“Amazing people, kept me updated on my babies constantly because I was so nervous ? but they were so accommodating and my babies had so much fun. Will definitely book them again next time we come to Michigan!”


“Thank-you so much for everything. Rathy was is great hands. I appreciate your help and everything you've done for him. We will be returning so he can play with his new friend.”


“Jaime is simply outstanding. Our two cats were extremely well cared for during our two week vacation. We were provided regular updates and pictures and never had to worry about how they were adjusting, if they were eating, if they were feeling comfortable enough to play, etc. Jaime is an absolute gem and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will take better care of your pets.”



“Our dogs just finished up an 11 night stay with Kelli, and they had the best time! We know our dogs always get plenty of love and care and exercise at Kelli’s place, and we’re so grateful! Knowing our dogs were so happy and healthy while we’re away helped us enjoy a long overdue vacation. Thank you Kelli!!”


“This was our first time using Rover and Deborah and Dick were amazing!! Deborah sent me multiple updates and pictures/videos of our dog while they had him all weekend!! We asked if we could pick him up a little later than planned and they were completely fine with it, and made us feel so comfortable leaving our fur baby with them!! I highly recommend!! Wonderful family on beautiful property!!”



“Julie took great care of our girl! You could tell they treated her like their own. We got several picture updates through the week which helped my son who missed her like crazy. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”


“Melissa did a great job taking care of my old lady dog Sikari! She was very patient and gentle with her. I got lots of pictures with updates with how Sikari was eating and sleeping. I always felt confident that Sikari was in good hands.”


“Millie always loves her time with Heavan. Her longest stay to date and she was well taken care of. I don't just trust anyone with my dog, she's treated as an only child and Heavan gets the importance of that. Fair priced and always treats your fur baby as her own.”



“Kathy R. is amazing at what she does and helped us out in a bind! We wanted our dog to be in our wedding ceremony (the ringbearer, natch), but he needed somewhere to go afterward and we were obviously tied up with the reception, etc. She picked him up at the venue right after the ceremony and watched him overnight. We really appreciated her flexibility, kindness and attentiveness. We would definitely use her dog-boarding services again. Thanks, Kathy!”



“Natasha was excellent, she truly loves animals and cared for my dog. She communicated with me everyday I was gone on how my dog was doing with pictures. Emi loved being there. I will be using her again in June! Thank you Natasha!”


“Deb was the best! Barnabas had a blast playing with her two dogs! He was well taken care of. It eased my mind while I was away knowing what a good time he was having. I got up dates every day on how he was doing. Thank you again Deb for taking such great care of Barnabas!”


“Katy was a fantastic dog sitter for my two hounds. From beginning to end she was helpful and caring, sending pics throughout the stay. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”


“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.”


“Ava did a great job with Finn. He had a fun time playing with her Finn and Honey. He also learned some new things, now I just need to learn them too! I definitely plan to board my Finn there again and continue working with Ava on Finn and my training.”
