel". They treated him as part of the family, gave regular updates, and helped him not be nervous about his first time being boarded. I also appreciated that they required all the vacccines to be boarded. We weren't sure if he would want to leave!! If I could, I would give 10 stars.
It has always been difficult for me to board my dog anywhere. I heard about Canine Care and how well Erica & staff treats the dogs. Recently boarded my dog here for the first time, for a few nights, and I could not have been happier with the experience. What made it extra special was daily pictures texted to me of my dog looking like he was having a good time on walks, playing with (or sniffing) other dogs, etc.. That made me feel so good seeing that he was just fine & I had no reason to worry. That helped me enjoy myself at the activity I was attending. They obviously are very caring about dogs and put a lot of time & effort into making sure the dogs & their humans are comfortable.
First off... I called the business before using the kennel serviceand left a message. Erika called me back within a reasonable amount of time. She answered all my questions, suggested "stuff", etc. Then... After my decision to send my dog there I called her again... left message. Again, she responded within a reasonable time. And also texted me with additional info I asked about. She was more than willing to accommodate a site visit prior to making decision. Plus sent pics prior to. Once we decided on a time to board, we all met and she was very patient with my dog as he "nosed" around the area. During the time my buddy was in Erika's care I called and asked--How's he doing... She said all is good, and also suggested to call anytime. She even texted me a couple pics of him--- I ran into issues getting back into town on the day I selected... I called and explained. She was understanding and able to keep my dog another day. During pick-up time she had EVERYTHING ready I initially brought with my dog. She grabbed Rocky from his kennel and he seemed fine. So, if we ever need a boarder next time we come to Alpena, I'm certain we will utilize her service. Thank you again.
Canine Care was Great!! I learned so much in that time. It reinforced our strengths, especially Tank's my Shepard rottie pup. I would go again and can email or tex her for any info. The owner was very knowledgeable and sweet.
Erica is great at what she does. We board our dog there once every few months. Also, Erica works with a local rescue to board shelter dogs until they can be adopted. We got our dog through this. Erica did a great job prepping our texas street dog for adoption.
Simply the best place we've gone to. Reasonalby priced, very responsive and willing to do whatever needs to be done. We had a Siberian Husky that was taken great care of for several days while we were out of town. Then, on the last day of pickup they even fit in a bath at the last minute. I'm sure he was a handfull but he's in great shape and very happy to be back home. Thank you!
I still go to Canine Care By Janet. 2019 I board and have my Golden groomed there too! Janet is excellent! Her place is clean and well cared for. She loves each and every animal she works with.
Great grooming and tender loving care when we leave our Dachshunds with Janet. They are always happy and smell good when we pick them up.

They took such good care of our Thomas while we were away! I love that each heated/air conditioned kennel has its own fenced run and that the doggos can come and go as they please and they're not waiting on someone to let them out for bathroom or run time.
My boys came home happy and healthy. I had to be admitted to the hospital, and Michelle was so kind with working things out
I LOVE Old Orchard Kennels! I think my dog wants to send me on trips just so he can go there. The staff is great, clean facility and you can tell that they love animals and the animals love them right back. I would recommend them to anyone that loves their fur babies.
Clean,sanitary,well kept kennels. Kept comfortably warm in winter and air conditioned in summer. Dogs very well taken care of and solid inspections regularly. Nice size kennels where dogs have free range to secured sectioned off outdoor spaces and not cramped in tight confined areas. Facility owners interact with everyone's dogs just like they were their own.
I’ve trusted this place with my precious babies for two years now! Everything is always freshly cleaned. Heat or A/C to keep them cozy during their stay. Love this place!
I love this place for boarding my dog ! They make sure she is fed and watered plus, the whole family spends time with her...I highly recommend boarding your pet here...
Nice folks!
Thank you!
