Fun Furrogate Parents
Lynn and Jeff are the very best of zeewoi, my only regret is that we didn’t stay home to spend more time with them. They are kind, open, warm, straightforward people you will want as friends and neighbors; who love life, pets, homes, and new people as much as we do. They did break one rule: they left our house cleaner than they found it! Considering all the dead critter gifts our kitties brought them that was a big effort. I’m so grateful we crossed paths with this wonderful couple.
Desiree
Van, 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.

Experienced House Sitters Who will Care For Your home and Pets
Janet did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my home while I was gone for almost a month. She kept me posted regularly and responded quickly to a couple of requests I had to make while traveling. She is flexible and very reliable and I would definitely welcome her back to my home whenever she is available.

Great sitters - who were very nice to clean all the sheets and towels, and clean before I arrived from my month abroad.
Steele
Van, 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.

Dawn

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 Pet Owners

Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.
Ericka
Leah was an excellent pet sitter and take care of our home when we were on vacation. Our dogs were sad when she left. She even made us some delicious tacos when we got home from the airport! We highly recommend her!

Tom provided a last minute sit when my 2 week long trip got extended to the 3rd. The previous zeewoi sitter was no longer available for the 3rd week, and Tom came in as a savior. As requested, he started his sit a day prior to the posted dates (thank you for being flexible). He met the prior zeewoi in person, since I was not in town, and got to know the house and cats quickly. He sent pictures of the cats each day and added a note about their well being. He was independent and was able to figure out how to use the litter genie on his own. I returned to a clean home and healthy happy cats. Would love to have Tom return and recommend him to anyone leaving their pets in his care.
Laura
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.
Robyn
Anna and Alan were absolutely brilliant. This was my first time using a sitter for our pup and from the start Anna was reassuring and put me at complete ease. They sent regular pictures while we were away and were incredibly easy to communicate with. I'd highly recommend Anna and Alan for any pet sitting needs. Robyn
Lori
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!
Amina
Ramona and Brandon were the perfect sitters! They rescued me and were very accommodating with my needs. Ramona's communication with me was A1. We spoke multiple times before she arrived and throughout the sit. She was good at keeping me updated and I was very grateful for that, being so far away. The pets gravitated toward them from the moment they arrived and you could see that all she and Brandon wanted to do was spoil the pets with lots of cuddles. My female pup was in heat and they handled that very well and were able to keep her and my male dog separated. I could only imagine how exhausting that may have been but they didn't complain one bit. Ramona and Brandon had to hand over the sit to another sitter and were kind enough to write out the details and everything they observed to make the transition a seamless one. I must say, it helped tremendously. I'd have them back in a heartbeat to sit for me as they showed that I could trust them, not only to take care of my pets but to respect my home they way they would their own. Thanks again for making my trip away worth it!
Sara
Lyndsey and Jordan were wonderful pet sitters and house guests. They kept us informed of how our pets were doing and went above and beyond to care for them. We felt entirely comfortable leaving our home and pets in their hands and arrived home to find everything tidy and the pets well cared for. We would absolutely have them sit again if the need arose.
Josepha
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
Mara
Jerry and Suzanne were absolutely ideal sitters for our home and pets. We spoke with them ahead of their visit and could tell that they are genuine pet and travel lovers. Over their stay we got to see even more that they are wonderfully friendly, kind, and responsible - plus they kept us laughing with their updates and descriptions of our pets' antics while we were away. Our pets and plants were well loved and our house was spotless upon our return home, and they were even kind enough to leave a few goodies in the fridge. Our dog in particular seemed to miss them and their long walks around the neighborhood. Thank you Jerry and Suzanne! We wish you well in your travels!

Great experience for my young dog, Mister. We went to Macinac Island for the day. He stayed back at the kennel. Clean, affordable, and super sweet owner.
Carla was wonderful! She was very accommodating and her facility was extremely clean. This was our first time leaving our pups overnight anywhere and I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with her (one of our dogs has bad separation anxiety). She’s in a great location and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!
This is a fantastic place! I’m a very anxious pet parent and I get very nervous leaving my two small dogs for any amount of time, but felt great about the decision to board them overnight at Trailsend. The owner seems extremely kind and caring and the building is in great condition and well maintained. The kennels were all occupied when we were there, and none of the dogs seemed stressed or uncared for. I would absolutely board my dogs here again in the future.
I boarded my dog here when our usual kennel was full. I hadn't been aware of Trailsend until now. My boy was well taken care of and doesn't seem to be more annoyed than usual due to my choice. I will definitely use Trailsend again whenever my travels take me in their direction!
I highly recommend this kennel. We made a reservation and dropped off two dogs for the night. The place is clean and the owner is very friendly.
I'm very happy with Trailsend Kennel! My pup stayed 2 nights while we were in town for a wedding. Drop off was easy and put our minds at ease about leaving our pup. Carla listened to and read thru instructions I left. The kennel appeared extremely clean and well maintained. Pick-up was quick, with a brief summary of how our dog did. I would not hesitate to board with Trailsend again!
Cant say enough good things about this kennel. My 2 dogs are my absolute babies and i have a very hard time leaving them with anyone. Let alone a complete stranger when i am already out of my element being 3+ hours away from home. We were up in the UP for a snowmobile race my husband was racing in. We didn't find out until we were parking at the race that our dogs couldn't be there. So i dropped my husband off and left, trying to figure out what to do in order to still support my husband racing. I stumbled upon this kennel and reached out right away. Mind you it was a saturday morning around 9am. I got a call back maybe 30 mins later. They requested vaccination records which i was able to email over right away. and within a few mins of chatting i was heading that way to drop them off for "daycare". When i showed I wasnt worried at all leaving them. I filled out the paperwork and then headed back at their pick up time window and picked them up. The dogs seemed to have a great time and I was told they both did absolutely wonderful, which was surprising with the male having separation anxiety. I was told they are welcome back anytime and I will definitely be considering it again in the future if i ever find myself up there needing a dog sitter. I was also very pleased with it not feeling overpriced especially considering the area.
My wife and I were visiting Mac island for the day and needed a place to board our dog. The lady at TrailsEnd was amazing and our dog had a fabulous stay for the day. We didn't tell her, because we want to protect our dog, but he is a grand champion and comes from a bloodline of champions. My wife and I rarely board him and we check out the facilities with a deep background check. TrailsEnd had stellar reviews and we can see why. Our dog wasn't sure he wanted to leave...and he normally hates being boarded. If we ever head back there, we will board him again at their place. First class service and very friendly.
My parents had recently died and left me with their pets. I wasn’t able to being them into my house due to my pets “cats” had to leave them there couple of weeks. Rates were reasonable and the care…outstanding it was hard for me to get the Labrador to leave, lol. The owner truly cares for pets.
Be sure to call ahead of time to reserve a spot. We decided to leave him at the kennel while we went to the island since the weather was so icky and cold. The owner (I assume it was the owner) immediately greeted me when I arrived and took my boy out to the play yard before putting him in his kennel. He seemed well taken care of and was happy to see me when I went to pick him up. The only thing I would mention is to send bottled water with your pup if they aren’t used to well water. For what it’s worth it’s extremely affordable. I will be recommending this place for anyone visiting mackinaw with their pups.

This place was Tremendous!!!! They took great care of our kittycat, Matchka who was fighting mammary gland cancer. The woman who was running things was an Angel and let us visit her every morning. Matchka hissed at her & everyone else but this amazing woman lived Matchka regardless and took extra special care of her. I would recommend this place to everyone. Matchka had a better view than we did at our resort because she had a gorgeous view of Lake Michigan out her gigantic window.
The ownership and staff is so friendly and the best part is my dogs love to be boarded here! My dogs literally pull me into the facility at drop off.
Love 😘 my daisy always get good care what a difference Marianne is the best …
They take great care of your pet. They love our pup and he is always in great shape when we pick him up. They do very well with pets who need medication and a little extra TLC. He loves this place!
Staff here are wonderful with the animals and spend a bit of time with each pet that is staying at their resort. The layout of the facility is great, insofar as when a cat comes in for a stay, s/he doesn't have to be taken past any barking dogs to get to her/his boarding area and vice versa. My cat was a guest here for about a week and I had an opportunity to go in to visit with her. The cat room was quiet and peaceful and the spaces were large and luxurious.
Easy to spot off of the highway. Plenty of parking and the owners do a very good job of keep spots open and snow and ice plowing in the winter. There are some very lively birds when you enter, as well as a few different knick-knacks to buy. Reasonable prices on these, but their bathing prices cannot be beat. My dog is always clean and fresh and a ton of hair removed from him. They send him off in a handsome little bandana and we keep coming back! I highly recommend this place! Very friendly staff and their work is wonderful!
I go to Walmart every 2 weeks. With the remodeling it has been talking a little longer. Hopefully they will be done soon. Then we will get more used to it.
My Lacie girl loves it. Susan and Gail spoil her.
Good place to board when going out of town for a few days. They are comfortable boarding Birds as well as cats and dogs, so that was a big plus for me. Right across the parking lot is a veterinarian's office so if you had an emergency there you'd be in luck.
What I like about this place is that my dog loves it. When I leave him it makes me feel better that I know he's in a great spot with people who really enjoy him. It seems to be more than just a job with all the people here and it shows.
