“We left our 1yr old and 2 yr old cat with her for the weekend while my family ( who’s allergic to cats) came into town. She communicated with us, sent us a picture when possible, she was very respectful and understanding! She also responded very quickly as well which I appreciated since I’ve had my 1 year old cat since she was 8 weeks old and I’ve never left her with anyone before and we got our 2 yr old cat 3 months ago, but being in the loop made me feel better 😊 they seemed to have fun, so we definitely would come back!”

“Anthony was fantastic to work with! Communication was great. He clearly knows a lot about dogs and is passionate about taking care of them as if they were his own. Highly recommend!”
“Fantastic pet sitter! I have a very stubborn and specific elderly dog and after talking with her once, I felt completely confident that he would be well taken care of. I received multiple updates throughout my dog’s stay, and she was even gracious enough to allow me to pick him up after midnight. Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dog’s stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!”
“Savannah was amazing! She made us feel so eat ease with our first experience our leaving our golden at someone’s house while we went out of town. She sent frequent updates along with pictures. Our boy at the time of his life!”
“Barb was fantastic! She sent updates and pictures and was so great to work with. Brownie had so much fun staying with her overnight. He came home and was exhausted from all of his playtime and fun! We will most definitely use her again in the future.”
“We are so lucky to have found Heather! She gives daily updates of our pets and sends videos and pictures, which makes our time away a lot less difficult. She truly cares about our pets!”
“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: For the past ten years I’ve worked in the area as a veterinary assistant and also have experience in dog daycare and grooming. I enjoy developing relationships with pets and their humans! Being a home away from home is an huge honor to me. I am currently available during weekdays for daycare. I have a great space at my home and neighborhood to keep your dog company for the day. I am now doing pet sitting from my home and able to stay at your home. Whatever your pet is most comfortable with! I have a fenced in yard and my own dog that would love to play. I also have a great neighborhood to explore with your pet. The latest pick up time is 6:30pm but can accommodate if something comes up.
About: I have grown up with large dogs and been dog sitting for a couple of years now and have been dog walking/day time taking care of. I enjoy walking, bathing, and caring for all dogs weather a puppy or an older pup. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to help with anything like boarding, walking in, housesitting, and everything in between. I am currently a student ant WMU and working some weekdays and weekends, topically 3-4 days a week as a server. I am available to dog sit over night on week days and weekends. I live in an apartment but that doesn’t prevent enjoying spending time outdoors whether that’s visiting local dog parks, exploring walking trails, or going on daily walks. My top priorities are always the safety, comfort, and well being of every pet in my care. I treat each dog as if they were my own and provide the same level of attention, patience, and care that I would want for my own pet, my dog Tater Tot is my little baby and I know the love for our furry companions. I follow each owner’s instructions closely and work to create a positive, safe, and enjoyable experience for every dog!

I have a nice yard, and I live in a beautiful modular home park. We have a dog park here for your dog to play.
“Alexia was very attentive to my puppy's requirements and went above and beyond my expectations for daily updates. She helped with socialization with exposure to family members, other pets, and new environments. Overall, I was very happy with my puppy's experience versus that of a conventional kennel boarding experience, and I will be scheduling future boardings with Alexia.”

Your furry friend will be in amazing care I have a very open schedule and available almost all the time.

“I’ve used Andrew twice now and could not recommend him any more highly! He and his wife were very responsive and clearly took great care of my dog. I think she was a little sad to leave actually!!”
“My 9 month old lap/pitbull mix had a BLAST with Rex and his family. We received multiple pictures during her 5 days there and she made friends with the other dogs. I highly recommend Rex and his family! Five stars!! ?”
“We had JoAnn watch our dog at her house for 6 days and then stay at our house and watch our dog and cat for another 4 days. She did a terrific job. My dog often has anxiety when we are gone and it takes her a few days after our return to relax. This time she was perfectly fine and didn't seem stressed at all. Our house was clean and in perfect shape. I would highly recommend JoAnn and am planning to use her again!”
About: I have one dog and bird that I take care of with my family. A Newfoundland and African Grey parrot in my household. I make sure they can kept safe, healthy and loved, as for will I with your own animals.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Portage
Becky was amazing to work with. Very knowledge and made my whole interaction effortless. I never thought I'd be comfortable dropping my nervous dogs off somewhere, we had given up on kennels. This was such an encouraging experience that I won't hesitate to do it again.
The best home for my 2 special-needs dogs I could have hoped for! Pictures and videos and updates on how they were doing every day. I could tell they were in a really loving home with Kathy and Bob. I don’t think my pals wanted to come home! Highly recommend 10/10

There are 217 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Portage. About 88% of Portage sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
