Reviews
Candace did a great job taking care of our dogs. She sent plenty of pictures and updates. Our house was exactly as we left it when we returned. I will definitely hire Candace again.
Candace was AWESOME! She sent me pictures everyday of my dog & they were very busy each time. My dog was extremely happy and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be back!
Candace was wonderful! She did drop-ins for my cat for a week while I was out of town
candance was great! she was very flexible with my schedule and my cat’s special feedings needs. I got updates with every check in and had peace of mind knowing someone was checking in.

Information Candace D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how I can make your pet feel as if my home is there home. Questions I would ask would be, Are they allowed to sleep in the bedroom or do they sleep crated? Do they have signs of when they need to potty? Any training you been working on? Are they dog friendly and most important cat friendly or indifferent. We have 2 cats that are comfortable around dogs we just need to know how comfortable your dog is around cats, and lastly how do they interact with children?
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks During the day we will walk thru my neighborhood about 1/2 mile to 1 mile and back, I like to allow the dogs to do their business and a nice long walk usually helps Your dog's sleeping arrangement Sleep depends on what the owners rules are If your dog is out at night then that pup can sleep in the bedroom with me either in the bed or on the floor, with the door closed, he will not be allowed to roam the house unattended. If your dog is agreeable to sleeping with another dog, same room same bed he is welcome if not we will move our dog to a different bed. If you are working on training then your pup will sleep in his crate. We do not allow dogs on furniture. Time I'll spend with your dog All day a day would be get up first pup goes for there walk while he's gone the other would eat and in reverse then we would spend a good amount of time out playing if your pet has a favorite toy please bring it I do provide toys as well What you and your furr kid can expect with a stay is; we will engage in two 15-30 minute walks a day, depending on the age and activity level of your dog this can be adjusted. I will see that all feeding, meds if necessary, are given on your pets schedule. Plenty of outdoor time in our fenced in yard, during the day. Your pet can sleep as if they are home, either on a comfy bed with me, a comfy bed on the floor or in their crate. Pictures of your furr kid can be provided via email if you wish.
