Pet Boarding Waterloo

“Amber was amazing! Her and her family helped take great care of my 3 month old pup for a few days while we were in the process of moving. She was super accommodating and helpful, taking him in just hours after us contacting her very last minute while stressed trying to figure out what to do with him. Taking in his “puppy shenanigans” and all like he was one of her own. Amber made sure to keep me updated about how his was doing helping to ease my mind of having him away from home for the first time. Sending me pictures/videos and messages about how his day was going. She also took the time to make sure that my pup was comfortable and entertained. Taking him on walks and being able to run around and play in the yard. Letting him go at his own pace and doing what made him feel safe when he didn’t like the rain or was was scared by her dog at first (he wasn’t the biggest one around anymore and couldn’t terrorize/annoy every living thing like he normally likes to do). She even went the extra mile to wash his bed after an accident over night and have him and all of his stuff packed up nicely and ready to go for me when I got there. My little boy loved playing with her and her family. And having the other dogs around for him to interact with was a bonus. When I tell you he was so excited when he first met them that I didn’t even get a second look over the shoulder or a goodbye before he took off to play with one of the kids ? (I’m still emotionally processing his betrayal ?). I could not recommend Amber enough! Your pet will be greatly taken care of (Not to mention worn out….he’s been napping since the moment we put him in the car) and all of your worries will fade the moment you get there.”

About: I’ve been an animal lover and care taker as long as I can remember. I grew up in the country and was always finding stray animals that needed nursed back to health. I have a very flexible schedule right now. Can do any time of day, any day of the week. I am extremely active and love playing and walking with animals. I will follow instructions to a tee no matter how specific. There will never be judgment. I will remain extremely cautious and present in my interactions.

“Great experience working with Kris again for Clementine! Kris was even kind enough to drop off Clementine at home for us since our flight was getting in late and we live a little ways away. Will definitely use her again as a sitter!”

About: I have taken care of pets my whole life. My Dad went to school to be a Veterinarian, so we have always been around different animals. I have two cats at home, and recently just lost my beloved dog, Lexi! I currently work as a flight instructor so my schedule is very flexible! I typically start later in the day or early in the morning. Plenty of time to help out!! I can walk, feed, clean-up after any pets. I have no preference, little, big, cats and dogs. I am able to understand pets all have very special needs and want to fulfill those.

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. Growing up, I cared for rabbits, hamsters, mice, and a pet rat. Today I share my home with my 13 year old cat, Meeko, and my housemate’s friendly 12 year old dog. I recently said goodbye to my senior cat after 16 wonderful years together. During the last few years of his life, I administered medication multiple times a day and became experienced in caring for an aging pet with extra medical needs. That experience strengthened my patience, attention to detail, and understanding that every pet deserves individualized, compassionate care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll treat them with the same love and respect I give my own pets. I work full-time during the week 8:30-4:30, so I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks before and after work (6-7:30 AM, and after 4:30 pm M-F), as well as most weekends and holidays. I also offer limited weekend boarding for one dog at a time so I can provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to be flexible while making sure every pet receives the time and attention they deserve. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know pets thrive on routine, so I’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and walks to medications, favorite toys, and bedtime routines. During drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of affection. I understand that having a stranger in the house can be stressful for both pets and owners, so I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. For boarding, I have a securely fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play. I only accept one boarding dog at a time so I can provide a calm, personalized experience and ensure every pet receives plenty of attention. My home also includes my cat and my housemate’s dog, so I only accept dogs that are comfortable around cats and other dogs. This helps create a calm, safe environment for everyone.

“Ricardo (and Maggie) were awesome with Leo. He clearly was engaged until he could just do no more. Ricardo hosted him during a football game for us, and Leo slept the 4.5 hour drive home and then through out the night and long into the next morning! I definitely hope to be able to have him host Leo for us again when we are back in Madison.”

“My boy had the BEST time with Manjusha & Midhun! They went above and beyond caring for him - several photo/video updates, walks, treats, and cuddles. They made sure he was comfortable, loved, and spoiled as much as possible during his stay and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Zero complaints and highly, highly recommend! ❤️🥰”

“Anne and Patrick were great with my two dogs, Maui and Sheila. They sent lots of pics and I just know that my dogs had a great time and were well cared for. They also got plenty of attention from their kids which I'm sure both the kids and my doggies loved. I would absolutely use them again and recommend them to others looking for a sitter in the area.”

“Katherine was fantastic!! Drop off was super quick and easy, and I got a bunch of great pictures throughout the day of my kitty enjoying her stay. I’d recommend to anyone who’s in need of boarding!”

“Very smooth stay. Excellent communication, flexibility in start and end times. Lovely companion dog. Delphie, as a special friend for our dog. Kristina also is wonderful - enthusiastic and friendly, communicated promptly when she had a question. Highly recommend.”

About: Hello! My name is Audrey, and I'm 29 years old. I've spent over five years working at a doggy daycare, a passion that began long before I was officially hired. My parents opened this daycare in the mid 2000s, so I was fortunate enough to be able to come around and help out, or just spend time with the dogs throughout my teen years. From this I was able to gain invaluable hands-on experience with a variety of dogs. My lifelong experience with both dogs and cats ensures that I can provide top-notch care for your furry friends. During my time at the daycare, I encountered dogs of all energy levels, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. From puppies to senior dogs, and from calm to highly anxious pets. I'm skilled in administering medication, feeding, and monitoring for any unusual behavior. Having cared for hundreds of pets, each with their unique personalities and needs, I am dedicated to meeting and exceeding your expectations. I look forward to meeting and caring for more wonderful pets! I am currently working remotely which allows me the the flexibility to go wherever needed as well as be home with the animals for a majority of the day. This means I am able to give potty breaks or food/medication any time of day. However, some week days I play sports in the afternoons. This would only be for an hour or 2 at most, generally between 6-9. I feel very confident in my ability to make sure your pets are safe during my visits! Working with dogs for many years, I have a good sense of what to watch for and how to make sure your animals are happy and healthy. I am constantly aware of mine and your animals surroundings when I am doing a job and I try to be very cautious and attentive in order to make sure they don't get hurt, escape, etc.

“Gina is great! We did a meet and greet first so her and my dogs could get acquainted, and to make sure it would be safe for all. She sent me pics of my boys while I was away and I really appreciated that! She treated my boys like her own fur babies! I highly recommend Gina! 5 stars for sure!”

“Julie & her family were AMAZING with our girl! We got pictures everyday from their walk & naps. It was such a relief to know our dog was taken care of and in the best of hands. 100% will book with Julie again!”

“Rachel was fantastic. Oakley was at home the second he met her. I would recommend her for anyone around the Madison area!”

Lane M.

“Ruby stayed with Ben and his pack the first week in March. We were comfortable leaving Ruby with Ben. We got daily pictures and videos of Ruby getting to roam around in the fenced back yard. We know Ruby was well taken care of. We look forward to using Ben in the future.”

“Wanqing has been our daycare sitter for a while now, this was our first boarding stay. We were scared at first due to a previous bad experience on Rover, but Wanqing was very responsive over text and made us feel very reassured. We would highly recommend Wanqing, she gives all the pets in her home so much love and attention. Our dog does not come home super tired, but he always looks so content and behaves so well after coming back from Wanqing's place.”

About: I’ve been working with animals for over 10 years and have 8 years of experience as a dog trainer. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and medical histories, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. My goal is to ensure that both you and your dog feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for during our time together. 😊 I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, hands-on care for the pets staying with me. :) Each pet receives individualized one-on-one attention (or family time together for pets from the same household) to help them feel comfortable, safe, and loved during their stay. Dogs are given frequent potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and downtime throughout the day to support proper decompression and make their stay as happy and stress-free as possible. I require a one-night trial stay OR a drop-in day for all new dogs before booking a longer stay. This helps ensure your dog feels comfortable in my home, as new environments, sights, and smells can sometimes trigger different emotional responses. My goal is to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, secure, and relaxed. :) I provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. At my home, dogs have access to a fenced outdoor area for potty breaks, playtime, and exercise throughout the day. At night, pets stay in roomy kennels located in a quiet, temperature-controlled space to ensure they can rest comfortably and safely. Kennels will also be used during the day if I need to briefly step out of the house, or for breaks throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual routine and needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise preferences, and any special care instructions. I also encourage owners to bring familiar items such as beds, toys, treats, or food to help their dog feel more at home during their stay. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I strive to make sure every pet receives patient, attentive care tailored to them. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or specific requests!
