Doggy Day Care in Portage

“Our dog Midge loved spending the day with Kirsten and her dog Bear! Kirsten was very thorough with her meet and greet and listened to us explain all of Midge's little quirks. Midge was tired and happy after a long walk and romping around the yard with her doggie pals. You can tell Kirsten and her family are total dog people and will take care of your own doggo as if it were their own. We're planning to use Kirsten for more day care and overnight stays in the future!”

“Thais treated Dublin like a family member. He came home happy and tired after his day with her. She provides great updates and asked questions helpful to adapt to his routine which is so appreciated with a puppy. Definitely recommend.”

“We recently had the pleasure of leaving our dog Mike with Anna, and he had an absolutely fabulous time! Anna’s beautiful home and expansive fenced acreage provided the perfect environment for Mike. He had ample space to run and play. She also made sure Mike socialized with several other friendly dogs, and he even made a new buddy! Anna kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos, which made us feel at ease knowing Mike was having a great time. At the end of the day, Mike was tired but very happy, a clear sign of the fun and exercise he enjoyed. If your dog needs lots of exercise and enjoys playing with other pups, Anna is the perfect choice.”

“Every time I drop the boys off they are so excited as soon as we pull up. They always have the best time, and Sara takes the cutest pictures and videos of the boys. Forever their favorite place to go when they aren't at home!”

“Buddy had such a a great time with Ari! Great communication and photos were provided throughout his stay. I will definitely use Ari again in the future and highly recommend his services. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my fur baby!”

“I’m a repeat client of Chuk’s and couldn’t be happier with the care she provides for my senior dog. She’s incredibly kind, communicative, and always goes out of her way to make sure my dog is comfortable and well cared for. It’s such a relief knowing my pup is in such good hands. Chuk is also very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter!”

About: Thank you for viewing my profile. Please read it in its entirety before sending a boarding request, as a lot of your questions can be answered in the text. The two questions i get the most are am I home all day with the dogs and how many dogs do you watch at one time? I am retired so except for running errands, etc, your dog(s) will be supervised at all times.I DO watch dogs from different households at the same time, having had as many as 8 Rover dogs at once If this is a concern I invite you to come down and meet us, to see how mellow and manageable it is, and how happy the dogs are to be in the company of other dogs. I never watch a dog without meeting it first so this ensures that everyone gets along and it's a good fit. My mom runs a no-kill animal shelter in Florida so I guess you could say it's in my blood. I currently have 2 dogs (the last dog i adopted was from an elderly Rover client who could no longer take care of him) but i've had as many as 4 at one time. Always small dogs, which is what I'm most comfortable with. I've adopted, loved and cared for dogs through all their stages of life, in "sickness and in health", so I'm quite aware of the quirkiness that comes with a dog that has a history. At the moment I’m not boarding puppies because my older dogs can’t handle all the high energy of the youngsters. Nothing brings me more joy than watching these little dogs come out of their shell during the stay. Their tail going from tucked, unsure, "what am I doing here", to full wag! Many owners have told me that when they get to the top of my hill their dog starts getting excited, they know they're coming to my house and they are happy about it. They march right up my steps with zero hesitation. They might not sleep with us on day one, but they almost always find their way into the bed by the time they leave. My goal is to have them feel like one of the pack, loved and secure, safe and happy. I recently retired after 40+ years in the hospitality industry so I will be home with your dog(s) day and night. There's nothing i love more than being in the company of dogs, so watching them is my passion. I will treat your dog(s) like my own. I live in the Arroyo's, a private beach neighborhood in Arbor Heights, West Seattle. I have a gate on the front door so the dogs can't run out if the door opens, though there's hardly any traffic where I live. I have a fully fenced in backyard, perfect for potty breaks and sunbathing. Your dog will never be left unattended in the yard .Inside I have dog beds throughout the house that move with the sunspot. I have cameras to watch the dogs when i'm not home (spoiler alert, they sleep), and WE HAVE AC!

“Francena is a loving, caring, and knowledgeable provider! She treats my senior Bichon like her own. She took prompt care of him when he was anxious (which he always is now that he is senior). She kept me posted and was very patient with his senior habits! She really knows dogs with all her experience in showing, breeding, grooming, and vet industries. I'm so happy to have found her!❤️”

“Tamar's great! I had to leave Max for a week when I was out of town. This was first time Max was left with a sitter, so I was little worried. But no worries! Tamar sent me daily photo update. Max seemed to enjoy his stay and not miss me at all. Thanks to Tamar for taking care of Max so well!”

“Enzo had a wonderful day with Han. Everything went smoothly with drop off and pick up and Han was professional throughout the process. She took amazing care of our pup and we will definitely book with her again in the future! Thank you so much, Han! :)”

“Gino is awesome! He's incredibly reliable and our dog, Brandi, absolutely adores him. Gino goes above and beyond to ensure that Brandi is happy, healthy, and well-loved while we're away. His communication is top-notch, and we always feel at ease knowing our pup is in his capable hands. His responsiveness is unmatched and I enjoy his updates of photos and videos that he sends throughout the day.”

“Alvin and Simone had a wonderful day at Sarah’s. The entire family welcomed them into their home. Sarah sent pictures updating as to how they were doing and my pups had doggy smiles on their faces. I will definitely use Sarah again.”

“Christina was AMAZING! She listened to me so well when I was explaining my dog’s needs and then pampered him the entire day! I got so many cute updates and videos and I could tell he was having a great time. The best part? He was so calm and happy when I picked him up! I knew she did a great job! I wish we lived nearby and could have her dog sit more more often!”

Ali L.

“Thanks for watching Anaiya, she seemed very comfortable and content at your house and I know she loves your big backyard.”

“Jennifer is excellent. Super responsive and accommodating. Louie legitimately gets excited every time he sees her. No one will ever love your dog as Jennifer does.”

About: I’ve had multiple dogs in my lifetime, and also dog-sit occasional at their home. I don’t believe in rushing animals, nor do I want to take care of more than two at a time. I want each animal to have enough attention to build trust between us. I am currently working part time, primarily remote, and enjoy being out in my yard. The floor plan is pretty open, but can be gated if necessary. I have a house situated in a small neighbourhood with minimal through traffic. I am comfortable with crate trained pups, as well as free roaming. I have two indoor/outdoor cats that have some exposure to dogs. Additionally, I am near the airport with an outdoor parking space available that you can leave your car on and use a ride share service to the airport for a small fee. If your trip is less than a week it’s $25, and if it is over a week it’s $50. The goal of the monies from this arrangement will be put towards getting the yard securely fenced! :)
