Pollywog Ranch: All About Your Pet!

Pet care experience

Experienced, reliable and exceptionally geared towards your animals here at "Pollywog Ranch." Services: Daily (2x) feeding and care, daily walks, run errands, cleaning up the yard, light housekeeping, laundry and more. *We require proof of updated vaccines from your veterinary clinic, including rabies. Your dog must be spayed/neutered; we have a strong commitment to ending our pet overpopulation challenge. We cater to each animal's needs as if they were our own "fur" children. About this sitter: Candace and Ron have been horse, dog and cat sitting for 23 years. We have always cared for and owned several types of animals: Cats, dogs, horses and chickens. Enjoy peace of mind when you travel overnight or for an extended stay because your pets will be in excellent hands. I have worked as a vet tech, at the Sacramento SPCA, owned, fostered and rescued hundreds of dogs, trained and worked with difficult dogs for many years. We are caring, responsible, law-abiding citizens with Degrees from UCD and CSUS. Candace was born and raised in Sacramento. Why I love dog sitting Candace and Ron grew up with Labrador retrievers since the age of 5 years. Both of our families always had a dog (or two) and they were, and still are, members of the family. Meet my pets Want peace of mind while you're on vacation? Then, bring your furry friend to our safe, caring and clean home with 3 senior dogs. About Us: Candace and Ron have lived, worked and played on our ranch for 23 years & have been responsible for scores of dogs and horses along the way. Our lovely little ranch in the heart of rural Rio Linda, but only 6 minutes to the freeway. Currently, we own two horses. About my yard Large fenced back yard and fenced side yard with enclosed garage. My experience administering medication Yes, I administer medication to one of my dog's daily for many years. Please note: medication management is an additional fee, contingent on the medication and how it is administered. Thank you and we look forward to caring for your four footed family members!

Mine was a drop in, not a drop off which expands concerns for your dog and house security. Candace put me at ease quickly on her first visit and even made a second trip to my house while I was away to see how my dog would respond before I left on my trip. Updates and photos on my trip we're comforting. I highly recommend Candace and will call her again. Ron Craig

Information Candace T. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog friendly? Do they enjoy walks out in a huge 6 acre pasture every day? We have a couple of friendly (and senior) dogs of our own, and they love visitors.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks: Our fenced back pasture. We walk our dogs 2x per day, rain or shine. Exercise is critically important to canines. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dogs will sleep in the house in a vari-kennel or in the enclosed garage in a kennel or "free" in the house if they are friendly. Time I'll spend with your dog We will exercise and play with your dog, watch Animal Planet with them, offer "snack time" and keep them company every day. One of us is home all day, with the exception of short errands. So, other than running to the local grocery or feed-store, someone will always be present.
