1. Anna B.

“Anna was great! She kept us very up to date in the dogs and how they were settling in and behaving the whole stay! I could tell that she and her family really loved and cared for the dogs. I highly recommend Anna to watch your pets!”


2. Rex L.

“Rex was very accommodating for drop off and pick up. He took Hazel and Thor on a last minute reservation, which was such a huge help for us. We appreciate the updates, and pictures sent to let us know our fur babies were being cared for. We look forward to booking with Rex again soon.”


3. Shelby K.

“We are THANKFUL to have found Shelby. She is our absolute first & only choice to watch our furbaby! Our dog had TPLO surgery (a titanium plate and screws to repair a ruptured CCL) Shelby has been compassionate, motherly and sensitive to our dogs special medical needs, as her road to recovery has been long & ongoing. There’s no one else that I’d trust to care for our baby. Shelby is responsible, mature, professional and an incredible human being. The family environment is not something my dog can get at. Kennel or boarding facility. I love that my dog is in a loving home, with family and furry friends. Shelby’s dogs are super great with other dogs. Infact, my dog has so much fun at Shelby’s house, that I can tell she is missing it!! I was worried she wouldn’t want to leave! Shelby’s the best- HANDS DOWN. It’s nice not to worry about my baby -when she’s with Shelby, I know she’s in great hands!! Thank you, Shelby!!”


4. Megan L.

“First time using Rover. Feel so fortunate to have found someone as awesome as Megan! Received pictures and updates which was so reassuring when we needed help with our pups with all the weekend wedding festivities.”




5. Julie D.

“Julie and Joe were the best. I don’t leave my girl (Teka) with just anybody. She is a 15 year standard poodle and they have her insulin shots and very well cared for. I would recommend them for anyone. Dave and Janell Gage”


6. sasha m.

“Ava did a great job with Finn. He had a fun time playing with her Finn and Honey. He also learned some new things, now I just need to learn them too! I definitely plan to board my Finn there again and continue working with Ava on Finn and my training.”


7. Alexia H.


“Wonderful experience. We were nervous to leave our puppies for the first time. Alexia made us very comfortable. She saw how nervous we were and gave us extra updates to calm our nerves. She put us at ease quickly. The pups seemed to have such fun . Her family played with them so much I was afraid they would want to stay! They came home well exercised and happy. Thank you again Alexia!”


8. Catherine O.

“Catherine did a great job with our anxious reactive little guy (9 yr old Morkie). She was very responsive and sent lots of photo updates. I recommend her if you have a dog that needs some personal space from other dogs that a normal kennel environment can’t provide.”


9. Kathy A.

“I can’t recommend Kathy enough! She hosted my dog (Maple) for two nights and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kathy is very experienced, a great communicator, and clearly loves dogs! Her home is so welcoming and my Maple had a wonderful time going for nature walks and sunbathing in the yard. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your pup in the Portage area, I highly recommend contacting Kathy.”


10. Marcia C.

“Marcia was an exceptional dog sitter during my time away. She consistently provided updates, sharing pictures of my dogs throughout the day. Her flexibility in accommodating various aspects of their stay was greatly appreciated. Marcia's kindness and attentiveness were evident, and she kept me well-informed at all times. My two pups were thoroughly worn out from playing with her and her dog, which speaks to the level of care and attention they received. I highly recommend Marcia for any pet sitting needs!”




11. Kelli G.

“Kelli was absolutely AMAZING! She was so communicative and sent pictures every day. I never worried about our dog because I was confident he had the best care the entire time! I would highly recommend Kelli! We look forward to using her again in the future - absolutely fantastic experience! 10/10”


12. Bree S.
About: My husband and I have had dogs or been around dogs since we were kids. We know what it takes to feed them, walk them, play with them, and love them! I work from home full time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pup and make sure they are well cared for. I am available weekdays and most weekends. We have a fenced in back yard with space for your dog to roam or play in. We live in a good neighborhood and the street is not too busy.


13. Kristen H.

“I have an older that needs a lot of attention and Kristen took the time to listen to what she needed and made sure she got her medication. She made sure my dog was safe, and sent me updates and pictures throughout her stay.”


14. Katy M.

“Katy was great with our wheaten terrier. She treated him as one of her own and was an excellent communicator! We would definitely book with her again!”


15. Amanda B.

“Exceptional care in a very warm and comfortable home. Not only was Baylee taking care of but regular walks and lots of activity to stay busy and tired at the end of the day. Excellent communication throughout the stay and a couple wonderful pictures.”


16. Nayoma L.

“Nayoma did a great job taking care of my pup Sadie! She communicated with me regularly, took pictures and was very thorough in making sure she understood my dog’s needs. I will absolutely hire her again!!”


17. Heavan L.

“The perfect sitter for an anxious fur baby. Heavan put both my dog and myself at ease giving multiple updates with pictures while I was out of town for a night. My extremely anxious pooch settled right in which allowed me to enjoy my night away without worry.”


18. Adam "Jaime" B.


“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”


19. Isaiah M.
“Isaiah and I have been friends for 20+ years. Early on Isaiah always talked about having a pet, and when he was able he started out with guinea pigs and now he has his “pet-daughter” Andi. She was rescued by Isaiah and she has just been thriving. Through his Facebook posts and our conversations it so clear that he was always meant to be a pet Dad. He is very attentive to the needs of his pets and provides stability and a warm loving household to his pets allowing them to thrive. I can’t think of anyone more qualified and to be a pet sitter. He will provide an environment that will offer pet owners peace of mind that their pet is being properly cared for in their absence.”


20. MIchele F.

“I boarded my dog Enzo with Michele for about a week. I received daily updates with photos letting me know how he was doing. Michele treated him like her own pet. If and when I need a sitter in the future we will be contacting Michele. She is reasonably priced and close by. Thanks again.”
