“Thank you so much to Kim! Kim was a fantastic dog sitter for our dog Mushi today. She's very friendly and made us feel very comfortable about leaving our lab mix rescue with her while we enjoyed the Milwaukee Zoo. She walked Mushi and also gave us updates as well as pictures. I highly recommend her to watch your dog.”

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.

“Auria is so great with dogs! Our 6 mo old French bulldog has a great time with her and her dog Dallas. She was great giving him special attention today as he is healing a fractured leg, she understood his restrictions and made us feel assured that he was safely able to have fun at her house. This was Tucker’s second stay by Auria and he hates to leave!”

Jill H.

“Having our dog stay with MJ has been a great experience! We recently adopted a dog with fairly severe separation anxiety, and I'm not sure how we would have made it through the first months without having someone like MJ to watch her during the day while we work on alone time training. He's always very communicative and flexible, and our dog just loves him. You couldn't ask for a better dog sitter!”

Julia A.

“Marley loved his morning with Vicki and came home happy, tired from lots of play time, and eager to get more snuggles next time. He has a new BFF!”

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!

“We’ve been so fortunate to have Jan for dog sitting. Our little pooch is always excited to go there and is well taken care of. Never any issues.”

Tyler Z.

“Crystal is excellent. She took great care of our pup, Rufus. She is extremely responsive and flexible. She sent us several photos, which I loved receiving. I am a very over protective dog mom and I trust her with my fur baby. Looking forward to having her sit Rufus whenever we have a need for a sitter.”

“Miranda took care of my dog like nobody would. She was flexible and patient, and I will absolutely take my dear Galleta with her again. Miranda is super reliable and clearly loves animals. Galleta had lots of fun with her dog, Bandit. Thanks a lot for an amazing daycare experience for my dog!”

Tania G.

“Katie and her family are great with dogs! They have two of their own and cared for my dog so well. My dog was walked and fed and got lots of playtime with their puppy. Every thing you could want in a dog sitter!”

About: I have worked with many types of animals my entire life. I spent my younger years working on a farm with lots of farm animals. I’ve worked with almost every kind of dog. I’ve also been pet sitting every since I was a kid for family and neighbors I have currently just moved and am looking to start taking new clients!! I am free everyday at almost any time currently! I always have my phone on me and am available. I would care for your pet just as if it were my own!! I would listen to ALL care instructions to give your animal the best care and to keep them comfortable.

About: About Me Animals have always held a special place in my heart. My family and I have had the joy of sharing our home with dogs, cats—and even a rat! We currently have two lovable rescue pit bulls, Holly (8) and Coco (6), along with 2 sweet cats, Mrs. Klaws and Lucy who keeps us all on our toes. I’m an active person and love spending time outdoors playing with the dogs. Holly and Coco especially enjoy running around the yard and making new doggy friends. Our home is always stocked with treats to reward good behavior, and cuddles are never in short supply. I offer boarding and doggy daycare in a loving, safe, and enriching environment. Whether your pet needs a place to stay while you’re away or just some daytime play, they’ll be treated like family here. And it’s not just dogs—I genuinely love working with cats too. Some of my favorite clients are feline! My toddler and I enjoy spending time playing, snuggling, and making sure every pet feels at home. If you’re looking for a warm, experienced, animal-loving caregiver, I’d be honored to care for your pet! I am a yoga teacher and I work from home so my schedule is pretty relaxed and spacious so I have time to play with your fur baby morning, noon, and/or evening. I care for the pet at in my home and I have love and respect for the pet and their environment. Usually animals love me.

About: I have had multiple dogs through out my life. During high school my family had 4 dogs in the house which were 3 Labs and 1 Bully mix. Since my wife and I moved out we currently live with our doghter, Nala. We also recently adopted our cat, Neo who is sweet and loving towards other dogs. I usually take my dog out during the morning around 7am to 8 am, during the afternoon after the dogs have breakfast, once again during 4 or 5pm, and then one final time before we head to bed around 8pm or 9pm. This is a daily routine for Nala and myself that we have stuck to since she was a puppy and works great for us over all. We usually walk around the block or play in the background as sometimes she doesn't need to potty and just needs that outside enrichment. I currently have a fenced yard for the back yard if the dogs do plan to play. The only part that is not fenced up is the driveway, but for the most part Nala and I do walk so that she can get some steps in and also so she won't poop too much in the backyard. If I am visiting your home I will come respectfully and walk your dog with Nala or without what ever your preference is and also give a detailed check-in of your dog to put your mind at ease.
