Dog Boarding in Shell Lake, WI

“Sarah was just great with our cockapoo and super nice, too. We sure appreciated that she could help us out boarding Winnie on a quick and unexpected short visit out of town. We would recommend her, but if you're reading this, don't take all of her open calendar spots because we'd love to use her again!!”

“I would highly recommend Harley if you need a dog sitter! She was responsive to our requests as to how our Stella was doing while we were out of town. And Stella was well taken care of. Thank you Harley!!!”

About: Hello! I'll get right to it, I'm a dog trainer specializing in building members of the family. I am also a CGC Evaluator (Canine Good Citizen), so if you're looking for someone to help you throughout that process or if you're confident in your doggo and are ready to test, I'm your guy! I'm also a member as well as a Tester and Observer for The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. So if you end up getting an itch to volunteer, I will be able to certify and guide your team along the way! Assuming you pass our test that is 😉 Now as a travelling trainer I sometimes take on a few extra gigs like this to make ends meet. My personal dog Buddha is a service dog who has passed the PAT (Public Access Test). He is also a registered Therapy Dog through: The Alliance of Therapy Dogs. We are insured through the: Business Insurers of the Carolinas. He has the following titles: DN (Dock Diving Novice), FDG (Fit Dog Gold and below), TKP (Trick Canine Performer and below), VHM (Virtual Home Manners), CGC (Canine Good Citizen), CGCA (Canine Good Citizen Advanced), CGCU (Canine Good Citizen Urban), THDN (Therapy Dog) and THD (Therapy Dog). Buddha is now almost 5 yrs old. I also offer a stud service with Buddha if anyone is interested we can talk details through text, call, email, or Meet and. Greet style. What I'm saying is that if you'd like we could talk about my services as a trainer as well and I could show you and your little buddy some fun things to do, or perhaps help on something that has been a struggle. Whether it's a new obstacle or an older persistent one, we can overcome it. I free lance as a Pet Trainer and Respite Care Provider. We also work odd jobs for people in town so our schedule is always workable. I’ll have my daughter (almost driving age) with me on a 50/50 schedule as well as I have a service dog for myself. We can talk about this more should we get to that point! Depending on your comfort level, I’ll sometimes work with my girlfriend (also a sitter on Rover) to help complete gigs as well. She will occasionally have her two boys (16 & 14) with her as well. I understand this can be “a lot” so we’d all be more than willing to meet up beforehand to make sure everything would jive and fit together! How ever you instruct. Otherwise we feed, walk, play, and rest at specific times. Pets need and do well with structure. Putting together a good positive routine sets our fluffy buddies up for success.

“Awesome sitter....Daisy came home exhausted from playing and slept til it was dinner time. Alyssa thanks for watching her so we could tend to VA and military appointments in the cities. We will definitely reach out again when we need a sitter. Thanks Donna, Bob, and Daisy 🐾”

“Tyler and Sophia did a great job with Saydee . They gave us frequent updates and pictures with the week long stay. Would use them again”

“Arranging a stay with Sherry for our doggie was easy and flexible. We truly appreciate all the time and care she gave Loki, just like he was accustomed to at home. We had continuous updates via text daily, he went on many walks, played with toys...Sherry is the best, highly recommended!”

About: I’m experienced in senior and medical care, multiple animal care, providing a fun time, and so much more. I have two of my own dogs and a couple cats that are all spoiled. I would love to spoil yours! Monday-Friday I am available to care for animals throughout the whole day. Animals play a huge role in my everyday life and I would enjoy caring for yours. Either in my home or a clients home the animals needs come first. A schedule is set and maintained the entire duration of the stay to minimize stress. When caring for pets in my own home they are kept separate from my resident pets to minimize stress on all animals. Although if owner is comfortable all resident animals are very friendly.
