Pet Sitting in Portage

“Love the pictures that Sandy sends through Rover during the visit. She does a good job at getting my sweet old stubborn English Bulldog Panda outside during the visit so I come home to a happy dog with no messes.”

“Christina stopped by to let our German Shepard out while we were out of town. She took great care of our dog and we will definitely book her again for any future dog sitting!”

About: I was always asked to take care of my family friends dogs when they went on vacation or needed extra help. I love taking care of animals. I am free whenever as i’m home for summer, ready and excited to help whenever you need a hand i’m ready! I love all animals I have pet sat and have done housesitting jobs at the same time and have always shown up on time and got the work done and had took care of pets and gave them play time

About: I have grown up with hamsters and guinea pigs so I have many years of experience when taking care of pets. Also for the past 3 years I have been house sitting and walking/checking in on friends and families dogs and cats. I am home from college for the summer and am looking for something on the side that I like to do. So I am pretty available whenever it comes to scheduling. If there is a fence I plan on keeping pets inside the fencing and if pets needed to go for a walk I will make sure to follow all proper instructions per the client.

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.

“Kami did a great job taking care of my older tuxedo cat Jordan! She was very kind and provided updates and photos for every visit. The drop-in visits were only thirty minutes but I could tell the attention to detail and care that went in to her visit. Kami, followed feeding instructions to the "T" and did well to maintain a clean litter pan area, especially due to my cat's tendency to have accidents outside of his designated bathroom area. Kami even took out the trash, so when I arrived home there was no unwelcoming smells. My experience with Kami was fantastic, and I'm sure Jordan appreciated her efforts as well. He even waited at the door for her arrival the next day! If you are going out of town, and need someone to take care of you pet. I highly recommend Kami's services. Happy Holidays!”

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 currently have two dogs at home. One is a pitbull and the other is a corgi mix. I have taken care of dogs my entire life!

I love walking especially with a fur baby by my side to make the walk more enjoyable! I also enjoy being able to keep an animal company when need!

I will and can visit between classes and give your dog all the love in the world in the afternoon or evening after class :) I will make sure your dogs get to keep the routine they have when their family is home the best I can. I love to watch a show or do homework near the dog so I can be available for snuggles. More than happy to take dogs on daily walks, I love the excuse to get outside and get to know your dog!

About: I have three pets of my own. Two rescue cats and one pound puppy. I have experience administrating medications from eye drops to diabetic shots. I work from home so am always available to sit in house or stop by multiple times a day. I’ve always been very good with animals and love spending my time with them. I am very excited to get to know you and your fur babies! I work remotely in sales so I am very flexible on times for visits and walks. This also allows me to stay in houses if it is needed or required! I would prefer to care for fur babies in the clients home as I have pets of my own. However we do have a very large back yard so if your dog needed a place to let loose and run around this could be accommodated!
