Pet care experience

My name is Candace and I have spent the last few years educating myself in pet care, health, nutrition and behavior, as well as, business development & management, and a complete pet first aid course. I absolutely love my job and take it very seriously. I understand that you are trusting me with the care of a very important part of your family and your personal property. I am committed to providing the finest professional pet and home care services available. I achieve this by always placing my clients and their pets as my highest priority. This is my full time job, so I am dedicated to being there for you and your pets in the most reliable, friendly, caring, professional and experienced manner. I strive to surpass your expectations of a professional pet care provider. I am committed to staying on the leading edge of the pet sitting industry practices. I subscribe to pet care periodicals, keep current on the latest pet care issues and pass relevant information, such as pet food recalls, on to my clients. I have experience as a veterinary assistant and volunteer regularly with Canines for Service. I have experience with senior and special needs pets. I am experienced in giving medications and injections. I can even care for your horses, rabbits, reptiles, etc. while you are away. I currently reside in Castle Hayne, NC with my husband, Jason, our German Shepherd/Golden Retriever Mix, Miller, our very young Golden Retriever, Casserole, our two cats, Moka & Molly, and our horse, Hotshot. I have been pet sitting for 10+ years and don’t ever remember a time that I didn’t have a dog or cat in my home. My business is based on the belief that my clients' needs are of the utmost importance. I am committed to meeting those needs. I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and deliver the best service to you and your pets.

This was our first experience using Candace as a sitter for our cat, Haddy. Of course I was a bit nervous as we were going to be gone for an extended period (11 days), and I wasn’t sure how Haddy would react. While we were away, Candace told me that Haddy was doing well, and upon my return, it was obvious to see that she had been very happy. Instead of ignoring me out of spite like she often does when I return home, Haddy was very snuggly and attentive. So I could tell she enjoyed herself during Candices stay! Candace sent me pictures at least once a day at my request, and that really helped me to feel comfortable being away from my kitty. She even bought Haddy some fun new toys! We returned home not only to a happy cat, but a sparkling clean house (Candace stayed here instead of doing drop-ins), the mail brought in, and even a new plant in our garden watered! It was such a comfort to know that someone was taking care of our home when we were gone, and more importantly to us, that Haddy had company during that time as well. We are looking forward to having Candace again as a Cat Sitter! I feel really pleased that rover.com has brought us to wonderful caretakers for our precious kitty.

My 5-year old Lab had a wonderful stay with Candace. She got along great with Candace's dog. It was great for her to have someone to play with. I'm not sure she wanted to leave when I came to pick her up!

Candace did a great job watching my dogs while I was away for the weekend. Being new in town, I wasn't sure who to call and did not want to board them. Candace was able to come stay at my house and make my dogs (and me) feel comfortable. She kept me updated with pictures and texts during the stay. Would highly recommend!

Information Candace H. would like to know about your pet

It is always good to know what makes dogs happy. What their fears or what gives them anxiety so that I am able to accommodate approximately.

A typical day

We would enjoy going to the park, walks around the neighborhood, beach or swimming. Throwing the ball, or or playing tug of war. Your dog(s) will feel like they are on a constant field trip.
