Personalized care for your dog or cat - Muscoda

“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!”

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.

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.

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 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. I have a very flexible schedule and a very dog friendly home. We have one dog in the home sometimes too because I watch my daughter's dog. We have a big country yard, dogs would be monitored with a leash unless the dog is good at obeying commands. Big yard with walking trails.

About: I’ve been taking care of kittens, adults, and senior cats since I was about 18. I myself also have a cat and she’s so precious and important to me. I’ve provided care through meals, snuggles, quality time, and medications.

About: I have always been a very passionate animal lover and owner. I have previously owned cats since I was 5 years old. I have trained cats and cared for injuries and recovery, so I am have experience of all kinds. And I have always loved cats!

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: I’ve been a proud dog owner for over 15 years, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to senior pups. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve volunteered at local animal shelters, where I helped walk, feed, and socialize dogs from all backgrounds. I'm comfortable with a variety of breeds and activity levels, and I always tailor my approach to each dog’s individual needs, whether it’s a long walk for an active dog, playtime and enrichment for a curious pup, or calm companionship for an older one. My goal is to make every dog feel happy, safe, and loved. I don't have much experience with cats but am eager to learn and help any cat parent that needs it. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to check on or walk pets during the day or anytime during the week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m walking your dog, visiting for a drop in, or staying in your home, I make sure each pet feels relaxed, secure, and loved. During walks, I always use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, and keep a close eye on your dog’s behavior and surroundings. For drop in visits, I follow your routine for feeding, playtime, and potty breaks to keep things consistent and stress free. When staying in your home, I treat your space with respect and keep everything clean and tidy while maintaining your pet’s usual schedule.

“My dog LOVES her visits with Marsha! I get lots of pictures & an update on the days events. My big girl gets to play, explore, be goofy & get her energy out- just what she needs on the days I'm gone. We both give a big paws up for Marsha!”

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!

About: I've helped my parents take care of my family dog for almost 16 years now! 1-2x/year I farm-sit for my aunt's 6 horses as well as 4 outdoor kitties and 2 indoor kitties for 5-10 days each. I started working for Rover when I was waiting for my state licensure to be approved to start working in my career field. Now, I am currently working full-time as a physical therapist, which keeps me busy. I do love spending time with animals though, so I'm willing to help out with some lower commitment animal care tasks. I think it's important for animals to have as much consistency as possible, so please let me know specifics for your pet (i.e. meal times, training commands, etc.).
