Dog Boarding in Menomonie

“Our dog Brownie who is a former abused rescue had a great visit with Marissa. She took wonderful care of him, sent us photo updates and made him feel at home. Thanks Marissa!”

“Pat was so happy here! Here was able to be in a setting almost like home. I love that he could skip the long car trip and be comfy and happy.”

Renee K.

“Patricia and her husband were very kind and kept us updated on our dog while we were traveling. We ended up coming later than expected. They were flexible and accommodating when we had to change the pick up schedule. We would reccomend Patricia to anyone who's looking for a dog sitter :)”

Vichai C.

“Heidi took such good care of my dog for a long weekend. She got plenty of exercise and play time I got updates every day which I loved. Definitely will be having Heidi watch my dog again.”

Stephanie E.

“Highly recommend. Very responsive throughout booking process and with updates during our pets stay. Diego came home happy and exhausted from all the fun he had. Would definitely book with Alex again”

“Elizabeth welcomed us and our Sadie into her home and we felt very comfortable leaving her. She sent pictures to reassure us that she was doing well! Sadie was exhausted after her weekend with Elizabeth which tells us that she had a lot of fun and was very active! We will definitely be checking to see if Elizabeth is available the next time we need someone to watch Sadie. Thank you Elizabeth!”

Cathy & Terry S.

“Jennifer was accomodating with my chaotic schedule and super kind, to boot. My dogs are home and worn out from playing with hers, but they are happy and they were safe. I’d reccommend her as a dog sitter any day.”

Jennifer T.

“Jacob took the best care of our golden retriever, Nala, while we were gone for 8 days for our destination wedding! She loved playing in his fenced in backyard (which we saw in pictures he sent us). It was so nice leaving her knowing that Jacob works from home and would give her all of the attention outside of his working day (although I’m sure Nala tried to distract him during work too LOL). Couldn’t recommend anyone better to take care of your loved pet!!”

Presley H.

“This was the first time Tiffany has watched Macey and everything was great! The meet-and-greet prior to Macey's stay couldn't have gone better. Macey loved Tiffany from the start! We received many photos throughout Macey's stay and could tell she had made herself at home there. We would definitely use Tiffany again.”

Andrea S.

“My Sophie is a special needs dog being blind and diabetic. Jasmine and Brittany took such good care of her and I am so appreciative of their excellent, loving care. I won’t hesitate to use their service again. Thanks to both of them.”

Joan K.

“Our dog Zero had such a good time at Amanda's, we actually felt guilty picking him up! Amanda shared regular updates and photos, and, while she maintained Zero's normal routine of walks, meals, and sleep, the extra play and snuggle time the family gave Zero clearly made him one content, tuckered out pup. We would definitely bring Zero to Amanda's for boarding again in the future.”

Kristen R.

“Molly was wonderful with our dog. We had a meet and greet first and Molly was great with updates throughout the week. I’d definitely recommend her!”

Sarah L.

“My favorite thing was her keeping us connected with our dogs every day! Despite being on vacation, they are important to us so getting daily pics/updates/hellos was really wonderful! She kept them active and they appeared to have a blast! Will definitely reach out again!”

Jessica L.

“Tawni was very communicative the entire time. She spoiled our little Keesha like she was her own. I will definitely be using Tawni again in the future!”

Alyssa T.

“Ali took very good care of our dog. She even groomed her which was Zoey's first time and she did an awesome job. Thank you very much for everything.”

About: I'm a 21 year old college student who has always had a deep love for animals, and I plan on working with them for the rest of my life. I’ve worked in the Pet Care department at PetSmart—including cat adoptions—for over 2.5 years, and I’m currently a doggy daycare attendant and groomer at Waggin’ Tails in Menomonie, where I’ve been for the past 8 months. Each day, I care for groups of 15+ dogs, making sure they’re not only safe, but having fun, getting the enrichment they need, and going home happy and well-cared for. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs, from energetic puppies to sweet seniors, as well as dogs who are deaf, blind, anxious, or need a little extra patience. This has given me valuable experience with dog behavior, basic training, crate and kennel handling, grooming, hygiene, and more. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, and now that I’m in college and living in an apartment, I truly cherish my time working with animals. I recently adopted two sweet cats, and they tolerate dogs, though due to my small apartment size, I usually prefer pet sitting or visits at your home. That said, depending on the pet, I’m open to discussing care in my space as well. In addition to my dog care experience, I have extensive knowledge and hands-on experience with a variety of pets, including birds, small animals, reptiles, and fish. I’m a proud crested gecko and frog mama, and have a well-maintained fish tank. This broad experience has deepened my understanding of the specific needs and care requirements of different types of animals, allowing me to provide well-rounded care for all kinds of pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in for feeding and play, or full-time care while you’re away, I will treat them like one of my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. I believe working with animals is my true calling, and I would be honored to meet your pet and be part of their care team! I work at Waggin’ Tails Doggy Daycare on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I have a very flexible schedule and am available for pet care—including evenings and weekends. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities—whether they’re in my care at your home or mine. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with two cats who tolerate dogs. While my apartment is small and cozy, it has a large yard just outside my door (unfortunately, it’s not fenced), I’m open to hosting dogs depending on their temperament and needs. However, due to my cats’ personalities, I’m unable to house additional cats at my home. That said, I typically prefer caring for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they feel most secure. I offer a variety of services, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, enrichment activities, and even administering medication or supplements if needed. I have personal experience with administering daily medications to my own cats, so I’m gentle and thorough with this process. When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and follow any specific routines or care instructions you provide. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, secure, and loved while you’re away.

“This was our Sophie’s first overnight stay at a boarding home (Sophie is 9 months old). I love that she was exposed to a farm home setting with other dogs, cats, cows, and a family that included kids for her to play with. Socialization was important to us, and I am happy to say that Sophie came home tired and happy, and I am sure will be ready to visit Katie and her family again in the near future. Thank you, Katie, for making this a positive experience for our pup.”

“Dylan does a fabulous job caring for our little shihtzu. He is very responsive and informed. Our little dog loves to go to their home. I have no worries while we are away! Thank you, again!”

Natalie L.

“Our pups Loved Gretchen and Amy and their pups/cats! Such a wonderful place to leave our pets when we can’t take them! We will certainly be back!! They sent a couple pictures which made us know that we left our pups in great hands!!”

“Kennedi has such a joyful presence—humble, responsible, and clearly a true dog lover! It was obvious from her profile, and even more so when we met her, that she genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and was excited to make a new pup friend. We were so grateful that she was available on short notice—just a week before our weekend trip. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and proactive, asking thoughtful questions to ensure a smooth transition for our pup. We sent her a document ahead of time to help her get to know Maple, and she not only reviewed it carefully but also followed up with insightful questions. During Maple’s stay, she made sure she got plenty of activity and fun. We loved receiving photo updates of a happy, relaxed Maple, which truly put our minds at ease. As a former Rover sitter myself, I can confidently say Kennedi is everything you'd want in a pet sitter. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
