Work from home, walk/run your dog

Pet care experience

I've become the "geriatric" dog sitter for several friends. I'm happy with pups of all ages, though. No problem handling special needs, in fact I enjoy it. I've trained several puppies over the years and am very forgiving of their "mishaps" and love their puppy kisses.

Candace was an excellent sitter; she was SUPER attentive to us and the furbabes! We left for a week and Candace was in contact multiple times daily even with holidays in the mix. I am always worried about our pup Rue, because of separation anxiety/past issues along with some special needs, and then meds for one of our cats. Candace made it so we could be at ease, and we are even still chatting. It is clear she treats our furbabes like her own, and we would call her back in a heart beat. (Not to mention she left the house spotless!) Thanks so much Candace!?❤️?

Candace was great with Buster. She is a loving caretaker and I never hesitate to leave my furbaby with her! I would highly recommend her.

I don't entrust my furbabies to just anyone (we have a puggle with ataxia in the hind legs (treated with meds) and a senior doggo who can sometimes be a little grouchy with our puggle). Candace was referred to me by a mutual friend. She took great care of our kids and sent us pictures the whole time to help put my mind at ease. She provided regular updates, flagged any items that seemed out of character, and administered meds without any issue. She also has a nice fenced in yard that the pups could run around in and get some exercise, but she took them on walks too. When we picked them up, I got a full download of all their time together and I couldn't have been happier.

Candace is wonderful with dogs, she truly loves them. She was the only person I trusted with my old and needy 17 year old baby when I travelled. I highly recommend her and will use her again.

I live on the first floor of a home in Old Louisville and my backyard is mostly fenced. I never let a dog out unattended, though. The Toonerville Dog Park is just a block away, but I most enjoy walking Central Park.

Availability

I work primarily from home so if you have wifi I can work from yours. I have a pretty flexible schedule so I just need a little advance notice for walks. I'm pretty centrally located in the city so I can get most places in 15 - 20 minutes within the Watterson.
