“Shelby and her family took excellent care of my very senior dachshund. She was so communicative and understanding about his quirks. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting.”


“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.”


“Thank you for always taking such good care of Gully! He always comes home happy and ready for a long nap. 🐶 thank you for watching him while we went to Florida as well. He gets so excited now when we pack his crate and bin. 😊 I always appreciate the pictures too!”



“Austin had so much fun staying with Kathy! Her backyard is great for running around and I could tell he instantly felt right at home with her. I would definitely use her as a sitter again.”


“Savannah is extremely caring. Communication with her is really easy. She did her best to accommodate our request in the last minute note. The only thing, I did not have updates about our dog unless I asked.”


“Sarah is a warm and delightful human who clearly loves dogs. We were waiting for the green light from my husband's doctor for a fishing trip before we could book Pivo's weekend with her, but of course we needed to find someone beforehand who could take him if it was a go. Sarah was very kind, patient and accommodating, answering all messages quickly, and it all worked out! Pivo and her two little doggies hit it off right away (a relief, since a meet-and-greet the day before didn't go well - you just never know with doggies) so we felt great about finally being able to book with her. He was calm and tired when we picked him up, a good indicator that he had plenty of exercise. We don't travel a lot but will definitely call Sarah next time we do. Thank you, Sarah!”


“Trina and her daughter were wonderful hosts for Rosie. They offered to do a meet and greet before the day, so she could get comfortable. And I could tell that she was happy and well taken care of when I came to pick her up!”



“We couldn't have gotten any more lucky than we did with Julie & her husband. Our Nya Bear looked like she had a great time in their home. Unfortunately she just started to blow her coat right before we dropped her off, but they continued to brush her out throughout her stay. We'll definitely be having her stay with Julie & her husband from now on when we need someone to look after her.”


“Stephen and Rachel were wonderful for boarding our cat, Nori. They are just the nicest couple and ommunication was always quick and easy. Their home is warm, inviting, and peaceful. They have two adorable cats of their own that were relaxed and friendly. After leaving Nori with Stephen and Rachel for over a week, she returned home in perfect shape. We would absolutely reach out to Stephen and Rachel for any future boarding needs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our Nori!”


“Jordan was so friendly and good to our girl. She kept me updated and was understanding when we ran late picking up Phoebe. Phoebe seemed to really enjoy her time at Jordan’s. We would definitely recommend and ask her in the future needs.”


“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!”


“Nayoma was excellent with our pup. We felt so comfortable leaving her there knowing she would be well taken care of, we also got daily photos of Savannah playing and having the best time ever. Highly recommend Nayoma for dog sitting!”


“Ashtyn is very nice and Bimmer seemed to really enjoy her and her dog Gus. I was provided with pics/videos when we were away and communication was awesome! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”


“Amanda provided wonderful care for our senior dog. She was very proactive, learning about our dog’s personality, needs and quirks before meeting us. She was very accommodating, helping us with drop off and pick up so that we could better manage our flight schedules. She sent us pictures pretty much each day and it helped to know that our pet was being lovingly cared for. Our dog came back calm and well rested. We would definitely consider having Amanda take care of our dog again. Thanks Amanda!”


“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.”


About: I am used to dealing with cats and dogs of all sizes and nature. I have pet sat and house sat for friends and family. I have a free weekly schedule with lots of flexibility. I am available to any strange hours or days. I love animals and make time. I am always respectful of each houses rule and maintain boundaries with the animals without being harsh. Always clean after myself and never leave a mess.
