Pet care experience
Over 1150 dogs in 11.5 years
Thank you for choosing The Dog House for your boarding needs. I have cared for over 1150 dogs in 11.5 years of boarding. The vast majority of these have enjoyed their times with us, as witnessed by the large number of positive reviews we've received. I'll treat your dog with love, kindness and respect. Your dog will be safe, happy, well-exercised and well-cared for during their stay, and excited to see you on your return. Please know that I rarely agree to board a dog without meeting the dog and owner first. I DO NOT wish to board any PIT BULL TERRIERS or PIT BULL MIXES for liability reasons. NOR do I wish to board any puppies under eight months. All dogs MUST be house-trained [potty-, chew- and no digging-trained] and neutered or spayed, for expense reasons. I am currently retired full time and enjoy having guest dogs in our home. We protect and spoil them! HVAC on sun porch for dogs. We have a fenced yard. We will give your dog short [around the block] walks during their stay.. Text us! We specialize in long term stays [up to 2 months so far] and older dogs.

Ratings and reviews
My dogs are anxious travelers and they seemed to have a great time with Val.


I had a great experience with our Rover sitters Val & Sherri) while I was away for a week. They took excellent care of Phoenix, kept me updated with photos and messages, and gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. Phoenix came home happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. I really appreciated their professionalism, communication, and genuine love for animals. I would definitely trust them with Phoenix again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for dependable pet care!

Sarge was so happy to make a new friend and a great change of scenery. Would definitely use Val again while here in Wisconsin!

Always a job well done!

Val and Chari were extremely nice and accommodating and their communication was top notch. Highly recommend.

Always a great stay for Shilo after we drop him off.

Schedule
I am retired. Keep me busy so I have less time for my wife to find things for me to do to fill my day. :)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard for security. We never leave the property with dogs left out in the yard. We give each dog a walk around the block every day. We also keep the dogs warm in winter and cool in summer. Several water bowls are refreshed daily. Blanket-covered couches, chairs and beds are available for dogs to lounge, unless you prefer otherwise.
A typical day
I play with those dogs that enjoy that. I occasionally teach a dog a new trick while they are with us. We give carefully selected treats if the owner approves. We dutifully administer meds when asked to do that.
