Lifetime animal lover ❤️🐾

Pet care experience

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.

Candace and her husband made us feel so comfortable being away from our dog for 9 days. We got plenty of updates and pictures of our happy girl. They also administered our dog a daily medication. We will definitely use them again!
