Pet care experience

Ready to spoil your furbabies!

Hello! I am Candace. I am a full time pet sitter with lots of love to give. I have been around animals since my childhood. From cats, dogs, horses, goats, chickens, pigs, ducks, turkeys, rabbits, fish and snakes. In my childhood, I took on the role of primary caretaker of my pets in the household not because I was told to but because I genuinely loved it. I knew it was something for me. Friends and family always come to me first to care for their pets because they know their animals are in safe hands and will return healthy and happy. I also have fostering experience and saved 20 cats and kittens in that duration of time. I am reliable and trustworthy when it comes to taking care of pets. I have a motherly nature and many pets tend to gravitate towards me in my presence. I am a very calm and loving person. I will show your pets as much love as you do. I am available to walk, play and feed your pets as needed. I have no problem taking lots of update photos of your furry friends if you choose me for a service. If I am in your home, I will follow your rules that you lay out for your pets. *If time allows, I will always encourage a meet and greet to see if I'm a good fit for your furbabies! Disclaimers: *Bookings will only be reserved (held) after payment confirmation on Rover. I do accept other clients if our booking is not confirmed. This allows me to have other opportunities and to fill up my calendar. I do send out a courtesy message letting you know that I am no longer available if I do get booked on the dates you requested. *A late fee will be charged for any requests booked with short notice. I recommend booking a week in advance (at least) so I can get a general understanding for what that upcoming week will look like.

Candace is great, she is very communicative, kind and available if needed. Millie has been a very happy pup since Candace started walking her and we are so grateful for her.

Candace was so great, she did everything we asked and was very responsive and our two dogs loved her! We hope she’s available the next time we go out of town, we will 100percent ask her to come back.

Candace was amazing! We wish we could give 10 stars! She took such good care of our kitties. We had her drop in each day for a week. She sent pics and very detailed visit reports each day. You can tell that Candace really loves animals and enjoys her work. Definitely recommend!

I was really nervous to leave my cat with someone that wasn’t a friend that I know. Candace sent me multiple pics and updates through out the week and was super quick to answer any messages and followed my packets of information. She also left my place clean! Took out trash and folded blankets and everything, 20/10 super great and eased my anxiety during my trip!!!

Schedule

I'm currently a full time pet sitter. My typical day consists of other drop in visits usually during midday. I do workout for about 1-2 hours at the gym. I will be gone for portions during the day up to 3-4 hours unless communicated otherwise.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Candace can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Is your pet allowed on furniture? Do they free roam at night or in a crate? Do you add anything to their food whether it be medication or supplements? How is your dog/cat around new people? Have they ever had a sitter before? Do they have separation anxiety?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
