Full time traveling couple wanting to hang out with your cool pets!
Shauna and Craig kept in touch every day with pictures of kitties and how they were doing even though no expectation was set for an update, so they did that of their own accord. They were easy to communicate with and very friendly. House was immaculate when we returned and one of our kitties sheds a lot. They even left us a little gift. We would love to have them return again!

Responsible house sitter that will care for your home/pets as if they were mine.
I would highly recommend Tracey. She is kind, caring and easy to work with. This is the second time Tracey has come to stay with Boz. Like before, she was responsible, dependable, clean, self sufficient, and Boz was a happy girl when I got home. The garden was also well taken care of. Thanks so much Tracey. You are welcome back anytime!

Loving care for your pets & home
I was very nervous about leaving my senior rescue dog with a new set of humans…he had been through a lot. But from the moment Dani and Dawn walked in , I knew everything would be fine. They are both very relaxed and kind and Beau took to them immediately. They took exceptional care of my dog AND my home. I came back to a happy dog and a spotless house. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Dani and Dawn. Beau misses you!

Chris and Barb were great pet and house sitters! Our dog Arthur was sad to see them leave and us arrive! They left our home even cleaner and tidier than when we left, and we appreciate all they did to look after Arthur.

Responsible, considerate, and well-traveled couple seeking short and long stays
Lauren and Jeremy were wonderful house sitters. I would ask them back or recommend them without hesitation. They communicated clearly, and took wonderful care my pets, house and garden. They left the place cleaner than it started and generously offered to help in ways that I hadn't asked but that were very kind and thoughtful. I felt very comfortable with my animals and home in their care.

Teacher/petsitter dreaming of making petsitting and traveling a reality!
When we select a sitter, we read every review in addition to conducting some sort of video interview. We really rely upon the experiences of past hosts, so that’s why I believe it important to be honest in this review. I love giving out 5 star reviews and do quite frequently, but I also need to share any less-than-positive experiences as well for those hosts who rely upon reviews such as we do. As such, I’m a bit ambivalent about writing this review of Katie, as there were some really good things Katie did while here. She is a lovely, energetic woman who responded immediately to the concerns I voiced to her during the time she watched our pets; however, the “negatives” we experienced speak to the heart of the importance of having a dedicated pet sitter. For the most part, our home was left tidy and neat – which is no small feat as ours is a large house and I appreciate the care Katie took in ensuring we walked into a clean home. That said, Katie failed to notice my dogs had urinated in both of their dog beds and on the floor of our downstairs office, which we believed happened in the first part of the sit and resulted in the downstairs smelling of stale urine. Further, because she didn’t notice the urine, my pets, when downstairs, had to either sleep on the bare floor or in wet beds, neither of which is a satisfactory option. Also, my dogs don’t generally urinate in the house as they have access to a doggie door, and this seemed more a sign of their distress or discomfort. I believe this incident was part of a larger problem I experienced with Katie and that was in the manner in which she approached this sit. I advertised dates of July 6 – July 22. We generally ask our sitters to come in a day or two early as to walk them through the schedule for both our animals and our many plants, as well as to give them time to get to know the animals and experience a little of the town we live in. We also provide a very detailed introduction and welcome guide which outlines our expectations. Katie came in late in the day on the 7th, without personal transportation, which necessitated us picking her up and then my neighbor taking her to a rental cart company the next day because we left very early on the morning of the 8th. This abbreviated introductory time didn’t allow us to fully prepare Katie for the sit and allowed for some apparent “misunderstandings.” The “issue” for me was for the first five days of our 13-day trip, Katie was away from the house for up to 13 hours at a time – leaving our two, older rescue dogs, who have some separation anxiety - alone and with an extended time between meals. It was clear Katie was using this opportunity to visit many of the beautiful areas which surround where we live – hence using our home as more of an Airbnb to vacation – than a house sit dedicated to caring for our animals. Our dogs are fine with being alone for up to six hours but even that, for multiple days in a row, is, frankly, distressing to our animals and to us, as owners. To Katie’s credit, when I called and brought her daily, extended time away to her attention and reiterated my wishes the dogs not be left for more than 6 hours, she changed her schedule and while still gone every day, capped her time away at six hours. And, as I said, she is cheerful and responsive; hence, the ambivalence is positing my concerns with this sit. I think if Katie is provided with very clear expectations prior to the sit and understands exactly what is needed and expected, she will absolutely deliver. For whatever reason, from the start, this sit was rushed, there appeared to be too many misunderstandings, and it ended up being frustrating for us in ways other sits have not been.
Janis and her husband Dan were beyond phenomenal! Communication was great leading up to their arrival, especially with coordinating arrival and departure times. And during the sit, I got lots of picture updates throughout of how Isabel was doing. I could tell from the pictures how comfortable and happy my dog was hanging out with Janis and Dan and getting all the pets and attention. Coming home, everything was left so clean and organized. I definitely recommend them as pet sitters as they clearly took such good care of both my pup and my home.
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
Davis and Sydney were loving sitters for our pets. We even had an extra cat (our son's) and they took great care of all of the pets and our home. The pictures and the comments they sent showed us they figured out all of their quirky personalities very fast. It was nice to come home to a clean house and all pets were safe and happy! We would ask them back again.
Carolina was a fantastic Pet sitter. From the beginning, it was straightforward to communicate with her. She met us before we left our trip and ensured she understood all the house and pet logistics. Luna and Cal were very comfortable with her and were best friends with her fast. She was very affectionate with them, and Luna and Cal loved her and were very happy with her. Carolina was very responsive and sent updates. She was really lovely and easy to communicate with. She was very respectful of our space and very tidy. She even washed the sheets and towels she used even when she didn’t need to. She put a lot of care into caring for Luna and Cal, and they looked very comfortable with her. Having Carolina as a pet sitter made our trip very easy, knowing our pets were cared for so well. We would love to have her back to sit for us again and highly recommend her.
Angelica was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog Rosie! She was easy to communicate with before and during the sit (very responsive), and made time to do a walk through of our house/intro to Rosie prior to the sit. She was extremely reliable throughout the process, and left our house really neat. Rosie was happy when we got home! We'd be happy to have Angelica sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone!
Elaine was the best dog and cat sitter I have ever had! She was so loving to the boys, kind, reliable, capable and took fabulous care of my two dogs and cat welfare. Walked them every day and would even sing to them (-: I am so very grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting Elaine and I would recommend Elaine to anyone wanting first class care of pets and home!!! We all miss having her around and wish her a fabulous world trip and safe journey back to the States.
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)

Christy is so kind, compassionate, understanding, and fun! She took great care of our 2 dogs over a long weekend. Her general knowledge of dogs blew my mind! The facility is very clean, very big, and Christy works hard to ensure the dogs all have a great experience. I will only use Camp Christy!
We have been using Christy's boarding service for several years and she is always flexible and cares for our English Mastiff as if she were her own. The space is perfect and every dog there gets personal attention and plenty of time out of their kennel for exercise and cuddles!!!
Christy was so kind and professional, flexible, and great with communication. I was nervous about boarding our dog for the first time, but she was well cared for and had a fun time while we were gone on vacation. I felt like Christy loved her like we do. We will definitely use her boarding services again.
We had a family member in hospice, and they were rapidly declining...so we had to rush out to Allegan from our hometown in the Detroit suburbs. We needed to board our three dogs on Memorial day weekend. Our local dog boarding was booked, so I called Camp Christy and by luck she had three spots open. Christy is very knowledgeable, and dogs are her profession. I chose her facility because it was further off the main roads than the other facilities. After meeting Christy and seeing the yard, the accommodations where our dogs were sleeping, we were able to tend to our family's needs, and not worry about our dogs. They were in great hands, and all had a great time there. I cannot thank them enough. Really great people.
I highly recommended Camp Christy. When I go on vacation I know my dogs are being very well taken care of. I love how Christy’s facility has its own living room and tv for the dogs. I like that my dogs get couch time hanging out. My dogs come home happy and tired. Christy also trains dogs and she has trained several of my dogs over the years. Christy is definitely is a great mentor and lots of experience with dogs.
We love it when Christy takes care of our fur babies. Whenever we drop them off we know that they are getting the best care. She makes sure that they have plenty of play and rest time. Plus we can get them groomed while they are there. Nice big yard for them to play in and large kennels with cots, toys, and blankets for them to be comfortable while they lounge. I would recommend camp Christy for anyone who needs doggy daycare either for the day or for extended periods.
The best! Christy cleans yard and kennels multiple times daily and works with all the dogs both inside and out. There is no more thoughtful care anywhere!
Camp Christy is pristine, while the facility is a little "rough around the edges" it is so clean you could almost eat off the floor, she keeps the yard clean, and the dogs are happy and well adjusted when they leave. My dogs LOVE going and working with Christy, because she has a true understanding of animal behavior and husbandry. I would recommend her to ANYONE.
I would give Camp Christy 10 stars. Her place is very clean and well maintained. She does spend alot of time playing with the dogs who visit her. They get couch time,with her so they don't have to be kenneled all the time. It's an awesome place and I would Never take my dogs anywhere else to board or train. I have Italian greyhounds. They love Christy.
I've been boarding my dog's at Camp Christy for the past 2 years. She gives them individualized attention and a lot of time outside. I get to see photos of my dogs playing on her Facebook page which I love. I appreciate the care she puts into my dogs. She even grooms them upon request! They come home clean and happy everytime. Thank you!
We left our 8yr old German Shepherd with Countryside for 10 days while we went on vacation. This is the first time she has been boarded and I was pretty nervous leaving her. When we arrived the staff was so kind and gave us a tour of where …
Countryside Kennels is the best in the area. Winn loves visiting for doggie daycare and has boarded during long vacations several times. He is always happy and excited when we arrive. The doggie dome is awesome and a great fit for friendly, social dogs. I researched and used several kennels in West Michigan and have found no better then Countryside. The staff is amazing and kind and the facility is awesome. I drive almost 45 minutes to use them and for good reason. They give your dog a fun and loving environment.
Edit: added 1 star due to positive response from owner. We used Countryside Kennels two times over the past year, and both times our dog came home with diarrhea that lasted several days. She also came home smelling like fecies, but also smelling of some sort of sweet detergent-like smell. My hunch is that they never let her outside to go to the bathroom, so she defecated in her kennel and instead of bathing the feces off her, they used one of those chemical handy wipes, and when she licked herself clean she ingested some of the chemicals from the handy wipes, giving her diarrhea. I would caution anyone against using this already-expensive kennel, but if you do make sure tack on the additional expense of extra outside time. We have reverted to driving 45 minutes to a kennel in Rockford that we trust. Our dog has never gotten sick one time out of a dozen or so visits.
This Kennel is awesome. They are so kind and helpful. Simon love’s going there
We've taken our dogs here several times for day care, and they always come home happy and exhausted. It was because of this that we trusted Countryside enough to leave our dogs with them for two weeks. We could not have been happier. The dogs were healthy, happy, and clean at the end of two weeks. The way they spoke of our dogs it was obvious that they spent quality time with each one, enough to really understand their very different personalities. I feel the love and care they show each dog is exceptional, and we'll continue to bring our dogs here.
I am grateful for the pleasant experience we had boarding out dog at Countryside! Our pup normally gets watched by friends and family and he hadn't been to boarding in a long time. Naturally, I was diligent in finding a place that was welcoming and accommodating to our dog and most especially allowed play time during his weekend stay. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, and when we picked him up he was wiped, which is a happy sign that he got some great play time during his stay. The staff also obliged in my phone call to check in on him as well. Although we do not board our dog often & live outside of town, we will most certainly make Countryside our #1 choice for our dog's care and we will happily make the drive for their service when needed. Thanks, Countryside!
My family has sent our dogs here for the past....+15 years? They have ALWAYS been given excellent care. Since most of our pets have been Australian Shepherds, we have also taken the chance to have them groomed while they were boarding there. The grooming as well has been excellent, and they always come back with a spray, or conditioner, smell that is amazing! Now that I am married, with a pet of my own. (And planning a vacation soon) I will be phoning you Monday morn to make an appointment for my own family dog. I look forward to doing business with you again ! And writing another positive updated review!!!
Countryside Kennels is amazing!! My lab Gus loves going there! He knows the way to the kennel and when we turn down the road he goes nuts with excitement!! They are so nice and caring! I have never had an issue with them!! When I was on my honeymoon they were awesome about letting me call and get little updates on Gus since it was the longest he had ever been boarded!! I highly recommend them to anyone!!
My Golden Retriever is just a year old and we have brought him there about 5 times now and each and Every time it has been an Amazing Experience!!! He is Perfectly groomed and smells soo good! His coat feels like he has his puppy coat again (incredibly Soft and smooth!) My dog absolutely Loves going to "The Kennel" because he knows how much fun he has there! Thank you so much Country Side Kennels for taking such amazing care of my baby boy!!! Highly, HIGHLY recommended!
Our "baby" is a high maintenance one, however, we have definitely found the place to comfort him when we are away. We've brought our dog here for a few years now and have been very happy with the services. Our "baby" seems to always be happy to come and the customer services is great! I believe her name is Patti, but she is so sweet to our baby and I know he gets great care from her. From the minute we make the appt on the phone to when we pick him up, she is just so bubbly! Charlie is always smelling so fresh when he leaves and this is the place we'll continue to go!
Professional, loving, and thoughtful. We couldn’t be happier with the fantastic service. Our older cats are happy and healthy when we return from trips, and our minds are at ease knowing they are in good hands. Flexible scheduling helped with food and med administration. A+
They did a wonderful job taking care of my furbaby while I was out of town. I would definitely use them again.
My wife tried multiple times to reach them and I am a witness of at lest one voice message left. They didn’t return the calls and now are saying they were not contacted. We had to leave our dear dog home :(
They take great care of our puppies. a home away from home.
Lovely owner. Treats you like a friend. Great with furbabies.
My kitty Pete's home away from home. Great individualized care.
