Doggy Office

Doggy Office is a locally owned dog daycare, boarding, and grooming provider serving the greater Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, with locations in Butler, Downtown Milwaukee, and the North Shore (Hemlock St). Positioning itself as an alternative to franchised or private-equity-owned facilities, the business emphasizes affordable pricing, a living wage for staff, and a relaxed, home-style approach to care rather than a rigid corporate model. Every dog — including boarders — spends the day in open group play in what the facility calls the area's largest indoor dog park, rather than being isolated in individual runs.

Services & Amenities

• Daycare with staff-supervised group play, separated by size and temperament
• Overnight boarding that includes full-day access to daycare play, plus cozy beds and blankets
• Grooming services
• Free medication administration with no added fees
• Temperament testing for all new dogs at no extra charge

The team accommodates dogs with special needs, offering one-on-one attention over group play when required at no additional cost, and welcomes fosters at no charge when paired with a paying family dog. Unaltered dogs are accepted as well (with the exception of females in season), and owners are not required to pre-portion food, since staff will measure meals and serve everything from stainless-steel bowls.

A Day at the Office

A typical day includes morning arrivals, open play blocks in the morning and afternoon, a midday lunch and naptime, and an evening wind-down before pickup. For boarding guests, the routine extends into the evening with dinner, a final potty break, and bedtime. Each location maintains its own boarding rate covering a full 24-hour stay inclusive of daycare, and owners are encouraged to bring their dog's regular food, though Fromm brand food is also available for purchase on site.
