Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you’re not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Kristen took such great care of Mia while I was away for the weekend! Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Mia would love to stay with her again!

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sara went above and beyond for us and our pet. Gave us some peace of mind while out of town and we couldn’t be more grateful. Def recommended!

Dog exercise areas
Janesville is home to three dog exercise areas! Designated portions of Palmer Park and Rock River Parkway are open to unleashed pets, but they are not fenced in. You may run or train your pup off leash in these areas as long they are under your control at all times. Pets—leashed or not—are not permitted in Janesville parks and trails between May 15 and September 15, except in these designated portions. Paw Print Park is a fenced-in dog park within Prairie Knoll Park where you can run your fur-friend off leash year-round! A daily or annual permit is required at Paw Print Park.
