Think outside the Crate!

Pet care experience

In April 2014, my husband, Andrew, and I were able to move back to the Madison area (where I am from) after being in Chicago for 2 years. Since I was already planning on being a full-time housewife, I decided to do something else that I LOVE.... take care of dogs. There is a huge need for the type of care that I am providing to this area. The only boarding facilities available (besides me) are kennels and vets. I HATE kennels!!! I feel like it is cruel to place an animal in a cage while the owners are on vacation. That's definitely not the way we treat our baby while he's at home. ..So... When it comes to your pet, think outside the crate! When you have to be away from home, take comfort in knowing that your pooch will be treated as part of our family. No more being cooped up in a small crate at the vet when you can't be home. Let us love and pamper your pet like you would! Our resident dog, Cooper, is waiting to make new friends. Why I love dog sitting I got my first dog (on my own) 8 years ago from the local shelter. He is my baby and we take him everywhere with us. I have always wanted to work with animals but never really had the opportunity until my husband and I moved back to Southern Indiana in 2014. I decided to take the plunge and start a dog boarding business! I also have 3 years experience working at the Jefferson County Animal Shelter where I extensively worked to help rehabilitate sick, abused, and homeless animals. We got Cooper in July 2014 from a family that could not take care of him and were letting him run the streets. I love both of my babies and I would love to get to know and care for yours as well. Meet my pets Cooper - 8 year old mix breed *** Cooper is a timid boy that can be won over by treats and an ear scratch. Dodge - 9 year old grey tabby. *** Dodge is a very independent girl that doesn't like to make herself seen too often. Chloe - 4 year old tuxedo cat *** Chloe is a daddy's girl. She loves sitting on the widow sill and watching the birds. About my yard I have a large, fenced in back yard. Your baby will have plenty of room to run and play. My experience administering medication Due to my experience working at the animal shelter, I am comfortable and experienced with administering both oral and injected medications. Requirements To ensure the safety and well-being of all dogs staying here, I require that dogs be spayed/neutered, up to date on all vaccinations, and house trained. NOTE: Last minute reservations will be charged an additional fee of $5 per night if the reservation is accepted.

Danielle was easy to work with. Reilly came back happy and calm. If you are camping in Madison and you need to leave your dog for the day, highly recommend this sitter.

Danielle was very professional and serious about the service she provided caring for our dog, Guinness. Truth be known, I probably had a higher degree of anxiety leaving him than he had being away from us. Danielle provided me with updates and photos which put my mind at ease while we were away and I truly appreciated that. I'm thankful for Danielle and happy she is so conveniently located to us. When the time comes that we need to be out of town again and unable to take Guinness, I would completely trust Danielle to care for him again!

Bernie was at home in Danielle''s house. He had never been away from us and handled it much better than we anticipated. She took very good care of him. We would recommend her to other pet owners.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I typically do not take dogs on a walk, but I will if I trust the dog enough. If we do go for a walk, it would be just in the neighborhood where we live. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Please bring your pets bed for him/her to sleep in. Although we love dogs, we do not like to share our bed. Your pup will sleep soundly in his bed on the floor. For those that need it, we may have to crate at night. Time I'll spend with your dog There will be someone with your pet all day while staying with me. My husband has the privilege of working from home so if I cannot be home, he will.
