Doggy Day Care in Bluff Acres, Madison, WI

About: I was always the friend that was chosen to stay with the pets while people were away. Sometimes on short notice so i am ready for curveballs that may come my way. Im not traditionally emplyed due to meical issues, so im at home at least every day during the week. Long term stays are acceptable. Pick up and drop off times are flexible. My apartment has a fenced potty area where your pup can do their buisness and get some free roam exercize. If a crate is a part of your dogs system I am able to work with that. Your pup will get plenty of affection and enrichment while in my care.

“Perfect set up for dog heaven. I needed a sitter for the day and I’m pretty sure my dog had the time of his life. He took a solid nap after picking him up!”

About: Pet parents love booking with me because I provide fast communication, reliable care, and affordable rates. I typically respond within 2–3 minutes between 7am and 9pm, so you’ll never be left waiting for a response or update. I also have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate short-notice bookings, making things easy for busy pet parents. In July 2025, my heart grew four paws bigger when I brought home Bella, my sweet Goldendoodle—and I’ve loved every second of raising, training, and adventuring with her. I genuinely love spending time with dogs—it’s basically free therapy haha! 🐶 As a dedicated dog sitter and pet caregiver, I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. Whether it’s dog sitting, doggy day care, boarding, drop-in visits, or walks, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I grew up with cats and fostered over 10 through the Underdog Pet Rescue of Wisconsin during college, helping them heal, build confidence, and find their forever homes (one of those special fosters even joined my parents’ family!). From vet appointments and administering medications to daily routines, enrichment, exercise, and lots of snuggles, I’ve been hands-on in every stage of pet care. Today, with Bella and two adopted cats of my own, my home is full of love, structure, and happy tails. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s exactly what they are to me. 💛🐶🐱 If you’re looking for an affordable, reliable, and communicative pet sitter, I would love to meet you and your furry family members! I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. My schedule is structured but flexible, so I can build in walks, feeding routines, and enrichment without rushing. I’m also mostly around on weekends, making it easy to provide extra companionship and supervision. I keep my calendar updated every 1–2 days and sometimes have flexibility even on days that show as unavailable—please message me and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pets would have reliable care, routine, and plenty of love all week long. 🐾💛 I care for pets in a safe, loving home environment designed with animals in mind. I live in a house with plenty of space, cozy dog and cat beds, and lots of toys to keep everyone comfortable and entertained. We have a huge backyard plus sidewalks throughout the neighborhood for daily walks—and I’m always happy to drive somewhere new for a fun adventure or a pup cup treat. For overnight boarding in my home, all dogs are safely crated at night to ensure a secure and restful environment for everyone. I’m happy to schedule a meet and greet with you, your dog, and my animals ahead of time to make sure everyone feels comfortable. Please feel free to ask me any questions you have about my services—I’m a very transparent person and want you to feel reassured that your baby is in good hands while you’re away. My home is fully animal-safe and pet-ready, as I’ve already created a structured, secure space for my three own furry family members. 🐾💛

“Brittany took wonderful care of Walter for the day. He came home happy and healthy. Brittany was super easy to communicate with.”

“My pup Popsicle loves Cynthia and gets so excited to see her! Cynthia gives excellent ‘pupdates’ and is super-communicative, so when you’re away from your pup (and missing them), you’ll get beautiful pics and updates. She treats my pup like family, and I’ve hired her again and again!”

About: I started pet sitting at age 12. I’m comfortable with all animals from exotic to barnyard (ex. Horses, pigs, bearded dragons, wolf-dogs, fox, skunks, parrots and ferrets). I have had my dog for six years, and I recently took in a senior cat over the summer whom has adjusted flawlessly. I am a full time student and currently unemployed during my pregnancy journey. I spend most days at home, as most of my coursework is online. My pets are crate trained and respect boundaries. I also have baby gates for separation. I do not require crate training but it is extremely helpful if your pet is, so please let me know!

“I'm thrilled I found this family to take care of my chocolate lab. Came to Madison for a wedding looking to find someone to wear out my dog. I sure did find great family. They have nice size property for her to run around, toys , and a bonus kiddie water pool. I picked her up and she fell asleep right away before we made it too the hotel. Thank you. I will use them again whenever I'm back in Madison.”

“My 7-month-old Jazzy Girl whines in excitement when we arrive at Suellen's, and once out of the car, she races up the steps, eager to be with her friends, Suellen's dogs, Mia & Wes. They all play well together.”

“Ben is the best! Always so accommodating, and our pup always comes home nice and tired. Super professional, trustworthy, and great with our Lil guy!”

About: I took care of my family's dog until I moved to college, and I really miss having a dog! Rover is perfect because it will allow me to satisfy my love for dogs while fitting with my schedule and helping you. I am also hoping to get a dog in the near future. I enjoy running and walking so having a dog with energy is not a problem as long as they are leash trained. I’m currently working from home full time. I can be flexible on when walks occur but am fairly busy between 8-5 and need some heads up to plan around meetings. I do not have a fenced in yard but will take your dog on frequent walks or as needed if you’re booking that service. I’m careful to follow instructions on how to get into your house for walks and lock up on the way out.

“My dog Cooper had never stayed with anyone but family in his 5+ years so I did a lot of research before I chose Gilian for doggie daycare and I’m so glad I did! She was great at our initial meeting with Cooper and expertly assessed his personality and needs. I had immediate trust in her dog care knowledge and felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He had a great time at his first day and was totally tired out that night after playing all day. I look forward to many more fun daycare days for Cooper with Gilian!”

“Our 3 dogs love going to Kara’s. They run in the door and barely look back at us. We know they’re having a great time by the photos Kara sends us during their stay. She takes wonderful care of them.”

Sharon S.

“We are not from Madison, but just in town for one evening. Meghan’s communication was excellent from the beginning to the end. We talked about our situation and what we needed for care later in the evening. Meghan provided fantastic care for Moose - playing lots of fetch and helping him with his nervous separation. She took and shared lots of photos and brought him on 3 walks. Her profile was thoughtful and drew us in - we knew she would be the perfect fit. We are thankful for her hospitality and letting us park our car in front of her house while we were in town for a football game. If we are in the Madison area again, we will hire Meghan to hang out with Moose. Thank you! ??”

“Emily took great care of our pup, Toby! He is 10 weeks old and she was capable of managing the extra needs of a young puppy. Emily was very communicative and responsive to messages. We would send our pup to be cared for by her again!”

Tori B.

“Our experience was full 5 stars all the way! Mariana provided updates and pics throughout Molly's stay. We know she had fun as she was exhausted and slept like a baby later than night. We would absolutely use Mariana in the future.”

About: Happy, loving, patient and playful pupsitters who have experience working as kennel manager, dogsitter, and lifelong dog lovers. We love and care for all creatures big and small and happen to love dogs as though they were our own children (and they are.) My partner Jessie and I share all dog duties in our house. Someone is around the house every day of the week, as Jessie often works from home, and our two pups are always home. We strive to never leave our own pups alone for no more than 4 hours so there's always time and room for bathroom breaks. And if the weather is nice we leave the backyard door open for them to roam free (in a fenced area). It is the most ideal place for a dog to have room to move about, activities to entertain, and loving caretakers to help them live their best life. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam, along with healthy wildlife distractions, fun toys, plenty of snacks, and generous room inside the house for everyone to feel cozy, warm or cool, and always nurtured.

“Tracy was so patient with our elderly dog's needs and actions. Happy definitely had a good time and was exhausted each night! Great availability.”
