Dog Boarding in Porter, IN

“I'm so happy I choose to leave my dog with Patty. He was taken care of and I was updated on how he was doing. I definitely felt better being away knowing she was caring for him and not leaving him unattended all night like some places.”

“This is perhaps my third or fourth time using Jesus for my dog Rex and I have been extremely satisfied. Animals generally show when they are happy being around certain people and Rex happily jumps to attention when he sees Jesus and his beautiful family. This stay was 6 days and I was really happy to receive pictures and see how happy Rex was spending time with this Sitter. If you are seeking the peace of mind that I have when leaving my dog with a Sitter then this is certainly the place you want to leave your pet. Jesus is clearly one of the Top Rated Sitters on this site.”

“This App and the service Giannina provided for Mason was amazing. I can tell he felt like he had a second home in her care. We will definitely be using her boarding again. Ruff Ruff Mason approves”

“We are so grateful to have found Andrea and Paul to look after our girls while we took a trip to Chicago with our kiddos for spring break. We were nervous as our 7 month old Indy had never spent the night outside our house but we felt confident they were in good hands as soon as we met Paul. Andrea was great at communicating and sending us pictures each day of our girls having a good time. Their house and yard are nice and clean and they even had crates set up for them. We will definitely bring Indy and Loki again next time we plan a trip. Well worth the peace of mind. Thank you both so much!”

“Thaaaannnkkk you Toya! She was wonderful throughout the whole process. Great communication, was able to accommodate only a few days prior of notification, and flexible with the booking! Dropoff was easy, and my dog didn't even bark when she came out (always a good sign of a dog person!). Of course he would have a small incident in her residence, Toya was informative in what happened and was still patient and kind. We would definitely consider using her again.”

“Nancy was great! Had our flight changed and Nancy was more than willing to take our dog a day early. Got regular updates with messages and pictures of how things were going. Put us at ease that everything was going well and let us enjoy our vacation.”

Mike D.

“Everything seemed to go great. Cassidy sent pictures regularly showing our dog Ozzie getting along very well in her home. She was always super responsive to messages. I'd use Cassidy again in a heart beat.”

Joe M.

“I am so glad I met Joy and Dan through here! Our regular sitter had to cancel last minute due to being sick and with only a days notice they were able to set up a same day meet and greet. I left their feeling more then confident about them and dropped off my boxer Lola the next day. Within seconds of us dropping off I got an adorable picture of Lola getting belly rubs from her children, she was definitely in doggy heaven. We recieved a couple more pictures throughout her stay and my mind was definitely put at ease and I knew she was in great hands. They will definitely be my go to sitters from now on and I highly recommend them! Thanks Joy and Dan!”

“Janis and family did a fantastic job in making my dog, Cubbie, feel welcomed and well taken care of. I received daily photos in which I could tell that she was happy and enjoying her stay, unlike the times I took her to an Animal Hospital for boarding. I highly recommend Janis if you are looking for a great stay for your fur baby!!!”

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Currently, I care for two of my own—Sparky, my sweet 13-year-old Bichon Frise, and Shelby, my playful 1-year-old Miniature Goldendoodle. Having both a senior dog and a young, energetic pup has given me a wide range of hands-on experience, from managing health needs and gentle senior care to keeping up with puppy energy, training, and teething phases. In the past, I also cared for an American Pitbull Terrier for 5 years, and over the years I’ve looked after many dogs for friends, neighbors, and family members. Some of the breeds I’ve worked with include Chihuahuas, Beagles, Golden Retrievers, Pomeranians, and a variety of lovable mixes. Every dog is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one’s personality and quirks. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, young or elderly, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I’m usually available Monday through Friday, which means I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play with, and care for your pup. Whether they need a midday stroll, some company while you’re away, or just a little extra love and attention, I’m happy to be there for them. I’m home often, so I’m able to keep a close eye on the dogs and make sure they’re always safe and cared for. While my yard is open and unfenced, I never leave dogs outside unattended—they’re always on a leash and supervised, with access to a sunny, enclosed sunroom for extra comfort. For smaller dogs, I have a crate available if preferred by the owner, and I’m also able to provide transport in case of a vet emergency. My home is stocked with cozy blankets and toys that are always available for dogs to borrow and enjoy. Located in a quiet, beautiful area, the home offers plenty of space to explore, bird- and squirrel-watching opportunities, and nearby parks for peaceful outings. The spacious living room and multiple rooms allow for safe separation if needed, ensuring every dog feels comfortable. Most of all, your pup will enjoy peace, safety, and lots of love while in my care.

“Great sitter! Available last minute and flexible, friendly. Luna was her normal happy self when I picked her up. I would definitely use her again.”

Andrea D.

“Bernice went over and above. She kept ms up to date and included pictures during the entire stay. I would highly recommend Bernice and Cheddar to any pet parent.”

William C.

“Shirley (& her husband) did a great job taking care of Luna for a long weekend! Her dog, Tonya, is super sweet and mellow. I appreciated the updates and pictures letting me know all was good! I wouldn't hesitate to have Luna stay there again!”

Christine S.

“Wow! Great experience! We would go back in a minute! No issues frequent updates with pictures. Our dog Duke had a great time. We did not have to worry about him at all!!! Mary Anne is super sweet and very easy to work with! I would highly highly recommend for sure!!”

Gail P.

“I'm kinda particular who I leave my guy with. Shawne left me feeling assured he would be well cared for and it's obvious he was. Shawne kept me posted and sent me happy pics. Thanks so much. Will definitely keep Shawne for future needs.”

“Meredith did a great job with my two girls! I was a little concerned at first, not sure if she could handle my 10 month old German Shepherd, Jream, but overall, she did very well even without having a fenced yard. My girls still got a full hour of playtime in a nearby fenced area where they were able to run and play ball freely. Meredith followed all my instructions, and I would definitely use her again.”

Alvia G.

“Our Aussie Pup had a great day with Lindsey, Michael and Lucy. Our pup is a 6 month old tireless delinquent and slept for the better part of 24 hours after a 6 hour visit. She had an awesome time, and Lindsey did a great job of keeping us informed of all that was planned for the dogs. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job for us and our family member! Highly recommended!”

“Curly loved his stay with Emma & Timothy. It was a last minute reservation so I was grateful to have such accommodating hosts. Communication was awesome. 5/5.”

Zach L.

“Rose did a wonderful job watching our Ember! She stayed with her for 5 days while we were out of town, sent lots of pictures, and kept me updated. When we met prior to Ember’s stay, I could see her love of dogs in her manner of communicating with Ember. Rose strikes me as one of those people that just has a special connection and understanding of dogs that goes beyond what normal people see. She also has dogs of her own so I was happy Ember had some friends to play with! I will happily entrust her to watch Ember again for our future travels. Thank you so much Rose! ?”
