The Fox Den-A safe and loving home

Pet care experience

We are a family with plenty of free time to take care of your fur babies. My name is Bobbie and I have taken care of dogs of different sizes and breeds for the last 23 years. My husband and I have had four dogs together, three of which we still have. Sadly, we had to say good bye to our girl June of 2019. We own our home and dogs are free to roam the house, including laying on our large sectional couch. We have a fenced in yard so your dog can play outside without the worry of them going off and exploring. My family and I absolutely love dogs and we consider ours as family members. We have five children (under a year,3,8,10, & 13). We have taught our children to respect all animals and don't find ear/tail grabbing, stepping on, etc funny or cute. We don't tolerate that behavior so please know that our children will love and respect your dog or dogs as well. Our children do love helping care for every dog we have in our home. That usually consists of plenty of pets, running around the backyard with them, and tagging along for walks. We will treat your family member like they are our own. We understand that it may be stressful for your dog being in a new environment so we make sure to take the time to help your dog get comfortable. Our family does adapt for each dog we board and sit so they can have the best experience possible while being in our home. We keep our dogs in a separate area until we know that your dog is comfortable and ready. We have experience with senior dogs, dogs that have special needs, puppies, and dogs that have experienced maltreatment. We would love the opportunity to care for your dog. Please contact us with any questions that you may have. We look forward to meetings your fur babies! Please check out our dogs' bios to see if they would be a good fit for your dog/s. Their energy levels range from low to moderate and they aren't fond of dogs jumping in their faces. Low to moderate energy dogs match their energy levels. *Repeat clients, if the calendar is showing that we are unavailable you can still message to see if we can sit/board. Sometimes we take a break but if we know his or her personality and needs already we might be able to still care for them. *Meet and greets are done outside so please prepare for whatever the weather is that day. *For the safety of all dogs if we notice any aggression we will deem the meet and greet not a good fit. I'm currently doing dog walks outside of boarding. Other than my usual dog walking times I am home. Clark is out of the home two days a week and works from home on the other days. I do the majority of the pet care during the day. Clark and I both share responsibility for pet care at night. With me having scheduled dog walks I will have to be gone for short periods of time. Unfortunately if your dog has seperation anxiety and can't be left alone we are not a good fit. When it comes to anyone searching for dog walking services, I am very reliable. I am well prepared for the different seasons that we experience in Wisconsin. I will not cancel unless the weather becomes unsafe. If your location is close to me we can definitely talk about the rate! Our back yard is fenced to prevent escaping. We make sure dogs are supervised at all times and always have our dogs sleep in a separate gated area when boarding. The safety of every dog in our home is our top priority. *Dogs we board need to be potty trained. We will always consider older dogs that have incontinence issues.

These guys were amazing with my golden Cash! It was the first time we left him and I can say, without a doubt, there was no reason for concern! They were great about updates and pictures! Great communication! I would highly recommend these guys!

I was worried first of all just o be leaving Minnie for the first time ever - but she's a social dog with lots of energy, so she actually profited from her stay at Bobbie's. I also worried when I found out that other boarding dogs would be there, but it turns out Bobbie is great at traffic control and everybody seems to have made friends. It was a comfort to get nightly photos from Bobbie, too.

Safety, trust & environment

All dogs that we board are fed away from our dogs. We feed our dogs in our kitchen which is gated off. We try to keep things as consistent as possible so we have the dogs we board sleep where they normally would sleep at their own home. We allow dogs to sleep in our bed, as well as on our couch. We have a stockpile of toys and treats but if your dog/s has or have any specific toys and treats that you would like to bring along that's fine as well. We never give scraps to any dogs in our home and we do not buy rawhide treats.

Information Bobbie & Clark F. would like to know about your pet

All dogs that we care for in our home must be up to date on vaccinations. I would like to know his or her temperament. Do you have a preference on where they sleep? Dogs we board or sit must be good with children and other dogs. Lastly, due to past situations we will not be taking in destructive dogs.

A typical day

We have plenty of toys and doggy brain games to keep your dog stimulated. We keep a stockpile of "Chuck it" balls for fetch and we will play for long periods if your dog chooses too. We also can go on walks and check out the neighborhood. We do have our down time as well and we like to relax and cuddle up. There really isn't a typical day with us and it changes with each dog that we care for. Some may need more play time while others may need more relaxation and calmness.
