Your Furbabie's Home Away From Home

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.

Candy, her husband and fur babies were so good to my 9 week old springer. They played the whole time and had a great time. I would recommend Candy to anyone. Has a great set up - no worries needed. Thanks again - we will be going back.

Candi was wonderful with my shy dog! She was very thoughtful with introducing her other dogs. Easy and responsive

Safety, trust & environment

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)

Pets

A typical day

We live very close to the state trails which allow dogs, we walk our there daily. They love the interaction with nature as there is water and bridges etc along the trails. Lots of new smells. We also have kiddie pools for summer that our dogs absolutely love. We have air conditioning on all of the warm summer days so the pets with breathing issues or medical issues are always comfortable.

I like to know your pets struggles...are they pet friendly, kid friendly, do they prefer to have their space, do they have separation anxiety. All of the little quirks are the things id like to know.
