Being a remote IT professional, I set up my workspace where the pets hang out, like the dining room, kitchen counter, or living room. Dogs make the best co-workers! I have the ability to take several breaks throughout the day for short walks or playtime outside. After work and on weekends, I enjoy longer walks, snowshoeing on the trails, or just snuggling up and watching TV...depending on your dog's needs. I'm somewhat of a homebody so once I get settled, I spend a lot of time at home with your pets.

I am highly flexible and attentive to your specific needs. During our meet and greet, I will tailor my services to ensure your pets and home are cared for just as you would!

Information Candace I. would like to know about your pet

I absolutely love black Labs and Rhodesian Ridgebacks! So if you're nervous about leaving your high-maintenance Ridgie, no worries! Additionally, I specialize in Vizslas, Yorkies, Dachshunds, and most hound breeds. In addition, I have a lot of experience with rabbits, fish, and reptiles. Specifically, lizards, iguanas, and bearded dragons. I'm willing to care for snakes in a pinch, just not ones that require a lot of handling. Feeding is them is okay, but I prefer reptiles with legs. Sorry, NO birds.

A typical day

I enjoy taking walks with your pets in your neighborhood or local parks. Occasionally, I also take dogs on hikes or snowshoeing adventures, but these activities are discussed during our meet and greet.

Pet care experience

My lifelong love for animals began as the neighborhood cat sitter and grew into a family passion for caring for dogs. Since joining Rover in 2015, I’ve had the joy of hosting over 300 dogs—from playful puppies to senior pets requiring medication and special care. In addition to dogs, I have extensive experience caring for cats, rabbits, and reptiles, and I’m comfortable supporting pets with unique routines or specialized needs. Recently, I transitioned from a partnership to running my pet sitting business solo. While Eric is no longer regularly involved, I remain fully committed to providing attentive, personalized care for every pet. After the loss of our beloved Buddy, we have recently welcomed a new puppy, Enzo, who stays home with my husband while I care for your pets. I’m happy to introduce him if your dog would enjoy a companion, but I typically keep him home to ensure your pet receives my full attention. Alongside pet care, I offer full-service house sitting with the utmost discretion and professionalism. I’ve cared for high-end homes with attention to detail, security, and respect for your space—ensuring everything is just as you left it when you return. I treat every animal like family, and even the most anxious pets quickly settle into a calm, comfortable routine with me. Let’s schedule a meet and greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet’s needs and how I can support your home while you're away.

Candace is a wonderful dog sitter. She truly understands individual dog personalities and takes the time to get everything just right. Her attention to detail and approach gave me complete peace of mind. I would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her.

Candace did a great job with our 3 girls (all 60+ lb dogs). She sent me photos during the visit and took great care of our home. Would definitely recommend!

As always (our 4th-5th time with her, will book again!) Candace was fabulous. Our pup is always happy and healthy when we get home and we are kept up to date throughout the sit. Candace has also even washed her linens etc. which isn’t expected but a lovely surprise!
