Pet Boarding Madison

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful, trustworthy, and genuinely caring dog sitter! I cannot recommend Ruth highly enough! She took wonderful care of my dog, Titou, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ruth was responsible, attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely committed to making sure Titou felt comfortable, happy, and safe. I particularly appreciated her excellent communication and regular updates, which gave me tremendous peace of mind while we were apart. Ruth clearly understands that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routines. She approaches pet care with patience, kindness, and genuine affection. She provided a welcoming, secure environment where Titou felt completely at home. Finding someone you can truly trust with your beloved companion is invaluable. Titou was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Ruth with him again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and conscientious dog sitter!”

“Gina is great! We did a meet and greet first so her and my dogs could get acquainted, and to make sure it would be safe for all. She sent me pics of my boys while I was away and I really appreciated that! She treated my boys like her own fur babies! I highly recommend Gina! 5 stars for sure!”

About: With over 15 years of dog experience and a genuine love for animals, I provide compassionate and reliable care for your furry friends. As a proud owner of a adorable 5-year-old Goldendoodle, I understand the importance of trust and dedication when it comes to caring for your pet. Let's give your dog the loving attention they deserve! My work schedule is from 2 PM to 11 PM, but I have a two-hour dinner break in the evening, giving me plenty of time to take your dog out, play, and ensure they get the care and attention they need. Your pet's happiness and well-being are my priority! I care for pets in the comfort of your home, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you're away. I'll give your pet personalized attention, follow their routine, and care for their needs as if they were my own, so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.

“Alyssa was excellent with our pup, Maggie! I can't recommend her enough. She was flexible with pick up and drop off times, which was very helpful with our chaotic schedule. She sent several timely photos and updates, which was very reassuring especially when we missed her on our trip. Definitely would love to book again!”

“Ryan and his family were amazing when watching cooper! We will never go back to a boarding place after leaving cooper with them. They sent us pictures and let us know what he was doing throughout the day. We definitely be reaching back out to Ryan and his family!!”

“Wonderful people, and excellent sitters to sit your dog. They know dogs. Theyve been doing ut a long time. They really care about what they do. There is always someone there. My pup got exercise and playmates and a good staycation . i will use them next time im in madison if theyre available.”

“Taylor did a great job making sure Madigan was comfortable and adjusted. Madigan enjoyed her stay and the care she received. The only unknown was how Madigan would tolerate the cats and some dogs since her diagnosis of advanced heart disease. She did okay sometimes and sometimes not. It probably fluctuates with how she's feeling in the moment. There were no major issues. I highly recommend Taylor as an option for your pet!”

About: I absolutely adore animals. I feel so completely honored when a client trusts me to take care of their precious furkids! I have been doing this a long time, about 12 years! I’ve had animals all my life (gerbils, birds, fish, a newt, cats, dogs). I’ve cared for sheep, horses, donkeys, and all the traditional pets. What are my strengths? Why should you choose me? Well, I have anxiety which has proven to be a huge asset with this job haha. I triple check medicine doses, I am a fanatic about fresh water and making sure an animal’s needs are met and they’re as happy as I can possibly make them. I relate strongly to anxious pets and have a lot of patience for them; I know a few tricks to get them to be more comfortable. I work with reactive dogs and understand it’s fear and take all the precautions needed to keep everyone safe. I’m also learning positive-reinforcement dog training? Need help? I’ll do what I can but I am not a certified trainer yet but know a few things and am always trying to learn more! When you leave on vacation I so totally understand how scary it can be to leave behind your little critters with a stranger. I try hard to make it a vacation for them as well. For dogs that means I’ll ask what their favorite activities and treats are. If dog park trips are allowed, we will hit them up! Do they like swimming? Then it’s off to Stoughton for a dip in the water! I also check the water quality. Again, anxiety is an asset cause it keeps your pets safe! How about your cats? What are they into? What toys do they like most? I like to make toys to put on wands to keep it fresh and interesting. Cats are curious and love to explore so I will likely ask if I can build forts for them. I love doing that and I have rarely met a cat who wasn’t interested in checking out something new! Again, it’s about making sure the pets are having a special and fun time while you’re having a great time, too. I love taking pics and send a lot and update you on how things are going. I would love that as a pet owner and would hate for you to have to wonder if they’re ok. I’d rather you know they are. That said, I will also let you know if something doesn’t seem quite right. As much as I hate to worry a client, safety first. I monitor anything a bit strange and have no qualms about taking a pet to the vet to be safe. Ideally we will discuss that first unless it’s an emergency then we just gotta get there. That’s rare but needs to be discussed firstly so the name of the vet you use will help me a lot. What else? I’m passionate about what I do. I find things to love with all the animals I care for and especially love how my clients love their pets. Like to leave a ton of notes? Cool! I want to do what you prefer. Anytime we can stick to their routine means less stress for the animals and I’m all for that. I’ve given a lot of meds over the years, pills, insulin, feeding tubes, subcutaneous fluids…. I’m not afraid of any of that. I even know what to do if your pet is having a seizure but please provide gloves for that medication haha. Feel free to ask me anything. This is my full-time job. I’m devoted to working around your timeframe to keep visits and stays as consistent as possible. I like to be there when you expect me to be. At my house it’s really just a resting area as it’s small. I take on very few dogs as a result because I have 2 cats. Our fun at my place revolves around dog park trips, pet store trips, and group walks. Your dog would be my sidekick! In a client’s home it varies since it’s about what you want. The first question I’ll ask you is what is their daily routine like? When do they wake up, when so they eat, do they have a set walk route or can it be varied; which dogs do we need to avoid, if any. Same for cats, how is their day spent? How do you pet them? How do you play with them? How do you talk to them? I want to know what they like and you’re the expert here. That said, I do like to introduce fun, new toys and experiences if allowed to make it extra special.

“Neema was great. Very responsive and easy to work with. Took great care of our dog and updated us along the way. We felt very comfortable leaving her in his care. He has a nice setup in his home and lives across the street from a park- a dogs dream location.”

“My dog loves being at Christina and Jeremy's! They do a great job with boarding and my Pomeranian (who can sometimes be stressed by new environments/people) felt right at home with them. Highly recommend this sitter!”

“Shuting took such great care of our dog. It was clear she is a true dog lover, her dog Frances is really sweet and got along great with our dog, she sent tons of pictures, and our dog was tuckered out when he got home. Thank you, Shuting!”

About: I am very loving and attentive. Dogs who stay with me are taken out for walks multiple times a day! I have experience in giving medication and taking care of elderly cats. I’m currently a student so I have a lot of availability throughout the day since my classes aren’t taxing. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate. I live in an apartment in the center of Madison. The Medonta lake is right across from me along with some parks. I am usually at home so I can accommodate with every pet.

“Hannah was great! She was very flexible with letting us drop our dog off very early in the morning. She also sent us text updates and pictures while we were gone. We will definitely use Hannah again!!”

Caroline D.

“1000% would recommend! Meaghan and her husband are so wonderful, and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout. Our dog loves playing with their sweet dog and he gets lots of cuddles from them and love. This is our second time using them as dog sitters and our dog seemed so excited to see them. There is nothing greater when you have to drop them off and to know that they are happy to be there and in good hands. :)”

“Sophia was wonderful to tilly. She sent lots of pics and updates and was very patient with her as she warmed up! Will definitely be using her services in the future!”

Tessa G.

“Nick provided awesome care for our pooch! Our dog, Hal, was so content with his new friend, that when I rang the doorbell to pick him up, he remarkably snoozed through it (and was happy and healthy, to boot)! Nick sent photo updates throughout the stay, and took Hal to the park and ran around with him. Nick's also at a convenient north side location, close the airport and 39/90/94, if you need to drop off your pet before traveling. All our thanks, Nick!”

Rachel T.

“We had such a great experience with Sofia watching our dog this past weekend! She was very accommodating, knowledgeable, and great at communicating throughout Bourbon’s stay. She sent plenty of updates and photos, which was reassuring and made it easy to know our dog was happy and well taken care of! Bourbon seemed very comfortable and like he was in great hands. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

Giavonna P.

“Very nice and caring. Her and her daughter took both of my dogs on a nice walk and tired them out. They went above and beyond for my pups. Great sitter, I would book with her again.”

Jamie H.

“Our sheepadoodle had a good time playing with Mikaela’s dog, Theo. The fenced backyard is a big plus for playtime! We would definitely leave our dog in her care again.”

Kristina N.

“Marysia and Bryan did a great job taking care of Lyla. Sent lots of updates and their dogs were super fun for her to play with!”
