Pet care experience

Big Fenced yard, Dog Vacation spot!

My wife and I have extensive experience with animals, having run dog boarding services and worked at dog daycares. I grew up with various animals, including six dogs, and have always cared for them with love and respect. We’re confident in handling any situation that may arise while caring for pets and treat them like family. Our multi-level home near Dane County Airport offers plenty of space for pets to play and relax, including a large backyard with a 6-foot privacy fence.

Nick and family were fantastic with our dog Iggy, who came home well exercised and relaxed. They have a great house and yard for accommodating the pooches, and their own friendly dog for company is a big plus. On top of it all, super quick and responsive communication throughout.

Nick did a great job looking after my Beagle for the night. She seemed very happy when I picked her up,

Nick and his family took great care of our dog. He sent daily updates with photos and videos. It was an excellent experience!

From start to finish, we had a great experience working with Nick. He is very responsive and was happy to answer any questions that I had. I also had a great time out of town knowing that Kylo was in good hands. Kylo had a blast playing with Nick's dogs, and I was happy to bring home a worn out pup. I definitely plan on booking with Nick again!

Our dog had a great time staying with Nick! She loved playing with the resident dogs and romping in the fenced backyard. Nick was friendly and communicative, and sent us pictures and updates throughout the week we were gone. We would definitely reach out to Nick again next time we need a dogsitter.

Nick was very cooperative with some special requests I had, and was great with my dog. He took amazing care of her, and she was obviously very happy and comfortable in his home. I’m totally happy with his level of concern for her and for the care she received..

A typical day

Tons of running and playtime in the yard and in the house, plenty of cuddles and safe relaxation. Plenty of dog toys and our two friendly dogs to play with. We allow our dogs on furniture, but have plenty of comfy dog beds if you do not want yours on furniture. We take the dogs for walks if they don’t get enough exercise in the backyard.

No breed preferences. Have they been around small children and are they ok with kids? We have a toddler who is great with dogs. Are they social and good with other dogs? We have two dogs who enjoy the company. Are they spayed/neutered? Are they up to date on all vaccinations including bordatella? Do they require any medications or special accommodations? Any personality or behavioral issues that need to be monitored (resource guarding, aggression, digging, chewing furniture, excessive barking, anxiety, eating poop, etc.)?
