Dog Boarding Lake Ripley

“Jessica was amazing!! Her communication throughout booking and confirming were top notch. Our little Looper had so much fun at Jessica's house, he returned happy and worn out!! We truly appreciate the care Jessica gave to our pup, and would absolutely recommend! We will be booking again in the future. Thank you, Jessica!!”

Melissa C.

“Jessica was great again. Understood that my dog like to try to escape and kept him safe and his tracking collar charged. I got pictures and updates everyday, I’d use her whenever she’s available!”

Emily G.

“Our now 5-month-old puppy was so excited to be back at Sarah's. He immediately started playing with Rip and Mayla, and he was still playing with them when I came to pick him up three days later. It makes me happy knowing how much he loves being there. And I appreciate knowing that Sarah gives him the same love, care, and attention as she does her own two dogs. (It was also great that he was exhausted for the next day and a half after we got home haha.)”

Jennifer B.

“Chelssey was awesome! Great communication prior and during Sunny’s stay which I loved! She also sent pictures which was fun. We will book again with Chelssey.”

Carol D.

“Val and his wife took such amazing care of my dog. She was well-loved and they are truly the kindest people. It was my first time using rover and will definitely be a repeat customer in the future. Thanks again!”

Mindy W.

“Ronalisa did wonderfully! Floyd is high energy and can be pushy- so at first I was worried as we had never boarded through Rover before. But it was quickly apparent than Rona was confident and capable even with young and crazy dogs like Floyd. She always got back to me quickly and sent the cutest videos of them playing fetch, swimming, and hiking around. Her dogs are also great too! They helped Floyd play appropriately but still have fun. I would love to board with Rona again”

Katy B.

“Second time booking Tessa for a long extended stay for our almost 16 year old pup! Received numerous updates and photos daily - Tessa is the best!”

Amanda S.

“Kristin and Bruce and their kids are amazing! Sunny left very happy and we will certainly schedule again! Thank you for taking such great care of our silly little beagle!”

Amy M.

“Tanya was amazing. We had tried to find a pet sitter for our very anxious/sometimes aggressive dog Millie for a long time, and finally met Tanya. She clearly is very passionate about helping animals feel safe and cared for, and was so compassionate about our poor dog's fears and problems. We did a trial sleepover before our 10-day trip and it went great. When we were on our trip, Tanya sent us frequent updates and videos, showing how well Millie was doing. She replied quickly to our texts and was very reassuring. When we picked Millie up, she appeared well cared-for and fine (or as fine as our dog gets!) We HIGHLY recommend Tanya!”

Kurt N.

“Allison went above and beyond! She treated my dog like she was her own, and I felt completely at ease while I was away. I’m definitely pretty particular about who I trust with my dog, and I had absolutely no hesitations with Allison. She was so caring and loved sending all the pictures (which I obviously LOVED ). It was clear my pup was having the best time and was so well cared for. I would 100% have Allison watch her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Magan E.

“I would highly recommend Heather! She did a wonderful job of sending photos and updates daily and in general I really felt like our dog was being well cared for.”

Marta B.

“Zgunder has a FANTASTIC time with Shelly!! Shelly sent me a couple of pictures of my wonderful amazing dog during her stay along with updates on how she was doing. I could not be happier with Shelly and my dog feels the same way.”

Jeremy H.

“The best dog sitter I have ever had. Ruby is completely accommodating to you and your pups needs. She is completely open to any suggestions and treats your dog as her own. It is a relief knowing that my dog will get plenty of exercise and interaction with other dogs.”

Tim C.

“Our pup was so happy here! Jenny and family were very communicative and shared photos and videos that made us smile every time. They were really flexible and accommodating about our timeline, since we had a long drive and couldn’t predict an exact time. This was the perfect way to have our puppy here in Madison while we were visiting our daughter who is a student here. Absolute game changer! Thank you!”

Carri S.

“Beth and her family were wonderful and cared so well for my older husky mix Zelda! Z settled in well & they were very accommodating for all of her needs. The teenage boys gave her lots of attention. Zelda was very comfortable there. Great communication, sweet people, and easy folks to talk to. Will definitely book again!”

Brian G.

“Brad was available on very short notice for us to get away for the weekend. We are very thankful that he took on our gentle giant. Mac had a great stay and we got picture updates as well.”

Taylor W.

“Stacy welcomed my dog into her house and treated him as her own. Rudy loved playing and snuggling with her family! She communicated well and made sure she understood his needs. I will use Stacy again.”

J D.

“Caitlin did a wonderful job with our dog! She made sure to accommodate our dog’s unique feeding schedule, and gave her lots of love while we were traveling.”

Jennifer D.

“Thank you Jesse! You made this a lot easier than we thought it'd be. This was our first time boarding Tank and we're glad we chose you. Thanks again for caring for him while we were away. The pictures and video were a bonus. Thank you!”

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs and cats through personal pet ownership, animal shelter volunteering, fostering, and pet sitting for friends and family. During my undergraduate years, I spent several years volunteering at animal shelters and fostering animals with a wide range of ages, personalities, and care needs. I've cared for young puppies, kittens, adult cats, senior dogs, and older rescues who were still learning potty-training routines. Through these experiences, I've become comfortable working with shy, nervous, and anxious animals, as well as dogs who need extra patience on walks or tend to pull on the leash. I also have experience with basic puppy training, reinforcing commands, managing potty-training accidents, and caring for multiple pets at once. I'm experienced with administering both oral and injectable medications, and I understand the importance of carefully following each pet's specific care instructions. I grew up caring for my family's pug, who lived to be 15 years old, and I currently have a sweet 4 year old rescue dog. I've also fostered and cared for multiple dogs and cats in my home, so I'm familiar with managing different personalities, energy levels, and routines. One of the biggest things fostering has taught me is that every animal is different. Some pets want to play all day, while others prefer quiet company or need a little extra time to warm up. I love getting to know each pet individually and making sure they receive the attention, patience, and affection that works best for them! I'm currently a graduate student at UW-Madison, and one of the best parts of my schedule is that my lab allows me very flexible hours! This gives me plenty of freedom throughout the week to work around your pet's routine and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. Since I'm not tied to a traditional 9 to 5 schedule, I can make time for dog walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and overnight house sitting. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, your kitten wants some extra playtime, or your furry friend just needs someone to keep them company while you're away, I'm happy to help! I also have a 4 year old rescue dog of my own, so walks, feeding, playtime, and spending quality time with animals are already part of my everyday routine. I'm available most days and am happy to coordinate around your pet's usual schedule. I know how important consistency is for animals, especially those who are younger, older, or a little anxious, and I'll do my best to keep their routine as comfortable and familiar as possible. And of course, I'll always make time for plenty of cuddles, playtime, and pictures of your little fur babies! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! Through my experience volunteering at animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats, I've learned how important it is to be patient, attentive, and respectful of each animal's individual needs. I'm comfortable caring for shy or anxious pets, energetic puppies, senior animals, and pets who may need a little extra attention or reassurance. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any special care needs. I also have experience administering oral and injectable medications and understand the importance of following the instructions provided for each pet. I live alone with my sweet 4 year old rescue dog, who gets along very well with other animals. I've also cared for multiple cats and dogs in my home before, so I understand the importance of paying attention to each pet's personality, comfort level, and boundaries. I'm mindful of keeping pets secure during walks, being attentive to their behavior, and making sure they feel comfortable in their surroundings. I also treat every client's home with care and respect. Communication is really important to me, so I'm always happy to send regular photos and updates during visits or overnight stays. I want you to be able to relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and getting plenty of love and attention while you're away!
