“We love having Louie stay with Auria….he comes home happy and having him with other dogs has clearly made him more social at home and in the neighborhood. Auria is our “go-to sitter!”

“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.”

About: 🐾 Buddy’s Boarding — Where Pets Feel at Home Hi! We're Percy and Darik — two experienced pet lovers offering premium dog boarding from our home in Brown Deer. One of us is home full-time, giving us the flexibility to provide reliable, personalized care for every pup we host. 🐶 Why pet parents love Buddy’s Boarding: • Spacious yard with a partially fenced area for play and potty breaks • Flexible pick-up/drop-off times with clear communication • Convenient location — just 10 minutes from I-43 and Hwy 41 • Quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and green space • Two attentive, dog-experienced sitters under one roof • Access to a dog-friendly pool (summer months only, supervised, optional) ✨ Our Story Buddy’s Boarding is named after the dog that started it all. At 10 years old, I found Buddy as a stray near my dad’s business and begged my mom to let us keep him. She said yes — and from that moment on, my bond with animals was sealed. That connection still fuels the love and care we give every dog who stays with us. Whether your pup is active and playful or chill and cuddly, we tailor each stay to their needs. Let us know your dog’s routine and preferences — we’re happy to accommodate. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home. 🐾 👉 Send us a request to get started — we’d love to meet your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. My partner Darik works from home as a graphic designer, so there’s always someone present to supervise and care for the dogs. I work part-time as a dog handler in the mornings, which means I bring both experience and structure to our day. Between the two of us, we’re able to give pets plenty of attention, play, and potty breaks throughout the day — with flexibility for early drop-offs, midday walks, and evening wind-downs. It’s a rhythm that’s built around making dogs feel safe, happy, and at home. Safety We prioritize safety by pet-proofing our home, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and supervising pets at all times. Whether it’s backyard play or a leashed walk, we ensure dogs are always in secure, pet-friendly environments. We also tailor safety measures to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Trust Building trust with both pets and their people is at the heart of what we do. We take time to understand each dog’s routine and preferences, and we maintain regular communication with pet parents — sharing updates and photos so they always feel connected and confident in our care. Environment Our home is clean, cozy, and designed with dogs in mind — with plenty of space to move, comfy spots to rest, and loving attention throughout the day. We create a calm, positive environment and adjust our approach to meet each dog where they’re at. If we’re caring for pets in their home, we follow their routine closely to ensure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their own space.

“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.”

“Having our dog stay with MJ has been a great experience! We recently adopted a dog with fairly severe separation anxiety, and I'm not sure how we would have made it through the first months without having someone like MJ to watch her during the day while we work on alone time training. He's always very communicative and flexible, and our dog just loves him. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”

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!

“Crystal is excellent. She took great care of our pup, Rufus. She is extremely responsive and flexible. She sent us several photos, which I loved receiving. I am a very over protective dog mom and I trust her with my fur baby. Looking forward to having her sit Rufus whenever we have a need for a sitter.”

“Samantha was awesome! Would definitely use again”

Becca C.

“I left my dog Remi with Dani while I got moving houses over with. She took great care of my sweet girl and we’ll definitely be back. All the dogs got along great.”

About: I’ve always had a special connection with dogs. Growing up in Mexico, I adopted several stray dogs who followed me home because of my calming energy. I’ve cared for 3 dogs and 2 cats, and after moving to the U.S., I adopted Nutmeg, a pit bull mix who was my loyal companion until her passing 3 years ago. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and often dog-sit for friends when they travel. Caring for animals is a passion that has shaped my life. I work from home as a graphic designer, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your dog. They’ll get the attention and care they need throughout the day. I have a yard where your dog can safely play, and I’m happy to take them on walks around my dog-friendly neighborhood to keep them active and happy.

About: I have had multiple dogs through out my life. During high school my family had 4 dogs in the house which were 3 Labs and 1 Bully mix. Since my wife and I moved out we currently live with our doghter, Nala. We also recently adopted our cat, Neo who is sweet and loving towards other dogs. I usually take my dog out during the morning around 7am to 8 am, during the afternoon after the dogs have breakfast, once again during 4 or 5pm, and then one final time before we head to bed around 8pm or 9pm. This is a daily routine for Nala and myself that we have stuck to since she was a puppy and works great for us over all. We usually walk around the block or play in the background as sometimes she doesn't need to potty and just needs that outside enrichment. I currently have a fenced yard for the back yard if the dogs do plan to play. The only part that is not fenced up is the driveway, but for the most part Nala and I do walk so that she can get some steps in and also so she won't poop too much in the backyard. If I am visiting your home I will come respectfully and walk your dog with Nala or without what ever your preference is and also give a detailed check-in of your dog to put your mind at ease.

About: I currently do not own a pet, but I often pet-sit my sister's two adorable puppies that they sometimes have me pet sit them. I like small pets. I am currently working from home and end shift at 12:30pm. This flexible schedule allows me plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care as pet-sitter. My property feathers a fenced yard, and I am planning to create a smaller, fenced grassy area to provide pets with a clean and safe.

About: Ive have dog since i was about 7 i cared for them since i was 20 they always kept me happy and they always loved on me so hard I work from home and ha e alot of free time so figured this job would be a great fit for me and I get to be around different dogs I have 4 dogs they are groomed once a week they been out their cages more than they be in them. Sometimes I make steak for them just cause they live on me so much and they are walked about 4 times a day . We also love going to the doggie park to have some free time

“Carolyn helped me feel at ease, leaving my four puppies with her. She was accommodating, communicated very well, and I would recommend her. She’s very knowledgeable, she’s friendly, and she truly loves the animals I will definitely rebook when I need a day sitter for both my dog and my fosters.”

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.
