Dog Walkers in Gotham, WI

About: Hello my name is Candida (Candi). I have worked in and with Rescues and Humane Societies throughout the State of WI over the last 30 years. I currently have 4 dogs and live out in the country with lots of room to run. I am very familiar with different behavior issues as well as how to work with your pets to get through those issues. This experience comes from fostering many high risk animals over the years. Your pet will be treated the same in my home as he/ she is treated in your home. If they go on your furniture, they are welcome on mine, etc. I am always willing to go the extra mile, if your pet needs a bath or a nail clip, I am happy to do that. I have experience with training, CPR, Giving Meds both by mouth and shot. Some of my friends lovingly call me the crazy dog lady because of my deep love for dogs, they have feelings and emotions just as we do and I always take that into consideration when caring for them. Given the opportunity I will show you that you can trust me to care for your baby while you are away just as you care for them when you are home. I currently work part time at my own small business so my schedule is super flexible and can be easily worked around your needs. This gives me the flexibility to give your pet all the time and attention they need while in my care. I have four dogs that are the sweetest babies. They get along great with all animals as well as kids. I do not have a fenced yard as we live on 80 acres out in the country, but I do have a portable temporary fencing that can be put up for outside time. We have a large area in the lower level of our home for inside play time. As I said earlier, when your pet is in my home, they will be treated just as they are when they are with you. I know how important routine is to their little minds. If you feed at a certain time, I will follow that routine. I know mine have a very set routine, they surely know when dinner time is. :o)

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and have even helped friends and family with their dogs. I even got help my best friend get her dog dressed up for her wedding! I currently have flexible work from home hours where I can come play with the fluff balls when needed. I am only unavailable Tuesday and Wednesday. I live in an apartment but on the edge of town and have a huge area to run the dogs when they need some exercise.

About: I have had dogs and cats of my own for my entire life. I have taken care of my friends and family's dogs routinely and love to snuggle with them. I currently work full time M-F but I have flexibility during the day if needed. I just love animals and they are a really important part of my life, so if I am able to help someone else out who needs it I would feel honored. I will care for your fur baby as if it were my own. I just lost my black lab and am really missing having a dog.

About: I’m sure all sitters say this but I genuinely have a seat for being with animals. Sometimes I prefer them over people and treat them like they’re my own. I love all of their personalities and quirks. Anywhere I go I ask to pet someone’s dog and respect what the dog’s body language is telling me. I have a Siberian husky so I have had to learn how to read body language and potential environmental stressors very well. I invest a generous amount of time into learning about dog breeds and am always opening to learning more! Currently, I am staying in an apartment near Camp Randall with plenty of time after 1:00 pm before the semester starts on Sept. 3rd. Following the 3rd, I would edit my schedule on the app. There are no other pets in the apartment so boarding would be available for a few days. Extensive experience with dogs, slightly less with cats but always open to caring! I love giving them constant stimulation and walks. Pets and treats are always given. I treat all dogs like they’re my own. I have an eye on them almost at all times.

“Lily is the sweetest! She takes such good care of my pup. Lily is also an excellent communicator and sends great updates during her visits. Highly recommend!”

About: I would love the opportunity to care for your pet, as I have 18 years of experience in animal care, training, socializing and grooming. I have worked with puppies and kittens, to large animals such as cattle and horses. I promise to provide emotional support, understanding, lots of playtime/ potty breaks, and a safe, calm environment for your pets. I currently work part time as a caregiver for the elderly. When I have time off, I love to spend it with my dogs and my horses. I plan to have a few days open weekly for pet care as I transition into a full time position for animal caretaking. Pets in my home have free range for activities, allowing them to express themselves at all times. Pets in my care will never be crated unless stated by the owner. I will abide by feeding times and rules set by owner, and will contact owner with questions or concerns. I will always maintain a safe and uplifting environment for pets, that includes lots of cuddles and free range on couches if that is a safe space for them. I am flexible with requests or special cares.

About: With 25 years of experience, I’ve cared for animals of all kinds—dogs, cats, horses, and more. I got my start on my grandparents’ farm, learning how to care for everything from feral kittens to family pets. As a previous veterinary assistant, I’ve worked with senior animals, administered medications, and supported pets with special needs. My background gives me the confidence to handle animals of all sizes, but my real focus is on providing thoughtful, compassionate care to every pet. Whether it’s training a young dog or comforting an older cat, I treat your animals like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have an energetic dog who needs daily walks, and we often hike or visit the dog park—your dog is welcome to join if they’re comfortable in a pack setting. I have 50/50 custody of my two kids (ages 7 and 10), who are in school during the day and may be home in the evenings. I prefer dogs who are kid-friendly, but if your pup needs a quieter space, we have a large, pet-friendly basement where they can relax. We’re an active, animal-loving family, and your pet will be treated like one of our own. Every pet is different, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. Well-behaved dogs are welcome to relax around the house with my own dog, and we enjoy daily walks, playtime, and the occasional hike or dog park visit—if your pet is comfortable with that. When I’m away from home, your dog may be kenneled for safety, but they’ll always get 4–5 potty breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. With experience as a veterinary assistant, I’m confident handling pets safely and making them feel comfortable in a home environment.

About: Conveniently located 7 minutes from Wisconsin Dells (the map is not accurate), in the country on a few acres with a large fenced in area! I love taking care of pups in my home just as one of my own furry family members. I have a degree as a vet tech and in canine obedience and behavior! I have been boarding dogs in my home and pet sitting for over 25 years. I also ran a wonderful dog rescue for almost ten years giving me a wide variety of experience with many situations and behaviors. I love being able to help people with knowing their pup is in the best of care so you can enjoy your Vacation or not add more stress in a time of sorrow or whatever the situation may be that brings you to needing dog sitting! I also own my own business doing interior painting so have a very flexible schedule. I love being able to be flexible for you and for your pup I have a fenced in yard, can separate and/crate dogs as needed. I do offer for them to sleep with me at night and be spoiled. I will take them for rides, hikes, to the store all if applicable!

“Thanks Kimberly for doing such a great job!! Chase is always so happy to see you. I highly recommend Kimberly as we have had her watch our pup many times and she is very kind and responsible”

About: I always had a dog in my house growing up, and my dogs became part of the family. I have been dog sitting for five years and continue to love helping people take care of their pets. I currently do not own a dog at my own place, but my parents have two Labrador retrievers that I visit any chance I can get. I am very organized and enjoy working with different types of pets. I am a reliable hard worker who is always looking to learn more about the world around me. I spend my free time hiking, going to concerts, and spending time with my friends. My sister, Sam also pet sits with me so we can provide the best care possible with our ever-busy schedules. My work schedule is very flexible, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I try to accommodate clients' schedules as much as possible. I will be sure to follow safety and environmental guidelines on a client-by-client basis. You know what is right for your pet, and I respect that.

About: Hi, I’m Chris! I’ve always loved being around dogs and have spent years caring for pups of all kinds — from high-energy adventurers to laid-back couch companions. I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog, and I’m here to give them the attention, care, and exercise they need while you’re away. Whether your dog loves a long, brisk walk or prefers a slower, sniff-filled stroll, I’ll adjust to whatever makes them happiest. Their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first with me, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own. Regular walks do more than just burn energy — they help dogs stay healthy, ease anxiety, and keep them mentally sharp. Plus, it gives them a chance to explore, smell new things, and just enjoy being a dog. I’d love to meet you and your pup and be a part of their daily routine! I do a lot of running and trail running so if you have an active dog, we could have a lot of fun. But I also enjoy slow paced walks and just enjoying the environment. As I have had inside/outside dogs most of my life, I will always contain pets into the areas that are available for them but not a caged containment unless needed.

“Matt did a great job with my girls. Walking two dogs at a time can be difficult, but he was super with them. Good communication, timely, and I’d book with him again.”

About: I have trained 2 puppies of my own as well as raise them and take care of them throughout their lives. I have also in-home dogsat for many dogs including dog in heat. I have experience with feeding, walking, training, medicating, spending time with, and cleaning up after dogs of all kinds. I am a student at the University of Minnesota and I work part-time. I am available to check in on your pets and take them for walks/spend time with them during the day. I have a lot of extra time this summer to spend with your pets! I will care for your pets from your home, I can take them for very long walks as well as take them to the dog park if you would like. I have a very flexible schedule and am typically able to accommodate pet's regular schedules.

About: Hello! I am a lifetime pet lover with experience caring for cats and dogs of all sizes. I love all animals, big and small! I am a psychotherapist and I work from home about 50% of the time, so I’ll be able to accommodate frequent potty breaks. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll be able to be actively engaging with your pets fully outside of about 4 hours per weekday. I work from home, so it’s easy to take a walk or a drive to the dog park if your pup is high energy. For older or calmer dogs and/or cats, I make good company! I am always respectful of personal preferences when it comes to pet care. If I’m staying in your home, I will be respectful of your space and your boundaries around how I use that space. If your dogs are in my home, I will listen to your opinions about how and how much exercise they need, what will make them most comfortable, and their feeding/potty schedule.

“Amanda did a wonderful job working with my dog. She is great at communicating with me, flexible, and reliable. My dog is very timid and slow to warm up to people, but she instantly approved of Amanda and bonded quickly!”

“Rebecca is such a sweetie and awesome communicator!!”
