My dog Stella stayed with Julie for over 2 weeks while I was on a trip overseas. I arranged the stay just a few days before I left and was happy to find someone I could trust so quickly. Stella was taken care of very well, she looked very comfortable in the pictures I received and I picked her up healthy and happy. She even found some new playmates during her stay. I will gladly book another stay with Julie should the need arise.

We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Becky did an excellent job of making Rocky feel comfortable even though he is a new rescue of mine. She stayed in touch the entire time I was gone and sent lots of pictures and videos. I would highly recommend her and hope to have Rocky there again soon!

I can’t recommend Kathy enough! She hosted my dog (Maple) for two nights and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Kathy is very experienced, a great communicator, and clearly loves dogs! Her home is so welcoming and my Maple had a wonderful time going for nature walks and sunbathing in the yard. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your pup in the Portage area, I highly recommend contacting Kathy.

Alexia was fantastic! She knew that we wanted updates on our fur baby while away on vacation so she sent us updates daily. We also paid a little extra to get our baby groomed before bringing him home and she did amazing! We could tell that he had a fantastic time with her while we were gone. Definitely recommend! Will use again if needed. Thank you!!

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and they have enriched my life so much. I volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds, and socializing with the cats. I regularly walked dogs and was a dog/house sitter for over a year, then took a brief hiatus while I was working full time and am getting back into dog sitting now that I have a house of my own, and can offer boarding services! I have also had two puppies over my life that I helped raise and take care of into their old age. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend loving your critters, and my partner works fully remote so he is available to let dogs in and out while I am gone! We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play, plus we love going on walks when we have dogs visiting us. We have two cats, Swiper and Bilbo, who are both familiar with dogs, and can be shy but very friendly. They also have their own hideaway which houses their food and litter that dogs do not have access to in case they need some time to themselves. My mom's dog, Juno, also visits us frequently, and she LOVES having playmates around and gets along with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I make sure to take swift action on any problems that may arise, and communicate frequently in detail. You can rest easy knowing I treat any critter in my care as if they were one of my own, and you will also receive picture updates every day, usually multiple times a day. I work part time, and my partner works from home so we have lots if time and attention for your pets! We both love dogs and cats alike, and we have a large fenced in yard for running and playing, as well as enjoy going on long walks. I have a large fenced in yard for running and playing, and two cats who get along well with other cats and dogs, plus they have their own hideaway out of reach from dogs for their own space.

Jamie was really friendly and gave me regular updates and pictures of my dog during her stay there. He took her out on regular walks. Millie had a really good time during her stay at Jamie’s house. I will definitely use his services in the future. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Jamie if you need a good home and a sitter to watch your dog

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort cues so I can provide care that truly fits the individual animal. I’m especially patient with young pets, reinforcing basic training like routine consistency, positive behavior encouragement, and structured play to help them build good habits. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m already someone who plans my day around consistency and responsibility. I structure my mornings and evenings to allow time for feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and checking in on overall behavior and mood. Throughout the day, I make space for playtime, enrichment, or simply providing companionship—because I know attention and interaction are just as important as basic care. On a weekly basis, I build in time for deeper cleaning, grooming if needed, and restocking supplies. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in” last minute—it’s something I intentionally prioritize as part of a steady, organized routine. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, structured environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow their regular feeding schedule, maintain clean water and litter areas, and make sure they have a quiet space to relax. I also provide daily playtime and enrichment based on their personality—whether that’s interactive toys, brushing, or simply giving them attention and companionship. I monitor their behavior closely to ensure they’re eating well, staying active, and showing no signs of stress.

Reed and Natalie watched our dog, Maggie, and they were amazing! Sent us daily updates with pictures and videos and Maggie always looked so happy! We ran into travel issues returning home and they were very flexible with timing of picking her up and were even willing to watch her another night if needed. Highly recommend them!

Trina loves dogs, it's plain to see. My dog enjoys his overnight stay's over her home because he gets lots of love & gets to play with her dogs. I feel that he's happy while in her care & well taken care of! I'll definitely use her more when we go out of town. :)

Staci and her family took amazing care of Odo! When dropping off she welcomed me into her home to make sure he would be comfortable with her kids and her 5 month old pup. She kept me updated throughout the stay, and took him for a long walk. I would feel very comfortable having him stay there again in the future.
