Dog Boarding Cooksville

About: Friendly, warm, and welcoming. I have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to roam in my home plus a fenced in backyard. I've had dogs in the home since I was child and have been caring full-time for my dog for 7 years. I have previous experience with in-home boarding for some of my co-workers and have cared for dogs with nervous bladders. I currently work full time, but am always home in the evenings for plenty of playtime and walks. I can be flexible with pick up and drop off times with at least a day's notice to work with your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of space to roam inside my home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture or in bed if they need some extra cuddle time. I can crate your dogs if needed during the day and my own pup is crate trained for while I'm away.

“Marie was fabulous with my dog. She is kind, gave her lots of attention, and took her for a long walk in the country. She is easy to communicate with.”

“Ryan and his family looked after our 3 girls for a couple of nights. They took excellent care of them. Ryan sent some photos of the girls during the stay. It made it easier to leave them in a caring home. Already booked with them again for later in the year. Thank you!!”

“Julia was easy to communicate with and kept me updated about my dog the entire trip. I highly recommend her fur-baby sitting services.”

Keely R.

“Kaycee and Robert are the best! They took such good care of our little dog, who has never spent time away from us. They took him on walks, played with him, and kept him warm and safe. Our dog loved Tank (their dog) and the kids. He had a blast with this lovely family. They are kind and warm people who took excellent care of our dog. It is evident that they are expert dog owners who have fostered and trained many dogs. We will definitely book them next time we leave town. We highly recommend them!”

“My dog Lola seem to have an amazing time. All the dogs they were caring for were very friendly with a lot of room to run. It was nerve-racking, leaving my dog however, my dog seem to have the time of her life lol. I will rebook with them whenever I need dog care and would recommend anyone doing so as well”

Ben S.

“My boy had the BEST time with Manjusha & Midhun! They went above and beyond caring for him - several photo/video updates, walks, treats, and cuddles. They made sure he was comfortable, loved, and spoiled as much as possible during his stay and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Zero complaints and highly, highly recommend! ❤️🥰”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats through personal pet ownership, animal shelter volunteering, fostering, and pet sitting for friends and family. During my undergraduate years, I spent several years volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals with a wide range of ages, personalities, and care needs. I've cared for young puppies, kittens, adult cats, senior dogs, and older rescues who were still learning potty-training routines. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable working with shy, nervous, and anxious animals, as well as dogs who need extra patience on walks or tend to pull on the leash. I also have experience with basic puppy training, reinforcing commands, managing potty-training accidents, and caring for multiple pets at once. I'm experienced with administering both oral and injectable medications, and I understand the importance of carefully following each pet's specific care instructions. I grew up caring for my family's pug, who lived to be 15 years old, and I currently have a sweet 4 year old rescue dog. I've also fostered and cared for multiple dogs and cats in my home, so I'm familiar with managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. One of the biggest things fostering has taught me is that every animal is different. Some pets want to play all day, while others prefer quiet company or need a little extra time to warm up. I love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and affection that works best for them! I'm currently a graduate student at UW-Madison, and one of the best parts of my schedule is that my lab allows me very flexible hours! This gives me plenty of freedom throughout the week to work around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Since I'm not tied to a traditional 9 to 5 schedule, I can make time for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight house sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitten wants some extra playtime, or your furry friend just needs someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I also have a 4 year old rescue dog of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with animals are already part of my everyday routine. I'm available most days and am happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially those who are younger, older, or a little anxious, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. And of course, I'll always make time for plenty of cuddles, playtime, and pictures of your little fur babies! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Through my experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets, energetic puppies, senior animals, and pets who may need a little extra attention or reassurance. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering oral and injectable medications and understand the importance of following the instructions provided for each pet. I live alone with my sweet 4 year old rescue dog, who gets along very well with other animals. I've also cared for multiple cats and dogs in my home before, so I understand the importance of paying attention to each pet's personality, comfort level, and boundaries. I'm mindful of keeping pets secure during walks, being attentive to their behavior, and making sure they feel comfortable in their surroundings. I also treat every client's home with care and respect. Communication is really important to me, so I'm always happy to send regular photos and updates during visits or overnight stays. I want you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you're away!

“Cleda was awesome! She took care of our dog as well as we would have ourselves. Frequent updates, communication, and feedback; and a really great environment are just some of the great points.”

Ares A.

“Christina and Jeremy were awesome and I'd recommend them to anyone that is looking for care for their dog. They took care of our family dog for 2 weeks while we were out of the country and were very flexible when we had travel issues trying to return. They would be my first choice if we are need of a sitter in the future.”
