The Dogfather

Pet care experience

Growing up we had an Irish setter and a golden retriever mix as our first family dogs. My mom always put our dogs needs ahead of her own and took exceptional care of them. I learned a lot about dogs from watching her. When I was around 10 we adopted a lab mix and a golden retriever within a year of each other. My parents both had to work a lot then and as I got older it became mainly my responsibility to take care of our dogs. I learned hands on how hard but also how rewarding dogs can be. I haven’t seen it all in my 37 years of life but I’ve seen enough to feel confident that your dog(s) will be safe and comfortable with us for daycare or boarding. In December of 2020 I adopted a Shiba Inu puppy (Yoshi). We live in a quiet neighborhood on the east side of Madison in a spacious house with a fenced in yard. I joined Rover in November of 2022 because I wanted to help provide other dog owners with a safe and loving place to bring their dogs for daycare or boarding. I am luckily to be able to work from home full time and can accommodate most requests as well as be very flexible with pickup and drop off times.

Tony cares for Jazz the way he does for his own sweet dog. He keeps me informed of the day's highlights and sends lots of pix. I feel confident that Jazz is well-cared for and gets lots of indoor & outdoor exercise.

Tony is super with my little Jazzy Pants. He has a beautiful, friendly dog of his own. He works from home so he's there all day. Great fenced yard for the dogs to play.
