Pet Sitting 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.”

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.

“Melissa was incredible! Very communicative, sent the cutest pictures of my boys, and took care of everything very well. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their babies while they are away!”

“Abigail did an outstanding job during her drop-in visit with our two pups. Since it was her first time caring for them, we especially appreciated how punctual, communicative, and attentive she was. She spent quality time with them, made sure they got some exercise, and ensured they took care of their potty break. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being. We were very pleased with her service and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Margaret and Travis are wonderful! Scooby being a rescue and getting to know new people was nervous. They were sooo patient and kind. Scooby now is very comfortable and loves them. We couldn’t be happier! 💕”

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.

“George and his wife were wonderful! They took great care of my cat and kept me up to date with anything going on. They even stopped by to bring packages in. Will be using them again.”

About: I have always felt a drawn to all different animals. Especially dogs and cats. I love being around them. I feel that every dog I have ever encountered has been drawn to me, even if they were resistant at first. Unfortunately I do not have many pictures of myself with dogs so I do not have a lot on my profile! I have taken care of more dogs than cats although it doesn’t look like it! I will take care of your animal like it is my own. I’m currently working full time at a school! I work 9-3 everyday and I am home on Fridays. I would have more than enough time before or after work to be able to take care of your fur baby. I love going on walks and would love to be active while having a friend to be with me! I care for pets like they are my own. I will care for each pet in the ways that they need. Each pet is different and likes different things. I will accommodate to their wants/needs and do what feels best for them!

“Thank you so much! My boys were happy and healthy when I got home.”

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! Currently I only have a part time job that is only about 10 hours a week so I plenty of time to be with the animals! 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!

“Great feedback and Kaeli was prompt and kind.”

About: I’m a babysitter and have been for 10 years, so not only do I know how to care for a dog, I know how to care for a human. As a college student I constantly miss my dogs at home, and will find joy in any excuse to give a dog attention. I’ve had dogs my entire life. As a college student I am happy to spend the night at places near my school. During weekdays though, I will not always be there. 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 been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I have tended to a total of six beloved family dogs from around age 7 to 19 when I moved. Some of my regular care for them included providing fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, going outside, playing, and brushing their coats. I have also administered some medication such as vet prescribed pills, sprays, or ear drops when needed. I helped to train them on basic commands and leash training. I am used to recognizing dog body language, following care instructions tailored to each pet, and sticking to a schedule. Since I am currently in-between jobs, my schedule is very flexible. I am most often available to provide pet care anytime on any day! I can also work for extended periods of time. Typically, my care for pets includes providing fresh food and water, playing, pets, and regular potty breaks. However, different pets have different needs and I am able to provide the care that suits your unique pet!
