Updated 08/03/26: 🐾 🚧 Exciting Update! We're putting the finishing touches on our large, fully fenced yard! The project is expected to be completed by the end of August 2026, giving our Adventure Day and boarding guests even more room to explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. Amelie runs WeFriends K9 full-time, providing professional pet care, behavior-focused training, and rehabilitation services. Her greatest success story is her own rescue dog, who was saved just before being euthanized because of behavioral issues. Through patience, structure, training, and trust, he has transformed into a confident, balanced companion. His journey continues to inspire Amelie's passion for helping dogs reach their full potential. Amelie and her husband, Stephen, have been providing pet care through Rover since 2022, while also working with clients independently. Together, we have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and personalities, including many rescue animals. We truly believe that every animal deserves the same balance, happiness, love, joy, and harmony in life that we all strive for. That philosophy is at the heart of everything we do, whether it's an adventure day, pack walk, daycare, boarding, house sitting at your home, training, or simply spending quality time with each pet in our care. We are loving vegetarians. Amelie previously worked at the Wisconsin Humane Society as an animal care technician and has participated in and volunteered with several international animal rescue organizations. She has experience working with many different types of dogs, cats, and other animals. As Stephen is at school for teaching on the weekdays. Most of the time Amelie will be the one who leads the services. Both sometimes work together and sometimes will be only one person shows up for the services. It is always good to support one another. ❤️❤️ Our Services include; - Adventure Day/ PACK WALK/ Individual Walk - DAYCARE but not a typical daycare! - Boarding (sleep over) at our place - Drop-In for a short period of time at your place - House Sitting (Overnight stay) at your place - Gentle Touch Massage to release stress and tension - Dog Rehabilitation/ Training Since we offer a variety of services, we kindly ask that you read the description for each service carefully before booking. Each service is designed to meet different needs, and the details will help you choose the best fit for you and your dog. 🐾 Adventure Day / Pack Walk — 3–4 Hours | $55 This service isn’t currently listed as an option on R o v e r, but we do! Feel free to message us directly if you’re interested to join the pack or would like more information. Each outing includes: - A few pack walks during the time together - Socialization and decompression time - 3 to 4 hours total including travel and transitions We rotate locations (parks, pet-friendly cafe/store etc.) to provide mental enrichment and new experiences. 🐾 Individual Walk (listed on R o v e r) $30 per 30 mins: We can provide a one-on-one walk or include your dog in a pack walk, depending on time, your preference and what's best for your dog. 🏡 Daycare $75 per day Not your typical daycare! Think of it as a fun day with a purpose—an extended version of our Adventure Day that combines exercise, enrichment, socialization, and training. Our Daycare includes pack walks, structured rest time, enrichment activities, basic training, and supervised social play. After their Adventure Excursion/Pack Walk, dogs spend the afternoon with us enjoying a calm, relaxing environment where they can rest, settle, and continue practicing appropriate behaviors. This balanced routine helps dogs learn not only how to have fun, but also how to switch off and relax after physical and mental activity. This service includes both pick-up and drop-off if you're located along our Adventure Day route. Pick-up and drop-off times may vary depending on the day's schedule, travel route, and the other dogs joining the pack. 🌙 Boarding at Our Home $90 per night ($50 per night for an additional dog) Your dog becomes part of our structured&well-designed home pack. Includes: - Daily pack walks & outings - Calm rest and downtime - Socialization & Enrichment - Structured feeding & routine - Supervised home environment We balance exercise, mental stimulation, and rest based on each dog’s needs. At this time, we prefer boarding dogs who are already part of our Adventure Day, Pack Walk, or Daycare program. This gives us the opportunity to get to know each dog, understand their personality, routine, and individual needs before they stay overnight in our home. If you're interested in boarding with us, we encourage your dog to join an Adventure Day, Pack Walk, or Daycare session before your trip. This helps make the overnight stay much more comfortable and enjoyable for everyone. Our preference is for dogs that are crate trained. However, we're happy to discuss your dog's individual needs during the Meet & Greet. For example, if your dog is reliable sleeping on their own bed in a designated area throughout the night, we're absolutely open to that as well. Our goal is to create a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for every dog staying with us. 🐾💕

Safety, trust & environment
We have a background in dog psychology and training, which helps us understand canine communication, structure routines, and support each dog’s emotional and physical well-being. Our goal is to provide a safe, structured, fun and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and understood. Many pet parents also notice positive changes in their dog’s behavior at home We normally approach animals with calm energy to make them feel safe, secure, relaxed and not feeling too excited, especially the first impression when it comes to Meet & Greet. It is a warm up ritual to build trust and respect, and to get to know and bound with them. ** Fear Free Certified Professional **
Ratings and reviews
This is the second time we have booked Stephen and Wipawee, and once again, they did an excellent job house sitting our dogs! They were attentive, walked our dogs, played with them in the backyard, and showered them with love and affection. We trust them completely and appreciated their dedication to ensuring Cameron and Colby were happy and well cared for. They were also very supportive and accommodating to our needs. Highly recommend!
Stephen and Wipawee watched our dog for the third time. They took excellent care of him. They took him on multiple walks per day, played with him and snuggled him. They kept us updated with photos and messages on how he was doing. They were very respectful of our home and everything was in excellent condition when we returned. We will continue to be repeat customers and can’t say enough good things about them.
Amelie and Stephen - Can't thank you enough for watching the dogs this weekend so we could be there for our family friend up north. I can't tell you how much stress is relieved, knowing that the dogs are with someone we trust. Also, I'm pretty sure you left the house better than how you found it :D You guys rock.
They go ABOVE AND BEYOND for our animals. We are so lucky to have found them!!
Stephen and Wipawee watched our dog for the second time. They took excellent care of him. They kept us informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip. They were very respectful of our home and even brought in our mail and took our trash out to the curb. 100% recommend them and will definitely ask them to dog sit again in the future!
Stephen & Wipawee are the absolute best. Pictures and videos all day, and they left our house better than we left it for them. They even made refrigerator magnets with pictures of our dogs for us!

Schedule
**Adventure Days / Pack Walks are typically held on **Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays** and last about 3–4 hours (occasionally on Mondays or Fridays as well). Please note if we're staying overnight in your home (House Sitting), we'll be away for approximately **4–6 hours** during the day while leading our Adventure Day pack. If your dog is friendly and enjoys being around other dogs, they're welcome to join the Adventure Day with no extra charge! It's a great opportunity for structured exercise, socialization, confidence building, and learning alongside a balanced pack. For **House sitting at your home**, we do our best to adapt our schedule to your pet's normal routine. We'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, bedtime, and any special care your pet may need, so they can stay comfortable in their own home.
