Doggy Day Care in Dodgeville

“Louie loves going to daycare at Karen’s! He’s so excited to socialize with Bella and run around the play yard. I can always tell he gets plenty of exercise because he snoozes soon after we get home. Karen goes above and beyond with being flexible and is fast with communication. Thank you Karen for taking care of Louie!”

“Benny seems to really enjoy his time with Jiayi, he always perks up with excitement when he realizes where he’s going. Jiayi is very responsive and sends lots of pictures and videos throughout the day.”

“Moo has a wonderful time, arrives and leaves a happy little guy, and is a content and tired pup that night. Moo is quite outgoing, so it is helpful to have the socialization opportunities with the dogs and people. It is comforting to know he is in such a welcoming and caring space!”

“Sage was in good hands with Candida! When we picked him up he seemed to be tired, but in good spirits from a lovely day playing with the other pups in Candida's care. I loved all the photos Candida sent and she has such a lovely home. Would 100% book again! Thank you so much!!”

About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.

About: I’m a school counselor (on hiatus) stay at home mom. I have 29+ years of experience pet sitting (starting when I was 8), with 15 of those years being professional dog handling when I used to help raise and train guide dogs for blind people. I have a friendly dog a that loves to host guests. He adapts his play style to each dog; if they want to run around, he wants to be chased. If they don’t feel like playing, he will take a nap. I do require dogs be crated when unattended in my home for their safety and comfort. When you arrive at a home aa a visitor, you’re shown the guest room. When a dog arrives in a home, they don’t know where they can retreat to unless they have a crate. We can discuss your dogs unique needs. What can I offer? I can board your dog at my home or do home visits. I’m experienced in several other animals. I have a fenced yard. I’ve adopted 4 Rottweilers in the past with unique behavior issues and fostered many other breeds so I’m used to handling all types of dogs. Why me? I’m particularly in-tune to animal needs, especially when their owners are away. I do what I can to keep them comfy and safe. I respect the vulnerability of letting a “stranger” into your home or being responsible to keep your pet safe. Use this promo code to give pet owners new to Rover $20 off their first booking. Your Promo Code: LINDSS45396 I’m home during the day. Your dog becomes part of my “pack”, built around their comfort level. I have one pet dog, two small kids and two teen step daughters. Sometimes I have other boarded dogs but I’ll always confirm with both dogs’ families before I book an overlap. For home visits. My 2 littles tag along with me. Unless I can get my partner to take them after work hours. I put your pets needs as a priority, so if your pet isn’t fond of children, I won’t let my kids bug them. Boarding: I require dogs to be crated when unattended. This is for their safety and comfort. My home has backyard access with a 4-6 foot fence. If you don’t want your dog interacting with mine, I am experienced in keeping dogs separate and safe. I’ve boarded/sat over 100 dogs and I’ve never had any issues. Sitting: I can do the basics such as feeding and potty and meds. I can take your dog for walks or play in your yard and spend some time with them in your home.

About: My Lab pups were immediately potty trained at 8 weeks by my carrying them outside upon awakening. All are kind and gentle loving animals that wear smiles on their faces. Very happy. I am retired and flexible. I live at The House on the Rock and love the outdoors, walking the trails and golf. I am also an early riser. I live in a very pet friendly community with our current Lab, Finnegan and Buster the cat. Finnegan is 2 and loves to play with other dogs as well as Buster.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsey and I’m both a dog and cat lover. I spent years working for Rover and Wag when I was in college and grad school and decided to start offering my services again. I also have experience volunteering with an animal shelter in my home town. Schedule: I work part time - 2-3 hours in the afternoon on weekdays, depending on the day, and four hours Saturday mornings. Other than that, I am available to care for your pet full time. I take pet safety and well-being very seriously. I am open to any special requests for your pet. I live in a house with a fenced-in backyard. There are two dogs and two cats in the house. The house has two levels that can be gated off, so your pet can be separated from the dogs if needed.

“Melissa is The Best!!! She takes great care of my dog and loves him so much. I 100% trust her with my dog all day. I am very lucky to have found her.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since before I could drive. You name it; dogs, cats, rabbits, chinchillas - I’ve watched them. So if you have other animals that need care, the more the merrier! I love dogs and will be as excited to give your dog a walk as they are! I can give references phone numbers upon request. I have helped train dogs and puppies throughout the years. I may even be able to teach your dog a new trick 😉 I have great patience and a calm, easy-going nature. My husband and myself have opened our home with a very large fenced in backyard to welcome your dogs. Between the two of us, your dogs will feel right at home. My husband is also certified in dog massages (yes it’s a thing! 😅) so if you have a pup with joint or mobility issues, he can assist with that as a bonus! If you are welcoming me into your home, I will be sure it looks just as good as when you left it in my care. Please send me a request to chat about your furry family member - I look forward to meeting you! I currently work part-time and my husband also has a flexible schedule to ensure your dogs have the attention they need during their stay with us. We have a comfortable environment with a large fenced in backyard for your dog to play in and have frequent potty breaks. If your dog needs their own space, we have extra rooms in the house that can be their own during their stay.

About: Whether your dog wants to explore my 20-acre driftless property (taking in some of Wisconsin’s most scenic natural landscapes in a safe, secure space) or relax on the couch, I’m confident I can meet their evolving needs. From helping a young pup master basic commands to providing extra comfort for a senior dog, I ensure each pet receives the care and attention they deserve.

In my home, pets are treated like family. With a mix of prairie, grass and woods, my spacious 20-acre property, allows dogs ample room to roam, play, and explore. I provide a comfortable indoor space within my two-story home, with cozy spots for relaxation, plenty of toys, and personal attention. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I strive to maintain the same level of comfort and security by sticking to their regular schedule and routines. I’ll provide updates, photos, and videos so you can feel at ease while you're away. Whether it's daily walks, administering medication, or just being a constant companion, I treat your pet as my own, prioritizing their well-being, safety and happiness at all times.

All of our pups are crate trained, and we have many extra crates around the home in the event we have some crate trained friends over.
