About: I grew up on a farm and ranch, caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. While living in South Carolina, I assisted with service dog and obedience training. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I’ve cared for them throughout my entire adult years. I can’t wait to offer your pup a safe, loving environment while you’re away! Usually home all day Sat and Sunday. Mon - Friday I’m gone from about 9am to 12pm. Home for the rest of the day to keep your pups company, aside from life errands that are few and far between. Drop offs/Pick ups no later than 830pm. As of right now I can have one client at a time, Thank you. I have a 6 foot privacy fence and the front room is set up for your pup to stay in and there is a XXL crate and for smaller pups I have a large play pen and a canopy bed. I do have three dogs that are friendly, however my house is constructed to where I can keep everyone separated and comfortable.

“Candice is a wonderful doggie caretaker. She was very attentive and patient with my fur baby, who is very needed and spoiled. I will be looking to have my fur baby do another stay soon. Thanks Candice!”

“Jill & Thomas were great with out 10 month pld Rhodesian Ridgeback Molly. We were worried Molly would miss us and whine but Jill and her pack of dogs kept Molly busy all day. I was also glad to see that Jill also understood the importance of adequate down time in between play periods. Will definitely bring Molly back to visit!”

“Thanks Yvonne and Joe! So grateful for your help. All the dogs came home tired and happy, the way they should be. We appreciate all the support you’ve shown us over the last couple of months!”

About: With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines. Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.

“Liza had a great time with Jen!! Jen is really caring and was really attentive to put Liza at ease, not always a simple task as Liza has separation anxiety. Jen was very responsive, took a bunch of pictures, and sent me lots of updates. I really appreciated it and highly recommend her!”

About: We got our first pup in 2011. All 3 dogs we’ve owned have been since they were puppies. We’ve taken care of pups who require shots and pills. We treat pups in our house like family members. My husband and I have off weekends. My husband works from home so dogs get let out frequently. I’m a high school teacher so I also have summers off. We’re happy to follow your routines so they feel at home. I have 2 friendly dogs who love kids & pups. We just ask that your pup is friendly with kids and dogs, and is comfortable being crated for short periods of time, if needed.

About: I have 2 pups Chip & Lucy ages 11 & 8 that I have raised from puppies. Many of my friends have dogs and they frequently come over. I also enjoy riding horses when I can. I have experience with working with anxious dogs & dogs in shelters also. I am available weekday mornings 6-11 /evenings 5-10 and all day on the weekend. I can do boarding in my home after a meet and greet. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs. I can also kennel your dog if needed. Meet and greet of dogs would be needed before any overnight stays with us.

“Huimin is awesome! It was my first time leaving my baby Marley with anyone, and I immediately felt comfortable when they met. Marley had an awesome time with Tutu as well. Huimin kept me updated with photos and videos frequently. I can’t thank you enough.”

“Reid was great. Blu didn’t want to seem to leave once it was time to go home. He slept good that night and even slept in the next morning! If you have a needy dog Reid is the sitter for you! Blu just loves human attention and he received lots of attention and play time.”
