1. Shelby K.
“Shelby went above and beyond for our lab, Winnie. We thought we might need to cancel our stay due to a hot spot (the day before our booking) that required care, but Shelby did not hesitate to offer extra care with the written instructions we provided.”
2. Julie D.
“Julie and Joe were the best. I don’t leave my girl (Teka) with just anybody. She is a 15 year standard poodle and they have her insulin shots and very well cared for. I would recommend them for anyone. Dave and Janell Gage”
3. Adaora O.
“Adaora was amazing with my dog. She always sent photos and kept me updated on how he was doing. My dog and her dog played a lot which I was really happy about since my dog usually doesn’t have a friend to play with at home. Adoara is also very flexible with her schedule, she agreed to take my dog at a last minute request. I also ended up having to request an extra night stay for my dog since I ended up being delayed to pick him up, which she was super understanding about. I would definitely recommend Adoara.”

“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.”

12. Melissa H.
“Fantastic pet sitter! I have a very stubborn and specific elderly dog and after talking with her once, I felt completely confident that he would be well taken care of. I received multiple updates throughout my dog’s stay, and she was even gracious enough to allow me to pick him up after midnight. Everything went smoothly and I can tell from my dog’s stay, as well as the sweet attitude of the other animals in her home, that this is a very loving place for pets! Thank you very much!”
