“Okay, if you need a sitter or boarding, look no further! I was so lucky to find Janice and Mark at the last minute while passing through Madison. They have a great house, yard and walkable neighborhood all of which my Trixie must have loved because she was not that worried about coming home with me. I was so grateful and felt lucky to have met them!”
“Skipper had a blast with Christine. She is very attentive and very calm. She responded quickly to my inquiry. She is perfect for a dog with anxiety issues. I appreciated her flexibility and her requirement to see vaccination records. Skipper loved having other dogs to play with and we loved getting photos during his stay. We will definitely call on her again for Skipper's staycation! ”

“Malena and her family were SO helpful and kind when they took care of my dog! My other sitter bailed last minute and I had a flight to catch and she totally bailed me out over Christmas.

“I am so glad we chose Cleda to watch our sweet girl Coda during our week-long trip. I was so nervous to leave her, as she is a shy, anxious pup and this was her first time away from us since we adopted her. But from Cleda's first picture update less than an hour after we dropped her off, I could tell Coda was in the best hands and already comfortable with Cleda. We so appreciated Cleda's daily updates and we felt like we could really tell Coda was enjoying her stay and what she was up to. We definitely plan to return to Cleda for all future dog-sitting needs, and we know our pup will be so happy about that! Thanks Cleda & Roxie!”
“Lee was great. He took great care of our dog and gave us status updates, and was very flexible with pick up and drop off. We will definitely book again!”
About: Whether your dog is shy, elderly, boisterous, or just wants to sniff, my home and back yard are a fun and welcoming spaces for them to just be themselves. I’ve taken more than a dozen training classes with Dogs Best Friend Training, volunteered with Fetch Wisconsin, and cared for several beloved coonhounds, a Giant Schnauzer, and a few mutts, from puppyhood to the Rainbow Bridge. I have a special spot in my heart for older dogs, and even have a ramp exit from my home into the back yard, should anyone’s legs not do stairs. My current pup is a 35-lb terrier/pittie mix rescue I foster-failed with from FetchWI. She loves other dogs and is available for play at any time. I work from home full-time, leaving only for short errands, generally less than two hours every few days. Dogs at my house get frequent potty breaks and playtime in the spacious fenced back yard. Dogs are never left unsupervised outdoors. They can play with my resident dog, who is a very friendly gal with the motto “Delta Delta Delta can I help ya help ya help ya?”. If I have to be gone for a bit there is plenty of room to crate them, or possibly keep them in a separate space. Water is available at all times, indoors and out. For now, I am only accepting one guest dog at a time for daycare or overnight stays. Dropoff and pickup times are 7-9am and 4-6pm Monday through Saturday. Dogs can choose to spend time indoors or out, weather permitting. They can smell the ferns, check out the rain garden, play in the grass, run around under the firs, and say hello to the kids next door. They can zoom around with my resident dog, chill out on the deck or play toss and fetch with me. Indoors they can explore my downstairs and rest on a dog bed, or hang out near me on the futon or the bed. If the weather is too bad for outdoor play I can do informal training and play scent games with them. Dogs that stay three days or more will get a free bath unless requested otherwise.

“I’ve known Julie for decades and all of her dogs and cats! If reincarnation is real I want to come back as her dog (or cat😍). Her compassion, knowledge and experience with dogs runs deep. I bring my shy sensitive dog to visit and hang out at her home as often as I can. Julie immediately understood how to interact with Gemma to put her at ease and make her feel comfortable, safe and HAPPY. Her home and yard is doggie heaven. It’s designed to allow a dog to be a dog, to be safe and to have cozy play filled interactions with humans. Her homemade dog treats are a bonus! It is with 100 percent confidence I recommend her.”
