“Lenys was wonderful with Tucker! She was super flexible and understanding with a scheduling miscommunication on my end, I super appreciated that. She was also very responsive and kept me updated the whole time I was out”

“Paul was very tuned into Meli’s needs and spent a lot of time playing with her as she has an abundant amount of energy. He provided a lot of photos and videos, which I greatly appreciated and was very flexible with helping us out last minute. Thank you Paul!!”

“We hired Cynthia to house sit for our dog, cat, and chickens for over a week. She did a great job! She spent a ton of time at the house, sent consistent updates, and took great care of our babies. We had our outgoing flight delayed by over a day, and Cynthia was flexible and understanding.”

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. I’m a professional dog handler with experience working with hundreds of dogs of all breeds and temperaments, and Darik works from home full time. Between the two of us, pups are rarely ever alone and always cared for with confidence, attention, and a whole lot of love. 🐶 Why pet parents love Buddy’s Boarding: • Spacious fenced in yard 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 ✨ 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. 🟢 Drop Off & Pick Up Windows 🟢 Monday through Friday 8am to 8pm Weekends 9am to 7pm Pick ups or drop offs outside of the window can be accommodated for an additional fee. 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! Schedule Caring for dogs is our full time focus. Darik provides Rover pet care full time, and I am home the majority of the time, aside from a short shift on Thursday mornings from 6am to noon. This allows us to maintain a calm, attentive environment where dogs are rarely alone and always have someone nearby to meet their needs. 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.

“Tegra made me feel comfortable with leaving my senior pup. She provided photos and communicated with me when the many times I reached out to check in on Tedi. I came home to a happy pup!”

“Kate was excellent!! Will definitely use her again. One of my dogs has high anxiety and they did great together. I can't say enough good things about her.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. They show us so much love. Who are we not to give it back in return. Since the passing of our long time dog (Roc,15) we’ve been watching our friends and family dogs while they’re out of town. In each case the owners return with their dogs a little hesitant about wanting to return home. LOL. I work from home and I have no plans of switching to another job that would require me to go into the office. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with your big and little babies. I also like to take walks at minimum twice a day. This is a perfect time for your fur babies to stretch their legs. After a nice long walk I clean their paws to make sure they leave the yucky stuff outside. I have a designated area where they can sleep. However, I like to keep them close to me during the day while I’m working. I think it sets them up for a positive visit. They immediately become part of the family. I also have the flexibility to take them out throughout the day. There is a highly recommended veterinarian within a two minute driving distance and maybe a ten minute walk in the event of an emergency.

“Jackee is amazing. Need I say more?! She stayed overnight to watch our two dogs, including a spirited puppy. All was perfect. Before the dog-sitting event, Jackee came to our home to meet the dogs, so that she and they would be familiar with each other. This really helped. The overnight stay went well, and the dogs were comfortable in the familiar surroundings of home, even though their "humans" were absent. We so appreciate the competence and warmth that Jackee shared with our dogs.”

“Megan was wonderful with our cat Leo! She cared for him and our home like they were here own. She sent plenty of picture and videos and didn’t hesitate to reach out with questions to make sure Leo got the best care possible. We look forward to working with Megan again!”

Vanessa C.

“Steph was communicative and reliable. She clearly loves cats and understands their behavior and needs. We felt relaxed while away knowing she was watching over things!”

Catherine K.

“Elizabeth was amazing. We need a last minute dog sitter and she came through and saved vacation! She provided plenty of updates, photos, and videos. Our dog sometimes is a little shy coming out of her crate but she loved Elizabeth. We will definitely use Elizabeth's services again!!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and connection I bring to every animal I work with. I have experience with all types of animals, and I treat each one like they’re my own patient, gentle, and fully attentive to their needs. I don’t believe in one size fits all care. I follow your pet’s routine closely and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a great communicator, always keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is truly in good hands. With a calm energy, a clean environment, and genuine passion for animals, I make every pet’s stay a positive and stress free experience. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I build my day around the animals I’m watching. I start and end each day with feeding, potty breaks, and quality time, and I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, play, and exercise throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, check ins, or simply giving them comfort and company, I plan my schedule to stay consistent and reliable. Pets aren’t an “extra” for me they’re a meaningful part of my day, and I make sure their needs are met with patience, love, and structure. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything exactly how their pet is used to. I stick closely to the pet’s daily schedule, maintain their feeding and exercise routine, and make sure they get quality time, attention, and reassurance. No matter where the care takes place, my goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and stress free, just like they’re with family.

“Rayanna was absolutely wonderful! She house sat our puppy over New Year’s eve and was so kind and very respectful of our home. Our girl is still in the midst of training, and requires both close attention and lots of potty breaks and Rayanna handled everything so wonderfully! She even sent us picture updates :) Highly, highly recommend and hope to book with her again in the future.”

Carlie H.

“Stephen and Wipawee watched our dog for the second time. They took excellent care of him. They kept us informed with pictures and updates throughout our trip. They were very respectful of our home and even brought in our mail and took our trash out to the curb. 100% recommend them and will definitely ask them to dog sit again in the future!”

Kristin L.

“Libby was wonderful with taking care of my cat and dog! She made sure they were both safe, fed and exercised. She also did extra house needs, like taking in the mail, watering the flowers and attending to my garbage cans on weekly pick-up! Highly Recommended!”

About: I've been around dogs all my life and love giving them plenty of play time and attention. I also just recently gained experience with puppies. They are my favorites 🙂‍↕️ Availability: Wednesday: 8am to 10:30am/ 5pm to 10pm Thursday: 5pm to 10pm Open availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday If you have any questions or requests outside of my schedule, I will do my best to work with you. I am a student in college currently. I typically do drop ins, I feed according to how the owner wants their pet fed, I play with them as much as possible and give plenty of love and attention

About: Having been surrounded by dogs and cats throughout my life, I've cultivated a profound passion for working with these wonderful companions. While growing up, my mother and I had a cat, but most of my interactions with pets occurred through my grandparents. My grandparents have always had dogs and allowed me to be actively involved in their care, including feeding and walking. This experience nurtured a deep passion and profound appreciation for animals, as they are not just our pets but integral members of our family. I embarked on my first job at McDonald's, where I gained valuable experience in providing excellent customer service. In September of my first college year, I began working at the UW Veterinary Hospital as a kennel worker. This role primarily involved cleaning and providing vet students, vet techs, and doctors with the necessary equipment for treating animals. In the following spring semester, I left the hospital and secured a position as a dog caregiver at Dog Haus University in Madison. I was already familiar with dog behavior, but this job allowed me to gain confidence in recognizing a dog's emotions through their body language. Additionally, I currently work at a doggy daycare in Milwaukee called Unifursity in the same capacity, but with the added responsibility of pottying and feeding dogs since this establishment also offers boarding services. I have experience in petsitting my grandparents' dogs in their home while they were out of town and have demonstrated my ability to maintain their routine. Being at the doggy daycare has allowed me to gain new skills such as properly administering the Bordetella and Distemper vaccination, along with solidifying my skill in maintaining a dogs daily schedule when it comes to feeding, pottying and excerise. Regarding my experience in Madison, opportunities that arose did not align with my housing situation since I did reside in the campus dorms. Patience is a quality I've developed over the years, partly due to having younger siblings who can be quite challenging. My grandma's dog, a large German Shepherd with severe separation anxiety, has given me experience in dealing with dogs who are considered "difficult." Working at the daycare, patience is crucial, as some dogs struggle to follow instructions and require consistent redirection. There have been instances of nervous dogs who were initially wary of strangers, but through careful handling, consistent communication, and positive interactions, I gained their trust while maintaining authority when necessary. I am a full-time student, but I have flexibility on times as my schedule isn’t super demanding. I do work Thursdays, Fridays & Sundays, and I’m able to be accommodating around times if needed. While I do have a full house that could be overwhelming to some pets, as a pet sitter in a client's home, I will follow their guidelines closely which may involve feeding pets according to their usual routine, administering medication if necessary, and engaging in play or exercise activities. I aim to maintain a clean and organized space, respecting the home and the pet owner's preferences. The specific services I offer may vary, so I'm adaptable to the needs of both the pet and the owner. Clear communication and a genuine love for animals guide my approach to pet care, ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets entrusted to my care.

“Jeanne is AMAZING. We got home to happy dog, clean house, an awesome day by day journal, and near daily check ins (that we kept requesting and appreciating). Jeanne is an awesome communicator, kept our house in immaculate condition, and all was well during our vacation. We will 100% use her again and knowing we have a great sitter for Winnie makes me even more inclined to book a future vacation. 100% recommend.”

“As first-time Rover users, we were quite nervous about leaving our golden doodle in someone else's care. However, Cindy quickly put our minds at ease. She was fantastic to work with and followed through on everything we agreed upon. She also sent us some great photos of our baby having fun on walks, which really helped us relax. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, and we highly recommend Cindy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Cindy, for taking such good care of our furry family member!”
