Dog Walking Portage

“Sandy was phenomenal with my dogs. I left for a month long vacation and she worked with another Rover-walker to help take great care of my dogs while I was gone. One of my three dogs has a disability and can be hard to take care of (which makes it hard for me to trust who is taking care of him), but every photo and rover card that was submitted made my fiance and I smile and feel such relief knowing we left our dogs in good hands. I would definitely book her again in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for pets with diverse personalities, health conditions, and behavioral needs. I have helped care for a Husky for nine years, managing health challenges and providing consistent, patient care. I also care for rescued cats and have experience pet sitting cats that require special attention around other animals. I focus on building trust, following routines, and ensuring every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I care for my own cats every day and have experience providing care for both dogs and cats through feeding, playtime, exercise, medication schedules when needed, and companionship. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate time to walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting while ensuring each pet receives attentive, reliable care and plenty of affection. When caring for pets, I follow their established routine as closely as possible to help pets feel comfortable and secure. This includes feeding, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, administering basic care instructions, and giving pets plenty of attention and companionship. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, health, and comfort level and provide regular updates to owners. My goal is to ensure pets receive safe, reliable, and compassionate care while maintaining the environment and routine they are accustomed to. With a spacious house, I easily can keep my two cats away if a pet doesn’t enjoy their presence. Though my cats are lovers of all, I understand if other pets aren’t the same.

About: Hi! I'm Novalee (legal name Brooke), and if your dog loves having friends, being outside, playing until they're tired and then crashing on the couch at the end of the day, they'll probably fit right in here. I work from home, so your dog gets plenty of company, attention and time to play throughout the day. What a day here looks like: When the weather is nice, you'll usually find us outside. I often bring my work into the backyard while the dogs run, play fetch, chase their friends or stretch out in the shade. Our approximately 50' × 60' backyard is fully enclosed by a 5' fence with plenty of shade and room to run, and outdoor time is always supervised. On hotter days, we rotate between outdoor play and cooling down inside. Rainy days mean finding breaks in the weather to get outside, followed by muddy-paw cleanups, indoor play and couch time. By evening, it's usually dogs sprawled across the couch and dog beds, completely tuckered out while we all wind down together. Their routine comes with them: I want your dog's stay to feel as familiar as possible, so I follow their normal feeding schedule, medications, supplements, sleeping preferences and home routines. Owners provide their dog's regular food and treats so there are no unexpected diet changes during their stay. If they're used to a kennel, we'll continue that. If they're a couch sleeper, the couch is fair game. If they normally sleep near their people, their bed can go beside mine. Beds, blankets, toys and other comfort items from home are always encouraged. You'll get updates: I know how hard it can be to leave your animals behind, so I send photos and videos frequently. You'll get to see your dog playing with friends, hanging out with me, napping or completely crashed after a full day of fun. Safety & good fits: Every new boarding client starts with a meet & greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable with my home, pets and environment before their first stay. Dogs are always supervised outside, meals are fed separately and supervised, and I have indoor and outdoor cameras, gates and separate spaces available when someone needs a break from the group. Because this is a social, multi-pet home, boarding dogs need to safely coexist with other dogs and cats. Shy dogs, seniors, puppies and high-energy dogs are all welcome as long as our home is a good fit for their individual needs. Well-behaved leash walkers can also enjoy walks around our village upon request. A little about me: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and pet care is now part of my everyday life too. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, daycare and boarding, along with having experience volunteering with rescues. I'm comfortable with everything from playful puppies and high-energy dogs to seniors who would rather spend the afternoon napping. I also have experience with fearful dogs, mild separation and storm anxiety, oral medications, supplements and insulin injections. Most importantly, I want your dog to feel like part of our household while they're here. We play hard during the day, slow down together at night and keep the routines that help them feel at home. I woke from home and have open availability and can spend all day and night with your pups. Send me a booking request to schedule a meet and greet. *I can kennel for the safety of your pets if needed during times I'm away from home on short trips. *I can carry over rules you have in place at your home to mine. Examples: Sleeping in kennel, not jumping on furniture, etc. *I'm vet trained in administering oral, topical, and vaccinations when needed. Example: Diabetic Insulin Shots. *If your pet has storm anxiety, we will camp out in the bathroom with soothing music until the storm passes. *I will not leave dogs unsupervised while playing outside, or with other pets.

About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm a school teacher looking to spend my summer looking after pets. I have experience working with all types of dogs as I grew up in a home with three pugs with big personalities. I also have experience working with bigger dogs, senior/disabled dogs, and cat sitting. I would do anything for my dogs, so I would do anything for yours too. As a teacher, I'm free during the day to help your pet so they feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you're away. For active pets, I love going on walks! For easygoing and older pets , I'm happy to be someone to watch over them. :) My #1 priority is to keep your pets happy and healthy while you are away! I'll be sure to send you frequent updates on how your pet is doing. Never hesitate to ask me any questions. Feel free to let me know your pets regular schedule, so I can maximize your pets comfort.

“Easy to communicate with! Abigail came twice to let Dani out. Since it was raining, I asked her to just play with Dani. This was my first Rover experience and I would definitely do it again! Great job, Abigail!”

About: I am a sitter and walker who is very patient with all dogs, especially energetic ones. I love all animals, and because I am an athlete, I have lots of energy, so if your dog wants to run while we walk and play, I happily will! If they do not, I am always calm as well and will be patient with your dog. I walk my dog Charlie every day, and I also walk my sister's dog, Finn. I am always happy to go outside and get some fresh air. I play with Charlie as much as I can until he’s tired (which is literally never), and I always make sure he’s got plenty of water.

About: I have spent my whole life around dogs and cats! I volunteer at a local shelter and have been around the shy, sick, and old of both dogs and cats. Im very brave and confident when handling them and will not fail in caring for even the unfriendliest of animals. One of my cats at home has special needs pertaining to hydration, so, your pets with specific medical care will be taken care of 100% adequately! As I understand the fear in being a parent to a sick furbaby. I’m currently an unemployed student, so, while I am home for the summer, I have infinite time to play with your fluffy loved ones :). All of my cats are indoor only, I have never and will never hit my pets, and my dogs were always entertained and well fed. I think providing your animals with love, attention, nutrition, and safety are the most important things going on in my home.

About: My name is Ashley, I've loved pets and have had them my whole life. I worked as veterinarian assistant for many years.

It's so rewarding! I also have experience administering medications, giving injections and other medical treatments, as well as caring for special needs pets.

About: I have 3 dogs of varying sizes so I know how to handle many dogs and many temperaments.I have been trusted to look after friends dogs as well. I’m working part time in the mornings so I have plenty of time during the week and afternoons to take care of any dog! I let the dog get comfortable with me before I try anything. I love to take my dogs on long walks and play in my backyard with them till they are tired.

“I have a broken foot and cannot walk my senior dog Dusty. I was leery to hire someone I didn't know. Mark was amazing with Dusty !. He got right down on the floor to greet and play with him. He even coaxed Dusty to take a longer walk. I highly recommend him for his positive and eager approach to dogs.”
