Pet care experience

Care. Love. Compassion. Pets!

I have 15 years of experience caring for my own dogs and 4+ years of experience working and managing a professional dog daycare, boarding, and grooming facility. I have cared for dogs as small as a 12 week teacup Chihuahua to as large as a Presa Canario Mastiff. I have cared for dogs with allergies, seizures, trachea/swallowing issues, as well as dogs with various back ailments. I have Black Lab (Lyra), & a Landseer Newfoundland (Sebastiano), and 2 cats (Amp & Aster). We love to play soccer and go for walks around the neighborhood (Sometimes our cats even joins in on the fun 😊). The pups also love to go swimming rain or shine. Taking care of all of them, training them, and playing with them is the best part of my day! I can't wait to care for your pets too!

Safety, trust & environment

I love playing fetch outside with your active pup (or cat if they are anything like mine ☺️). I'm also just as happy cuddling on the couch with your couch potato.

Candice was amazing! She took good care of our pups, including one that started feeling under the weather before we left on vacation. She was attentive and did a great job monitoring all (3) , giving them their meds, and providing a lot of TLC. She sent us excellent updates and reached out with questions. We could not be happier!

Candace is a fantastic dog sitter. She can be trusted with confidence. She has taken away my anxieties of leavening my dog for extended periods
