Dog Boarding Madison

“Once again our doodle, Jaxon, had a fun time at Alina’s. He loves being outside and playing I the snow and he had plenty of opportunities with Alina. His tail was wagging when we dropped him off and he was happy to see us at pickup. We love being able to drop Jaxon off when we travel to NH.”

“Kate & John were amazing with my dad’s dog, Walter! He is an anxious boy, and they made sure he felt at home, and got him settled right in. Their dogs, Theo and Luna, were very friendly and welcomed him with happy tails and they had a lot of fun together. They took him on adventures to a brook, walking trails and lots of playing fetch. They were very responsive and communicative which put my nervous dad at ease and he was able to enjoy his vacation worry free. It is very apparent that this family enjoys welcoming other dogs into their home and caring for them, we highly recommend Kate & John!”

“Kim was wonderful and went above and beyond to make Ronin and Winnie comfortable. They had a great stay. She sent pictures and updates frequently. I highly recommend Kim!”

“Alicia and her sweet family always make Scout feel at home, she loves running around the yard and playing with the kiddos. Thanks again for watching her this weekend!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for Riggs than Ric! He was so kind and loving towards our old dog. He had him outside a ton, gave him great walks, followed our specific food instructions perfectly, and just genuinely obviously cared about Riggs being safe and comfortable. He was also super communicative during Riggs’ whole stay, and flexible with drop off and pick up times. I highly recommend Ric!”

About: 🐾 Need a place for your furry friends to hang for the day? Overnight care? Visiting the area and want a safe place to leave your dog for an afternoon of two? Going on vacation? Regular day care while you are at work? Playtime and exercise? Walking and check/ins? I can do that! 💕 I have two 40lb lab mix pups: Ruby, who is almost 3, and Pax is 1.5. They are both very sweet and love other dogs and people! 🐾 We go on at least one long walk in the woods on our property every day- sometimes adventuring to the river for a dip, or out on the local, less-popular hiking trails. We know all the secret spots ; ) 💕 I love having a dog pack around, and love watching them play and run together. I believe in providing plenty of outdoor time for playing, sniffing, exploring, listening to nature, or sitting in the sun- whatever your dog needs to be happy! I will meet them where they are at to ensure they are comfortable in a new environment. Leashes will be used until we are sure it’s fine to take them off. 🐾 We just got an invisible fence- so if your dog is familiar with that, we have 1.5 acre yard of invisible freedom to roam! Trained in basic doggie 101-we usually have basic manners and recall in practice for healthy treats and affection-especially for puppies- and can provide a crate, comfy couch or bed if your pup needs a space to retreat. 💕 My only requirement for care in my home is that your dog must get along with other dogs and cats. I will gate the stairs to keep some separation, so if your dog is “cat curious” but intimidating, they will all have their own space to relax. 🐾 I work from home mostly, and have a flexible schedule. Pet care is perfect for my lifestyle! 🌲 We are outside a ton- gardening, hiking, xc skiing, swimming- adventuring on our property and in the surrounding National Forest. 🐾 I would prefer dogs that are good off-leash and have good social skills- I will always keep your dog on leash if I feel they are not okay otherwise. I only take 3 at a time the most, in-addition to my own pup. We live on a very private property with an open yard with an invisible fence system- offering plenty of space to run and play. We have a comfy animal-friendly couch and a screened-in porch with a queen-size bed for your pups to nap outside without being “loose”. I have 2 pups who will be happy to keep your pup company! They will be able to go in and out freely in a natural home setting, (as long as they are okay off leash) and your dog will be cared for like our own. If I visit your home, I would typically have my dog with me to play with yours- unless you specify otherwise. Each visit would be an hour of play and affection, outdoor time, feeding, water, etc.

“First off, I do not generally add reviews but with Rebecca. I felt it was due. In all my years I’ve been fortunate enough I’ve never had to board a family member, but now circumstances have changed. Not only did I need to find someone I was comfortable with, but more important the board was a 8 week old rescue. Rebecca from the beginning was totally understanding to my concerns. When Bella was picked up, Rebecca took all the time to go over her routine making me comfortable that she was going to care for her as if she was her own. While I was away I received multiple pictures and texts daily on how she was doing. Rebecca went above and beyond and for that Im very thankful. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her services in the future”

“Kaitlin and her family were fantastic with the dogs! First, she accommodated a last minute booking when my original plan fell through and accepted with a weeks notice and I am forever grateful. It was clear the dogs were in good hands with multiple updates and pictures each day, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing they were well taken care of. They even came home with handmade bandanas! I would definitely book with Kaitlyn again knowing my dogs also had a great vacation at her home. Thanks again!”

“Was great pet sitter. The person I originally booked, cancelled at the last minute but rover found me a replacement right away and turned out great.”

“Hailey was fantastic with our pups. She sent us pictures and updates for them to help set our minds at ease. There was plenty of room outside for our dogs to run and play. When we picked up our dogs, they were happy and playful. They were very clearly well taken care of. We will definitely use Hailey again.”

Jacqueline H.

“Jessica and her family were lifesavers! They took our two dogs last minute and loved on them so well. They did such a good job of integrating our dogs and sending lots of pictures during their stay. Our dogs came back so happy.”

“Christina was really great with Cosmo and is experienced in dog behaviour and handling. I was nervous as Cosmo hasn't stayed in a kennel before but she handled it great and Cosmo had a great time! She was detailed in asking questions to ensure she had all the information to provide the best care for him.”

“This was the first time we've left Macey with someone other than family. Jane put us at ease when we came to meet her a few days before she assumed responsibility for our little girl. In addition, she provided updates and some photos so we could see that Macey adjusted to this environment. We couldn't have picked a better person to entrust with a dog that we love with all our heart. I highly recommend Jane to anyone needing to place a dog for boarding!”

“Our energetic Maddie had a great stay with Tony. We always try to board her with people that have other dogs so she can play and make friends. Tony had her alone, but still managed to get her walking and running off leash in a fenced in yard and kept her happy. He was very good about reaching out and sending pictures during her stay which is very reassuring. Not enough Rover people do that! Tony is highly recommended!”

About: Our family has had dogs ever since our grown son was a child. We have owned and loved three dogs. As a retiree, I am happy to board your well-behaved, adult dog in my country home. Your dog will be the only dog I care for and will receive my full attention, as I will only care for one dog at a time. I'm retired and have plenty of time to spend with your dog. I love to walk in good weather and if your dog behaves on leash, I am happy to take your dog on safe, country hikes. If not, I have a large, fenced in yard for your dog to play in. I will treat your well-behaved dog as a family member. Our home is a quiet, relaxed setting, and a great environment for senior or fearful dogs. If you live nearby, I prefer doing a "meet and greet" with your dog prior to boarding to enable a smooth transition when it's boarding time.

“Christy dog sat our two Samoyeds around Christmas 2023 and my wife, and I, and our dogs loved her! Christy asked the right questions about dogs and their behavior. She approached them with respect and restraint, so they would get a chance to sniff her before we left them with her. She has a beautiful property with fenced yard, where dogs can run and have fun and be safe. We also gave her a go ahead to take the dogs on longer walks on nearby trails. The rest of Christy's family doted on our dogs, and the dogs loved all the attention. Christy sent us pictures and videos of dogs enjoying themselves and she was available over text if we had questions. We hope to use Christy's dog sitting services again.”

About: I have always had dogs but am currently without one after my 16-year-old golden retriever passed away. I am comfortable working with dogs of all ages, and understand how their needs, routines and personalities change throughout their lives. I live in a quiet community with beach access a short walk away. If you have a pup that loves to swim, go on adventures or walks, or simply spend time outside, I would be a great fit. While your away, you can be sure they too are enjoying a mini vacation. I can work from home so your dog will not be lonely during the day. There are some days I may not be home all day, but I will be sure to give them plenty of exercise with time to run, play or swim in the mornings, afternoons and evenings. I also have a life jacket for those dogs who are not strong swimmers or who may want a little extra support in the water. I've not crated any of my dogs, but if you are more comfortable with crating, I can accommodate that if you bring yours. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a small side yard, access to trails and a beach so they will get plenty of time outside.

“Maile is so sweet, and she took my dogs in like they were her own ❤️ I could not have picked a better person to take care of my two German Shepherds. She kept me updated and even sent me some videos! She will be my go to for furbaby sitters from now on ??”
