“This was Chloe’s first stay and I see more stays in the future! She was great with Chloe and I really appreciated that she sent me pictures without being prompted! A+ 10/10”

“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.”
“My dog loves staying with Jenai & Sean so much so he wines now when we get close to their home. He comes back all smiles & tired from playing. Such a wonderful experience each time I don’t use anyone else. I highly recommend them!”

“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.”


“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”

“10/10 experience! My pup was well taken care of & came home happy and healthy! With such a last minute request Savannah was very responsive & answered all my questions prior to booking. I would definitely recommend booking any service with her!”

“Amanda was very flexible and allowed us to book for a long period with little notice. She updated us regularly with pictures and fun messages. She also rescued our bearded dragon during the power outage and set her up with the coziest hotel cage!”

“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.”

“Mr Bear is an old grumpy dog who doesn’t take change easily. I was worried how he would adapt to strange people in a strange place. I didn’t need to worry. Via the pictures Sarah sent in a daily basis, he was sitting in the bed, getting along everyone even the dog. I was impressed by the love and care Mr Bear got. Will definitely use her again.”

“They were so wonderful for my dog Emmy. I got regular updates with photos, which helped so much. They were quick to respond to any message or question and I would recommend and book them again when needed!”

“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.”


“Felt very comfortable having our Margo stay with Kristen while we were gone for about a week! Received updates on how she was doing and was always quick to respond, Will definitely re-book.”
“Becky is great! My dog comes home happy, healthy and tired out from playing. We love getting all the pics and updates from our pups vacation ☺️ I would not hesitate to book with her again!”

“Madison is amazing, my dog is very anxious. I had a lot of requests and Madison was very accommodating and went above and beyond. She sent updates every day and a video. Hercules was happy and well looked after. I will definitely use her again.”


“I am grateful to Ryan for taking care of my cat Sookie. Ryan was attentive, reassuring and so caring.... sending pictures that showed how Sookie had adapted well and was taken good care of. I totally recommend Ryan to take care of your pet, giving you the peace of mind you need when you are away.🩷🐱”

“Rebecca provided a safe and caring home for my little 14 year old dog. She sent photos of him both inside and outside on walks (that he loves). I will ask her again to take care of him.”

About: I’ve raised my dog from 16 weeks, and ive helped my mom be a dog walker since I was little! I understand the responsibility and care that they need, and I have a lot of love to give. I am currently a full time student trying to pay tuition! During weekdays I can do late afternoons and nights, and during weekends I have full availability! I am able to easily and gently crate animals if needed, and I am a very active person who would love to play with and walk your pet! And if your pet is more chill we can hang out together inside while I study.
“Paige gave me peace of mind on vacation knowing my dog was safe and having a ton of fun. My dog Flaco is a high energy lab and doesn't always get along with other pups. He loved the other dogs at Paige's and she made sure he could be crated and exercised away from the pack in the event they didn't get along. She sent frequent picture/text updates, was flexible about pick up/drop off, and made it easy to book another night at the last minute when I was exhausted from traveling. I'll be using Paige whenever I go out of town.”
