Pet boarding/training near Butler

“Had the best experience here with Brittany and my puppy, Rosie. We learned so much and loved the class structure. The broken down steps made it easy to build upon each week. We came back for the Intermediate class and will take more group classes in the future if they are offered.“

“We absolutely love Skydance! I have a 5-year-old Siberian Husky named Princess who is definitely not your typical husky (at least not compared to our previous husky's)She is incredibly timid, doesn't like the cold, and would happily lay in the sun all day if she could. Because of her timid nature, she struggled with resource guarding the small corner she would curl up in, and she's never been the kind of dog who enjoys roughhousing or playing with other dogs. She's much more of a hiking, trail-running kind of girl. She also has significant separation anxiety, so leaving her home alone when I need to go into the office simply isn't an option. While I primarily work from home, my job occasionally requires me to be on-site, so I needed a place where she could be safe, cared for, mentally stimulated, physically active, and continue building positive social skills. We tried several dog daycares before finding Skydance, but none of them provided the individualized attention, structure, and boundaries she needed to truly be successful. Then we found Skydance. The difference has been incredible. She is thriving here. She gets to spend time with her "friends," work on training goals we're focusing on at home, receive the mental stimulation and exercise she needs, and most importantly, she feels comfortable and secure. When I have to be in the office, I know she's not just being "watched", she's being cared for. She comes home happy, tired, and content, and I have complete peace of mind knowing she's in great hands. We are so grateful for the Skydance team and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a place that truly understands dogs and meets them where they are.“

“The staff is simply amazing. So caring and attentive. I would recommend 100%. Not to mention they have the unlimited daycare plan that cannot be beat!“

“I’ve been taking my dogs to Central Bark for almost three years now and it’s honestly been an amazing experience. I don’t use them for boarding, but I bring my dogs in regularly for grooming and they always do a great job.

Peter, the manager, is awesome to work with. He’s super accommodating and always finds a way to get my dogs scheduled. We’ve got them on a routine now which makes everything really easy.

Alyssa does a phenomenal job with both of my dogs, a Labradoodle and an Australian Shepherd. My Aussie can be pretty anxious,, so I was a little worried at first, but they’ve handled him incredibly well. They’re patient, know what they’re doing, and you can tell they actually care about the dogs.

I’ve never had a bad experience here. The whole team is great and always quick to respond if I have any questions.

Really appreciate Peter, Alyssa, and the entire staff.“

“I came in for the first time for a same day appointment for an ear infection in my dog. They were very welcoming and took great care of Lucky. Would recommend and will be back!“

“Great experience and it seems that my dogs were handled with care. Just wish it was a bit less expensive.“

“I take my two doggies here for grooming. They do a fantastic job and are very patient with my dogs. My big girl is 14 years old and needs TLC while being groomed. Kelsie always gives her the extra time and care she needs. My dachshund went today for the very first time and came home happy, soft and fluffy.
They sell the cutest dog cookies and treats here, too. My girls say they are delicious.“

“Dawn Jacques and the entire Milwaukee Paws Pet Care (MPPC) team are Wisconsin’s elite pet caregivers! Their professionalism and detail-oriented attention to looking after and caring for pets is the absolute BEST! I have extreme trust issues and even some anxiety when it comes to the safety, happiness and wellbeing of my furbaby under the watch of anyone else; and MPPC has proven on several occasions to completely alleviate those concerns. Following all instructions for my dog’s routines, comforts and other expectations were met and surpassed. I wholeheartedly recommend MPPC! ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you Dawn and Milwaukee Paws Pet Care!!!??“

“In what can only be described as one of the more embarrassing moments of my adult life and a true blight in pet ownership, my anxious pup failed his compatibility assessment with flying colors today. Despite that, I was fully impressed with the facility and the staff. They are all very kind, knowledgeable, and it is clear their ability to keep animals safe and comfortable. I also love their outward support for diversity and inclusion in the community. If I had a dog that was better suited for a daycare experience, I would come here without hesitation. My dog may be getting a one star review, but these guys get five!“

“I recently took my dog, Ginger, for her second lymes disease vaccination. Due to the appointment being strictly with the vet tech, I only had to pay for the vaccine. The vet tech actually gave Ginger the injection in the waiting room because there were no other clients/patients there at the time. Ginger didn't even notice that she received the injection. The vet tech gave her treats for being a good girl. The tech asked for permission to give Ginger treats before she did.“

“Central Bark -Brookfield is our dear Shelby's home away from home. For over 5 years, our golden girl has enjoyed daycare (playtime) several days a week, sleepovers and yes, she even enjoys her grooming sessions. Jess and her team are awesome and we are grateful for the care they provide for our beloved companion. Thanks, Central Bark~ we appreciate you!“

“We awoke to our (extremely) food aggressive 3 year old cat not eating. It was a Sunday morning, so I called what Google said was WVRC, but got Westown Vet Clinic instead. It was 8:30am, & Westown was able to make give us a 10:30am appointment, so I took it.

I was impressed with the staff- they took us to a room quickly, & everything was immaculately clean & well lit. The vet was running a bit late due to another cat emergency, & they apologized profusely.

The vet examined & diagnosed our cat. We really appreciated that he was able to fix our feline with an injection & some take home meds. He said that he could do an X ray & bloodwork, but didn’t think it was necessary at this point. We’re grateful that he didn’t oversell us on expensive add-ons. Even my husband thought that the bill was reasonable.

I’ve also had great experiences at WVRC (esp on the weekends), & in the future for urgent (non-emergency) services, I’d make an appointment with Westown Vet Clinic, as they were able to offer me an appointment time, as opposed to just triaging every patient that arrived.“

“They accepted us as a new patient and were able to get us in the same day. Were kind and gentle with my pup, and so much more affordable than our previous vet. So so grateful for the kindness and care they gave my sweet Pip!“

“My dogs always enjoy their stay here. The staff is very reliable, complete in their care, and very responsive to giving accurate feedback about each of my critters stay.“

“this place was highly recommended by someone whose dog I see sitting “perfectly” every time I’ve seen the dog.“

“Very satisfied with our experience at Central Bark. The staff were pleasant and accommodating and our dog looks great!“

“We absolutely love The Dog Sanctuary in Sussex, and so does our 1-year-old Bernedoodle, Phoenix! He’s extremely social and high-energy, and this has been the perfect place for him to play, socialize, and burn off some energy.

Sarah and her team are incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely care about every dog that comes through their doors. We’re still working on some obedience training with Phoenix, and they’ve been nothing but patient, understanding, and supportive in our efforts. We truly appreciate their commitment to creating a safe, fun, and well-managed environment for all dogs.

It means a lot to us that they take the time to ensure every dog has a great experience—even when it comes to managing occasional behavioral challenges. Their dedication and professionalism give us peace of mind every time we drop Phoenix off.

Thank you for everything you do! We couldn’t be happier with our experience at The Dog Sanctuary!“

“Our pup, Violet, enjoyed her first day, playing and acclimating to her new doggy daycare. The staff was gentle, knowledgeable and forthcoming. It's beautiful, spacious & clean. Someone came home very tired.“

“I love that the doctors take the time with you to discuss any concerns. You never feel rushed.“

“We were able to get our dog in quickly for an appointment when she had an eye infection, when our normal vet couldn't see her for days. The prices were very reasonable and everyone was so nice. I would consider making this my regular vet in the future.“

“We have 2 Labs, 8 years old, and 5 months old. We started going to Chas for training because our older had some behavior problems (pulling on walks, barking at people walking by the house, mostly). After getting our new puppy, we decided it was time to get serious about training.....starting off with the new puppy on the right foot, and getting the older to behave better. Well, it's been quite impressive what our dogs are like now compared to when we started, and we still have more lessons to go!Peaceful pull-free walks, following commands SO much better, counter surfing drastically reduced and almost gone! etc. Chas is truly an expert at training dogs, and when you put the work in, meaning you do EXACTLY WHAT HE SAYS, you get results. Going to Dog's Best Friend has been the best decision we ever made with our dogs. Hands down, the BEST! Everything and every other method we've tried has been a waste of time. We 10000% recommend Chas if you are committed to seeing amazing behavior changes from your dog. It's hard work that takes patience and some time, but the results keep us motivated to keep going. Chas is seriously the best and worth your time and money.“

“These groomers helped my friend when she adopted badly matted pooch. They took this emergency case when nobody else would help her. It took two days to groom the poor baby but she came out amazingly beautiful. We are so grateful to these professionals for their kindness, compassion, expediency, patience, and professionalism. Thank you for helping my dear friend and turning her beast into a beauty! You guys are amazing!

Thank you!“
