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!
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
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.
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.
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!
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Lisa and Matt were absolutely fantastic sitters for us and our dog, Moose. Not only were they flexible when our flight was changed last minute, they also were able to stay an extra day to accommodate the changes. They communicated with us promptly during the scheduling and planning process for the housesit. They arrived on time on the (re)scheduled day. They acclimated to our dog very quickly and gave us piece of mind as we left by taking him on a walk to avoid his separation anxiety. We chatted every day and exchanged photos of Moose playing at the beach and in the yard. He was so happy! No problems were encountered with the house. Even our neighbors commented on how friendly and kind Lisa and Matt both were and how they really cared for Moose. The house was spotless when we returned. Everything in proper order, better than we left it. We can't thank them enough for the excellent experience!
Hamsa was very quick to respond in all communication. She was prompt on her arrival and listened carefully to our detailed instructions about the house and dogs. While we were away the amount of communication between us was just right. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and the house was in order. A good sign that a dog sitter paid lots of attention to the pups is when we see a bit of depression set in after a dog sitter departs - this did occur after Hamsa left our home She is a very caring and nurturing individual.
This was our first experience with TH and we are very pleased. From the moment Rose arrived we knew she was the right sitter for our “kids”. Communication while we were away was great with pics of the dogs as well as text messages. Rose cared for our home and our “kids” with great care, she is very conscientious of your space. Extremely pleased with the care she provided to our “kids” and our home. We have another trip planned in a couple of weeks and are happy Rose will be staying in our home again. I highly recommend Rose as a sitter!
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!

The facility was clean and spacious and the owners are wonderful people. They made me feel comfortable when I dropped my dog off and when I picked him up he was bright and happy. This is definitely a wonderful kennel and I would both recommend and will go back in the future.
Nice clean kennels. Very friendly owners. We would definitely hire their "fur baby" services again.
We were traveling through town with our dogs and wanted a safe place to leave our pups while visiting Isle Royale National Park. The owner made me feel comfortable from the first phone call - and we had a great experience from start to finish. We are always hesitant to leave our dogs with people we don’t know but I would recommend Kozy Quincy Kennels to anyone and would be sure to use them again if I returned to the area. Thank you so much!
We had never boarded our 6 month old puppy before, and needed to board her far away from home to visit Isle Royale NP, but keep her with us on the rest of our long trip. Trisha took great care of her, and was very gentle and reassuring with me before we left her. The facilities were spotlessly clean, and our pup was well taken care of. Highly recommend!
The owner and her lovely daughter were sweet and helpful!!
Kenneled my 2 labs when visiting the area. Very clean facility and caring owners. Would definitely use again.
Clean, professional facility operated by a nice family that loves dogs! They treated our dogs very well and we will definitely use their services again.
We were very pleased with this kennel. The owners are easy to work with and the facility is immaculate. Highly recommend.
Very clean and dog friendly. We were impressed with how well our dog was treated.
Clean and well maintained. Accepted a reservation on a short notice. Good price. Friendly owners took good care of my dog.
Very pleased with Top Dog Kennels. Tom and Tina took great care of our German Shepherd and even replied with text messages to let us know how he was doing during his stay. The kennel was very clean. I also liked the option of taking him for a walk. I would highly recommend this kennel for boarding your dog.
We rarely leave our dogs with a kennel, but when we do it's Top Dog Kennels! The environment is friendly, clean and organized. They have an appreciation and respect for the multitude of personalities that dogs will present. We were concerned about how one of our dogs would handle being with so many other dogs. In response, Tom made sure to provide him with the attention and outdoor space he needed. We have never had any issues and trust our dogs to their care.
I booked reservations to board my dog while I was camping, I decided I was just going to keep my dog camping with me. I did drive up to pay the owners for my cancellation. They seemed like nice people. The kennel building and surrounding area looked well taken care of. I would recommend them for boarding. Although I would rather make my reservations over the phone, their online system and response was fast and acceptable.
We were very happy with our experience at Top Dog Kennels. We boarded our 2 labs there over a weekend. Online reservation system worked great and we received timely responses to our questions. Tom and Tina were very accommodating to meet a special request. The kennel was clean and well organized. We will definitely use their services again when we are in need. Highly recommend.
From out of town but needed a sitter for the day to visit the National Park. The online reservation process was easy and Tom was timely in his responses. Our dogs are always with us but spent a day at Top Dog and enjoyed it! The facility was very clean and the other dogs seemed happy. Tina was caring and flexible. We highly recommend Top Dog!
My Bernie has stayed there twice and I'm just about to book a third stay. Tom and Tina have taken great care of my girl and she clearly loves them. Highly recommend!!
Tina and Tom were amazing caretakers for my 4 year and 5 month old Bernese Mountain dogs. It was my puppy's first time at the kennel and when I brought them back for daycare the next day they ran right into their kennels -- not even a glance back. Both dogs looked like they felt really comfortable right from the start. The kennels are clean and airy. They are really close to the Holiday Inn Express which was convenient for doing day care while I was at meetings.
Our family was heading up to Mt. Bohemia for a snowboard trip and wanted to find a good kennel close to the resort. Found this online and SO happy we did. Our 4-year english springer, Oliver seemed to have a really great time. It was a little hard to get ahold of Tom at first (sent an email, online inquiry and called) but eventually we got that worked out! The kennel was easy to find, clean and had good sized individual runs for the dogs. Plus - a fenced in play-yard for the dogs to go out several times a day. Tom was very nice and attentive with the dogs. Price was great, the 24-hr access when we prepaid and ease of check-in made this place the perfect spot to drop Oliver. If/when we are in the area we will definitely go back. It was also a nice touch to receive a text about an hour after drop-off to show our pup making a new friend and enjoying play-time.
Tom and Tina are the best. Murphy loves it at Top Dog Kennels. Murphy takes meds twice a day and we trust them to give Murphy the best care possible!
We just boarded our 13 year old Lab/Shepherd with Tom & Tina for the 3rd time. The first two times she was fine there and they took wonderful care of her, giving her numerous meds several times per day, and she seemed to really like Tom. The kennel is so clean too! The first time we took her there last year, I tried to say goodbye to her, but she was following Tom all around, ignoring me, so I knew she was in a good place! Since the 2nd time we left her there, she developed arthritis in her back and hind legs and was on an additional two meds, and did got get around as well as before. I felt so bad leaving her because she's so old and set in her ways, but we decided we really needed to visit our daughter. I booked her for 14 days, but on the morning of the 8th day, Monday, Tina texted me that she hadn't eaten since Saturday. They asked about her favorite foods, and I told them she loved baked chicken. They had tried everything to get her to eat and we were 800 miles away so we couldn't do much. Tina went out and got a rotisserie chicken for her while Tom made rice to mix with it, and they offered that to her and she still wouldn't eat! I suggested that maybe if my brother (our dog loves him!) came to visit her it would help, and as a last resort, he could take her to our house and babysit her off and on until we could get back Weds. night. He went to see her with his work truck and she perked up, but still wouldn't eat, so Tom & Tina thought maybe taking her back to our house as I suggested, to familiar surroundings would be the best. Since he had no room in his truck, they loaded her and everything of hers into their van and followed him to our house (25 minute drive), where my brother took over her care, and within a few hours, she was eating again. He spent time with her off & on til we returned home , and when we did, she was full of life and energy and we took her for walk right away. We all agreed she must've been depressed and lost hope that we were coming back to get her. We were never away from her for that long. So sad! We will not be going anywhere together again for more than a day while she is still with us. We have used most of the kennels in the area over the past 30 years, but Tom & Tina are by far the best people in the area to take care of your dog! They go above and beyond!!! I would highly recommend them! They love dogs and the dogs love them too!
