Doggy Day Care in Richfield

“Maria and Nayibe were absolute lifesavers! They were available last minute to watch our dog while we went on vacation to catch a baseball game, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup was well taken care of. They sent regular updates with videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and clearly cared about our dog as if he were their own. As a generous surprise, they even sent us home with a pack of treats for our road trip back—such a kind and thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t recommend Maria and Nayibe more highly and would absolutely trust them again in the future!”

“This was my 1st time leaving my dogs with a sitter I didn't personally know. I was nervous, but they LOVED it! Mary & her family treated them like their own. They were exhausted everyday from playing with the other dogs and seemed excited to go back. I received daily updates & photos when they were there. It allowed me to have fun on my vacation because I knew they were happy! Thank you Mary ❤”

“We had a great first experience with Randy and his dog sitting services. He is kind and laid back and you can tell he really loves dogs. Our Wylie was completely pooped out when we got him home, which is always our gauge for him having fun. It's almist noon the following day and he is still resting. He is very high energy so we know he got lots of play time and positive interaction. Looking forward to future visits!”

About: 🐾 Buddy’s Boarding — Where Pets Feel at Home Hi! We're Percy and Darik — two experienced pet lovers offering premium dog boarding from our home in Brown Deer. One of us is home full-time, giving us the flexibility to provide reliable, personalized care for every pup we host. 🐶 Why pet parents love Buddy’s Boarding: • Spacious yard with a partially fenced area for play and potty breaks • Flexible pick-up/drop-off times with clear communication • Convenient location — just 10 minutes from I-43 and Hwy 41 • Quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and green space • Two attentive, dog-experienced sitters under one roof • Access to a dog-friendly pool (summer months only, supervised, optional) ✨ Our Story Buddy’s Boarding is named after the dog that started it all. At 10 years old, I found Buddy as a stray near my dad’s business and begged my mom to let us keep him. She said yes — and from that moment on, my bond with animals was sealed. That connection still fuels the love and care we give every dog who stays with us. Whether your pup is active and playful or chill and cuddly, we tailor each stay to their needs. Let us know your dog’s routine and preferences — we’re happy to accommodate. We can’t wait to welcome your dog into our home. 🐾 👉 Send us a request to get started — we’d love to meet your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. My partner Darik works from home as a graphic designer, so there’s always someone present to supervise and care for the dogs. I work part-time as a dog handler in the mornings, which means I bring both experience and structure to our day. Between the two of us, we’re able to give pets plenty of attention, play, and potty breaks throughout the day — with flexibility for early drop-offs, midday walks, and evening wind-downs. It’s a rhythm that’s built around making dogs feel safe, happy, and at home. Safety We prioritize safety by pet-proofing our home, keeping hazardous items out of reach, and supervising pets at all times. Whether it’s backyard play or a leashed walk, we ensure dogs are always in secure, pet-friendly environments. We also tailor safety measures to each dog’s personality, energy level, and needs. Trust Building trust with both pets and their people is at the heart of what we do. We take time to understand each dog’s routine and preferences, and we maintain regular communication with pet parents — sharing updates and photos so they always feel connected and confident in our care. Environment Our home is clean, cozy, and designed with dogs in mind — with plenty of space to move, comfy spots to rest, and loving attention throughout the day. We create a calm, positive environment and adjust our approach to meet each dog where they’re at. If we’re caring for pets in their home, we follow their routine closely to ensure they feel safe, secure, and comfortable in their own space.

About: I've had dogs most of my life. My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is 3 years old and loves a friend. I have an 11 year old daughter that will also provide lots of love. Your dog won't just be boarded, they'll become a part of the family. No kennels necessary, they can sleep with me! I'm a stay at home mom. I love taking my dog out for walks around my quiet, dog friendly neighborhood. I'm home almost all the time. I'd love another doggy friend to visit us! I have tie outs for the dogs when they'd like fresh air. We go on walks as needed....and we can walk more if your dog loves it like mine does!

“Samantha was awesome! Would definitely use again”

“Thank you Rita and Dan for being amazing dog sitters. They truly care for your pup and we had no concerns whatsoever about leaving Flora in their care. We loved the photos they provided so we could see how she was doing. Flora had the best time and honestly didn’t want to leave! Definitely will be rebooking in the future ?”

About: Love to walk, run or go on hikes often depending on your request! Happy to assist your pet while you are away and send lots of updates! If visits are needed during the weekend and/or when school is off my three children will likely be joining me to help. I’m available full time, typically start dog runs at 9:00am and love to go on hikes (weather permitting) I am open to any additional pet requests. We have a large grassed yard with access to the lake for swimming and dock jumping. Additionally, daily walks and runs on leash. Lots of extra pet supplies if needed.

About: About Me There’s truly nothing I love more than being around dogs—I absolutely melt for these furry friends! I’m all about cuddles, love, and full-on affection. I’m intense in the best way when it comes to giving dogs the attention they deserve. With me, your dog will be treated like family—loved, cared for, and cherished every moment we’re together. My Care Philosophy Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I always ensure they’re properly fed, get enough rest after each meal, and enjoy just the right amount of exercise—never mixing meals and playtime to avoid any tummy troubles. I follow a structured schedule tailored to each dog’s needs, because I believe dogs thrive with routine. This way, it’s easy to keep track of their health, mood, and happiness. Why You Can Trust Me Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it’s my full-time job and my biggest passion. That means your dog will never be left without attention; I check in with them often and make sure they're doing great throughout the day. I welcome all kinds of dogs, no matter the size, breed, or age. I'm also the proud parent of a 5-year-old Great Dane named Astor. Managing such a large and spirited companion has taught me a lot—it’s not for the faint-hearted! But that’s why I consider myself truly experienced and confident in handling all types of dogs with love, patience, and skill. Boarding & Walk Policy If you're considering boarding with me, please note that I only host one dog per night in addition to my own—Astor—so your pup will get plenty of attention and space. The same goes for walks: I keep it personal and safe by walking just one guest dog at a time alongside Astor. This way, I can give each dog the focused care and calm environment they deserve. Extra Love & Comfort You'll get plenty of photos and updates while your dog is with me—I know how comforting it is to see your pup happy and relaxed. And yes, dogs are absolutely allowed on the furniture! Whether it’s snuggling on the couch or napping by my side, your dog will feel completely at home. Pet care is my daily routine—this is my full-time job and my biggest passion. My days are fully centered around the pets I care for, which means they get lots of attention, love, and consistency throughout the day. I plan my schedule based on their needs, making sure there's time for feeding, rest, play, walks, and cuddles. Because this is what I do every day, I'm always available to check in on them, stick to their routines, and adjust to anything special they might need. Your pet won’t just be part of my routine—they’ll be the heart of it. I live in apartment so there is no way for doggy’s to be escape, I always keep the door closed. Also if we go for a walk your dog will be always with leash.

About: I had my own dog for about four years and would love to take him on walks and play fetch, teach him tricks, and run around outside. His name was Rex. He slept with me every night and loved to cuddle! I dogsit for my aunts dog as well. Whenever she goes out of town or wants to go on a vacation I am always the first person she goes to for a dogsitter. I love being outside and taking walks. I also have a cat who lives with my mom right now. I always take care of her if my mom is out of town as well. I used to live with three big dogs and one cat that I would also care for while my roommates were gone. I am currently working as a barista and babysitting sometimes as well. It all really depends, but for the most part I am available to pet sit when needed. When my aunt leaves town, I stay at her house so I am around the dog most of the time unless I go to work.
