Dog Boarding Baxter

“Ollie loved being at Michelle’s! And no wonder- she’s knowledgeable, skilled, and showed genuine affection for him. Michelle provided individualized attention for settling him into happy interactions with her own little buddies and with other dog friends he met there. Sending us pictures and videos and messages settled any fretting we might have felt, too. Thank you, Michelle!”

“I have never entrusted anyone with my dog before, but I can confidently say that I will never leave him with anyone other than Alia. When I went to pick him up, he was visibly excited to see me, but he barked at me while Alia had him on a leash. His barking is usually a sign of protectiveness, which instantly reassured me that he felt safe and secure with her. As he got closer and recognized me, his excitement became evident, but before leaving with me, he tried to run back towards Alia again, showing just how much he adored her. I didn't take offense to any of this; in fact, I was overjoyed because it demonstrated how much he enjoyed his time with her. If I could change one thing, it would be that she didn't always initiate updates through text. I felt like I had to reach out to get updates, but this didn't bother me because I understand that everyone has their own way of doing things. Perhaps she prefers to provide updates at the end of the day, and I just didn't give her the opportunity to do so since I wanted updates at the beginning of the day. I never communicated this expectation, so I can't fault her for it. Nonetheless, she was always responsive and would reply within the first 2-5 minutes. On the day of pickup, she even offered to give him a bath and blow dry for an additional cost, which I thought was a fantastic gesture. Who wants to bathe their dog after a vacation? Definitely not me! Overall, my experience with her was beyond exceptional, and I would rate it 10000/10. I highly recommend her services as she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. I will never choose anyone else. Plus, my dog came back smelling and looking amazing!”

“This was a fantastic experience for our first time using this service. They made our pups feel at home and safe. We would definitely go with them again if we are in the area. Lots of great updates and I genuinely think they didn't want to see the pups go home!”

“Alexander cared for my dog exceptionally well. I received photos and videos during the stay and it looked like my dog was having lots of fun. I highly recommend Alexander and will rebook with him for future stays!”

“Both my Dogs Neil and Sophie loved Korah. Korah comb their hair daily (including putting a top knot in Sophie hair). Her updates were the best - my dogs were snuggling up to her and playing - gave me peace of mind while on vacation. House was left neat and clean and she even left a treat and a toy for the kids with a lovely thank you card. Very nice job”

“Our pup is turning 3 in June and we had never left her with anyone. We found Kessia and felt an instant connection. She confidently, but gently assured our pup and us that there was nothing to worry about, and her two pups instantly welcomed ours in playful banter. We have no concerns in leaving our pup with Kessia.”

“Jacob was wonderful. He understood my concern for our dog Bella and kept me informed. He was also flexible with our pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you Jacob!!”

Julie S.

“Approved a last minute request due to an unexpected need to travel out of town - grateful for that! Was incredibly responsive to communication, sent photos and updates, and created an easy, smooth process for us. Conveniently located in Menomonie, and love that our dog had a fenced in back yard to run in. Would highly recommend!”

Kira B.

“Amanda and Derek were great! Brynlee was well cared for. We received updates and pictures! We will definitely use them again!!!”

Michelle T.

“Tiffany watched our two dogs while we were away on a trip. One dog is old and the other is full of energy. She is amazing and was very loving to our dogs. She sent me pictures and videos daily. I highly recommend her and will hopefully use her service again!”

Christine R.

“Finny’s stay with Jennifer and her family was awesome. I got updates on how my girl was doing throughout the stay and she was very happy. When I picked her up she was happy, relaxed and loved. I will definitely use Jennifer again. Thanks for the great care!”

Carol C.

“John & Ginger & Kody were so wonderful with our dogs! Thank you for the updates and pictures everyday!! Definitely recommend ❤️”

Joe S.

“Molly was super helpful taking Ruby last minute! She is extremely sweet and took great care of our puppy! Thanks Molly!”

Nicholette R.

“Rashelle was a very kind sitter and was able to get Penny to play with a toy of which she (penny) has never done since I have owned her. I would definitely use her again.”

Terry B.

“Olivia was very open with communication before dropping off my kitten, she sent daily updates with photos, and she even bathed my kitten after her incident in the car. I believe my kitten was very well taken care of and was happy and healthy when she returned.”

Emma P.

“Sarah was great! We were so impressed with her and how her entire family took care of our 2 small dogs. I received updates all the time on how they were doing. It was a great experience and will be using Sarah in the future. She took all the anxiety of leaving my pups with someone else while we were away. Thank you Sarah!”

Barb B.

“Our dogs had a great time at Alisha's. We went camping for a weekend, which was our first time leaving them at a sitter's house since we got them. We felt very assured that they were in good hands. They were pooped when we picked them up and slept all day once we got home. Doesn't happen often so that's how we knew they got a lot of playing in that weekend!”

Mallory C.

“Amanda & her family are so great! It was so comforting to know while we were gone for 9 days that both of our dogs were so well cared for. She followed our instructions explicitly and sent us daily updates. It’s clear her family treats the dogs they watch as a member of their family. We will absolutely use Amanda in the future for needs.”

Kristina V.

“Nicole and Joshua are really great! She sent great pictures and took excellent care of my puppy! Will absolutely use their care services again!”

About: 20+ years of experience (that makes me feel old). Unofficial dog sitter for family and friends since high school. Loyal to my fellow dog loving friends sharing word of mouth recommendations, fostered a giant breed and helped find his forever home, loved my first dog for nearly 8 years, and now I would like to fill the void by helping care for your four legged family member. I have experience caring for senior dogs and puppies as well. I work fully remote, so I appreciate the screen breaks. I am able to go out for walks or outdoor time often. After losing my dog this summer, I do miss the quality time and walk routines. We joke that you better love dogs, but it is true. My home is setup to be dog friendly, maybe more rugs for traction on the vinyl plank floors. Animals are part of the family and that is how we treat guest pets as well. Living on 3 acres in the country, so a great space for outdoor activities. I am quite respectful when residing in another’s home and great at following instructions and/or preferred routines.
