Doggy Day Care in Westchester Gardens, Madison, WI

“We are so grateful we found a great fit for our social and active pup! He played outside with Sarah’s sweet dogs. Great communication and care.❤️”

“My 7-month-old Jazzy Girl whines in excitement when we arrive at Suellen's, and once out of the car, she races up the steps, eager to be with her friends, Suellen's dogs, Mia & Wes. They all play well together.”

“Thank you so much for taking care of our pups! And on such short notice as well! I’m sure we’ll need another dog-sitter soon and we’d love to have you watch Ghost and Kai again ?.”

“Pragyan and Anurag took such wonderful care of my puppy for the day! He had a fantastic time with them!! They were extremely responsive and sent me cute pictures throughout the day so that I knew he was happy and safe!”

“Our dog Halla is a rescue dog and he is very scared and nervous around new people. Robert has watched him few times and I am grateful that he understands that Halla needs time and space to get to know him. I am sure Halla will be in good hands when our family goes on a vacation this summer.”

“Megan was amazing and so, so flexible with her schedule last minute! Would highly recommend”

“My pup Popsicle loves Cynthia and gets so excited to see her! Cynthia gives excellent ‘pupdates’ and is super-communicative, so when you’re away from your pup (and missing them), you’ll get beautiful pics and updates. She treats my pup like family, and I’ve hired her again and again!”

“Tony was so sweet and was so great and accommodating with my dog! I got picture updates during the day and I felt like my dog was in great hands :) would definitely recommend!”

About: I've never not had animals in my house, so I've been a pet-lover since day one! I started walking dogs and sitting as a little side-gig when I was 13 and never looked back. I have lived on farms, in apartments, and in the middle of nowhere, so I have a lot of experience from a lot of different places. Your animals will be loved (adored) and cared for like they are my own. I live in a townhouse with a front and backyard, and close to many dog-friendly trails/hiking paths as well as several off-leash dog parks. I enjoy the outdoors (rain or shine, hot or cold) so if your pet does too, we'll be a great match! I ask that you bring your dog's food, leash, collar and any medications (with instructions!) I do ask that unless it is an absolutely necessary comfort item that you leave any toys or blankets at home so they do not get lost in the shuffle. I have plenty of toys and soft things here for them to play and burrow to their heart's content! I currently work from home, so I am available at pretty much all times for any animal needs. This means its easy to go for long walks, or even a trip to the dog park, pretty much whenever! And cuddles, lots of cuddles. I have an unfenced backyard, but access to a dog park which is very close. I have two very well behaved animals: a ginger domestic shorthair cat named Wanda-Jo and a teddy bear golden dog named Trix. I take pet safety very seriously, and will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and content.

“Kara is so wonderful with Birdie. She is patient and caring, and her home provides a wonderful space for Birdie to play with other dogs. Birdie is always super excited to go to Kara’s house.”

“Guadalupe was very easy to communicate with. I felt comfortable leaving Remy. He seemed to have enjoyed his stay. I definitely recommend this sitter!”

“Small space, huge heart. Julie was great with our exuberant furbabies, Boss and Inja, and they clearly had a wonderful time! While there's not a huge space for them to run, they got plenty of activity and action playing with her and the other pups, and they came home exhausted even after sneaking in snuggles with Julie on the couch. Very happy with their experience and looking forward to them spending more time with Julie, Duncan, and the other visiting pack members!”

About: I've taken care of and watched dogs since I was a teenager. My parents have had Saint Bernard Great Dane mixed breed dogs so I have a lot of experience dealing with giant breed dogs. When my parents current dog was a puppy, I had a lot of one on one time taking care of her especially when she was a puppy and first coming home because my parents were working and I was on summer break, this has given me an intimate understanding of the needs of puppies and how to take care of them. My parents have also always had cats and they don't always get along with the dog which has given me a lot of experience managing animals in conflict while working to make them more comfortable and get along more. I've also done a lot of work watching my partner's family dog which has given me a lot of experience dealing with dog reactivity and aggression and learning how to calm dogs down. I'm currently in between jobs so I have all of the time in the world to watch your pet! Amy schedule is incredibly flexible and I can be available for drop in visits, sitting, and other services in general and especially on weekends I can easily crate a dog if needed and I also love getting to lay on the couch or in bed with a puppy if they're allowed. I do have two cats but they can be kept in a bedroom and not interact with a dog if they are not cat friendly. If they are cat friendly, my cats love to play and would be really interested in meeting and cuddling with more dogs!

“Our experience was full 5 stars all the way! Mariana provided updates and pics throughout Molly's stay. We know she had fun as she was exhausted and slept like a baby later than night. We would absolutely use Mariana in the future.”

“Nicole and her kids were great. They were very kind and caring with my dog snooper. They have two other dogs that of course want to protect their owner .. but Nicole was careful to keep them on leash or contained during meet n greet. She thoughtfully considered my apprehension about leaving snooper with 3 dogs (they had another for day care I learned later) and figured out ways to keep the dogs separated. The kids were so loving to little snooper I think he had a lot of private attention! Nicole sets a great example for dog care for her kids—- as did her father who was around during meet and greet. So nice to see children take such loving interest in animals.”

“Ella was really sweet for helping me find a sitter last minute. Her communication before, during, and after was impeccable! It made me feel assured that Remy was in good hands while in her care. I highly recommend!”

“Tracy was so patient with our elderly dog's needs and actions. Happy definitely had a good time and was exhausted each night! Great availability.”

“Not only will your dog fall in love with Jessica but you will too! I was so worried that a "sitter" wouldn't love my dog the way that I do. But when I drop Wolfie off at Jessica's, it's like he's spending time with his other mommy!! Jessica will hold, hug, snuggle, and play with your dog all day. She treats all her visitors as if they were her own animals. She's attentive to Wolfie's needs and even notices if something seems a little off with his behavior. We feel so lucky to have found Jessica! I feel like I found a great friend in the process. I would give Jessica 10 stars if I could!!!”

“She is great and has been taking care of dog for over 30 years. She is a great walker and loves animals. Has patience. .”
