💫 After 20 years of caring for friends' and family dogs, I've recently made the exciting transition from TV production to working from home, giving me the flexibility to welcome more dogs into my life. My journey began informally, but has grown to include everything from easing retired greyhounds into domestic life to training energetic puppies and providing gentle care for senior dogs.

I have a large garden but the fence is not secure so dogs are always kept on a lead. Luckily I'm only 5 mins walk from Chorlton Ees, and 20 from Chorlton and Sale water park.

Information Candace D. would like to know about your pet

💝 Let me know if your dog has any specific needs, or behaviours to be mindful of. I have experience working with reactive dogs, continuing existing training and administering medication.

A typical day

🐕 Doggy day care typically includes two to four walks in Chorlton Ees nature reserve dependant on their needs plus lots of playtime. 🚀 The extra mile:
happy to continue recall training, whistle training, and teaching new tricks. Whether you have a rescue dog needing confidence building, a puppy requiring more training, or a senior dog needing gentle exercise, I adapt my approach to each individual personality and energy level.

Pet care experience

❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own. While I've always loved animals, my previous career prevented me from having my own pets - which means your dog gets all my pent-up affection and attention! I’ll be delighted to send you regular updates. 🧘‍♀️My one-bedroom duplex in Chorlton provides a calm, comfortable environment for boarding, and my flexible work-from-home schedule means dogs have company all day.

Candace was fantastic! I contacted her at v short notice & she was super accommodating & made Mae feel so welcome in her lovely pooch friendly home. She gave me regular updates and gave Mae a lovely fun safe day of pup sitting. She went the extra mile - thanks so much!

Candace was absolutely fab with my golden retriever Barney. We arranged a pre-meet for her to meet him, which she was so receptive and open to. During Barneys stay with her, we received loads of pup-dates and a diary of what they did, which was amazing for an anxious mum like myself. Barney returned super happy and tired from his long walks, and I loved seeing the pictures of him bouncing through the fields. We will certainly be booking in again ! Thanks Candace!

Nellie had such a great time with Candace, lots of walks, playing and she even taught Nellie a new trick! We got lots of updates which are really appreciated and we picked up a very happy dog. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you!

I currently have a deaf podenco, he is timid, wary and fearful of most people. I don't recall him ever showing any fear of Candace, being happy to sit with, and be walked by her. Candace takes the greatest care to meet the personal needs of the animals she is trusted to walk and/or care for, treating each as an individual and following any instructions and guidance given. I wouldn't hesitate to have Candace care for my doggos.
