1 DOG AT A TIME

I’m a Stay at Home Mom with 2 boys. We will be able to give your dog/precious furry child our full attention. *We only need your dog to be comfortable with elementary school age boys.* Your dog will stay active with us, we’ll do everything we can together! We recently lost our sweet dog of 14 years and we are only ready to babysit and care for dogs in our local area at this time. Not ready for our own yet! So there are no other animals in the home. Your dog will have 1:1 care. Let me know specifically how you care for your dog and I will do my best to make sure your dog feels loved and cozy! I think it’s really important to send videos and photos of your dog while you are away. I think it’s best to keep you updated. I will ALWAYS keep you informed of all activities and if I have any issues. I have a clean sweet home and would love your dog to add to its joy.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 27, 2020

Candace was so wonderful to my sweet girl! She always kept me updated on how her day was. And she was so flexible and kind about pick up and drop off times. She’s a great dog person and loves my pup as one of her own!! We definitely will be using Candace again in the near future.

Candace was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had ! She was incredibly caring, playful, and active with our dog. She sent daily updates and photos; we never had to worry about our dog. I can’t say enough positive things about Candace and her family, she is an incredibly caring person and it showed in how well she cared for our dog! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and reliable dog sitter !!

Candace took wonderful care of my pooch and went above and beyond in making her feel at home! We got plenty of updates and photos throughout her stay. Our dog requires a bit of extra care from a heart condition and Candace made sure that she was keeping up with it and updating us on everything. I loved knowing my dog was in her care.

Candice was very sweet and took great care of our boy Wyatt as if he was her own. Candace kept us up-to-date with daily texts and photos. We highly recommend Candace and look forward to using her in the near future.

Schedule

As a stay at home mom and homeschool parent I have the time to care and give your dog attention he/she needs. Our family finds so so much joy in caring for dogs. After our dog passed, the void of a dog has been very weird, we love fitting time in our day to care for a special furry friend.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
Children 6-12 years old

Safety, trust & environment

We have a lovely walking neighborhood to give your dog the daily activity he/she needs. Our backyard is large and has so many squirrels for your dog to chase. I do not let a dog out and shut a door, the perk of not having a fence is that I am outside with your dog watching he/she as they run around the yard.

A typical day

2-3 walks a day. Lots of outdoor time to wander and smell. Play time inside and outside. My kids will keep your dog busy as they will be home constantly too.

Please let me know everything about diet, exercise and temperament of your dog. Very qualified in care for elderly dogs. I have cared for stray puppies until re-homed many times so I am also very comfortable with potty training and cleaning up accidents. Just a part of puppy life. Just be very transparent with me about your dog. I am very understanding and willing to help the best I can.
