Doggy Day Care in Brittingham Apartments, Madison, WI

About: I grew up on a farm in Texas, where I had at least four dogs and six cats in the house throughout my life. I love pets more than anything! To that extent, I worked in a boarding kennel throughout high school and college before Rover existed. I now have five years of experience with Rover and Wag in multiple cities and states. My experience in boarding kennels and with Rover has allowed me to see and handle a wide range of situations in high-stress environments while having been professionally responsible for the safety and comfort of hundreds of animals. I will always provide compassionate care for your pets, as my goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed during your time away, just as much as your furry companions do with me. As a PhD student, I have the flexibility to read and write at home, and I enjoy alleviating stress with pet care. Additionally, my husband works from home, so the house almost always has a human or two around :) Pet safety is my number one priority. A close second is providing a comfortable and fun environment. For boarding and daycare, the basement is set up for pups to relax and play, and the house is segmented by gates to secure their safety as well as protect our belongings. I provide crates for separation if necessary, particularly around feeding time or depending on the night routine. Additionally, I have a spacious, fenced backyard (our favorite part of the house!), and I will always supervise pups when outside. I pick up poop immediately and keep an eye on whether curious mouths pick up things. For the extra adventurous pups, I also have a 30ft tie-out cable for additional security. Although I have a cat in the house, she stays exclusively in the primary bedroom, and with many gates and doors in place, the likelihood of the pups encountering her is extremely low. For drop-ins, I assure you that I will follow your directions and leave your home in the same condition as when you left it originally. My reviews can attest to that :)

“Elena was my first Rover experience—she really exceeded my expectations! She sent status updates and pictures throughout my pup’s visit, and he really enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. I definitely would love to bring my dog back the next time I need someone to watch him. Thanks so much for making it great for us!”

“Andrew did a great job with our dog. Herky. He has a friendly, caring manner that is perfect for making friends with dogs. He is professional and sent pictures with message to let us know how all was going. We were pleased and will use again.”

“Cynthia and Mark are wonderful. They have watched our dog, Tigger, multiple times. They send updates and photos and Tigger always comes home happy.”

Karen K.

“They did a marvelous job with our fur babies. We loved that they have a fenced in backyard. We usually do not like to leave our boys with sitters who have other dogs present; however, Biscuit was a gem along with the other dogs present our boys were relaxed when we picked them up. They send pictures to show how they are doing. Would definitely use this sitter again!”

Teverlyn A.

“Kind and professional, very easy to work with and quick to respond. I needed somewhere for my girl to go where she could be around other dogs while I was swamped for the day, within 1 hour I had a daycare appointment set up with Brad. He sent me pictures of her smiling and cuddling while she was there. Will definitely be going back.”

Hilary H.

“Our dog Halla is a rescue dog and he is very scared and nervous around new people. Robert has watched him few times and I am grateful that he understands that Halla needs time and space to get to know him. I am sure Halla will be in good hands when our family goes on a vacation this summer.”

Eliisa R.

“Wolfy had such a great day with Mary and her family. He can back very happy, and Mary sent several lovely photos of his time. Mary was also flexible with me when my plans changed after booking, which was so appreciated.”

Jeff K.

“Manuela was great with our dog and I know our dog loved spending time with her! I was nervous to leave our dog with a new person at first, but Manuela met us beforehand and made sure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend Manuela to anyone looking for care for their pet! She treats pets as if they were her own!”

About: I've fostered and taken care of many dogs over the years, working with all kinds of breeds and sizes. I’ve learned how to handle all sorts of behaviors, from playful to more challenging, and I’m always focused on giving each dog the love and care they need to feel safe and happy. I truly love all dogs and understand how hard it can be to find affordable, trustworthy care that gives you peace of mind. My goal is to help pet parents feel completely at ease when they're away from their pets. I’ll send regular photo updates and stay in close communication so you always know your dog is in good hands. 🐶You will only need to pack your dog some food, collar, and leash. ❤️Every dog will get their own food and water bowl, a bed, crate if needed, treats, and a bunch of toys! 💌While my dog does great with any dogs, sleeping and feeding will be separate to make sure both dogs feel safe and calm during these times. 🩷If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to reach out! I think it’s super important for dogs to get plenty of exercise every day- not just for their physical health, but to keep them happy and relaxed, too. I take my dog out every 2 to 4 hours for regular potty breaks and short walks, plus one longer walk where he can really move, and burn off some energy. It makes such a difference in his mood, and I’ll make sure your dog gets the same attention and activity while they’re with me. My apartment complex has a great courtyard where the pups can run and play outside off leash for a while. I prioritize exercise for every dog including my own to make sure all of there needs are met each day. A tired pup is a happy pup!

“Eric, Rachel and Lilo were amazing hosts for my puppy! They were super flexible with drop-off/pick-up times, they sent lots of pics/updates, and Cleo came home exhausted. I am extra grateful that they were able to take Cleo last minute. I will definitely rebook with them!”

“Grace was amazing with my dog Finn. She is an excellent communicator and Finn was very happy staying with her. Will book again with Grace soon!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. I used to be around six dogs at a time, from small to large breeds. I’ve worked to train 2 different dogs in the last 6 months and currently have my own 2 puppies. I’m currently working part time 2 days a week. I don’t schedule dogs those days; I only accept pets on my days off, ensuring that I will have plenty of time to spend with your loved one. I can easily crate, leash up, and walk dogs as needed. I will work on some skills if wanted, ensuring some trust and respectful relationship. I’ll love your pups like they are my own!

“Excellent first experience with Angi! Highly recommend and will be back again.”

“This was our first time with Luke. He was a terrific dog sitter! He took time to find out about Skye's history and special needs, to introduce her carefully to the two other dogs in his care, and to communicate promptly with me. The environment was calm, clean and dog-friendly. I was so happy to see pictures of Skye and thear that she was adjusting well. I hope to have Skye with Luke again in the near future.”

About: Ive always loved caring for dogs, including walking, feeding, bathing, and giving lots of love and attention. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with their pets. I’m comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and I’m happy to follow any special routines or care instructions. Whether it’s energetic puppies or senior dogs needing extra patience, I’m here to help. I work part-time and mainly on weekends, so I have a flexible schedule. I’m available for boarding on weekends and pet care on weekday afternoons and evenings. I have a comfortable house with space. Your pet will feel safe, loved, and right at home. There is yard space around for daily walks.

About: As the daughter of a veterinarian in the Madison area, I am no stranger to taking care of animals. As a young girl, I was the neighborhood pet sitter, with years of experience in the clinic with my mother. As a college student, I seek that same type of fur friendship that I had growing up. I have experience with dogs as young as milk-weening and older pups on their journey of joy. At the end of the day, just an animal lover. :) I am a part time student who spends the majority of my time inside my apartment studying or outside on walks. Your pet would be right there alongside me for all of it. I live in an apartment complex close to many outdoor walking spaces. My unit, as well as personal bedroom locks with security in and around the building at all times. If crating is required, I have plenty of room to accommodate this aswell.
