Pet Sitting in Richland Center

About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, starting with neighbors and family friends who trusted me with their cats and dogs. I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, so I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. I also have a Golden Retriever of my own that I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with training, routines, and puppy needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally. I already spend a lot of time taking care of my own Golden Retriever puppy, feeding him, getting him outside, training, and keeping him entertained, so adding another pet into the mix doesn’t feel like a stretch. I do work full-time, but I’m home most evenings, nights, and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to check in on pets, go for walks, or just hang out with them. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so working pet care into my schedule never feels like an inconvenience. It’s something I look forward to! When I’m caring for pets in my home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and included in our normal routine. I have a friendly male Golden Retriever puppy who loves having a buddy around, but I always do slow and careful introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. Pets get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a cozy place to rest. I follow whatever routines they’re used to so they feel at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and try to keep things exactly how your pet is accustomed to. I stick to your feeding schedule, walk routines, and any house rules you prefer. I give lots of updates and photos so you know your pet is happy. My goal is always the same in any home: make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away.

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 have been in the animal field doing extended stay pet sitting in private homes since 2011. I have the following experience: dog bather and groomer shelter caretaker for cats dog daycare facilitator on-the-scene solo animal rescuer TNR trapper I have served on multiple continents & I have handled hundreds and hundreds of dogs. I grew up raising cats and kittens from birth, and have raised a mid-sized dog from 4 weeks old. I am comfortable with caring for some farm animals also. Let's talk about your needs. Your pets' and family's special needs are my priority while I'm serving you. I am comfortable with administering subcutaneous medicine and handling elderly and frail animals. If your pet is prescribed insulin, I will send you a photo of the dosage in the syringe so you know that your pet is receiving its proper dose. On some days of the week I have other scheduled work in other towns. Please reach out and let's see how our schedules line up. Whatever safety measures you use is what I will use when with your pets. Leashes, doors, and other safety measures are always by your prescription. I will not allow other people into your home without your consent.

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.

“Rebecca was a treasure! Both for me and my kitters. Pics, and even a video, from each visit, showed how much Zuko warmed up to her right away. Communication before and after was so helpful, since I'd never used a service such as this before. Rebecca's service is definitely a 5-star rating. I'll be calling on her again and again, as needed. Thank you so very much!! NS”

About: I have grown up on a farm taking care of animals from birth to passing. I have always been a very passionate animal lover and owner. I have previously owned cats, goats, and chickens. And I have taken care of dogs, horses, turtles, and fish so I have a wide variety of knowledge. I am currently staying at my parents house and have an open and flexible schedule. I can do drop in visits, dog walking, and house stays during the week and weekends. I would not be able to host a pet, but I am happy to come to the house of the owner. I am able to match the animal’s needs whether that is relaxing on the couch or playing outside.

About: I've had pets my whole life and have had kittens, puppies, cats, dogs, and animals outdoors. I've always had a heart for animals and am the type of person to save stray animals whenever I see them. I have experience caring for others animals and volunteer at the animals shelters from time to time. I'm home from college and haven't had luck finding a job for the month I'm here. This summer, I have the opportunity to study abroad but need funds to support that so this is what I'm turning to! I have complete free time to care for your fur babies and keep them entertained. I would say I'm a very responsible and organized person! I will care for your pets as if they're my own because I understand how much they mean to you. Your pets will be in safe hands!

“Our little 15-year-old cat has had quite a few care givers in her lifetime and Jaimie is the best of the best. She’s friendly, conscientious, caring, and so, so good with animals (and people 🙂). There’s nothing like leaving town and knowing for certain your little friend is in kind, competent hands! 😻❤️”

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.

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.
