Dog Boarding Portage

“Elizabeth was wonderful! She deserves an award for handling my crazy, high energy Labrador. Somehow she kept up with his endless energy & chaos. I got constant pictures and videos giving me a peace of mind while i was gone. Duck came home happy and tired. Can’t thank her enough for watching him!”

Darcy K.

“Becky is great! My dog comes home happy, healthy and tired out from playing. We love getting all the pics and updates from our pups vacation ☺️ I would not hesitate to book with her again!”

Tessa G.

“Beth did a wonderful job with Barron. She sent photos of him playing. He was very content staying with Beth. I will be booking with Beth again.”

Julie D.

“Jenai and Sean were lovely!! We had Jenai and Sean watch our dog Bernie for a weekend while we tied the knot! We hardly ever leave our baby and were a little anxious about it until we met them and they are just so great!”

Pearl G.

“Reed and Natalie were great to work with. They were both very kind and worked with my dog that is a little kiddish around new people. They took the time to slowly get her to come out of her shell. They sent many text updates, photos and videos. This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely book with Reed and Natalie again!!”

Shelley M.

“Savannah is extremely caring. Communication with her is really easy. She did her best to accommodate our request in the last minute note. The only thing, I did not have updates about our dog unless I asked.”

Neda B.

“Ana is incredibly sweet and caring. She sent me multiple updates a day to let me know how my dog was doing while I was on my vacation. She took my dog to the dog park every day so he could run around and play. Her dog Lucas is also very friendly and when I came to pick up my dog, it looks like they became fast friends. I will definitely be booking her again in the future when I have another trip planned!”

Brianna W.

“Our dog just stayed 2 nights with Jaisree. I felt so comfortable leaving our girl with her. She has a beautiful home and very private yard. We would definitely leave our dog with her again. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates and truly seemed to enjoy her time with our girl. Thank you Jaisree!”

About: I've worked as a vet assistant, at a pet store, as a groomer, as a vet concierge, volunteered and at a animal shelter. I have also been dog training, walking, daycare, boarding and pet/dog sitting and grooming for years. I've also fostered many dogs, animals are such a passion of mine! I do work like this very often so I am able to be with your sweeties as much as possible! Feel free to reach out to me! I always monitor and take as best care of them possible. Excercise when they need, rest when they need, potty, food etc. If your pets have a schedule I'll stick to it. If not well then tell me what you'd like and call it done!

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet owner with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet while you’re away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, maintaining routines, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to changes in behavior and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I currently work 8-5pm M-F at y full time job, but I am available before and after those times as well as on the weekends. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, a clean and safe environment, plenty of attention, and regular walks or playtime. I’m also respectful of clients’ homes and will provide updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.

About: I've always loved being around animals and understand the trust it takes to leave your furry family members with someone new. I'm highly responsible, attentive to detail, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as if they were my own. As a university student with a very open schedule right now, I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets! I am available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and can easily adapt to your furry friend's daily routine. I am highly detail-oriented and meticulous when it comes to your pet's safety. I double-check all gates, doors, and leashes, and I strictly follow your specific care instructions to maintain a secure, stress-free environment for your furry best friend.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and have personally owned three dogs ranging from Shih Tzus and Corgis to Golden Retrievers and Huskies\. I have experience caring for both puppies and seniors, including dogs with arthritis and other special needs\. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, vitamins, and other treatments, and I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine, comfort, and needs\. I truly love dogs and enjoy giving them plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and long walks\. I’m patient, dependable, and observant, and I take the time to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I am retired so I have a lot of time to watch your dogs! They will have my undivided attention. I also have a fenced yard so along with walks they will get to roam around in the big backyard. I love playing fetch with them and will try to teach them new tricks if you allowed! I have a big fenced in yard so they will have access to outdoors anytime they needed it. I always have fresh water available for them and I have a 2 year old Shih Tzu they can play with!

“Morgan took great care of our old guy and she was very accommodating on short notice! She sent regular updates and we felt he was comfortable and well loved. Thank you, Morgan for giving us peace of mind.”

“Kelli was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover, we typically have family watch our dog but we were getting married and didn’t have anyone to watch her for the weekend. Kelli made us feel so comfortable with updates and pictures! Josie had so much fun playing with the other dogs and being able to explore in her big back yard. We will absolutely be using her again in the future!”

About: Devoted and die-hard dog Momma over here! I have a Muttley crew of dogs including Labrador Retrievers and Pitt Bull mixes. My pack includes senior aged dogs through to young dogs. I have dedicated the last couple years to fostering dogs and absolutely fallen in love pivoting my world in the direction of companion pets. I have also worked at a local doggie daycare and volunteer often with my dogs as control dogs in a local dog training group's reactive rover class. I currently work part time in a local dog park as well. Needless to say, I encounter all types of dogs throughout my day and love learning their unique personalities. I have studied dogs at length with my personal pack, in training classes, with my dog centered jobs, and I continue to enjoy deep discussions on dog body language to learn even more! Dogs are fascinating animals to me, and I adore learning more to better communicate with them. I have a flexible schedule currently. I work part time at a local dog park in the afternoons during the week, and volunteer by fostering dogs. I have a fenced in yard and friendly dogs at home that are social and enjoy playing with new pups, proven with the foster pups I bring home. My pack is excellent communicators with other dogs and help draw out shy dogs and teach them how to dog. Dogs are welcome on the furniture (couch and bed) in my home. New dogs through foster or dog sitting sleep in a crate for naps during the day and at night out of an abundance of caution for safety.

“I highly recommend James, he watched our two kitties for an extended period. He gave them a dedicated room because they are not used to dogs and gave them plenty of attention. His communication was excellent and he shared pictures and updates regularly. I felt very confident about our pets' safety and comfort at his place. Thank you again, James!!”

“Overall, good experience! It was our first time leaving our puppy with someone and she answered all our questions and sent pictures every day. Would use her again.”

“Wow, what can I say… Jill ( & Sunny :))was amazing with our 4 yr old yellow lab, Callie! She was so loving and all about making a great experience for Callie. Her home was perfect and such a nice setting back near a nice river with a large yard with a fenced in area as well. Our dog could use her doggy door (once she got the hang of it ;) )and go outside to the fenced in yard and play/potty/whatever ….as she needed. Jill was great about taking walks, letting her swim in the river at her property, having playtime and providing constant attention and love. And her dog Sunny is so loving and was a great playmate for Callie. :). Such a reassuring feeling to have her with Jill while we traveled. Knowing she was getting constant attention, love, care, exercise, and play. I will never use a kennel or doggy care center again as long as Jill is available, thanks Jill ! :-)”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Kristi and her family were so great with our dog, treating them like their own. Kristi kept me updated with numerous pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend Kristi!”

“Boots had a blast with Tasha and her family! Would absolutely book again! He got lots of play time and interaction and came home tired and happy :) Tasha is also great about sending updates and pictures!”
