The Dogfather
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.

Ratings and reviews
Tony has watched Dessie well over a dozen times in the past year and a half. Though she is typically quite nervous around other humans as a rescue, it’s clear that Tony has earned her love and affection. She has a great time playing with all the other dogs and I love getting photos of her every day while I’m away. Tony is extremely reliable and my go-to whenever I need someone to watch my precious girl.
Tony is amazing! So kind and the kids LOVED the pictures every night. Our dog was well taken care of and very tired when we picked him up. Very grateful for Tony!
Ella had a great stay with Tony and I would leave her there again. She seemed very happy and we enjoyed all the photos while we were on vacation.
We had a great experience with Tony. He sent pics every evening and it was evident our golden retriever had a fun time there. Would definitely recommend!
Tony is amazing! He clearly cares about my dogs and is so good about sending updates and pictures. I can relax knowing the dogs are in good hands!
Charlie has a blast visiting Tony. He looks happy and content in the pictures Tony sends. He's very flexible and goes above and beyond.

Schedule
Taking a long lunch to take the dogs for walk or to the park during the day isn’t a problem. Am home all day so I can keep an eye on them.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard for my 3 year old Shiba to keep your dog company. He is neutered and has all of his shots up to date. He is very well socialized and doesn’t have a problem sharing toys/getting along with other dogs.

A typical day
I live by a nice park to go on walks through and two dog parks within 10 minutes. We also have lots of toys to play with inside and outside
