Doggy Day Care in Hanover

“We needed someone at the last minute for two days of daycare while we were on the road. Maura and her husband were wonderful! Their love for dogs really show through in their personalities. They had other dogs during Gus's stay and he came back to us pooped out from all the fun he had. if we lived in the area, we would definitely have Gus visit Maura again!”

About: As a farm kid, animals (of every variety) have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! Now I get to share that joy with my family, our playful pup, our cat, & even our hedgehog! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from energetic puppies to calm seniors & I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe & feeling the love. And I love sending photo updates so you never miss a moment of their fun! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently work from home & have lots of flexibility. I love having extra paws around to keep me company during the day & taking breaks for walks or cuddle sessions fits naturally into my schedule. Between working from home & chauffeuring my daughter to her various extracurricular activities, I can give your pets plenty of attention & exercise throughout the week! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention & play. Dogs who are social & cat-friendly are welcome to play with my own friendly dog & we have 6 acres of open space for well-trained pups to explore off-leash (always under supervision). The dogs who aren’t quite ready for off-leash will simply get to explore while leashed. Indoors, pets have cozy spots to relax & are never left alone for long. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine of feeding, walks, playtime, & any other specific instructions they need. I make sure pets feel comfortable & cared for while you’re away. I love sending regular photo updates so you always know how they’re doing, too!

“Sarah and her pack did awesome!!! Can't thank her enough for taking in Winnie on such short notice. When I picked up Winnie I was taken back at how much Winnie had bonded with Sarah in such a short period of time. Sarah was aware of Winnie's IBD issues and updated me on how she did. I really appreciated her for that!!!! This family definitely loves dogs!!!”

“Stacy was wonderful! We would definitely love for her to watch our dog again.”

About: I am a retired dog dad who is in need of more happy dog activity on our ranch! I love all dogs and look forward to welcoming your furry family member into our home and care. I have a 3yr old German Short Haired Pointer (Ava) that has yet to meet a dog she doesn't get along with or that can keep up with her:) Your dog will be well cared for and will definitely get their workout, if that's what their up for. I understand all dogs have their own special needs and I am more than willing to try to accommodate! I am retired and spend 99% of my time at home on the ranch. When I am caring for dogs, my time away from home, if absolutely necessary would be limited to less than an hour. My homestead is a private wildlife sanctuary in Stoughton that has trails throughout the property for daily hikes on or off leash depending on your dogs trustworthiness:)

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager I had my childhood dog for 17 years, so I understand all the needs an older dog might have. I currently have a 5 year old Bichon/Llasa Apso mix who loves other dogs. Any dog coming into my care will always be treated like my own and given the love they deserve. I currently work from home and am a single mom, so day time care is pretty easy to fit into my day. My best days for availability are Wednesday and Thursday. I will also have a smattering of availability on the weekends I have a big fenced in yard and a 5 year old dog named Gus, who will love spending time with your dogs. There are lots of great walking paths around my neighborhood to keep your pet happy and acurve. All pets are allowed on the furniture or in bed at night but I do have crates if that is preferred.

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life. I’ve cared for animals ranging from mice to horses. I have worked in vet clinics and have done a lot of research on my own time. They are my passion. I currently have the most experience in dogs. I’m actively an apprentice with a local dog trainer to be a positive reinforcement force free trainer. I am also studying canine behavior. I have experience in doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. I have administered medications ranging from oral medicine to injections (subq and intermuscular). Like I said before, I love em like my own! I am home all day most days. I do have two dogs of my own so they are always outside playing. Pet care is what I do when I wake up to when I go to bed. I’m available most days for play dates, walks, boarding, grooming, and more! I have a large fenced in yard. I also have so so many dog toys. I have two dogs as well so your baby can make friends! I can offer crates when we leave or at night if you prefer! I have plenty of house for them to be in as well, also plenty of people to love on them! Your baby will never be alone!

“Brandi was WONDERFUL. She was so welcoming and accommodating despite us intruding on a holiday weekend, and so welcoming of our Pup. Throughout our days of doggy daycare, we received updates and pictures and video of our Piper enjoying her stay and new friends, and at the end of each day, we received a very happy (and very ready-to-go-home-and-nap) dog. We used her back-to-back for two days, and Piper recognized she was going got another visit on Day 2 when we turned down Brandi's road, and immediately started crying excitedly in anticipation, all but pulling me out of the car when we opened the door! It's a shame we're not closer to Janesville for regular use of booking, but if we're ever needing to go through the area en route to our destinations, Brandi will be our first choice for daycare or boarding.”

About: Hi I’m Alyssa and I love animals! I grew up with 2 dogs and have been around cats on several occasions. I will make sure your pets get plenty of attention, care, and love they need while you are away. My friends and family have relied on me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets for over 12 years. I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages and breeds. I also have experience giving dogs oral medications when needed. I work from home full-time so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs. I can also take your pet for daily walks and play with him/her throughout the day! I do not have any other pets in my home. I also have a fenced in backyard where I will be supervising and playing with your dog.

“Chanse was top tier and made my puppy’s stay the best it could be! She worked with him on his house breaking, playing with her children, helping him fall asleep when anxious, and helping when he had an upset tummy by feeding him chicken and rice. This was my first time boarding my puppy and I have to say, working with Chanse was well worth the 45 minute drive out to Janesville. Thank you so much Chanse, I will definitely be booking again with you on my next trip!”

About: I have always had a dog or multiple dogs in my life. I treat them like family. My friends come to me when they need their dogs watched! I am currently unemployed. I had experience working with animals at Petco and I had a previous job working with puppies from age 8weeks up and LOVED it! I would like to do it again. I have two chihuahuas that are allowed to have free roam of the house and yard. They know their boundaries and do not get leashed in the yard. They are allowed on anything but the counters and table! Sleep with me every night and go on walks. I have one with allergies to grass and he gets bathed regularly.

“So flexible and helpful with my pup! I trust her 100% and know when I pick my dog up she will be tired from playing outside, with toys or with other dogs! I highly recommend Ashlee and will continue to use her for all of our dog sitting needs!”

About: I grew up on a horse farm. I always had dogs for most of my life . Except when I lived in an apartment for a short time where I could not have one. My sister and I use to have fake dog shows as kids. It was so much fun. Now I have 2 loveable doggies of my own that i adopted . They love our fenced in backyard and my daughter and I walk them every day as a team.When Taylor was a toddler we would go out and visit grandma and aunt / sister and give chino her dog lots of love and walks. Also in the last 5 years my late moms dog rosie who was also adopted. Dogs are great.

About: I am the second oldest of 8 kids and I have taken care of pets and kids ever since I was little. I love cats and dogs and get along well with many breeds but prefer small dogs because of strength and we have a huge yard but it’s not fenced in. I am currently available 24/7 and just have small increments of time I would be gone for a doctors appointment occasionally so I can take the dog out often. We keep them well fed and hydrated and cuddle for cats and dog and for the dog we also let him out on the long chain or my son takes him from a walk because he is a larger breed.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my hands-on experience and dedication. I've fed cats and dogs, walked them, and stayed overnight for extended periods. I've also trained puppies and my own dog, ensuring a well-rounded approach to pet care. Pet owners have relied on me for consistent care, knowing I’m always there when needed. My commitment to providing personalized and compassionate attention makes me a trustworthy choice for any pet sitting job. I am currently a technical college student who only goes to school twice a week while the rest is online, so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available to care for your dog Thursday-Sunday most weeks and will give them all the time they need! I like to know the pets routine/schedule and understand any behavior they may have. I would love to know the intentions of me watching your beloved doggy and what you need from me personally to make you and your dog as comfortable as possible.

About: My livelihood is animals. I love my pets as much as my children and will care for yours as if they were my own! From a young age, I bonded with animals. My grandparents (in their 67 years of marriage) always had 2 dogs and 2 cats, therefore I helped care for so many of them for decades. I learned a lot about pet care from a very young age. My grandparents had a dog with a seizure disorder and as a young teen I was taught how to care for the dog. One of my saddest moments was having to say goodbye to their Doberman when I was 13. I had him in my life since age 5. They also had a Great Dane. I have 5 of my own dogs. (Chihuahua, Frenchie-Boston, Mini-Aussie, and a Pug.) Then the other week, a Lab was at a high kill shelter and was in an emergency situation so we agreed to Foster him. Well, we fell in love, named him Dax. He’s a 1 year old Ruby Labrador. I also have a cat and we have reptiles. Although I do prefer to come to your home, I have taken dogs into my home for a Holiday/long weekend or when a repeat client needs to keep their dog in my home. We have a good sized fenced in backyard and a 5 bedroom home with a downstairs “hang-out” area where we spend time with all the animals. I have done “doggy day care” in my home as well, but I mainly house-sit while I care for your pet(s); I will change cat litter, do light house cleaning, water plants, bring garbage in or out, check mail, etc. I do drop ins and will walk or jog your dogs (or service any of your pets) for any kind of pet care that you need. I have many years of experience with all kinds of animals including special need pets and exotic ones. We took care of a snake in our home for a friend for 4 months. Also, a Hedgehog. I do have a pet sitting website and many references. My aunt joked I am the “dog whisperer” and Dr. Doolittle as I always have them following me around :) I do consider my Business Cindy’s Canines & Critters “family-operated.” My husband is a busy VA Physician, working 4 days a week, but off for 3 (he helps me out) and besides caring for my own pets, this is what I do full-time. My 2 children (10 and 16) are in school, and they do help me in the summer and on weekends, (they are also avid animal lovers) and I am available most Holidays. My son Sam is good at helping me walk dogs if need be. He also picks up dog poop, mows lawns, shovels snow, and cleans yards. If I’ve been booked, he’s stayed in homes caring for cats and dogs for my repeat clients. I am readily available. I take last minute jobs typically as well. Typically I get booked faster May-August. September and October are busy, and November through April slow down. I offer dog walks, $15 for 15 min or $22 for 30 min. I offer a senior discount to those 62 and older. I offer drop in visits as you desire for $33 for an hour to spend time with your pets (which could include a walk and food, water, play time, and clean up). If I have to travel more than 20 minutes from my home for drop-ins, I charge $40 for the hour to make up for gas and extra travel time. If you are having financial trouble and I’m not too booked, I may be able to work with you. I may charge a bit more than some other part-time pet sitters, however I am full time, pour my heart into this, and I have decades of experience. I will give you Top-notch care. My motto is to go over and above and leave the home better than when I arrived. If you are gone more than 1 day and your preference is for me not to house-sit, I can come 3 to 4 times a day and we can work out a rate that is daily/weekend or weekly instead of the drop in visit charge. Many of my clients don’t need me to stay overnight especially when they have cats. I have worked with “hard to handle” dogs and big dogs and am not fond of raising my voice at an animal and definitely no spanking. I prefer redirecting and distraction or a “time out” in kennel or other area. I have also worked with families who use shock collars and I carried around a remote. That is the most I will agree to do where ‘discipline’ is concerned. I’ve done a bit of dog training with pups, but definitely don’t claim to be “professional” trainer, but I do have a very good intuition knowing how to work with a dog. I can also bathe or handle any sized dog. For example, I walk 2 dogs during week days, one is a big Alaskan Malamute, and I can easily walk both big dogs at once. Although we live in a way where our pets are our family and can “run the house” and go on beds-furniture etc. and our cat and dogs sleep with us, I respect what you want in your home. I am more than used to my clients having cameras in their homes, I just ask at the time of hiring to be told and especially if there is one in a bedroom I will be sleeping in. We have Blink cameras in our home as well and if I need to leave my home for an hour or two and have your dog for an extended stay, I watch my camera downstairs to ensure all is well. I’ve worked with puppies who whine at night and need extra care/potty training and also dogs with separation anxiety issues and feel I’ve learned good tricks over the years. For house-sitting with your pet(s) I can bring my own blankets, pillow, and food. I can sleep on a couch or in a guest room or wherever you want to put me. The only thing I ask for is the Veterinary information and WiFi-password. I know I have many pictures in my album… I’ve cared for so many pets I wanted to brag on all of them. I love each and every one of them!! Since I do this full-time, I do have week day dog walks and drop ins, so if I am staying in your home overnight, I cannot be there 24-7 but can be there much of the time. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends are less busy. My dogs get along with cats and all dogs, however if you are wanting to board your pet in my home, I do a trial visit for an afternoon to ensure your pet gets along with mine. If you are kennel training, I have a huge kennel downstairs. Also, 3 smaller ones. I’ve also had clients dogs sleeping with me in bed :) I go to bed around 11 and am up at 6 or 6:30 so can let them out potty late and early. My husband and 2 children also help out.

“Kim was super sweet & took great care of my puppy! Would highly reccomend her. She took pictures and kept me updated throughout the day while I was at work!?”

About: Thanks for stopping by! I am offering full day dog day camp which includes pick up and drop off from your home located in Evansville, WI or Brooklyn, WI. My name is makenzie, I am employed a registered nurse but animals will always have my heart. I’ve grown up on a a farm my whole life and now have a small hobby farm of my own with my husband and kids. I love spending my time with animals, especially my two Great Danes at home! I have personal experience caring for my own pets and house sitting for friends and family while away. I am dog (and human :) ) CPR certified and insured. Daily, I care for my pups at home and livestock on our farm. Our doggies really love when they get to join us on our farm, which gave me the interest in offering doggy daycare at our farm so other pups can enjoy it too! Lots of smells and experiences to enjoy on a farm! I have a fenced in indoor and outdoor play area for my dogs. I leash all dogs while not in designated dog areas. Designated potty breaks, supervised play time with adequate rest as well.

“Jax is a gem! We were dog-less for a year before recently diving back in to canine companionship with a teething, potty-training-in-progress puppy (ie, no small feat of dog-watching). We solicited recommendations from friends and also got back on Rover to see if we could find anyone near us, and I was immediately impressed by Jax's experience and so happy to see we live in the same neighborhood. After a positive meet-and-greet, it was clear Jax checks all the boxes for the perfect pet-sitter: clear, consistent, professional communication in scheduling; highly experienced; beyond competent with expertise in training and all elements of dog care; so pleasant to work with; fairly priced. Our pup had so much fun spending time with Jax and Jax's pack, and we feel that Jax truly goes above and beyond, supplying photos and updates throughout the day. Will definitely be booking with this exceptional, highly skilled caretaker in the future, and would recommend Jax's services to anyone!”
