Pet care experience

Super animal lover and avid walker

I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I was a veterinary technician for 20 years before I became a stay at home mom to my daughter, Jordan I love this opportunity on Rover, because it joins my two favorite things—animals and the outdoors. This is a great way for me to teach my daughter animal husbandry.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not own any pets so I am free to take care of other animals. If I need to check on an animal, I usually spend about an hour with them. (Letting them out, feeding and watering, snuggling). If I am walking, I will walk for an hour. Or an agreed time frame.

Candace is a true animal lover. Our girls warmed right up to her! She was on time and made sure they were well cared for. Loved the photos she sent!

Candace took great care of our puppy while we were out to dinner! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease. Josh was happy and well cared for when we got home. We'd definitely book with her again!

Candace was my first person I have used in rover, and I am so pleased! She not only comes with years of experience with pets, she will walk and take care of all your pets needs! I use her services weekly and she sends the best photos of my golden and she does all the crazy requests and routines I have for him! I am so happy and thankful that I found someone who treats my pup so great!
