What would happen and stop me from using smaller beings?

A problem I've run into is the use of ultra massive beings due to the effects of the square-cube law which means that I cannot within the current laws of physics have the world I envision. My world contains massive, island size ,tortoise-like creatures which walk through shallow coastal areas. These creatures are used as living space by sentient creatures with intelligence equal to humans or better.

However that does not work so what I propose instead is the having the tortoises normal size for a pet and the sentients proportionally sized. Is this possible? Are there any requirements?
