Puppy-like energy w/ flexible hours

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Candace! I grew up around all different kinds of animals. For as long as I can remember we've had dogs, cats, small animals and at one point I've even cared for horses. I understand more than anyone that our pets are our family, they should be treated as such. I work from home running my own business, so I am always home to care for your four legged friend. This also allows me to have a very flexible work schedule so I am almost always available. I am an extremely active person that enjoys hikes, running on occasion and many other outdoor activities. Typically, I carry with me a doggie day bag when I go out. It usually contains poop bags, dog safe wipes, paw butter, extra bottles of water, a couple of tennis balls and a bowl. So your dog will get the treatment he/she deserves! I have a well socialized two year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi named Mugen who loves hanging out with all dogs. He has experience with with puppies and senior dogs both big and small. He's very energetic and prefers to play with equally energetic dogs. I have personally trained him from when he was a puppy so I am excellent when it comes to rewarding basic training commands. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to message me. I'd be happy to chat with you! Cat Owners! I also take care of cats (food, boxes, etc) for drop-in visits.

Candace has been doing a great job caring for my boys. Very trustworthy and I enjoy her photo reports while I am at work.

Candace is amazing with our 9 month old golden retriever. She is friendly, reliable, and great with animals. I would recommend her to watch or walk your pets!

Candace was amazing! She was very attentive to my dog’s needs. She even spent a little time cuddling with her.

Information Candace G. would like to know about your pet

When contacting me, please tell me about your dogs temperament, size/age, triggers, allergies and habits. We will need to have a meet and greet prior to any dog sittings, I need to make sure 100% that your pup is a good fit for our home. I will not accept any dogs for sittings that I haven't done a meet and greet or I haven't previously worked with before. Dog boarding is reserved for repeat clients only! Thank you for your understanding. While our dog is friendly with most other dogs we would prefer to watch equally friendly dogs who are well socialized. Since we have a dog that is lower to the ground and I'd prefer larger dogs with a relaxed temperament (our corgi has a tendency to get run over by larger energetic dogs). I would also prefer neutered and trained dogs so that accidents in the house are minimal. Dog sittings 10+ hours with late pickups are negotiable, additional rates may apply. Another note: We do have two cats, if your dog isn't okay with cats, that's okay! They have their own room to play in while your dog is visiting. Please just let us know ahead of time. Thank you!

A typical day

For walks, typically I will stay within my neighborhood, but occasionally I will go to one of the local parks in the area. We will play fetch with tennis balls or frisbee in our large fenced in yard. We also have a medium sized agility tube for your pup to run through. If it's too hot outside, there are plenty of indoor activities we can do. We will practice basic commands, play tug of war or pull out the toy basket for extra fun.
