Angeline
Topinabee, Michigan
All-star sitter who loves animals and traveling!
We recently had the pleasure of having Angeline and Desiree housesit and take care of our cats, Tiga and Bud. Throughout their stay, they maintained excellent communication, providing timely updates and sent us the best photos and videos of the kitties! They were great with managing our deliveries too. We returned to an immaculate apartment, and happy, relaxed and well-fed cats. Angeline and Desiree are reliable, friendly, and professional sitters we'd gladly welcome back. If you're searching for the perfect house sitters, look no further than this wonderful mother-daughter duo!
Desiree
Topinabee, Michigan
Remote worker looking to spend unique times w/your pets and home
This was my first time using zeewoi and I could not be more impressed with Desiree's services. She did an amazing job at taking care of my cat Mimi and my apartment while I was gone and I came back to my place cleaner than I left it and my cat happy and in good health. Desiree did an excellent job at communicating with me and frequently sent me pictures to ensure my cat was doing well. I was initially worried about leaving my cat with someone else while I was out of the country but I got SO lucky finding the most caring and kind person! Would highly recommend to anyone and I would definitely use her services again.
James
Topinabee, Michigan
JIM AND DEBORAH
This listing is for Jim, but he and wife, Deb are a package deal, especially when it comes to horse care. Deb is the horse person. Since they live in my area in the winter, only Jim stayed at my house while Deb stayed at home with their own dogs. She came at feeding times to make sure Jim was "on it" until he got accustomed. All went well. Did have a glitch with my well (it apparently was on its way out) but I was able to coach Jim over the phone on what to do. He was definitely fine with handling stuff like that and didn't get flustered (like me!) Due to a medical emergency on our trip, we had to come home a week early. I was grateful that they were local and I didn't mess up their plans! Hope to have them back in the future if my gang wasn't too much for them!
Jan
Topinabee, Michigan
Solo traveler, pet lover, and writer looking forward to meeting people and pets.
We, and Pele, love having Jan sit for us. We always know we’re leaving things in GREAT hands and can enjoy our trip more, knowing we don’t need to worry about anything. She managed the food, meds, and loop treatments with attention to detail; left the house immaculate as always; and kept us updated.
Steele
Topinabee, Michigan
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.
Linda
Topinabee, Michigan
Hi, I'm Linda. I'd love to care for your pets while you are away from home.
Linda and David were fantastic. A warm, caring couple who took excellent care of our dog and home. In all categories they rate 10 stars.
Dawn
Topinabee, Michigan
Retired college staff seeks East Coast travel (Nov-April), min 1 week.
Dawn was timely, helpful, left my home clean and neat, including washing and replacing all sheets and towels used b6 her. She sent daily pictures of her with my cat. My cat was so happy with Dawn that he has been sleeping on the bed she used instead of with me! Dawn was also very flexible about me returning a day early due to weather. I would use her again.
Reviews from Dog Owners
Scott
Regina did a great job. Showed up exactly when planned. House was cleaner when I arrived home than when I left. She kept in touch to a perfect degree and the dogs were in great shape. Good sitter and would recommend
Tamar
Julia was an amazing house sitter and dog sitter! She sent me photos and updates every day, she took my pup Jordan on long walks and gave him the love, care, and patience that he needs. She was so easy and comfortable to communicate with and she left the house so clean and tidy for when I came back. Definitely recommend her!!!
Jana
Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi. I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs. They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants. If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! Very happy 😃
Laura
This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased! Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another. Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.
Adrienne
We loved Misty!!!! She was absolutely the most perfect baby sitter for our dog and an amazing short term tenant at our house. Not only did she keep the house clean but she even washed everything she used before we got home. We even got a couple gifts from her. She is such a sweet human, kept in contact with us while we were gone and sent videos of the hikes and walks they went on. I would 100% ask her to stay at our house again
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!

First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Katherine
Angela was fantastic. She came a day early to meet us and our dog Bella and to get the lay of the land and we so enjoyed meeting her and getting to know her! She took care of our home and Bella with the utmost care and attention. She was great to communicate with throughout the sit and we felt confidant being away knowing our dog and home were in such good hands! We returned to a clean house and she even prepared dinner for us! It was clear that Bella was happy, well taken care of and very fond of her!! We would definitely recommend Angela. She was a reliable sitter and a delightful person all around!!
Christopher
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!
Paula
Lori and Joe took great care of our two dogs and tow cats while we were gone. Our plans changed and we actually asked if they could come a day before we had originally planned to leave and they said no problem! They even stayed over on the night we got home so that we could meet them which was very nice! Lori was very good with communication before the house sit and also during the time they were here. She let us they had arrived safely and then sent us a short text or pictures every day of the animals. The house looked cleaner than when we left it when we got home! Lori and Joe were great house sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them!

I have brought my dog Koda here to be groomed twice. I am trained to groom, but my busy schedule makes it tricky to find the time. Koda is an Akita, so he gets a bath and a deshed blowout. I was very pleased the first visit, as he was very well groomed, all of his undercoat was removed, and my boy barely shed for weeks afterwards. He was also treated exceptionally well by the groomer and the customer service was unmatched. He was a very happy dog! However, the second time we got him groomed here, I think there was a different groomer on staff. She was just as kind, nice, and professional, but when I picked Koda up he was still covered in hair and was still damp. His feet were wet enough to make marks on the sidewalks outside and on the seats of my car. When I got home, I had to give him another blowout with my own velocity dryer to get the remainder of the undercoat out and off of him and to finish drying him off. I was saddened at this second groom because his first one was so well done.
Norman had a great time at the Indian River Pet Resort. They gave him his favorite treat every night before bed. His routine stayed the same so coming home was not a huge adjustment. Thank you to the staff for taking g such great care of Norman! I highly recommend!
We love Indian River Pet Resort. This was the first time we've left our dog and it was great knowing he was there. Brad and his crew are the best.
Indian River Pet Resort's team is absolutely wonderful! I brought my shy Australian Shepherd here for a 2-week stay and she not only made friends with the team of ladies, but it sounds like she also had fun. Plus, they groomed her and she's so soft now! I really appreciate the team for answering all my questions and helping me book my dog's stay rather last minute. I also appreciated the live video stream of my dog's kennel while she was there. I had so much comfort that I knew she was safe and well cared for while I was on vacation. I will be taking my dog back when needed.
We miss you all at Indian River Pet Resort! Roux is no longer with us due to old age, but I want to let anyone looking for someone to take care of their pet, hands down your the best. We never worried about our old boy. ❤️
Our two kitties had a cat condo vacation while we were away. They were happy and relaxed when we picked them up. The cat room is tidy and roomy with really nice cat condos that have climbing and privacy shelves and food and cat box books.
What a great place,our Scruffer is a senior pekingese ,we were very nervous about leaving him for 10 days especially since he hasn't been boarded for 4yrs, the vet is next door and we signed permission to treat if needed. His kennel(4x8) had no access to Webcam but was able to text every day, and he was doing great. We live in The UP of MI was on our way to Detroit. They even bathed him and washed his bed and blanket since he was there more than 7 days. Great staff. Very happy all went well.
My husband and I booked 4 days at the “pet resort” here for our dogs to have quality, stress-free care while at our own wedding last October. With all the wedding prep, we didn’t want to question our dog’s safety. We were so excited to see them, but it turned out to be no fun at all. Right when we walked in, the lady at the front told us that she had to move one of our Boston terriers to a different cage (we had no clue of this). I was shocked and confused - we had left a list of phone numbers to call (our own and other family members who would answer 24/7 since it was our wedding weekend). She assured us that this was okay because it was an “indoor/ outdoor” cage. Our poor boy Boston terrier (who has anxiety) was separated from his sister for reasons they couldn’t explain and they said they couldn’t take him out, hence the indoor and outdoor cage. Our boy came back smelling like urine, along with his bed and toys we left him. At home, he doesn’t use a doggy door, so he probably had no idea that he was allowed to go outside on his own. When we pay for a service, we expect that it’s complete and that just didn’t happen here. Indian River Pet Resort gave up on our dog, put him in a cage for the whole weekend, and let him pee on himself. The lady at the front even said “he might have peed on himself!” because she could smell it too. I was beside myself. What are we supposed to say to that? Leaving your dogs is one of the hardest things to do; they are family. And it’s even worse picking them up in this condition. Guaranteed they wouldn’t treat any of their own dogs this way. We left the dogs with toys and a scooper in their food too - when we picked them up, the scooper was gone; just careless. I would skip this place and try somewhere else. I don’t think any pet parent would find it worth it. We left heartbroken.
We love taking our sweet pups here and have been for a few years! They are so patient and understanding and go above and beyond to care for our furry family member. Vixie always comes home tired out from all the fun she has! Our pups was a rescue with some quirks and we cannot express how much we appreciate their patient care! I wanted to update my review, which will always be 5 stars, and add that they are amazing! Great care next door at the veterinarian too! Highly recommend this place, they treat your pet like family. ❤
Last year, when my relatives/cat care started leaving for the winter, I sought out a kennel that could take my cat when I travelled for more than a couple days. I didn't know if there was such a thing in my area of Northern Michigan. I was aware of Indian River Pet Resort, so it was one that I visited. And I discovered that they have a dedicated and secure cat room with individual and spacious "kitty condos" that are sight and sound separated from the dog area. I tried my cat there and ended up boarding her there several times for up to ten days. This place has been an absolute godsend!!! It's modern, clean, reasonably priced, very accommodating and the staff provides great affectionate care for Sugar every time. She shows no nervousness about arriving there or any issues on pick up. I give IR Pet Resort my highest recommendation! P.S. When I'm there, the dogs out in the large fenced in yard appear to be having a ball playing with each other and the dog kennels inside are very large and secure looking too.

You know how it is when you come home from a trip and simply can't wait to pick up your beloved and happy-to-see-you pooch from the boarders? The next best thing to that feeling is being able to enjoy yourself while away -- knowing your fur babies are in good hands. And if you leave them with Julie, they most definitely are in good hands! She is knowledgeable in dog behavior, obviously loves and cares for them, and has a pretty cool kennel set-up. We won't take our dogs anywhere else. Thank you, Julie!
I have used them twice this year & my dog was excited when I took him back. Very clean facilities. I will continue using them. And Julie is good at working with my drop off & pick up times.
My Lacie girl LOVES Pikes Place and Julie! The accommodations are spacious and super clean, Lacie loves the outside runs, and I trust Julie with my dogs life! Plus, they take GREAT photos of your pet while you're away so you can catch a glimpse of them in action!
They're always so friendly, the facility is always clean and tidy, and pick-up/drop-off has always gone smooth. Our dog Grizz seems to really enjoy his time there with the staff and other dogs. Would gladly recommend Pike's Place!
We were so blessed to have found a very special boarding kennel, Pike’s Place, for our four legged “baby girl”. The facility is immaculate and provides a fun, safe, loving environment for those who need a home away from home. Julie’s love for animals is obvious the moment you step into the reception area. She answers all correspondences immediately and posts photos of visiting pets, allowing the owners to see their “babies” when separated. I HIGHLY recommend Julie and her boarding kennel; Pike’s Place, a jewel of Northern Michigan! We cannot thank you enough Julie!
If there were 10 stars I would have given that. The facility was super clean and well maintained. Each dog had a large indoor kennel with a doggie door that let them go outside whenever they pleased. You could tell the owner really cared about all the dogs and took great care of our German shepherd all weekend. We hate leaving our dog anywhere but when we picked her up she was very relaxed and slept the whole 4 hour ride home!
Julie did a great job with our little guy. We are always hesitant to leave him but the place was very clean, he had space to run and play and he came back happy and healthy. He loved playing fetch while he was there. When i was nervous how he was doing, Julie reassured us and sent us pictures.
Just picked up our pup from Pike’s Palace after a weekend stay. The kennels were clean and smelled good. They had played ball with our guy while he stayed. He was clean and happy when we picked him up.
Our dogs have been to Pikes Place 3 times in the last 3 months. Every time we go they’re happy to be there, and every time I pick them up they are happy. The facility is spotless and Julie is fantastic!!
Highly recommend. Very nice new facility, the owner has tons of dog experience. The kennels are in a heated and cooled building and are very clean and roomy with easy access to potty outside in their own runs as well as a large play area. Very convenient to Boyne Mountain, Boyne City, Petoskey and Charlevoix. I love my dogs and am picky, I would choose this place every time!
