Doggy Day Care in Hortonville

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom offering full-time, one-on-one care for your dog in a calm and loving home environment. Because I’m home all day, your pup will never be left alone or feel lonely. I provide constant supervision, attention, and affection—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, structured routines, or just a cozy spot to relax. I only board one family’s dog at a time, so your pet will receive truly individualized care in a peaceful, low-stress environment. No overcrowding, no chaos—just personalized attention tailored to your dog’s personality and needs. We recently said goodbye to our sweet dog, who lived almost 18 wonderful years. While we aren’t ready to welcome another furry family member yet, we have so much love to give, and caring for other dogs feels like the perfect way to honor him while helping families feel confident their pets are safe, happy, and cherished. I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand how much they mean to a family. I also hold a degree in Psychology from Florida State University, which gives me insight into behavior, patience, and emotional awareness—qualities I bring to every dog I care for. I am home full-time as a stay-at-home mom, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I am available for boarding and daycare most weekdays and weekends with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. Because I only accept one family’s pet at a time, early booking is encouraged. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I only care for one family’s pet at a time, which allows me to give your dog my full attention in a calm, low-stress environment. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time, so your pet will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day. I follow your dog’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care instructions. We have a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play. For dogs who enjoy walks, we also have a quiet neighborhood trail nearby, and I’m happy to include them in my regular 3-mile walks if appropriate. My goal is simple: to provide a safe, loving home where your dog feels comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.

About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.

“Clara was wonderful! She took great care of my 2 dogs who left her daycare very happy. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter.”

“Biscuit always loves to visit and since he varies in energy levels, I never know what type of day he'll bring when I drop him off, but she is so flexible and great with him!”

“Our dog Bear was well taken care of and spent plenty of time outside for exercise. They were great about sending photos of him during the day.”

“We were really worried about our dachshund as he’s still a puppy and is very scared of everything. He’s doing so good with the other dogs and slowly warming up! So glad Casey could help!”

I have had many labs and larger dogs as well as small dogs over the years and love caring for all breeds and sizes. I take care of my neighbor’s dogs, bunny and cats when they go out of town. I work a full time job from home and have a lot of flexible hours to walk dogs during the day. I am available most weekends to come over and care for other pets, clean litter boxes and just spend time with your fur babies. I have a very large fenced in yard and a social dog that will play. I have 3 cats that have spent their entire life around dogs. I have 3 different sized dog crates if your dog is crate trained. My pets are allowed to sit and sleep on the furniture and beds in the house. My pets are like family members and pretty spoiled! I will treat your pets the same as I treat mine.

“Highly recommend Stefanie to take care of your dogs! Our girl loves going to daycare and comes back so tired from a day of love and playing. So many pictures taken and she is always quick to communicate. We’ve tried a few different places, and Stefanie is the best — Thank you Stefanie!”

“Dustin did a great job taking care of Patty with short notice. He was flexible and quick to respond to set up a meet and greet at the last minute when we had a death in the family. Patty enjoyed her day with Dustin and the rest of the pups. She loves meeting new people and pups but can be a bit shy and clinging at first but it was clear from the photos that Dustin provided that she was happy and content while we were away. She isn't used to being around several dogs and Dustin did a great job getting her settled in. She loves laying in the sun and roaming around grassy areas and Dustin's yard was like a big wonderful park for her where she could be off leash and enjoy the outdoors and running. We will absolutely be taking Patty back for just play time with other pups to make sure she stays socialized. She came home tired and happy and it was clear she was very well cared for. Thank you Dustin!”

“Our 10-month-old doodle, Ava, has gone to Veronika's home twice and both times have been a fantastic, non-stressful event for all of us. We could tell from our meet & greet that she really cares about the dogs she cares for; our pup felt comfortable with her very quickly. Veronika's communication and responsiveness is excellent and her flexibility in drop-off and pick-up times is really appreciated. She will care for Ava during our upcoming 9-day vacation and we aren't worried about leaving her one bit!”

Leslie B.

“My dog felt really comfortable with Tyler. His dog was really sweet and gentle when meeting my dog. I will definitely reach out again when I need a sitter in the area!”

“Mark and Kelly were very sweet and patient with our little 14 year old dog, Roxi. Roxi stayed at their house for a couple days while we were in town visiting. She was nervous at first with the elderly dogs that lived there but Mark and Kelly made sure she had a "safe place" and over time she even started to venture out of her shell. The stay there was good for her.”

J. Hardin & C.

“Jinna took great care of our dog. She provided updates throughout the day and was very accommodating when our timeline changed last minute. We highly recommend and will definitely book again”
