Doggy Day Care in Norman Acres, Madison, WI

“I just can't say enough about how amazing Sarah and Zach are and how much it means to us to have our active social 1 1/2 year old lab in their care. They understand him, take care of him as one of their own and make it so easy to coordinate and communicate.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our pups! And on such short notice as well! I’m sure we’ll need another dog-sitter soon and we’d love to have you watch Ghost and Kai again ?.”

“My 7-month-old Jazzy Girl whines in excitement when we arrive at Suellen's, and once out of the car, she races up the steps, eager to be with her friends, Suellen's dogs, Mia & Wes. They all play well together.”

“Pragyan and Anurag took such wonderful care of my puppy for the day! He had a fantastic time with them!! They were extremely responsive and sent me cute pictures throughout the day so that I knew he was happy and safe!”

“Our dog Halla is a rescue dog and he is very scared and nervous around new people. Robert has watched him few times and I am grateful that he understands that Halla needs time and space to get to know him. I am sure Halla will be in good hands when our family goes on a vacation this summer.”

“My dog had a great day at Tony’s! She was happy to be there and enjoyed playing with his pup. Tony sent pictures and updates during the day. When it was time for pick up, I could see my dog was comfortable going in and out of his house and was happy to be there. Tony answered all our questions and is easy to work with. We will be using Tony again until the future!”

“Megan was amazing and so, so flexible with her schedule last minute! Would highly recommend”

“My pup Popsicle loves Cynthia and gets so excited to see her! Cynthia gives excellent ‘pupdates’ and is super-communicative, so when you’re away from your pup (and missing them), you’ll get beautiful pics and updates. She treats my pup like family, and I’ve hired her again and again!”

“Kara is so wonderful with Birdie. She is patient and caring, and her home provides a wonderful space for Birdie to play with other dogs. Birdie is always super excited to go to Kara’s house.”

“Amy took care of our little dog for doggie day care. She has a great set up and is very professional. Nice fenced in back yard with plenty of space for the pups to run around. Comfortable inside too and lots of attention paid to the dogs. Highly recommend!”

“AJ (Julie) was so great!! My Rambo and her Duncan played all day each day of his 4 days in her care & AJ sent me the funniest, cutest photos of the two of them. She even takes them to the park! Rambo comes home absolutely exhausted each day which is pretty fantastic!”

“Gary is one of the most patient people i have ever met. His presence alone has a calming effect, not only on humans but on dogs as well. I foster dogs, and Gary has helped me care for them when needed. Foster dogs can sometimes have behavioral issues due to their unknown background, but Gary does a fantastic job at making dogs feel more calm and comfortable. He bonds really quickly with any dog he meets, and he’s even more patient than I am. He has even bonded with my very difficult Pomeranian/chihuahua mix, who used to nip at Jj him, but she now goes as far as to share the bed him :)”

About: I've taken care of and watched dogs since I was a teenager. My parents have had Saint Bernard Great Dane mixed breed dogs so I have a lot of experience dealing with giant breed dogs. When my parents current dog was a puppy, I had a lot of one on one time taking care of her especially when she was a puppy and first coming home because my parents were working and I was on summer break, this has given me an intimate understanding of the needs of puppies and how to take care of them. My parents have also always had cats and they don't always get along with the dog which has given me a lot of experience managing animals in conflict while working to make them more comfortable and get along more. I've also done a lot of work watching my partner's family dog which has given me a lot of experience dealing with dog reactivity and aggression and learning how to calm dogs down. I'm currently in between jobs so I have all of the time in the world to watch your pet! Amy schedule is incredibly flexible and I can be available for drop in visits, sitting, and other services in general and especially on weekends I can easily crate a dog if needed and I also love getting to lay on the couch or in bed with a puppy if they're allowed. I do have two cats but they can be kept in a bedroom and not interact with a dog if they are not cat friendly. If they are cat friendly, my cats love to play and would be really interested in meeting and cuddling with more dogs!

“Carla is the best dog sitter I have had! She was so attentive to my pup and really tried to bring extra love each time she helped us out.”

“I'm thrilled I found this family to take care of my chocolate lab. Came to Madison for a wedding looking to find someone to wear out my dog. I sure did find great family. They have nice size property for her to run around, toys , and a bonus kiddie water pool. I picked her up and she fell asleep right away before we made it too the hotel. Thank you. I will use them again whenever I'm back in Madison.”

“Divya is an amazing dog mom She watched my dog, Reece, and he had an absolute blast with her and her dog Veeru! If I ever need someone to watch Reece, Divya will be the first on the list.”

“Nicole and her kids were great. They were very kind and caring with my dog snooper. They have two other dogs that of course want to protect their owner .. but Nicole was careful to keep them on leash or contained during meet n greet. She thoughtfully considered my apprehension about leaving snooper with 3 dogs (they had another for day care I learned later) and figured out ways to keep the dogs separated. The kids were so loving to little snooper I think he had a lot of private attention! Nicole sets a great example for dog care for her kids—- as did her father who was around during meet and greet. So nice to see children take such loving interest in animals.”

“Joan is my neighbor and has consistently shown love and care for her dogs as well as mine. When she watched our dog Turtle during a vacation, she periodically sent us photos to show Turtle playing with her own dogs and relaxing with the family in the evening in a dog bed provided by her. I observe her walking her dogs regularly, responsibly keeping them on leashes while also providing them with a safe, fenced in yard for other outdoor time. I hear Joan talking with genuine affection about other dogs she has watched and walks. I think she is perfect for this kind of position.”

“Ella was really sweet for helping me find a sitter last minute. Her communication before, during, and after was impeccable! It made me feel assured that Remy was in good hands while in her care. I highly recommend!”
