Pet care experience

Lifetime animal lover ❤️🐾

I have always had pets.. dogs, cats, chinchillas, birds, and gerbils. I also worked at a vet clinic for 4 years during college. I was also a volunteer with the Blackhawk Wildlife Rehab, rehabilitating animals such as raccoons, deer, eagles and other various birds. I had 2 senior chihuahuas who passed away 2 years ago and now I have a 2 year old English goldendoodle named Sonny. He loves other animals so much.

We had such a great experience and are so thankful for the care our two miniature poodles received! One of our dogs was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so I was a little nervous leaving him, especially since his care now includes insulin injections, supplements, and a raw food diet. It was definitely a lot to take on, and I was so impressed with their willingness to learn his routine and make sure everything was taken care of. Communication was wonderful throughout their stay. If there were ever any questions or concerns, they reached out right away and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. When we picked the boys up, they were happy and well cared for. I’m so grateful for the extra time, attention, and care they gave them, especially with Rocco’s new needs. We would absolutely feel comfortable leaving them here again and highly recommend them!

Candace and family were amazing with our puppy! We were so excited to see pictures of him having fun and being a part of their family for the week! We loved seeing his happy smiles, and could see he was well-loved while we were away! Great communication, and a great experience!!! Thanks Candace and Fam!!!

This is the second time we’ve used them to watch our two dogs—they take such great care and we know the dogs are in good hands!
