My dog (Sami) had a very bad experience at a large boarding facility and, as a result, I'm…read moreexceedingly particular about where she attends daycare and boards. Jackie, Luke and their team at Nature of the Dog immediately put my anxiety over a new kennel to rest. The whole team is incredible! Very professional and loving with the dogs. Sami jumps out of the car when we arrive and is totally exhausted when I pick her up. And............ as if best in class daycare/boarding care isn't enough, they have a wonderful Farm Store where I buy fantastic, professionally processed eggs, beef, and chicken.

I highly recommend Doggie Latchkey Pet Sitting Services! We have been using Doggie Latchkey for 3…read moreyears. Denise is amazing to coordinate your services and sitting needs. 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 checked in with me continuously sending photos and updating me through out the day. 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!

My husband and I have used Paws Across West Michigan for pet sitting for our dog since 2013. He has…read moreanxiety and is scared of new people and environments so we sought a pet sitting service for him rather than pet boarding. Being in his own home helps him to feel comfortable. Jacob and Lori at Paws Across West Michigan have been wonderful! They came to our home initially to meet with us and and get to know our dog. He took to them right away! I think dogs just know who other dog people are! He loves to play fetch and they were happy to oblige! We were also nervous about how he would feel while we left him for our trip but Jacob and Lori were terrific about sending us pictures of him to help to put our minds at ease. I really can't say enough good things about them and I recommend them to everyone that we know with pets

My family & I have employed Michael in the past and we are currently utilizing his services. He…read morehas taken care of our dog for us while we've been out of town for multiple days at a time and he has also come over during the afternoon to let her out/take her for a walk when our work schedules/other obligations didn't allow us to go home during the lunch hour. We've used his services 5+ times in the past and expect to utilize his services often moving forward into the future. I am 100% confident in Michael and the services he is able to provide, and I trust him implicitly with the safety, security, and well-being of both our home and our pet. Michael is extremely responsible and diligent, he takes his duties very seriously and always conducts those duties and himself in a highly professional manner. I have and will continue to endorse & recommend Michael to anyone who is looking for the types of services that he is able to provide.

Our cat, Remy has always been a self-sufficient house cat. Recently his health has declined and…read moreneeds a special diet and supervision. Rather than cancel our trip over the 4th of July, my wife and I called Dog Days Kalamazoo. Michael was attentive to Remy's needs. He left a log of every visit. Made notes of anything that may be usual. Michael even took extra steps such as bringing in the mail and taking out the trash. Every day we got a text with a picture of Remy from Michael. Those picture texts help relieve any anxiety we had about leaving Remy. We saw pictures of Remy eating (our biggest concern), and looking happy in general. All of this service for the same cost as I would expect anyone to to tip a neighbor or friend for less work. Dog Days Kalamazoo is insured and bonded. We had Michael keep our key because we will be using him again.

Though the care has been good in the past, the communication fairly cordial, and the response time…read morefor booking fairly good, I can't recommend this service/company because of 1) high pricing for multiple pet households and 2) they have no contingencies for last-minute cancellations for what I would consider "true, legitimate exceptions." In our case, with a severe weather warning/storm on the way, if I've booked their care but now can't travel because of the severe/dangerous roads/weather headed in, the $120 for one day is gone (the price for two 1-hour visits where one person lets out four dogs into a fenced yard/plays with them). According to a message conversation with the head of the company (and the site), there are no emergency situations where they'd give a refund, including severe weather, accident, loss of power to the home, illness, death of a close friend or family member, and more. I nicely urged a reconsideration of the current policy with the owner and the creation of a more nuanced emergency cancellation policy but received a short response. (Update: in a later phone call, the owner said they occasionally make exceptions on a case-by-case basis, but severe weather/warnings not to drive on the roads are not accepted reasons for cancellation.) As a business owner myself, I can't be on board with their current policy. If you have multiple pets, beware of the high prices; if you must cancel (for what I would think to be "valid reasons"), you may not receive flexibility. I'd love to see perhaps a partial refund, at least, for "legitimate reasons" and a human-centered approach. I hope they reconsider the strict policy because I do believe "life happens," and balanced policies that benefit both the client and the owner are helpful to all.

We started out having Tami help us with letting our dogs out and taking them for walks. However…read moreover the last year she has focused on reinforcing their training with commands such as sit / down, stay, and recall and the difference she has made in their behavior is beyond amazing. They are not only getting good exercise but also are the best behaved they have ever been. In addition to doing amazing work with the dogs (and they love her and look out the window for her in the morning), she is reliable, flexible, and goes above and beyond to help meet our needs and be there whenever we need her support. There is no one better to trust your dogs with - she is one of a kind and we don't know what we would do without her!
