Candace was wonderful. She helped me out last minute over thanksgiving. My dog came home calm and happy. She loved Candace’s dogs and I received lots of updates. We will definitely use her again!

Candace is a wonderful person and is amazing with animals. She has a beautiful connection with both cats and dogs. She has a natural talent and passion for them. Her dogs are always well fed, groomed, cleaned and most importantly happy. To go along with her care of animals, she is extremely driven and responsible. Her house is always clean and organized and would be an excellent location for an animal day care. You dogs will love Candace!

Candace has the biggest heart when it comes to animals! I have known Candace for years and she is constantly rescuing, rehabilitating, training, and nurturing animals. She has Great Danes and is not afraid of the slobber or mess that comes along with big pups. She is very in tune to her animals needs and knows when something isn’t right. She treats every animal like it’s her own and her pets are family members. Candace is responsible, loving, down to earth, and animals can sense her positive vibes. I would recommend her in a heartbeat for anyone needing care for their pet!

Pets

A typical day

There are parks and tracks on base to walk and my neighborhood is a wonderful place to walk. I have a large fenced yard and friendly dogs myself. Lots of time for fetch and walking as well as napping and cuddles. For long term clients I like to do little surprises like pet paintings and things of that nature.
