Doggy Day Care in Hawthorne, Madison, WI

“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”

“Madison took amazing care of my two Yorkies, Carnegie and Paisley! She was attentive to their unique personalities, giving Paisley plenty of playtime and keeping Carnegie comfortable. I appreciated the updates and felt completely at ease. Highly recommend!”

“Megan was absolutely wonderful! Very friendly and I loved the updates. Lazlo was very Happy and had a Fun day 🐕‍🦺😃 Will Definitely be a repeat client!!”

“Bob was able to accommodate a last minute request to keep Hank for the day. It worked out great! I'm able to relaxing knowing Hank is at "summer camp" with Bob instead of home alone for 10+ hours. I really appreciate that he asks questions at drop off (regarding potty, meals, etc.) and sends pictures and updates throughout the day. Thanks Bob!”

“Daisy had the best time! Drop off and pick up were a breeze. The pictures throughout the day were very cute and reassuring that Daisy was well taken care of. I will be bringing Daisy back and would definitely recommend them for any of your pet care needs.”

“We were lucky to have Cynthia as our dog sitter. Cynthia and her family were able to watch our dog Gary on short notice, which made us really happy. Right from the beginning, Cynthia communicated with us well and was very friendly and understanding. We felt comfortable leaving Gary with Cynthia. She sent regular updates with photos and wrote a lovely Rover card at the end, filled with pictures and lots of details. It was so thoughtful and sweet. We would definitely recommend her to others without hesitation. Cynthia is professional, kind, and genuinely loves dogs. Thank you for taking such great care of Gary and being an outstanding dog sitter!”

“Toffee and truffle had a wonderful time at Lorelai and Kayla’s place. They sent lots of pictures and were very accommodating with regards to drop off and pick up times.”

“Briana is such a kind and empathetic individual! Although my doggy day care was last minute, I felt reassured that Semi was in good hands. Truly someone you can trust with your pups!”

“Bogey had such a great time at Tony's. His dog, Yoshi, gets along great with Bogey. He came home very tired, but very happy! Thanks Tony. Looking forward to our next stay”

“Kara is wonderful! She has been so flexible in arranging Birdie’s care and very attentive to Birdie’s needs. This is Birdie’s first daycare experience and it went really well thanks for Kara.”

“Good experience, Yoki is very conscientious and responsible, the yard is big enough for the dogs to have fun.”

“Sarah is such a welcoming, warm, easy going, and responsible dog sitter. My puppy, Tilly, and her dog, Millie, and the other dog, Sam, she was sitting were so clearly having a blast all day, each day that I left Tilly with Sarah. Tilly was even digging her heels in when it was time to leave after a few days with Sarah and Millie! Couldn't ask for a more pure and wholehearted endorsement than that! Thank you Sarah!”

“Wing took very good care of my pup!”

About: Hi, my name is Geissy (“jay-cee”) and I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up, they were always a part of my life, teaching me about unconditional love and the joy they bring to the human experience. Caring for them feels like second nature to me—it’s a passion. I’m a neuroscientist, psychologist, and meditation teacher originally from Brazil, now living in Madison with my amazing husband who is from Wisconsin. Back home, I come from a family with two wonderful dogs who I miss dearly. Before them I was lucky to take care of other three different dogs, from young to old dogs, and watched my friends pets as they needed. We use to joke that I make dogs and cats meditate because they just sit around me when I am doing my practice 😄 🧘🏽‍♀️. More recently, I had the joy of walking our senior dog every day until her passing a few months ago. She was a sweet, grumpy 14 year-old lady who loved to smell all the things in the neighborhood. Her absence has left me with so much love to share, and now I’m eager to bring that same care to your furry friend. With my flexible schedule, I can dedicate the time, attention, and care your pet deserves. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a slow stroll, or simply giving them the affection they need, I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own. And yes—I’m ready for those chilly Wisconsin winters! I am also a runner, so I love to stay outside checking new parks to do my exercises. Recently I ran the madison half marathon and it was so much fun! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and help them stay happy, healthy, and loved! I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate quality time to your dog. Between my client sessions and prioritizing my own self-care, I’m delighted to spend time with your furry friend—whether it’s taking them on a walk or giving them loving attention at home. I am available for short walks, long walks, I can watch your dog at your place and I am also happy to have your dog at my place :) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment according to their needs and make sure that they are happy and stress-free.

“Germaine watched our pup with short notice and was great! He loved hanging out with her dog and everything went smoothly!”

“Brianna's home is very easy for drop offs. She is very communicative and it was so easy to get my dog there and pick her up because of how quickly she responds to her texts. She lives in a great dog walking area. 10 out of 10, I will definitely be using her services again. For the location in Madison, you just can't beat it. I felt really secure that she handled my dog safely throughout the day.”

“AJ (Julie) was so great!! My Rambo and her Duncan played all day each day of his 4 days in her care & AJ sent me the funniest, cutest photos of the two of them. She even takes them to the park! Rambo comes home absolutely exhausted each day which is pretty fantastic!”

“Ella was really sweet for helping me find a sitter last minute. Her communication before, during, and after was impeccable! It made me feel assured that Remy was in good hands while in her care. I highly recommend!”

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Mace. We haven’t had a night out since we got him. So we were able to enjoy a soccer game without worry. Thank you Ben!!”
