Pet care experience
Hi! We are Emily and Tim, and our friendly shepherd mutts are Bela and Boris. Emily's been a dog owner since she was five years old, and Tim's been a dog owner since high school. We began fostering dogs for a rescue in college and Emily currently volunteers at the Dane County Humane Society. We have experience with dogs of all sizes and have worked with some dogs coming from former abusive situations to help acclimate them to a forever-home setting through fostering. Our German Shepherd mixes are very friendly and sure to share their toys and couch space to help your special buddy feel right at home. We request a meet-and-greet before your dog comes to stay to make sure everybody gets along, but we've had no issues in the past. We'd be happy to bring your buddy along to the dog park if you like. We've even treated doggy daycare guests to the coveted Puppuccino (free whipped cream cups) at the Starbucks drive-thru! We're happy to provide ample updates and cute photos to keep you up-to-date on your furry friend's adventures while you're away! We are happy to do whatever it takes to make your pal comfortable while you're away. Let us know what their rules are (treats okay? on furniture okay?) and where they'll be the happiest sleeping.
Reviews
Emily took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town, and my dog had a blast with her two sweet pups. Would absolutely book again. Already did!
My dog was super happy with Emily!
Emily was absolutely wonderful! We loved receiving pictures of Tank during the visit and he was well taken care of. She will always be the first person I contact to watch him.
Emily and Tim were wonderful with my dog Emmy. She is a nervous pup who is scared of people. Emmy loved playing with their two dogs, they got to go to the dog park, and she was left to free roam throughout the work day. (I provided a kennel and she is kennel trained, but told them it was up to them) They let Emmy snuggle up in bed with them and their two pups at night to sleep. Within a couple days, Emmy had totally opened up to them. It just goes to show how warm and welcoming they and their pups are. I will definitely be going back to them whenever I need a sitter.

Information Emily G. would like to know about your pet
Would like to set up a meet-and-greet with our German Shepherd mixes before we can accept home visitors. Any allergies? Any no-no's? Does your dog sleep in a crate, or in bed, or anywhere special? They're welcome anywhere, but we just want to stick to what they're comfortable with at home.
A typical day
Our dogs and we are regulars at Sycamore Dog Park. We're happy to bring you along for a playdate! Whatever's your dog's pace. Dogs neighbor our fenced-in yard on three sides, so there's always someone friendly to play with in the yard or adjacent to it!
