About: Hi! I’m a passionate dog lover with over 10 years of hands-on experience fostering and caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. If it were up to me, every dog looking for a loving home would have a place in mine. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. Over the years I’ve had the privilege of looking after countless dogs, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their families are away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to earn their trust, learn their routines, and make them feel right at home. I’m experienced with basic training and positive reinforcement using treats, helping dogs build good habits while making learning fun. Whether it’s reinforcing routines, group feeding, administering lots of love and attention, or simply making sure they feel comfortable, I always put each dog’s needs first. I’m very active, so your pup can expect plenty of walks, playtime, trips to the park, backyard fun (including supervised pool time if appropriate), and, of course, lots of cuddles and affection at the end of the day. I treat every pet like they’re my own because I truly believe they’re family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is safe, loved, and receiving the same care and attention they would at home. Whether you’re away for a weekend, a business trip, or need regular care, I’m here to provide a reliable, loving, and fun environment for your pup. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I have years of experience fostering and caring for dogs, my days already revolve around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, training, and giving each dog the love and attention they deserve. I enjoy staying active, so daily walks and trips to the park are something I genuinely look forward to. I also make time for cuddles, enrichment activities, and keeping pets on their normal routines so they feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. Caring for pets isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy every day of the week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and energy level so they get the care that’s best for them. I also keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages, so they can relax knowing their furry family member is happy and well cared for while they’re away.

“Candice was so communicative and made me feel at ease before she even arrived at the house. This was my first time using Rover and first time having someone walk Mocha without a previous introduction. It was so nice to know that Mocha was in good hands and Candice went above and beyond in making sure she got a good walk in and had time to pee/poop. I'm so appreciative of Candice and would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I ONLY service, Highland Falls, Fort Montgomery and West Point, NY. I do NOT service outside of these 3 territories. I will NOT take bookings outside of these three areas. I do this full time and my schedule doesn’t allow me to accommodate outside of my territory. With 23 years local experience, I am very dedicated, passionate and committed to my profession. I am a full-time Dog Walker and Animal Caretaker. I have operated my business solely word of mouth up to this point. I take bookings all hours and days of the week. Over the years, I have cultivated clients that truly have become family to me. Your animal gets cared for and treated with the same love, care and attention that you yourself would provide for them. My experience has ranged from dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, farm animals, exotic animals and much more. When it comes to animals that are large breeds, disabled and/or have temperament issues I have a ton of experience. Please reach out to me via message prior to booking in regards to availability. This is to ensure that I will be able to accommodate exactly what your needs are. As my schedule fluctuates day to day. Also, to make sure you fall within the 3 territories I cover. I don’t want there to be any miscommunication. Consistency is key, and I find it best not to alter their daily and nightly routines. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed while you are away. If I stay in your home, I treat your home as if it was my own. Just like your pet, I provide the same level of care for your home without judgment. You come home to it being clean, neat and tidy. I wash the sheets, take out the garbage and recycling, sweep/vacuum and wipe down all surfaces that I used. I also bring in packages, water indoor plants, move garbage and recycling bins to the road and small and/or minor request are usually accepted. In the spring and summer months, I will water outdoor plants, but inquire about additional cost.

About: I've owned and cared for animals my whole life, from cats and dogs to snakes and chinchillas. My fur babies are everything to me - I even have them forever tatted on me! My current English bulldog, Stella, is half-blind and all crazy. She is a protector and lover of my two girls, who have known and grown up with animals their whole lives. While a sweetheart, she remains separate from my boarded friends. I have experience caring for senior animals, shy and timid babies with, and large breed guardian dogs. I also enjoy volunteering at two of our local animal shelters and am raising a future veterinarian. I believe animals are the purest form of love and require nothing less in return. Whether my own or yours, you can trust that I'll care for them all the same ♥️ I'm available most days of the week and weekends. Pet care and motherhood are my full-time roles, and my daughter may often accompany me on my walks. My home has large yard and a separate family area where my boarded friends can have their own quiet, private space to hang out with me: hang on the couch, watch TV, or play outside. I have a large crate if needed and plenty of space.

“Crystal did a great job walking Lewis (10 month old English bulldog), helping him to get his steps in! Crystal was quick to respond even on late notice.”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, but most of my family had dogs, so I have always been around them. This love for animals also got me into the veterinary field, which I have 6 years experience in. I have years of experience walking, handling, and playing with dogs and now have the experience to give oral medications or injections if needed. I currently don’t have any dogs, but I do have 2 cats. During my day I always make sure I wake up early enough to feed them and clean the litter box. After coming home from work, I feed them dinner and spend some time brushing and playing with them. I then clean the litter box before going to bed and repeat the next day. In my home, I have installed screen doors on the entry doors to prevent my cats from escaping but so they also can see the outside activity. I have socket covers to prevent them from playing in it and make sure to cover all wires so they don’t think they are toys.

About: I am currently employed as a pet sitter, taking care of various pets while their owners are away at work, or on vacation. I love your animals as if they are my own. I will care for your pets and love them as part of my family. I take responsibility for entering people's homes and ensuring the proper care of their pets. I can be trusted with providing animals the proper medication for their individual needs. I will ensure that pets are safe and given adequate attention when their owners are away from home. Pets are welcome in my home or I can care for them at their home. I am very flexible to make it convenient and easy for you and your fur babies. I'm currently working part time and I make my own schedule so I'll have plenty of time to give your pet the attention that they deserve. Please keep me up to date on what special care your pet will need when caring for in your own home and where the treats are located :)

About: Hi! I’m a college student and lifelong animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for pets. I currently have two cats and one dog of my own, and I’ve also pet sat for friends and family for the past 5–6 years. Through these experiences, I’ve cared for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. Whether it’s dog walking, feeding, playtime, litter box care, or providing companionship, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and committed to providing attentive care and regular updates to pet owners. I have wa flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. During the summer and school breaks, I have wide availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and needs, whether that means early morning walks, afternoon playtime, or evening check-ins. I communicate regularly with pet owners and provide updates so they know their pets are happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and routines. I understand that every pet is different and take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain a clean environment. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving attentive, loving care while they are away.
