Rose and mark were fantastic. Very professional and caring sitters. I never felt that I needed to worry about anything. They left my home in the condition as if they had never been there. I, absolutely couldn't have been more impressed and pleased.
Lifelong pet lover, longtime pet sitter!
Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.

I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Caring and loving pet-sitter.
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Fit and fun "young" retired couple offer peace of mind while you are away!
Everything was great even though they were here for some unfortunate circumstances (hurricane and extended power outage). Sent frequent updates and our cat seemed to like them.
Experienced housesitters looking to travel and make some furry friends!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
WFH researcher excited to provide quality care to your furry loved ones!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Experienced and zeewoi with excellent references!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Intrepid traveler and animal lover
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
Experienced sitter, 5-star reviews. Meticulous, quiet, non-smoker.
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle

Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.

Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
Monique was very nice and easy to schedule with. She sent us pictures of our dog Maisie while we were away, which we enjoyed seeing. Maisie was well cared for and had gotten plenty of exercise by the time we got home. The house was spotless, which was lovely to come home to! She had taken the trash and recycling bins out, even though we hadn’t mentioned them to her before we left. She made sure to let us know if anything was amiss so there were no surprises when we returned. Would definitely recommend her as a pet and house sitter for others. :)
Kelly and Chris are lovely people and we loved having them at the house! They were very engaged from the start, asking questions and wanting to know all the details on our pets. We were completely comfortable going away and didn’t worry during our trip knowing our kiddos were in such great hands. K & C gave us pics & updates as requested, and we loved seeing our pets have such a good time with them! They left the house in as good or better shake as it was found, laundering and folding linens and tidying up so well we could hardly tell they stayed here! They were communicative before the sit, during, and after. Kelly and Chris were the ideal sitters in every way. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to others. Thanks you two!
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!
Debra was a Great pet and house sitter !! She communicated well throughout our long trip and sent us frequent pictures of all of our pets. She watered our plants and brought in all the mail. Our home was immaculate when we arrived home and the dogs and cat were super happy !! I would recommend Debra as a wonderful, responsible and reliable pet and house sitter !
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!
Shella was a great house sitter and I had no concerns leaving her in charge when we went away. She kept in touch while we were away and we returned to happy pets and a tidy house. What more can you ask?! I would be more than happy to welcome Shella back to house sit another time.
Heath spent a long weekend at my home taking great care of both dogs and the cat. He was able to help out on rather short notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving my pets in his care. Heath is friendly and reliable and left my home neat and tidy. I would definitely recommend him as a house/pet sitter for future assignments!

Tammy is great, Perri LOVES her!
Friendly caring people
Fantastic place to board your dog! We have had Belgian Malinois’ for years. They’re high energy, highly intelligent dogs that don’t typically do well at boarding facilities. Cupps Kennels is one of only two boarding kennels that I’ve found that our Mal did well at while boarding. They take fantastic care of the dogs in their kennels, and are very well educated on various breeds’ needs. Highly recommend them!
my parents had a bit of nightmare situation when picking up our dogs from cupps’ this last monday. one of our three doggies had a horribly infected deep cut on her foot. when we asked why they hadn’t taken her to the vet, or at the very least informed us of her injury, they claimed that they feared a weekend vet visit would be too costly. our sweet senior doggy JD ended up needing several stitches and treatment for an infection that the vets told us was caused by her untreated wound and could possibly result in her losing part of her leg. thankfully our senior pup is a strong lady that will hopefully make a full recovery without surgery, but we felt it was necessary to share how disappointed and dismayed with our experience at cupps’. unfortunately we will not be returning and our advice to anyone who decides to use their service would be to ensure they will contact you immediately if your pet gets injured or sick. attaching one pic of her paw after our vet visit and the other two from over christmas to show what a cute sweetie she is, who deserved better more adequate care.
It's either a trip to Cupp's or Grandma's house. I wouldn't trust my babies with anyone else. :) Clean kennels, outdoor play area, wonderful people. I would stay there myself! Here's our two excited to go to "doggy daycare."
My dog Chloe was very happy at Cupp's. The facilities are clean and the Cupp family really cares about the pets in their care. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I was very impressed with the stalls all of the dogs were staying in as they were extremely clean and has everything necessary! I may have done something wrong, however I did not see any human when I went to pick my dog up, nor did I get a report or feedback regarding his behavior/if he was able to go out with other dogs. This concerned me as I was a first timer and I would have appreciated more feedback regarding my dogs stay.
So happy to have found this place! My two pointers LOVE it there! Spacious, clean, and the pups were so happy when I picked them up! Also was able to call for an update to see how they were doing, which I appreciate being able to do! Will use again-
Great facilities and grounds with very caring people that communicate well. We'll be back!
We LOVE this kennel for our dogs!! They treat each dog as if it was their own. Very thankful to have such a loving place for our dogs to stay. Thank you, Cupps'!!
my pup rowan couldnt have been happier while he was there. very sweet and humble people we will sure go back!
Cupps Dog Boarding Is Awesome! They Are Great With All Of The Dogs! Very Nice As Well And Easy To Work With.
Our girls just came home from getting groomed and the owner did an exceptional job. We are so pleased with their cuts and will definitely schedule again, when we are here next summer. Thank you very much.
We have been taking our bear to wags and purrs since he was a puppy… 4 years now and he is always happy when he has a fresh haircut! The owner treats him well, gets us in everytime and her work is amazing! Highly recommended groomers!
I took my Golden Doodle in for a much needed haircut. I was very impressed with their job on her. She looked totally different but happy. We will take her back when she is ready for her next trim. Thank you very much.
Sometimes you I'll get a recording when you call. I just drove over with my pups for a last minute nail trim when I had time off and was able to walk in on a Tuesday. They will also schedule nail trims on Saturday. Very nice folks.
They took great care of my baby and made him presentable again. They’ll definitely be my go-to for dog grooming and boarding.
It was my puppy's first grooming and they did a fantastic job! Reasonably priced too. Will go back.
This was the first time we boarded a pet. Affordable, clean, and friendly. Definitely can recommend them.
My experience is always excellent. Always try to work you in if possible. My dog Sasha is never afraid to go, they are so gentle with her. She is a tea cup Yorkie with a bad hip. I live in Alpena and drive to Petoskey to have her groomed and they are worth the drive to take her there.
We can't thank them enough for always taking great care of our dog's (and of course, us). We get our dog's hair and nails trimmed and they come out looking great everytime. Always on time, always great service and would highly recommend.
I looked at a lot of reviews, but wags and purrs had the best reviews. My pooches looked and I'm sure felt better. I told her about the special needs of my elder pups. She took great care and my pups are very happy now. Thank you so much. I definitely will be back.
This place is amazing! Awesome staff, unique setup for drop off / pick up, very clean and my dog comes home happy every time!! Highly recommend.
I had gone to the Mancelona area on vacation, and brought my dog Polly with me. It had only taken a few to realize how much of the stuff I wanted to do, just couldn't be done with her in tow. So, I took a day, and put her in the daycare. This place was amazing. I was shocked at how clean everything was, and how hard the owner worked at keeping everything perfect. I picked up Polly in the evening and she seemed to be both happy and worn out, as I'm certain she was doing much running and being a dog. I'd give this place a perfect rating on the Rikki Recommends scale... So if you're looking to have a bit of vacation to yourself, or you just need a break from Fido... Check this place out.
We have to go out of town around the holidays, so we wanted to start our pup off with a few doggy daycare visits to get him used to the facility. Communication was wonderful, prices were accommodating and the facility was clean and welcoming. They posted photos of our guy having fun and made sure we had all the information we needed for a safe stay.
Julie & Megan were absolutely amazing. We took a trip out west for 2 weeks and boarded our 2 dogs for the first time ever. Naturally, we were anxious to leave them for so long, but Julie was incredibly communicative and accommodating. Our boys were safe and happy and well taken care of, I could not have asked for a better home away from home for our fur children. HIGHLY recommend Meadow Pond....they are fantastic!
We love Meadowpond. Our dog Duke can be a pretty big baby when it comes to being boarded, but they take great care of him, and his kennel is always very clean and tidy. The security is awesome too! We appreciate the peace of mine knowing he’s in a great place!
Very clean with kind, helpful staff. I took my Newfoundland for a Day Care stay. I think I was more stressed than she was! I will definitely be using them again for any dog care needs I may have in the future. The 24/7 check in and out is wonderful, too!
My dog loves it here! We have absolutely trust in them to care for our girl. Thank You! She's so worn out when she comes home : D
My dog stayed all day. She was supposed to be overnight but we got back at 11pm so picked her up. I never saw the owner or assistants. It was clean and pretty, like nice little hotel rooms. Not sure what care they get on longer stays but my dog seemed fine.. had water and food. I would use for short a night or two for sure
Have been here multiple times from needing dog grooming to a hotel stay for the pooch! The staff is very kind to everyone and the love they have for pets show! Someone is usually around at all hours and always a phone call away!! They have allowed me to take my other dogs to the playground on site while finishing the grooming on the other pup. I highly recommend them, prices are set with the area and times in mind and I find them more than fair. Will continue to use their services!!! Great Job Meadow Pond Resort Staff!
Took our dog here for an overnight. The system they have set up for drop off and pick up is awesome. The place is clean. Only thing I was concerned about was that they left the doggie door open all the time, so the dogs may get cold throughout the day in the winter. Next time, I’ll put a coat on him and maybe bring a crate and wrap it with a blanket for that purpose. My dog was really hoarse/no voice when I picked him up which made me feel like he never stopped barking. To be fair, my dog barks a lot, especially when in an unfamiliar place. So that was probably not due to any shortcomings of this place but I wondered how many times he was able to interact with humans while he was there. It seems very professional, very very clean. Fair prices. They were available on a holiday (Easter) weekend, last minute. Will definitely come again. I do hope that I get to meet the owners/staff next time, as I wasn’t able to this time, but I was able to chat with one on the phone who seemed awesome.
Interesting. I've never met Emma Doyle
Pawskey's has been wonderful! Both MD and PB have a gift for animals. Their love for our pups has really made a difference in our lives. We have a 9 year old cairn terrier/poodle which we have had for years and a 4 month pointer mix puppy that we recently adopted from the humane society. Our cairn terrier/poodle loves his parents. Although he is small, he isn't afraid of anything he sees as a threat to his family. Because of this, he barks at just about anything that passes by our house! With Pawskey's training his barking and anxiety has reduced incredibly. Also, our little one has also gone through basic training and they watched both our pups while we were moving. Lots of thanks to these guys!
Pawskey's pet serves is great! They took excellent care of my dog Perri an Aussie mix, while I was out of town. MD was very attentive in listening to my personal instructions about her care thus allowing me a worry free weekend away. Coming home to a happy, well cared for dog is priceless. I highly recommend MD and PB. They have a gentle energy that both dogs and people find comforting.
Pawskeys helped us raise our very active Bernese puppy. I'm not sure what we would have done without their service. MD & PB are not only reliable, but beautiful people. We have remained friends & I would highly recommend their sevice.
i couldnt call you, you number is incorrect. or a website. do you still exist? i very much would still like to use your services when i drive through. i would be delighted to actually review you. if i could find you.
Great dog trainer. Highly recommend
Beau has stayed at Bokhara many times and they are wonderful with him. He’s always well cared for and happy. He started going at 7 months and they were so sweet and good with him. I highly recommend and I won’t use anywhere else!
We had our dog recently banned from Bokhara for, what I feel, is the fault of their new groomer. We’ve had our dog groomed there by Ellen for six years and never had an issue. Ellen retired and the groomer they have now has been out of the business for a while or something, but whatever she did made my dog anxious and he attacked. NEVER had that issue with Ellen. So, they said he’s welcome to board there? Sorry, too many finer establishments in the area. Stay away. (I can’t post without a 1-star rating, but I wouldn’t even give them that.)
Our pup had an amazing stay at Bokhara! We loved that she was greeted the moment we walked in, they were waiting for her! Erika made us feel so warm and welcome. After checking Ellie for temperament, we were shown Ellie's "room" and were able to set her up and get her comfortable. We were able to see much of the facility, and all our questions were answered. Ellie got walks every day and we were even invited to take her to the lake when we picked her up. Ellie showed us right where to go. She was so comfortable there and looked really happy and content when we picked her up. I called once to check on her and all my questions were answered and I was told Ellie was eating well and visiting. I'm so pleased with Bokhara and look forward when we can visit again!
Excellent kennel. Just pulling in the driveway you will realize that your dog will have their own resort while up north. The pine trees along the drive way will have dog name crossings, and once you pull up you will find a friendly staff ready to give your dog attention that you will feel comfortable with. There are a list of options to pamper your dog including access to Elk Lake for a swim, or even check out your pet by boat while on Elk, or the other Chain of Lakes. Our dog is a medium to small dog and had made friends with the other dogs while there. Be sure to have your pets vet records ready. Will have our dog stay there again the next time we are in the area! Rates cheaper than hotel dog rates.
Took my cats there for a week got them back covered in feces, and we're obviously traumatized, I would never take my pet to this place again
Thank you Erika so much for taking such good care of George and Charlie!! We really appreciate the excellent care and spa treatment you provided. Georgie has never been so clean and fresh! Even Charlie was happy to visit you!! We'll be back again for sure!! Thanks soooo much!!
Fantastic cat boarding service. Boarded my kitty here for several weeks and it was a great experience. All staff including the owner are extremely kind people.
We've been boarding our Rhodesian Ridgeback here for about 4 years and have had nothing but good experiences. Staff are really friendly and I like the grooming options as well as the additional play time/walk options.
Our gsd puppy went for her first grooming with her sister. The staff was super accommodating in letting them stay togather. They came back looking and smelling great.
Nice drive. Nicest lady ever!!! My dog is just beautiful!! I Found my new groomer.
Thank you, John & Elaine. You’re the best!
