“Maria provided an early update, as this was Winston’s first time visit with her. A fenced in yard and observing the dogs playing together was noted by me. She asked questions regarding Winston’s care. Communication was good as far as what happened during his day (feeding, etc) and Winston’s came home happy and tired.”

About: 🐾 Buddy’s Boarding — Where Pets Feel at Home Hi! We're Percy and Darik — two experienced pet lovers offering premium dog boarding from our home in Brown Deer. One of us is home full-time, giving us the flexibility to provide reliable, personalized care for every pup we host. 🐶 Why pet parents love Buddy’s Boarding: • Spacious yard with a partially fenced area for play and potty breaks • Flexible pick-up/drop-off times with clear communication • Convenient location — just 10 minutes from I-43 and Hwy 41 • Quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and green space • Two attentive, dog-experienced sitters under one roof • Access to a dog-friendly pool (summer months only, supervised, optional) ✨ Our Story Buddy’s Boarding is named after the dog that started it all. At 10 years old, I found Buddy as a stray near my dad’s business and begged my mom to let us keep him. She said yes — and from that moment on, my bond with animals was sealed. That connection still fuels the love and care we give every dog who stays with us. Whether your pup is active and playful or chill and cuddly, we tailor each stay to their needs. Let us know your dog’s routine and preferences — we’re happy to accommodate. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home. 🐾 👉 Send us a request to get started — we’d love to meet your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. My partner Darik works from home as a graphic designer, so there’s always someone present to supervise and care for the dogs. I work part-time as a dog handler in the mornings, which means I bring both experience and structure to our day. Between the two of us, we’re able to give pets plenty of attention, play, and potty breaks throughout the day — with flexibility for early drop-offs, midday walks, and evening wind-downs. It’s a rhythm that’s built around making dogs feel safe, happy, and at home. Safety We prioritize safety by pet-proofing our home, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and supervising pets at all times. Whether it’s backyard play or a leashed walk, we ensure dogs are always in secure, pet-friendly environments. We also tailor safety measures to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Trust Building trust with both pets and their people is at the heart of what we do. We take time to understand each dog’s routine and preferences, and we maintain regular communication with pet parents — sharing updates and photos so they always feel connected and confident in our care. Environment Our home is clean, cozy, and designed with dogs in mind — with plenty of space to move, comfy spots to rest, and loving attention throughout the day. We create a calm, positive environment and adjust our approach to meet each dog where they’re at. If we’re caring for pets in their home, we follow their routine closely to ensure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their own space.


“Just fantastic dog sitters - Michael to accept at a short notice due to a family emergency and his wife Heather !!! I definitely recommend them now and always!! :) :) they made Lido feel at home”


About: I've had dogs since I was a kid, for as long as I can remember. I've had dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. My last dog was trained so well that friends and neighbors decided to get a dog for themselves after meeting him. Currently I have a 3 year old dog at home, along with my wife and 2 teenagers. We all love dogs because of the mutual unconditional love. I love taking dogs on walks, playing fetch with them in our small backyard and going to the dog park is a favorite activity for the whole family. Our dog is happiest when playing with other dogs and then getting so tired she can poop out on our couch while cuddling one of us. We have a small backyard but live in a very dog friendly neighborhood with sidewalks so when playing in the backyard isn't exercise enough long walks are great. I am familiar with giving dogs different medications and dealing with different dog personalities. I am an educator, so I am home for the summer, so our routine is flexible. I typically start the day with a morning walk by 7:00 am and then see where the day takes us. We take our last potty break around 10:00 pm before heading to bed. I have a fenced in backyard. I allow pets on our furniture. I do not have a crate, but I am comfortable crating dogs if that is what they are accustomed to. I have a dog and a cat at home. The cat mostly avoids dogs. I love dogs and they will be safe, loved, and taken good care of. There is usually always somebody at home to watch the pets, and we have a flexible schedule to accommodate to that.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet owner myself, I deeply understand the joy and unwavering commitment your furry, scaly, or feathered family member brings to your life. My family and I have always opened our hearts and home to animals, including the many we've fostered over the years. I'm truly excited to offer the same level of loving, personalized care for your cherished companion. When you entrust your pet to me, they'll receive more than just basic care; they'll get endless affection, playtime, and a comforting routine in a safe, welcoming environment. You can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved friend is not just cared for, but genuinely adored. My days as a stay-at-home mom are wonderfully flexible, leaving plenty of room to shower pets with all the love and attention they could ever need! I'm pretty much on standby for cuddles and care. Whether it's playtime in the yard, cozy cuddle sessions, or adventures on a walk, I'm dedicated to providing a loving and engaging environment. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, consistent care, and all the affection they could wish for, ensuring either their "stay-cation" or "friendly visit" is a joyful experience.

“Crystal is excellent. She took great care of our pup, Rufus. She is extremely responsive and flexible. She sent us several photos, which I loved receiving. I am a very over protective dog mom and I trust her with my fur baby. Looking forward to having her sit Rufus whenever we have a need for a sitter.”

Perseus M.
Star Sitter

“When I needed someone to care for my two dachshunds, two cats, and even my turtle while I was out of town for a work trip, Perseus stepped up without hesitation. I was initially nervous about leaving my pets, but knowing Perseus would be watching my babies put my mind at ease. He took the time to understand each animal’s unique needs—the dachshunds' love for belly rubs and short walks, the cats' different personalities and feeding schedules, and even how to properly care for my turtle’s tank. Not only was everything spotless when I returned, but my pets seemed calm and happy, which is the ultimate testament to how well they were cared for. Perseus has a natural connection with animals and goes above and beyond to ensure their comfort and safety. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him again and would wholeheartedly recommend him to any pet parent looking for someone dependable, kind, knowledgeable, and attentive.”

“Dawn is an excellent and conscientious pet owner, caregiver, professional and friend. Be it in a work or personal setting, Dawn takes it upon herself to go above and beyond when she sees room to provide a fantastic experience, to make something better, or to help someone out. She is very detail oriented and talks through all of the logistics and angles to ensure a smooth experience for all involved. I have known Dawn for many years and worked with her professionally before we became friends. She even volunteered to check in on my 17 year old daughter while I was on vacation, who of course, ended up getting sick while I was away! Dawn was so thoughtful and attentive to her in our absence- checking in regularly, bringing her food and other items to make her more comfortable while we were gone. Dawn takes her roles and responsibilities very seriously- I would without a doubt trust her to care for and love with my pets!”

“Baobi is a extremely hard worker and good with my families pets. Cookie our shy female rescue kitty was really afraid of people, but she would sit with Baobi if allowed hours on end. I am sure that was because she felt safe in her calm presence. All of our other pets did great with her as well.”
