Information Candace J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know general schedules, sociability, any anxieties, etc. I wouldn't want to put your dog in any situations they would be uncomfortable with, so I would need to know if they're anxious around other animals, people, etc.

A typical day

I enjoy spending my time outside so if your pet ever needs a good workout, I happy to oblige. I love to give them all the love and play time that they would like.

Loving Caregiver in Hyde Park

Pet care experience

Hello lovely pet families! It's a pleasure to meet you. I am a professional and experienced pet caregiver with several years of experience looking to support Chicago families with enthusiastic and loving pet care (I have previously worked as a pet caregiver in both Chicago, LA and Sydney, AU). I've worked with pets of all ages and am comfortable assisting pets with special needs. Not only have I worked with pets, but I've had animals in my household throughout my life from back as far as I can remember. In addition to assisting with daily doggie care in home, I'm happy to help with overnight requirements as well. As a previous pet owner and current caregiver, I understand that leaving your pets with others can be stressful and a big decision. I'll make sure to will text you photos during your pet's stay to let you know your pet is as happy and well looked after. I hope to have the chance to meet you soon!

Candace is amazing and I always feel comfortable knowing my Des is safe when she is with her. I get tons of photos of them going on walks and relaxing at home.

Candace is an excellent caretaker for pets. She’s kind, considerate, and thoughtful to pets and their owners. She did a great job caring for our dog Lucky while we were on vacation. I highly recommend Candace to care for anyone’s pet.
