Personalized care for your dog or cat - Avoca

“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!”

“Daria and her dog Zeus are perfect. 5 star review. Excellent communication and sent photos every day of Ruby having both fun and relaxing times. Best pet sitting experience I’ve had. Defiant will be using again and highly reccomended.”

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.

“Shelby and her family are amazing! She kept us in the loop on everything while we were gone. She even went and picked up a prescription for our dog at the pharmacy! We could tell our little girl had the best time ever! We have used Shelby twice now and will definitely continue to do so!”

“Please read! I will be there first to admit I was skeptical of using Rover. I carefully scanned through profiles of those willing to watch the two dogs we have, a Great Dane and a boxer. Cilyr was so much more than we could have asked for! She and I agreed having a meet and greet prior was a great choice to make sure the dogs would have an easier transition. Cilyr went to every length to ensure she had asked questions we may not have thought of: do the dogs have allergies? Require specific routines? But I was really blown away when she brought to my attention that she does not have a truck large enough for our Great Dane in the event he would need to get to a vet emergently however, she has already arranged with a friend and neighbor that she could borrow theirs should an emergency arise. I knew at that moment She was that absolutely perfect choice to watch our dogs. This was not just a” side gig” for her, she genuinely cares so much for animals and helping others! When I brought the boys back for their week long stay they took about a day and a half to fully adjust. I know this because Cilyr went above and beyond to make sure I knew the boys were doing well and sent pictures! It was so heartwarming to get those little messages and pictures and know our boys were in great hands. Through those pictures you could see our dogs easing into their day and feeling safe and loved. Before we had even returned from our vacation we had discussed that we will hands down take our dogs back to her any time we need to leave them. The personal touches are unmatched to anything we’ve experienced in the past and we will absolutely recommend her every chance we get! Thank you Cilyr!”

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!

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 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!

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.

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.

When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

About: I have had multiple cats in my home for all my life. I have cared for many others cats so friends and family could vacation. I have had up to four cats of different ages in my home at one time. One passed after 18yrs and one after 16yrs of ownership. I have assisted others as well as my own fur babies with end of life accomodations with vet assistant as well as in home natural. I have experience with administration of a verity of oral and topical medications as well. All though it hurts, I am not afraid to be scratched or bitten either.. Sometimes they are territorial or just having a bad day..I take my que from them, the same as I do with humans. Some just need a little more patients, love, and time to build a bond.

“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.”
