Doggy Day Care in Heritage Heights, Milwaukee, WI

About: Hello and welcome! We take care of/have taken care of all different kinds of pets. We have our own two dogs, as well as six cats. We have experience with multiple different breeds and types of animals, as well as being able to handle many at a time. (We have had up to 9 dogs in my care at one time!) I know how hard it is to leave your pet behind, which is why I will update you with pictures as much as you would like. I have a finished basement if your loved one would prefer to be separated, and also have many open rooms for them to choose from for slumber. The cats have a gated off cat room, only accessible to humans and kitties. The crew and I can't wait to meet you! (Or if you prefer the whole crew won't meet you :)). Dani is currently home full time. At this time Dani is home for almost the entire day, with occasional errands. You can request our schedule for any amount of time to confirm your loved one will be cared for properly and on time. We deep clean all items used after a pet stays, so that they are ready for the next pet to stay. We have extra blankets, beds, crates, bowls, and more. We keep our fishtanks neat and clean, as well as my home. My dogs are extremely friendly even with cats. My backyard is fenced in with access through a back door. When it's nice out we play outside with the dogs where they have access to a kiddie pool to play in the water. I have started to add more outdoor play equipment/toys.

“Perseus and Dereck were great hosts to Spider. They took him in last minute. They provided photos during his short stay. I will definitely have them watch our dogs again. They deserve 10 stars!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and hangout with their pets... My work from home schedule allows for flexibility and fun while sitting. I’m currently working from home so I have a flexible schedule starting after 10am and up until 3pm M, W AND Friday. Weekends are subject to change. I live in an apartment complex but there’s plenty of room for fun. I’m okay with dog parks and long walks in the community. Can’t wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I started off taking care of small animals, but then became trained as a kennel attendant and enrichment specialist in my growing career in animal care. I wanted to offer more to my local community with the current skills I have, along with learn and grow with every pet and parent! I’m aware of how dogs communicate with each other with body language and have been trained to break apart a fight, even before a fight could start.

About: I've had dogs most of my life. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is 3 years old and loves a friend. I have an 11 year old daughter that will also provide lots of love. Your dog won't just be boarded, they'll become a part of the family. No kennels necessary, they can sleep with me! I'm a stay at home mom. I love taking my dog out for walks around my quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. I'm home almost all the time. I'd love another doggy friend to visit us! I have tie outs for the dogs when they'd like fresh air. We go on walks as needed....and we can walk more if your dog loves it like mine does!

“Will and Sarah were great with Maple on her first doggy day care visit! Felt confident to leave her for the day and they were super flexible to accommodate my last minute work meetings. Will be going back for overnight soon.”

“Great cuddles and love given to my dog! Would highly recommend”

“I could not recommend Mike and his wife Heather more! My dog has been consistently going going there for a year and as a young doctor working up to 28 hours in a row, I would not be able to have managed without them! They are very flexible and truly do love working with dogs. Recently, my dog got very mambas colitis and needed to go to the vet twice. Initially I wasn’t able to take too much time off but thankfully Mike was there. He offered to even cook Whiskey boiled chicken and rice and even offered to come to the vet with us the second time because he was genuinely concerned as well. I have a very anxious dog, but have been able to leave him while on vacation and not worry because I was getting constant updates- both good and bad about how he was doing, how much he was barking, how he was pooping, etc. it helped me enjoy my vacation more. I would highly recommend them for anyone who has a dog that is anxious and needs more one on one attention or with a chaotic schedule like myself.”

Bianca M.

“Today is day 2 at Nicholas's home. Lucy was very excited to arrive and was warmly greeted by Nick. Lucy has tons of energy and I am thankful she stays here as it allows her to run in the backyard and play with Nick's young dog. At the meet and greet a few weeks ago, I was impressed on his observations and knowledge about dog behavior and training. I will continue to use Nicholas's day care.”

“Janice has a beautiful heart and home. My Mira fell in love with her right away, going in for pets and belly rubs enthusiastically…lol… Janice took Mira on a couple of walks and sent me a great pic of her relaxing after, which I so appreciated. Will definitely ask Janice if she can spend time with Mira again in the future.”

Kim H.

“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”

Angela S.

“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: Dogs and cats have always been a big part of my life, and I know how much joy and comfort they bring. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets, whether that means daily walks, playful activities, or snuggles on the couch. I’m flexible and attentive, making sure your furry friends feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m 22 years old and recently graduated from UWM with a Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice. I currently work part-time at a coffee shop and have a flexible schedule, making it easy for me to accommodate pet care needs When I’m caring for your fur baby, I’ll send as many pictures as you’d like, there’s no such thing as too many! I know I’d want updates on my own pets, so I’m happy to keep you connected while you’re away. I follow all instructions carefully to make sure your pets are well cared for!

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.

About: About Me There’s truly nothing I love more than being around dogs—I absolutely melt for these furry friends! I’m all about cuddles, love, and full-on affection. I’m intense in the best way when it comes to giving dogs the attention they deserve. With me, your dog will be treated like family—loved, cared for, and cherished every moment we’re together. My Care Philosophy Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I always ensure they’re properly fed, get enough rest after each meal, and enjoy just the right amount of exercise—never mixing meals and playtime to avoid any tummy troubles. I follow a structured schedule tailored to each dog’s needs, because I believe dogs thrive with routine. This way, it’s easy to keep track of their health, mood, and happiness. Why You Can Trust Me Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it’s my full-time job and my biggest passion. That means your dog will never be left without attention; I check in with them often and make sure they're doing great throughout the day. I welcome all kinds of dogs, no matter the size, breed, or age. I'm also the proud parent of a 5-year-old Great Dane named Astor. Managing such a large and spirited companion has taught me a lot—it’s not for the faint-hearted! But that’s why I consider myself truly experienced and confident in handling all types of dogs with love, patience, and skill. Boarding & Walk Policy If you're considering boarding with me, please note that I only host one dog per night in addition to my own—Astor—so your pup will get plenty of attention and space. The same goes for walks: I keep it personal and safe by walking just one guest dog at a time alongside Astor. This way, I can give each dog the focused care and calm environment they deserve. Extra Love & Comfort You'll get plenty of photos and updates while your dog is with me—I know how comforting it is to see your pup happy and relaxed. And yes, dogs are absolutely allowed on the furniture! Whether it’s snuggling on the couch or napping by my side, your dog will feel completely at home. Pet care is my daily routine—this is my full-time job and my biggest passion. My days are fully centered around the pets I care for, which means they get lots of attention, love, and consistency throughout the day. I plan my schedule based on their needs, making sure there's time for feeding, rest, play, walks, and cuddles. Because this is what I do every day, I'm always available to check in on them, stick to their routines, and adjust to anything special they might need. Your pet won’t just be part of my routine—they’ll be the heart of it. I live in apartment so there is no way for doggy’s to be escape, I always keep the door closed. Also if we go for a walk your dog will be always with leash.

“Samantha was awesome! Would definitely use again”

“Monique was great! She was very straightforward about the process and how she has dogs in her home, which I appreciate greatly! Tatum has separation anxiety and finding an option that he feels comfortable and safe is really important! She communicated during the day on how he was doing and even got a report card and treats for his first day! This was amazing and I will be working with Monique again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of my cousin’s dog for years. I raised my brother’s dog from when he was a puppy. I have 3 of my own dogs who I have raised since puppyhood. Patience is key. Everyone deserves to be happy and live fulfilling lives! As a software engineer, I’m a remote worker with ample free time between meetings. I have the flexibility to play, walk, and take out pets during the work day. I already do this with my family’s dogs. Sometimes I get bored and go work at my brother’s and cousin’s house just so I can be with the dogs. They’re usually home alone during the workday too, so I know they enjoy my company as much as I enjoy theirs. Also, I’m an active person. Thus, any opportunity to be more active is great! Such as walking and playing. First, I’d read any instructions or special care left over by the client. I’d introduce myself to the pets and fulfill any of their immediate needs (food, water, potty breaks). I’d get the pets more comfortable with my presence before relaxing, whether that be logging into my remote job or watching Netflix. Of course, the pet has the freedom to be in the room with me. I’ll do my best to make sure all pets are comfortable and happy. They deserve to be.
