Dog Walkers in Linden, 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: From cats and dogs, to fish, birds, and reptiles, I have been caring for (and helping others care for) all sorts of pets since I was around five years old and I love to do it. I have experience bathing, feeding and exercising dogs and cats of all ages including puppies/kittens and senior pets! I have just graduated from college and am in need of some extra money while I transition into the next stages of life! I will likely have another full time job but would like to be available some evenings and at least two mornings/afternoons a week. While I unfortunately cannot board animals, I am willing to do whatever it is that you’re expecting and are comfortable with when it comes to caring for your animals in your home, including sticking to feeding expectations, safe and enriching exercise/playtime, kenneling, and other expected care for your pets!

“Catarina was so punctual and an excellent communicator! She kept me informed of any developments or changes and she gave excellent reports about my doggo. I would book Catarina in a heartbeat again if needed, and I highly recommend her!”

About: I have cared for many pets since I was very young. I am experienced with even medically needy animals. Animals are my passion. Their love is unconditional and so is mine for them. I work a flexible schedule so I can work most anything work. Long trips, short trips, regular schedule. You name it I’ll make it work. Working in clients home is preferred over using my own home. Helping your pet to feel comfortable is my main priority and keeping their environment consistent will help that.

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.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was little and there is nothing I’m more passionate about. I make sure they are well taken care of and loved also. I work full-time so I am available in the evenings and free on the weekends to take of your furry family members! My schedule is pretty flexible I prefer to take care for pets in the clients home because that is what the pets are comfortable with and used to and that’s what’s most important

About: I’ve had a dogs in my life, since I was a child, and was introduced to cats as I ventured into the collegiate life. As an adult I have cared for dogs primarily, but recently had the opportunity to take care of the sweetest cats! I am fairly patient with pets and like to give them as much space as they like to try to not mess up the routines, but if they are balls of energy and cuddle bugs, I am more than happy to comply! I believe that walks and healthy roaming space is good for a dog’s, development and energy, and respecting a cat to make the first move to ensure respect and comfort to their environment. Hi! I’m a full-time high school interpreter and a lifelong animal lover. During the school year, I spend my days helping students thrive in the classroom — and now that summer’s here, I’m excited to dedicate my time to caring for your pets! I like doing research on the neighborhoods that I’m going into if it’s a new area, and like to understand what you have available, either a dog park, or a fenced backyard, to really understand how to best care for your dog. My dog is a big ball of energy so I have learned a lot of skills to be able to make sure that they stay in their assigned spaces, I do like to keep them with me on my lap as I work, or nearby letting them enjoy a nap.
