House Sitting Portage Bay

“Natalie was great with our pets! She sent us plenty of pictures and updates while we were out and was very professional. We look forward to booking with her again.”

“Lucy the dog was so relaxed and exhausted after her stay with Lisa, she didn’t even wake up when I walked through the door! Lisa was a fabulous dog sitter for Lucy and was very patient with all the needs and quirks of my elderly girl. I can’t thank her enough for all the TLC she showed both for the dog and for the house while I was away! Cannot recommend Lisa highly enough.”

Kili B.

“Uliana was great sitting our two large dogs for the week while we were traveling. She sent regular updates, and left our home sparkling clean, which was really nice to return to after traveling. I would recommend uliana.”

“This was our second time booking Melissa to housesit for our reactive dog, Toji. She followed our instructions, kept us updated, and clearly cares. We’ll continue to have her watch Toji when we go away.”

“Caleb loooked after our 7-month old Golden Retriver puppy and pet rabbit for 4 days and did a fantastic job! He spent tons of quality time with the animals (lots of walks and time playing outside for the puppy, and pets for the bunny) the house was spotless when we returned home. We would recommend Caleb and will certainly look to book him again when we have a need for a house sitter!”

Kirsten K.

“We’re so grateful Lynn was able to stay in our home to watch our pup, Benny. She was a great communicator and caretaker for both our dog and our home while we were away. We would not hesitate to book with her again anytime.”

Jenna G.

“Eunice is so wonderful! She understood my directions really well, asked a lot of questions beforehand, and it looks like Eddie had a lot of fun hanging out with her too. By the time I came back from vacation he was well fed and bright eyed. I can't wait to book Eunice again!”

“This was the first time that I left my cats with a non family member. Kathleen did a great job asking thoughtful questions, approaching the cats gently and communicating with me while I was gone. Everything was tidy upon my return and the cats were well cared for.”

Becky C.

“Jade was awesome, she stayed the weekend at our place and took care of our senior golden lab while we were away. I was a bit apprehensive since this was our first time leaving him with someone we had just met but Jade put us at ease and did a great job taking care of the Colt and the house, will book again!.”

Ryan D.

“Dana was so good with my kitties! Pistachio is a shy, nervous cat and doesn't usually get comfortable around people easily - and she was so comfortable around Dana that she got on her lap on the second day of sitting! She also was very communicative and sent me photos as I had requested. When I got home, it was clear that both the kitties and my apartment had been well cared for. 10/10 would book again!”

Kathryn K.

“Jolene was a dream come true. She went above and beyond. She took care of our little one as if it were her own dog. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. She was responsible and meticulous about every detail. We're already signed up to use her again! Highly, highly recommend.”

Jan B.

“I would give Julie more stars if I could! My senior dog, Wolfie, was in the safest hands ever and I didn’t have to worry about him at all. Julie and Wolfie are now bonded for life and I will definitely be calling on her to house- and dog sit when I go on my next trip! Plus, the house was in better condition than when I left it! Thank you, SJ!!”

Paula G.

“Sofia Sol was a wonderful sitter. Updated us regularly while we were away. It gave us peace of mind to know our senior dog was able to stay comfortable and had a buddy while we were away! Thank you!! :)”

Alex R.

“Elizabeth took incredible care of our boys!! So much love, patience and attention - also lots of photos and videos too! Hope she can take care of them again soon - know that our pups will love it and we’ll be relaxed during our time away!”

Brittany C.

“Thank you for taking such good care of our brood :) We have fairly high needs pups and Theresa seemed to manage everything really well. It was also lovely to come home to such a clean house. Thank you!”

Laurie Zettler E.

“Alexis C. is kind and intuitive (and a delight to converse with). She knew just what to do with our skittish new rescue. We will ask for her help again.”

About: What sets me apart is my 22 years of hands-on, real-life experience caring for dogs as part of my own family. I spent 15 years raising and caring for my childhood Boxer from puppyhood through senior years, which gave me deep experience with training, exercise needs, and age-related care. For the past 8 years, I’ve been a dedicated French Bulldog owner, giving me breed-specific knowledge around brachycephalic breathing considerations, temperature sensitivity, skin care, and routine health monitoring. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s individual needs and behavior, whether that means reinforcing good manners with puppies, providing calm and patient care for senior dogs, or simply making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and understood. I don’t just “watch” dogs—I care for them as if they’re my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, as I have open availability and intentionally structure my schedule around the needs of the dogs I’m caring for. This allows me to be flexible with walks, feedings, playtime, medication schedules, and extended companionship throughout the day. I enjoy being fully present and attentive, whether that means early mornings, evenings, weekends, or longer stays, ensuring each dog receives consistent care, routine, and attention. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I closely follow all feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific instructions to maintain consistency and reduce stress. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment, ensuring regular walks, playtime, companionship, and light pet-related home care as needed. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment with structured routines, close supervision, and plenty of affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their comfort, safety, and overall well-being.

“Henry and Ted had another fun time with Mandy. Our boys are always well cared for, loved, and excited to see her. Always reliable and trustworthy.”

“Quinn did an excellent job watching my doggo Kanna. They were really responsive and I appreciated the lovely photos they sent. Kanna got to go on a really long walk at a local park which she surely loved. Quinn super exceeded my expectations in all areas and I'm grateful they could watch kanna for her first time in a new house while I was away.”

“Alex is the best! She communicates so well, takes care of our fluffs and our house like they are her own. I can’t say enough good things. We can truly enjoy ourselves knowing everything is so greatly taken care of when we are away. Thank you Alex!!”
