Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I am a full-time pet caregiver with open availability, allowing me to give your pet the attention and consistency they deserve. I have years of experience caring for animals and have been around pets my entire life. I offer walks, drop-in visits, in-home care, and boarding. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs—whether that means active outings, structured routines, or gentle companionship. After recently losing my own dog, I deeply understand the bond we share with our pets and treat every animal in my care like family.

I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. I’m happy to care for your pet in your home so they can stay in their familiar environment and routine. I’m very respectful of your space and make sure everything is kept clean and peaceful. If your pet stays with me, they’ll be in a cozy, calm, pet-friendly home where they’ll get lots of love, attention, and a comfortable place to rest. I really tune into each animal’s personality and needs, whether they’re playful, sensitive, or just want a calm presence. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

Compassionate Care for All Animals

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Candace, a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet parent. I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior rescues. With a lifetime of experience in pet-sitting, house-sitting, and loving dogs like my own, I truly get animals on a deep level. My own pup of 8 years (a sweet rescue!) has taught me so much about compassion, patience, and the magic of building trust.

Candace was amazing! Very friendly and understanding of my Lola's needs. Lola really felt comfortable around Candace early on, making me comfortable knowing someone was going to take care of my Baby.

Candace just recently stayed over our place to keep our little fur baby Lucy cat company in the evenings and mornings. Lucy is an indoor outdoor cat and fed twice a day, wet and dry food combined. She needs to be let out in the morning and brought in at night. We did set up a litter box just in case which we don’t typically do, but Candace kept everything nice and clean for her as well as the rest of our house. First day was a little rough because our cat is very independent and skittish with new people, but it took only one night for kitty to warm up to Candace! After that, they became pals and she sent us photos while we were away on our trip of them two. Candace is so sweet, patient, and attentive. She made sure Kitty got lots of love! Thanks Candace, Lucy will miss her cat chats with you until our next trip away.

Candace has watched our dog several times and is the most fun loving caretaker I have ever had! She is responsible, reliable and trustworthy. We have a five year-old Vizsla dog that has extreme amounts of energy and she helps with her on occasion, including overnight stays. My dog absolutely loves Candace. She is family!!!!

Candace is hands down one of the most naturally gifted animal lovers I have ever met. Our dog Pixie and two cats took to her immediately - no warm-up period, no hesitation. In fact, Pixie gets so excited to see Candace that she wiggles herself into a little happy accident every time she arrives. If that’s not a five-star endorsement, I don’t know what is. Beyond her easy rapport with animals, Candace is dependable to a fault. She shows up when she says she will, communicates clearly, and handles whatever the day brings without any drama. I never had to follow up or wonder whether everything was okay. She just handled it. If you’re looking for someone who will genuinely love your pets and treat your home with care, she’s your person.
