My puppy has been going to Tim's day care for a few months now. It is no exaggeration when I say during Thanksgiving, I was feeling most thankful for having heard about Dog Gone Walkers through a coworker. Not only do I know that every time my dog goes to this day care, she is going to burn out all her energy and socialize with plenty of other dogs, I know that she will be safe and cared after the entire time. Tim and his crew do an exceptional job looking after the dogs and making sure they all play well together. More than that, Tim does seem to give them some behavioral rules to follow around the day care. My dog now has brought home good habits that I am pretty sure she has picked up at the day care. Overall she has just been a more respectful puppy at the house, like she now knows she is not the queen of the world. The price of the day care is very reasonable. By far probably the best investment I have made for my dog! I highly recommend. If for nothing else, at least for the unmatched socialization. My dog wants to go greet every dog she sees at the park now thinking each one is going to be a play buddy. If I have a single complaint, its that I am no longer my dog's favorite. She loooooooooves Tim, and is so excited to go to the day care whenever we get into the car. Truly unmatched value and service in the area.
Tim and his team are the best! They are reliable, kind, patient, and flexible. Our rescue pup isn't always sure about people, but she LOVES her walks and is always so excited to get to daycare. We are so happy that they can offer boarding because it's hard to imagine feeling good about leaving her with anyone else. We really cannot recommend Tim and his crew strongly enough.
Dog Gone Walkers is the best place to care for your pet! Tim is great with connecting with every dog that he boards. All dogs are treated like family and have access to everything that will make them feel at home (and more). Boarding was so great, I will now be taking my dog here for day care sometimes just because I know she loves it. Dog Gone Walkers will even come to your home to care for your pet! Tim is dedicated to making sure every dog is comfortable and safe. Look no further, this is THE place for pet care in Madison! Amazing.
Tim is the absolute best!! He goes way beyond anything I could have expected for a dog day care. I have never felt concerned about leaving my dog there. You can tell he has a genuine affection for dogs and knows how to handle a pack. I have a almost three year old German Shepard who in my experience with is impossible to wear out. But every time I have brought my dog home she is always tired from a full day of fun. Tim has a great set up for dogs that enjoy being social and require lots of play time and exercise. He is also very flexible on drop off and pickup times. I highly recommend this place. Your hound will love you for it too.
You will love this place as much as your dogs do! The dogs play all day long outside in a huge play area with a large privacy fence (one of my dogs is a fence jumper). Tim has a large, well-heated outdoor shelter area if the pups want to warm up, relax or just sleep. Tim personally interacts with the dogs all day long, and gets to learn each and every dog's personality. My dogs go absolutely nuts in the car as we get close to Tim's place so much so, that I have had to open the door and let them jump out over me! They are greeted by all the other dogs and Tim once inside the gates! As for boarding...it doesn't get any better. It is the next best thing to having a friend dog sit your pups at your home. They get to sleep in Tim's home on any of the dog beds laid out. They aren't locked inside of a small kennel inside of a building with no human interaction. It doesn't get any better than this. Since I discovered Dog Gone Walkers, I have absolutely no need to take them anywhere else.

Where every dog is family—professional care, boundless play, and peace of mind for Madison pet owners.
