Dog Boarding in Portage

“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!!”

“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.”

“Kathy was fantastic with Teddy. She suggested a meet & greet prior to officially booking to make sure it was a good match. For the week that Teddy stayed with Kathy she provided photos, videos and written updates which helped keep us at ease. It is clear that Kathy loves dogs and enjoys having them in her home!”

“Shelbie was wonderful. She provided daily updates and pictures while taking care of Buddy. We were very grateful for her caring attitude and attention paid to our doggie. We will definitely use her again. Our baby came home happy and healthy.”

“My dog Stella stayed with Julie for over 2 weeks while I was on a trip overseas. I arranged the stay just a few days before I left and was happy to find someone I could trust so quickly. Stella was taken care of very well, she looked very comfortable in the pictures I received and I picked her up healthy and happy. She even found some new playmates during her stay. I will gladly book another stay with Julie should the need arise.”

“First time using Rover and Nayoma was great! Very responsive and sent pictures. My dog came back happy and tired! Will definitely be calling her again.”

“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!”

“I was worried about leaving my small dog Faith alone with a stranger for a week. Faith was scared at first but soon after I left I was sent a photo of Faith warming up to Rebecca. Then a couple photos everyday showing how Faith was enjoying her time there. Really put my mind at ease. Definitely would recommend and leave Faith with Rebecca again.”

“I wasn't sure how Pivo would handle being with other dogs, but was having a hard time finding a sitter who didn't have dogs who would be available for the dates I needed. I approached Trina even though she has her own dogs. She encouraged us to do a meet-and-greet in her home, and the dogs got along great right from the get-go! Trina and her family clearly love dogs, and made Pivo a member of the household. Trina learned the hard way what a bed hog Pivo is LOL! He came home totally relaxed and happy. Trina's a keeper, very easygoing, accommodating, and kind! Thank you, Trina!”

“Ana was great with Reese! She sent me lots of pictures while I was away, and I could tell that Reese was getting plenty of love and attention. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely use her again and recommend her to my friends :)”

“We were extremely happy with Katy's care of our two senior Newfoundlands. She was great about communicating and we will definitely book again!”

“Jamie was great with our high energy needs dog, Maggie. She’s a border collie/blue heeler mix that is a good dog, but only if she’s exercised her body (and mind) enough. We loved having picture updates over our long weekend away. And by the second night I knew everything would be okay and that Jamie had the compassion and care needed for a dog like Maggie. We’re SO happy to have found Jamie and will definitely be requesting her services again!!”

“My dog Love seemed to make herself right at home! Savannah was very kind and inviting, she kept me updated during her stay and was well taken care of. Thanks ❤️”

“Emily was an amazing host for my dog. She was a great communicator and made sure to get our high energy dog a lot of playtime. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services anytime I leave town.”

“A few different dog sitters bailed on us right before leaving town for Christmas and we were getting desperate for someone to watch our young dog since our destination didn't allow pets. Melissa responded very promptly with only a couple days notice and said that the timing worked for her. Our dog, Fenton, is only a couple years old and fairly high energy - a pretty good match for her dog, Sunshine. After a weekend of play and exploring a new environment, Fenton came home completely pooped! I haven't seen him this tired since the first time we took him to doggy daycare. Melissa sent a photo of him partway through and let us know periodically how he was doing. I could tell she was a bit concerned about how anxious he was adjusting to the new environment and eating less, and I appreciated her concern. Knowing him well, I would expect as much, but I know it's hard to gauge such behavior as normal when just meeting a dog. By the end of the visit, it sounded like Fenton had adjusted well and was having a good time with Sunshine. We're happy to have him home now, but it was a great peace of mind to have Melissa taking care of him while we were out of town.”

“AMAZING!! will definitely be seeing them again. they are great with constantly updating me with what they did that day, and pictures of them.”

“Madison is amazing, my dog is very anxious. I had a lot of requests and Madison was very accommodating and went above and beyond. She sent updates every day and a video. Hercules was happy and well looked after. I will definitely use her again.”

“Sarah is a warm and delightful human who clearly loves dogs. We were waiting for the green light from my husband's doctor for a fishing trip before we could book Pivo's weekend with her, but of course we needed to find someone beforehand who could take him if it was a go. Sarah was very kind, patient and accommodating, answering all messages quickly, and it all worked out! Pivo and her two little doggies hit it off right away (a relief, since a meet-and-greet the day before didn't go well - you just never know with doggies) so we felt great about finally being able to book with her. He was calm and tired when we picked him up, a good indicator that he had plenty of exercise. We don't travel a lot but will definitely call Sarah next time we do. Thank you, Sarah!”

“Jordan was so friendly and good to our girl. She kept me updated and was understanding when we ran late picking up Phoebe. Phoebe seemed to really enjoy her time at Jordan’s. We would definitely recommend and ask her in the future needs.”

“I cannot recommend Amanda enough! She recently cared for my two dogs, one of whom is just a 4-month-old puppy, and her service went above and beyond my expectations. From the start, she made sure we felt comfortable leaving our boys in her care, keeping us updated daily with the sweetest photos of them playing and getting plenty of cuddles from her family. Not only did she treat them like her own, she handled the extra energy and attention a puppy requires. She also went the extra mile by bathing both of my boys before we picked them up. This level of care and thoughtfulness meant the world to us. Our fur babies had a great time in her care. 10/10 would recommend. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
