Candy's Care, always there!!

My name is Candace and I moved to Tampa 2 years ago from the middle-of-nowhere (Waxhaw), North Carolina. I am currently going to school for Business Management, hoping one day to open my own animal care business. I know I have what to takes, to give me your trust with your loving pet, and I feel I am special because I have a connection with animals. I grew up in a time where electronics didn't take over. I played outside with my cousins and animals from sunrise to sunfall, exploring the woods and wilderness. I tamed many wild cats and dogs also, with patience sitting in the backyard until they trusted me to be our pet! I would get off the school bus, and practically all the neighborhood dogs would come running to me for play time! I enjoy animals and believe they need just as much care and love as humans. I had to leave behind my pets at home with my family, so I currently own no pets (except for my turtles). As much as I would love to adopt one, I cannot be selfish for I have a full work and school schedule, and I would not be able to dedicate the time needed towards any pet. So, for now, please allow your pets to be in the hands of someone special, like me, Candy! I also provide Vet Visits at $25/ hour and $25 round trip transportation.

Cannot say enough great things about Candace! She is truly the best - my boys love her and she always makes sure they get extra love when we travel. She also sends tons of photos and detailed updates which is greatly appreciated.

Candace was so great with our frenchie! We so appreciated her patience in making sure Ruby was comfortable and had time to warm up to her. We definitely recommend Candace!

Candace was a great dog walker. She was able to help me out last minute & even meet my dog same-day. She was very professional, even bringing a checklist of questions to ask about my dog. She was really nice as well, to me & my dog. Also sent lots of pictures each walk.

Wonderful cat sitter. Our cat has seizures and needs meds twice a day. Candace administered the meds perfectly. She even carried in a rug that had been delivered early while we were away. Above and Beyond!
