Pet care experience

Super-reliable pet guardian angel!

I am very responsible and careful with your fur babies! I care for your pets like they were my family. Because they are YOUR family : ) I have had dogs and cats on and off for the past 20 years. I can give meds (especially to cats, which is tricky) and assist with the needs of older and fragile pet companions. I can handle both large and small dogs and clean up after them. I can maintain your puppy training schedule while you are gone as well. Available for in-home care to keep your pet in their comfort zone!

I had to travel for a week overseas, leaving my senior dog and a house to look after. Candace listened carefully to everything I shared about the job and asked great questions. My dog was clearly well cared for - which I knew both from the brief videos Candace shared as well as how the dog acted when I got home. I could not be more pleased.

Candace did a great job taking care of our pups! She sent lots of videos too. We would happily use her again.
