Testimonials

On 3/12/2025 Sheryl Smith had this to say:
Our seven month old, GSP, Sammy loves going to daycare at Tammie’s. She gets extra excited in the mornings I drop her off. Drop off and pick up is quick and easy. Everyone working there loves the dogs. In the evenings after daycare Sammy is more chill which gives us a little break! Here are pics of her on her way to daycare and on her way home!

On 3/12/2025 Sheryl had this to say:
Our dog Sammy loves going to daycare at Tammie’s. Everyone there is friendly and takes great care of our dog. Easy to drop-off and pickup. Our evenings are less crazy when Sammy has been able to play most of her day! Testimonial written by Sheryl on this site.

On 3/1/2025 Janet Armstrong had this to say:
Tammie is a kind-hearted dog trainer and boarding professional. She took the time to listen to our situation and provide Sam with the boarding care he needed. She provides us with photos, videos and updates. We feel completely safe and comfortable that he is in good hands and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for loving professional care for their dog.

On 1/3/2025 Jessica DeVries had this to say:
I have known Tammie personally for a bit before she opened her shop in Portage. Once she opened, we took full advantage of trying out her services from training, doggie sitting and boarding. I could not recommend anyone more qualified or loving than Tammie (and her entire crew). She always goes above and beyond for her furry clients & their humans. I'm so excited for her new opportunity in opening a larger facility and offering even MORE services to our community!! THANK YOU Tammie for loving all 4 of our fur babies as much as we do.

On 9/4/2024 Xavier Silva had this to say:
During the Labor Day Weekend, Tammies Dog Services, Portage, Indiana, came out and provided service to both my Cat Zara & Dog Rena. They were both in great spirits as I came back from camping with family on Monday. Prior to that, I stopped in Tammies to go over the details and the atmosphere was very positive and friendly. The Monday prior to leaving Lynn came to the house to visit with both pets. She had a warm and friendly attitude and the love for animals. I was very pleased! Xavier A. Silva
