We just returned from a week long trip leaving our senior Golden Retriever and Orange cat in the trusted care of our sitter, Seresa. She was absolutely amazing!

She asked questions about their behavior to make sure everything was ok and definitely went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and safe while we were away. I was so reassured that my pets we safe and happy. It truly added to the enjoyment of our trip. Thank you Seresa! You are a true animal lover and thank you Doggie Latchkey for such a great service!

We've used Woofie's of Grand Rapids before to care for our cats while we're out of town and have…read morealways had great experiences. But this last time, they completely blew us away with their kindness, professionalism, and compassion. The day we were leaving for my sister's wedding, I got a call from the vet saying that one of my cats needed to start taking daily medication right away. Literally 30 minutes before I was about to board the flight to go out of town for a week. I was panicking and didn't know what to do. I reached out to Woofie's, and they immediately stepped in to help. They picked up the medication from the vet, coordinated with me about the prescription, and added extra visits on short notice so my cat could get her medicine right away. They communicated so quickly and clearly and made what could have been an incredibly stressful situation so much easier. Once we were gone, they went above and beyond in every possible way. They stayed longer than scheduled to make sure my cat not only got her medication but also felt comfortable and cared for afterward. They brought different treats and wet food to help her feel at ease (always checking with me first), and they gave both of our cats so much love and attention. It's clear they don't just "do" pet care, they truly care about your animals. They're professional, reliable, compassionate, and incredibly responsive. I felt completely confident that my cats were in the best hands while I was gone. I don't usually leave reviews, but Woofie's absolutely deserves one on every platform possible. They're the kind of people you hope to find when trusting someone with your pets. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I've trusted Family Friends with the care of three dogs and two cats for more than six years…read more Unfortunately, my recent experiences have left me concerned about a decline in communication, transparency, and clarity around costs. Most recently, I paid $250 for my dog to be seen during regular hours. Less than 24 hours later, her condition had worsened. She was lethargic, still wasn't eating after three doses of medication, and was continuing to bleed from her rectum. Because no regular drop-in appointments were available, I was directed to urgent care and charged another $500, including approximately $130 in fees added to the prescription costs. I called the office and spoke with Jill about the unexpected charges. While she apologized that I was unhappy with the experience, no adjustment was offered. I recognize that, as a pet owner, I can always ask more questions. However, transparency should also be part of the care provided. During that initial visit, I was told that my dog had torn her other ACL less than four months after undergoing a knee surgery that cost more than $4,600. Only after that surgery was I told that dogs that tear one ACL can be predisposed to tearing the other. That is information I would have appreciated having when considering treatment and the potential long-term costs. After more than six years as a client, I'm disappointed to feel that I now need to be much more proactive about uncovering costs, alternatives, and potential outcomes before agreeing to treatment. If you choose Family Friends, I recommend doing your research, asking detailed questions, and making sure you fully understand the treatment options, alternatives, and associated costs before proceeding.

Their training of young dogs was fine, but the ancillary services available later aren't worth the…read morecost. Young staff member lectured us if we were a little late, claiming we were throwing their whole schedule off. Rarely were there other vehicles or customers there, so I'm not sure how that was possible. Their services usually took 5 -10 minutes, with every minute of it seeming rushed, adding anxiety to our dog. Staff member didn't appear to have maturity to handle challenges, or interested in our dog. Based upon what staff we've met, you might get a good experience, but you're just as likely to get told that any problem is because of you or your dog, and they can't help you. Oh, and they pre-charge for the services, so if you don't have a good experience, well, that must be because you did something wrong. Pleasant for their accounting, not so much for your dog.
