Doggy Day Care in Portage Lakes

“Marie is amazing to say the least. I was recommend to her by a friend and my dog will definitely become one of her regulars. She allowed us to come over ahead of time and see her house/yard and my dog to meet some of her regular clients which I really appreciated! This was the first time I had ever left my dog with someone I didn’t really know and in an environment he’s only seen once and I was a little nervous but she assured me he would be in great hands. She texted me pictures and updates all day long and was quick to respond if I had any questions. 10/10 recommend Marie to anyone looking for a dog sitter who’s dog gets along with other dogs.”

“So good with Maple's puppy energy, her home is so dog-friendly with an amazing back yard for safe wandering and playing. So grateful my puppy can have a great time with her new friends at Kathy's home while I am working!”

“Betty and Mark were incredibly considerate and attentive hosts. They ensured that we had a thorough meet and greet beforehand, and sent great updates throughout the stay. I would highly recommend them!”

About: I have been living with dogs, my entire life. In that time I have trained multiple puppies, and I have dog sit for multiple families. I work from home, so I am able to give my dogs and any dogs that I am watching plenty of attention during the day. I keep our house and our fenced-in backyard clear of any dangers that could harm any of our pets. I keep water readily available, both inside and outside along with comfortable places to lay down.

About: I've grown up with fuzzies and cared for them all. Tended and loved bunnies both big and small, pups young and old, cats timid and bold. Regardless of pet, I will treat 'em like gold. Loved on and spoiled they'll be sorry to go, I'll keep them quite cozy and you in the know. Caring for fur-babies requires love, understanding, and flexibility. Each pet comes with her own needs and personality. With four dogs (Diamond, Patrick, Trish, and Dusty) and four cats (Joel, Hibbleton, Joe, and Dom) in my care, I've had a little bit of practice in nourishing each individual purr-sonality. Once we get the schedules sorted, I'll be sure to give your loved one the same consideration and I think we'll get along just fine. That being said, I kindly ask that you be mindful of my time. When I reply to your initial message, I typically wait 4-24 hours for a response. If I don’t hear back within that window, I may archive the request. If you send me a booking request but aren't sure of the exact dates and times, I can hold your request for 4-48 hours while you confirm the details. If the issue is not resolved within that time frame, the request may be archived. Hello, and thank you for meeting me here! If I'm at your house, your fur-baby will be let out every 4-8 hours unless otherwise needed. At least one daily walk is guaranteed (weather permitting) so your little one can catch up on all the neighborhood gossip; if there's a dog park nearby, I'll take him to meet up with his friends. If you'll provide me with your dog's dietary needs, medications, and routines; I'll do my best to make sure that he's feelin' just as fly as he would be if you were there. Now if your pup chooses to stay at my lovely establishment, I do have a questionnaire for all clients to ensure that every aspect of your pup’s care is covered. Among other things, I ask about your pup’s needs, medications, vaccinations, preferences, and routines. After the business part is sorted, I have for your pupper two yards; one for business, one for fun. My house has two floors; the first floor is all his. The rules are pretty chill. Pets are allowed on the furniture, food and water are freely available, tricks are rewarded with treats, and if he's a well-behaved gentle-pup, bedtime is kennel-free. However, if you have different boundaries set for your pet I'll be happy to ensure that your little one minds his manners during his stay. Oh, one more thing: I am the tug-o-war champion, though your dog is welcome to try and take my title.

“Dakota is and has been a lover of animals for as long as I can remember. She has an affinity for life which she shares with her and her family’s pets and takes every chance she can to enjoy the company of animals. She loves the outdoors, dog walking/hiking, and is thoughtful when it comes to requirements specific to each pet such as diet/exercise. If you do not want to second guess quality and attention to care of your pet, look no further than Dakota!”

“Wonderful family! Definitely knew my pup was in great hands!”

“Thanks! Lucia and Iris had a great time”

“donald communicated well & bubby came back very happy! he helped with a last minute booking & i couldn’t be more thankful”

“She took care of our Buddy and was flexible when our visit to the Hall of Fames took longer than expected.”

“I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a loving, patient, caring and fun place for their loved fur-baby to stay. Alexandra has watched out precious "Luna" on multiple occasions, and our normally shy dog gets so excited when we bring her to Alexandra to stay while we are out of town. It makes us feel much better knowing our girl is happy and safe when we need to spend time apart. Our Luna has pretty intense separation anxiety, but she does really well with Alexandra.”

“Paula and Bill were amazing hosts for Otto! He had a great time there and loved playing with their own pup as well. We would definitely work with them again!”

“Jenna is thorough and considerate in her care of animals. Because of her experience, she knows what pets need, and she goes the extra mile to treat them well.”

“Hannah was great w/ my boys. She played w/ them and took them for a good walk and even sent me pics. They had room and freedom to roam the house freely and room to play catch for my shepherd, which was very important! Lol I have 2 big boys that are well behaved but can be intimidating for some ppl just d/t their size, Hannah showed no fear! Thank you for a great day!!”

“We are so fortunate to have found Adrian for caring + reliable companionship for our Luc today. She interacted genuinely with us + our dog + accommodated our schedule change this evening. We will definitely connect with Adrian again when we need care in Akron ! Thank you Adrian :-)”

“Okay, so, I never leave my dog with a sitter. Normally, I am the sitter. But life gets hectic, holidays happen, and I needed to drop my fur baby off somewhere safe. She means the whole world to me and I was petrified of leaving her with a stranger but my gut told me she'd be fine. My gut was right! Nibbler seems very content, and Tyler updated me about her regularly while she stayed with him. She and I are happy as clams. I would definitely recommend him to take care of your four-legged friends and family!”

“Rachael is fantastic! She is super sweet and reliable and great with our little anxious Theo. He was so relaxed the entire day! She is punctual and quick to respond. 10/10 would recommend!”

About: My rover is always up and always being monitored. I have had a few people reach out to me through this app and we have had wonderful experiences! I know how hard it can be to leave a family member with a stranger! So reach out to me, let’s meet up and make sure that this will be a good fit! My boarding and sitting fees are reflective of the level of care your animal will receive in my care. I treat all animals as my own, allow them regular potty breaks, and take them for walks to expend their energy. My reviews speak for themself! Let me help you keep your animal safe and tended to while you rest, vacation, or attend to business! I live on my own, with only one cat as a pet. I have a two bedroom house with space on the higher level and then an open basement! I’m sure my space can accommodate your fur baby! Send me a message! Let’s see if we can figure this out together. I work from home most days so my schedule is usually wide open to take dogs out to the bathroom during the day and then extra exercise during the evenings. My home is in a quiet neighborhood filled with other lovely dogs. My cat is very nonchalant and typically minds his own business. Additionally, my daughter is only with me half time so that usually won’t pose any issues.
