Dog Boarding in Gotham, WI

“I can’t say enough great things about Candi and the care she took with our two dogs. I’ve never felt so comfortable with “boarding” my dogs while I was gone for a long trip. I knew they were being treated like part of her family. She sent videos and pictures to keep me updated. My big dog ended up having some stomach issues and Candi didn’t skip a beat. We called my vet and she picked up some meds and got her back on track. Her four dogs were great with mine - they had such a blast. Not sure who enjoyed the vacation more, me or the dogs. She also has a beautiful acreage for them to run around and get fresh air. Wish I would have found her earlier! Thank you Candi!”

“Very attentive and communicative with pictures and updates. Toffee (golden) got along with their puppy Zeus and was super cute all the interactions I got to see via photos. 10/10 would book again to watch the baby boy.”

“Shelby was the perfect host for our puppy. She was super friendly, responded very quickly, gave us updates and pictures on how Copper was doing, and took great care of him. We’ll definitely be re-booking the next time we need to go out of town.”

About: I’ve had animals in every corner of my life, throughout my whole life! I’ve taken care of many dogs and cats all with various needs such as medications, appointments, and mobile assistance. I have also volunteered with Wisconsin WildCare and local humane societies. I am a passionate & fearless animal advocate with speed dial access to a large animal vet and a retired DNR officer. I will treat your pet as my own whether it’s in my home or your home. I work a full time job only seven minutes from my home. My job is incredibly flexible and understanding of my need to let animals out or even leave work early for pet care! I have a balcony that animals can hang out on and a large grassy field that I take animals for walks on. I always keep them leashed. If I want them to be unleashed, I can take them to the local dog park five minutes from my house! I am comfortable with animals on furniture and sleeping in bed with me. I have access to my own crate if the animal is crate trained.

“They have a great place. My dog forgot about me as soon as I dropped her off. I would book again.”

“Barbara was wonderful with our four-legged baby! She sent us messages and pictures and kept us up to date on his daily doings. She was very accommodating to his at-home routines, too. We highly recommend Barbara!”

About: I've always had pets and I've yet to meet a dog I can't get along with. I think it's really important to get to know and respect them as an individual as they get to know me too. It's my goal to make sure your baby feels at home (as much as possible) while you're away. They'll be treated like a part of our little pack family until you get back ❤️ I work from home so I'm here for pets through the day, as many trips outside as they may need, and then we always take a nice walk every evening! I live in a spot with plenty of neighborhood sidewalks and a few different parks close by. About Us Here: The motto here is always "clean happy home" so we keep it clean and make sure everyone gets along! I live here in Reedsburg with my boyfriend, we don't have any children so it's just us and the animals in the house. I'll be the one taking care of our visitors but he will be around and is an animal lover too so he'll be just as welcoming. I have one 3yr old golden retriever named Toffee and he loves company! He's very good with small dogs as well as fellow big dogs. He's a dignified and gentle young man now, so not super hyper anymore but always excitable. I also have two cats that are both 12yr old, Bear and Siren. They're used to having Toffee around and tolerating all sorts of dog shenanigans, they generally just mind their own cat business. About the Home: We're all used to being an animal house here, so every critter is treated as an invaluable part of the family. I don't use crates here but if that is what your dog is used to and feels safe in I have plenty of space for one. I also have a big fenced in back yard that's regularly mowed and has plenty of room for zoomies!

“It was very important to me that Zeus was in truly caring and reliable hands, and Cylir did an amazing job. She took great care of him, gave him lots of walks, attention, and love. I was also absolutely thrilled with the dog play area where Zeus could dig and really enjoy his time. It truly felt like Zeus was on a little vacation 😊 Thank you so much! We’ll definitely be back.”

“I boarded my dog Cooper with Katie for two days and nights. Katie was very responsive when I approached her and she sent text and photos of Cooper during his stay with her. She played with him and he looked very happy. She has a great yard for Cooper to play fetch. I would definitely have Katie watch Cooper again.”

About: I've taken care of many dogs and even more cats over the last 38 years. I love them and will love yours like my own. Semi retired looking forward to helping people out. I have a very flexible schedule and a very dog friendly home. We have one dog in the home sometimes too because I watch my daughter's dog. We have a big country yard, dogs would be monitored with a leash unless the dog is good at obeying commands. Big yard with walking trails.

About: I’ve been taking care of cats, dogs, farm animals (chickens, goats), fish, and exotic animals since I was 18. There’s no animal too big or too small! I’ve provided both day and night care, and handled meals, walks, potty breaks, medications, and cleaning. Hello!! I am a soon to be stay-at-home momma who will have lots of available time to watch/play with/or walk your furry friends! I currently have a dog and a cat of my own but they are very friendly and loving with all animals big or small. I would love to board your animals in my home! But, they must be friendly with both dogs and cats as I have one of each who are very sweet and get along with everyone! All supplies will need to be dropped off with your furry friend as well as I don’t have extra kennels (if your pup uses one) or extra supplies.

“Carlie stayed with our two dogs and cat for 8 nights while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates and pictures during her stay. Our pups are bigger and active so it can be hard to find someone who is both willing and able to make sure they get the exercise and mental stimulation they need. We are so thankful we found Carlie!!”

About: I have a background in both education and dog training, so I focus heavily on structure, communication, and understanding each dog’s individual needs. I have experience working with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities, including puppies, high-energy breeds, and dogs that benefit from extra patience or routine. I’m CPR certified, experienced with enrichment-based care, and comfortable reinforcing basic training skills such as leash manners, recall, sit/down, place, and calm behavior during visits and walks. I also have experience with hunting and working breeds, so I understand the importance of both physical exercise and mental stimulation. What sets me apart most is that I genuinely enjoy building trust and relationships with the dogs I care for. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure each dog feels comfortable, engaged, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide reliable communication and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands. I intentionally keep openings in my schedule for walks, drop-in visits, boarding, and individualized care. I currently have availability most mornings, a few evenings, and select weekends which allows me to provide consistent attention and flexible scheduling for clients. Because I prioritize quality care and reliability, I carefully manage my schedule to make sure each pet receives plenty of time, attention, exercise, and communication while in my care. believe every dog is different, so I focus heavily on each pet’s individual needs, personality, comfort level, and routine. Some dogs need lots of exercise and enrichment, while others need a calmer environment, patience, or extra reassurance while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I take time to learn their feeding schedule, potty routine, energy level, favorite activities, training expectations, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I adjust my care style based on the individual dog rather than taking a “one size fits all” approach. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, understood, and cared for while maintaining as much consistency and routine as possible.
