Our home is where we are
Edwin and Maxim were wonderful housesitters for us and were great companions for our little dog Toby. They spent about a month taking care of our apartment in Lisbon, Portugal and keeping Toby happy and without separation anxiety. Furthermore, they kept our large apartment spotlessly clean, going well beyond what would be expected to clean, polish, dust, and vacuum and maintain the kitchen and bathrooms perfectly. In addition, they made sure the car was started each week to keep the battery charged, collected the mail each day, and watered the plants on our balcony. Both Edwin and Maxim are charming with delightful personalities, and they are a pleasure to work with. In addition to providing excellent care for our dog Toby and the apartment, they kept us informed with near daily reports, photos and videos. We wholeheartedly give them our very highest rating and would be happy to have them back the next time we travel.

Steffy looked after our cat and house for the second time and for an extended period of several months. We are very pleased with Steffy, she is very organised and our cat loves her. Steffy is self supporting doing other things than just housesitting, looks after the pool, exactly what you want! We love to get Steffy back on a next occasion. Thanks again for your great help!!

Experienced, organised, practical and caring, with a deep love of the natural wo
This was our very first time using the service and we were absolutely blown away by Dian's approach from start to finish. Being a highly-rated and experienced cat-sitter, Dian reached out to us in less than a day and make the process much easier for us. Recognizing that we were new to the world of cat-sitting, she guided us through everything and even arrived early to help us out. We returned to find two happy cats, a spotlessly clean apartment stocked with fresh groceries and meals ahead of our arrival. Dian even put her own plans on standby to stay longer just in case we got delayed in returning home. She went above and beyond our expectations and we were absolutely delighted to hear that she enjoyed her time cat-sitting for us. Dian is a genuine cat lover. The feeling is mutual -the cats loved her instantly and she dedicated her time to lavishing attention on them. She found inventive ways to get both cats to participate in play even though one of the cats overshadowed his shy brother and wanted all of the attention. It was very reassuring to know the cats were in such good hands and she did everything possible to make them feel relaxed. Dian is very thoughtful and proactive always anticipating future needs. She selflessly shares her experience and expertise when it comes to cats, she observes each cat and knows how to keep them stimulated. Personally we learned so much from her about the best types of toys and games to use to keep each cat entertained and she sent us photos and videos regularly so we could see what our cats were doing in our absence. Clearly we missed the cats more than they missed us and that in itself is a testament to Dian's great way with cats. She prioritized the happiness and well-being of the cats even above her own plans and chose to maximize her time with them. Dian gave us a great recommendation for a lovely hiking route in our area, left us some thoughtful notes about other things the cats would enjoy and even left us a little gift to thank us for trusting her to look after our cats and our home. It goes without saying that Dian is 100% welcome to come back to us and we would wholeheartedly recommend her as the cat-sitter of choice.

Suzy was an ideal sitter. She was very conscientious in every way - her care for Gracie and our home was top notch. Suzy was here during fireworks weekend and had to care for our dog's anxiety which she did with great care. I highly recommend Suzy as a sitter and would welcome her back!

Inco and Martha were amazing pet sitters for our young cat! They asked all the right questions at our video call prior to the sit and were very well prepared and experienced. They kept us updated during the sit and took great care of our cat and our home. They figured out our cat loves chasing a laser pointer, which tells us they were very aware of the wants and needs of our cat. Would definitely welcome them back for a future sit!

Emile and Floris were exemplary guests/sitters. Friendly, kind, communicative and showed genuine interest in Higgins’ care and well-being. Needless to say, I was assured that he was in good care and was worry-free while I was away. They were also remarkably tidy and respectful of my space which made it such a pleasure to come home. great guys!

Happy, adventurous, energetic, responsible, non-smoking with green fingers.
We cannot recommend Arco and Marianne highly enough! From the moment we connected with them, we felt completely at ease leaving our pets and home in their care. They looked after our two cats and our Great Dane expertly and with genuine care.They are also an interesting and inspiring couple and we were fortunate to be able to spend a little bit of time with them before we left. They have many interesting stories to tell if lives well lived so far! Arco and Marianne kept in constant communication throughout their stay, sending us regular updates via WhatsApp. We loved receiving their photos of our pets enjoying their time together. It's clear they have a genuine affection for animals, and our cats and Great Dane didn't miss us at all. When we returned home, our house was in immaculate condition. They took exceptional and even left everything tidier than when we left! It was such a pleasant surprise to come back to a spotless home, and it showed how considerate and respectful they are. Arco and Marianne are reliable, responsible, and incredibly caring sitters. We feel so fortunate to have found such a great couple to look after our pets. We would happily welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy house sitters. Thank you, Arco and Marianne, for taking such great care of our pets and home!

We‘re big dog & cat lovers. Looking for a stay with furry roommates.
Unfortunately, we did not have a chance to meet Angelina and Jonas in person because they arrived right after another house sitter had to leave after a two and a half week stay and they stayed the remaining three days in our family home with our dog Ronja. My interview was with Angelina and she seemed to be very organised and was very friendly. Everything went smoothly, they sent us regular pictures and updates and kept us updated so we knew that our house and Ronja were well being taken care of. When we returned home our house was clean and tidy and our dog Ronja was happy. We would highly recommend Angelina and Jonas to everyone and would love to welcome them again in our home in the future!
Kathleen was a fantastic sitter and Olive and Noodle miss her already. She was great about sending pictures and updates - never had to ask anything, she always beat us to it. She didn't assume anything that wasn't clearly stated - always asked us beforehand. She was great with our dogs - they immediately bonded with her and didn't want to leave her side. We really appreciated being able to go away and not worry about our pets' welfare, we knew immediately they were being so well taken care of. We hope to host Kathleen again soon!!
Maryna was an excellent pet sitter and houseguest! Communicating with her was easy, and she always responded to my messages quickly. She was also incredibly self-sufficient! Moreover, Maryna graciously agreed to check on my neighbor's cat for a couple of days as well. My dog bonded with her quickly and was happy and healthy when I returned. The house was also spotless. I would happily have Maryna sit for me again!
Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.
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.
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 🙂
Robert and Biljana are absolutely the best sitters you could ever get. We have used them several times already. They have always arrived at the stated date and time. They are eager to receive any and all instructions and will follow them as stated. They keep us informed almost every day on our dogs and send pictures regularly. They always go above and beyond their duties. Robert has fixed a few things around the house without being asked. They buy things for our dogs and have even trained our dogs on certain issues. They made a concerted effort to get to know the neighbors and talked up our dogs to all of them. They will be discreet with any and all information given. We really appreciated all their hard work and effort. They have certainly elevated the bar for the next sitters. Biljana took very good care of our plants and spoiled our dogs to excess. They now expect the same from us!! We will welcome them back anytime. Hiring them is a decision that will not be regretted.
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!
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.
As ever, Charlie was the perfect dog/house sitter - took loving care of our dog and looked after the house and garden as if they were her own; all returned in immaculate conditon!

We have used them 3 or 4 times and we're satisfied. Over the weekend our dogs were there. By Tuesday one began coughing. By last night the coughing and spitting up was uncontrollable. We took her to the vet first thing today and she was diagnosed with Kennel Cough. I called and notified the person who answered the phone. She told me that there hadn't been any other cases (our dogs aren't around any other dogs). Staff didn't show any empathy or say I'm sorry your dog is sick. Nothing. I understand that Kennel Cough is highly contagious and not always stopped with a vaccine but if it happens at your facility please own it. It is for that reason we will not be back.
We’ve been taking our dog, Bambino, here for years for boarding a couple of times a year. He’s a deaf boxer so he is A LOT of work! They’re extremely patient with him and greet him with open arms every time we come in. They adjust his play area based on his behavior. I leave there knowing he will be well taken care of. He absolutely loves going there - he scratches at the car window as we pull into the driveway!! I highly recommend A1! (A couple of pics of him resting after a week being at A1 ❤️)
Courteous staff that doesn’t make you drop off your dog during some ridiculous skinny window of time! The staff seems to really love their jobs. They’re smiling, they’re happy and the atmosphere is a warm and friendly compared to just about any other boarding facility I’ve ever taken mydogs. When I pick up my dogs, they’re always happy, never skinny , they look well taken care of and knowing that the staff likes their jobs makes me feel comfortable, dropping off my pets!
These are the sweetest people! My dogs love them! Laura is so good with them! My fur babies look amazing!! Thank you so much! AND I was able to afford it!!
I picked up my dog after being there for 3 nights (our first time here) and he was coughing horribly and was extremely fatigued. I called my vet who told me that he likely contracted kennel cough. On top of him getting kennel cough, his blood vessels in his eye had burst from coughing so hard. We had to cancel his surgery to get neutered because he was so sick. He was sick as soon as we got home so I’m assuming that he was starting to cough while at the kennel seeing how his blood vessel was burst. I never received a phone call and was not told anything about him being sick. I know that the workers can’t be around the dogs 24/7 but I just hope that if he was coughing while at the kennel that I would have been told.
Our girl loves visiting her friends at A1 B&B. She never hesitates to go there, so we know they take good care of her.
Have taken our black lab Finley here since he was a puppy and he is always so excited to go to A1 and we know when he has had a fun day playing when he comes home tired. So glad this dog daycare is near us
We have been taking pets to A1 Bed & Biscuit for over 12 years. My dog runs to the door as soon as we pull into parking lot. I feel she is well cared for and staff is terrific Once a few years ago she had signs of infection, the staff contacted my designated person, made appointment at our usual Vet and handled things perfectly. I was so thankful for their attention and observation before her eye got worse.
Great experiences with grooming and boarding for the past 4 years. Our golden doodle practically jumps out of the car window when we arrive to drop her off for boarding. She comes home exhausted because she’s had so much fun with the staff and the other dogs. Everyone has been very helpful and has always answered any questions we’ve had. The groomer does a fantastic job…Sadie comes home clean and fresh with a nice, even cut and trimmed nails. We have always had a great experience at A1.
A1 Bed & Biscuit Review - In loving memory of Duke I strongly urge anyone considering taking their dogs to A1 Bed & Biscuit to reconsider immediately! On Saturday, March 30th, 2024, I took my 9-year-old, St. Bernard, Duke, and my 11-year-old, English Bulldog, Brutus, for their monthly grooming visit. I was called as I was en route to pick up my dogs from the groomer. Laurie, the groomer, said that Duke had been panting excessively and could not stand up as his rear legs continued to give out. Laurie told me they put down rugs and towels to help Duke stand. When I arrived, Duke was in the hallway in complete distress. I picked up my dogs and called my wife to fill her in. Once I stopped home to drop off Brutus, we immediately went to Metropolitan Emergency Animal Hospital. Duke was taken back right away. The veterinarian broke the news to us that Duke suffered a heat stroke and had a temperature of 106, and needed to have a breathing tube inserted to stay alive as they ran further tests. Duke's bloodwork came back completely normal, and there were no underlying issues. Our son joined my wife and me while waiting in the private room. The veterinarian returned to update us on the side effects of heat stroke. Duke was in distress, and recovery was not likely. We were left with the difficult decision of putting our sweet baby boy down. Now wholly devastated, we returned home without our Duke. Laurie, his A1 Bed & Biscuit groomer called for an update. I told her that Duke was gone. I then received a random test message later that evening from what turned out to be Laurie's cell phone. Laurie expressed sincere compassion, which at the time seemed reassuring. Laurie even offered to pay our vet bill and stated how much she loved our dogs. I replied that it was not necessary as I, of course, thought this was a genuine act of kindness. On Sunday morning, I received another text from Tillie, an A1 Bed & Biscuit staffer. Again, she expressed her sympathy. Something felt off, though, as I reread her text messages and tried processing what had occurred. My wife and I discussed how this could happen and why it happened. We decided to ask Laurie some questions. It turns out Duke was left under a fan, which was different from what fans had been used on Duke in the past. Laurie admitted to talking it over with Tillie and said the fan motor generates heat. In my opinion, this is the only logical reason for Duke to have a heat stroke. I asked Laurie when she noticed Duke panting and his rear legs giving out. She answered it wasn't until she brought Duke over to do his final brush and nail trim. Laurie assumed Duke must have just been in pain. Laurie notified me that the fan had been taken out of service to prevent this from happening again, even though there had been no other incident. My final reply to Laurie was, that is a good thing, but it will never bring our Duke back! Her response: I'm so sorry. We believe they knew what happened, and if we hadn't asked the questions, we would never have gotten the answers. STAY CLEAR OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT if you LOVE your dogs!
If you’re looking for a place to board your dogs, look no further! I was nervous first bringing our dog Luna for an overnight stay back in January as I’d never had to board my previous dog. I was instantly relieved after seeing the photos of her they shared and after picking her up the next morning; happy, tired from playing all day, and safe! The handlers take such amazing care of her and I never worry about her when we are out of town. As soon as we pull into the driveway, she knows where we are and cannot wait to get out of the car! This place is truly the best! Thank you!!
My dog Leo goes to daycare at Ulti-Mutt (AKA dog paradise) twice per week and recently stayed for 1 week when we added a baby in the house. He also went to there Ulti-Muttesori school when he was younger with great results. The dogs have a fabulous time and he comes home exhausted. He knows the days he goes to Ulti-Mutt and is always super excited. We are so lucky to live close by, but for anyone who lives further, it is 100% worth the drive for the care they provide. They also do a great job with their grooming services. Highly recommend!
There is no better place for the dogs to stay/play. Clean, safe, FUN. Plus, they are pooped when they come home! Happy and tired doggies. Thank you Kelly and the rest of the awesome crew who provide a tremendous experience for our dogs.
Such a great local boarding facility. Compared to others this one takes the cake. The staff is super friendly and knowledgeable. It’s super clean and well maintained. If you care for your pup this is the best place to take them. Can’t wait to have ours stay more.
Our two Alaskan Malamutes have stayed at the Inn twice this year and both times were well cared for, well exercised and had a great experience overall. We will not hesitate to send them back to the inn!
Thank you UltiMutt for an awesome stay for our pup. She loves going to “camp”. We think she has a better time on her vacation than we do ours! :) We love the daily pictures. She always looks so happy!
Our golden, Leo, loved his stay at UltiMutt Inn! I was so very impressed with how clean the lobby area was. And the grounds looked beautiful. So much space for the dogs to run and play. I was nervous about leaving him for several days but felt much more at ease after meeting the staff and seeing the facility. We loved the pictures we received of him each day. Leo will definitely be back!
UltiMutt is the only place we’ll take our pooch with the exception of in-home sitting. Their facility is top notch, clean, staff is friendly, and the environment is calm for the animals. Couldn’t be happier with UltiMutt. Prices are also surprisingly reasonable with lots of options for extra activity add ons. Love it! Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for the turn into their drive. It is clearly marked but I missed it. I almost dropped our little guy off at the neighbors house the first visit.
Great place for your pup! We received daily updates, and the staff took great care to address any concerns or questions about our dog. She (our dog) seemed to have a great time and the option to get her a bath before pick up was a great add-on. Highly recommend this place! Word of advice, it's very popular so be sure to book any trips well in advance.
The Ultimutt Inn is the greatest source for all your kenneling needs. Our dogs for at least 6 years have been happiest when they get to see their “friends” and swim +play with them in our absence! We love the staff for loving on them while we are away! Look no further…
