Pet sitting is my full time job!

Pet care experience

My name is Candace, and I am a reliable and loving pet care provider with a background in Veterinary medicine. I have experience in handling and caring for animals of all sizes and species. I've spent the last 16 years building long lasting relationships with animals and their owners. Your pets happiness and care is my priority. I strive to provide care and love, so much that your pet won't even realize you're away! I grew up with dogs all my life but currently I have 2 dogs; one is a 6 year old Boston bulldog, and the other is a 3 year mix. I am usually always available for all your pets needs and on short notice. I am very comfortable with distributing any medication your pet may need, and I have experience in giving IV fluids and injections. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.

Another great stay! Our dogs and cats love Candace. Having her sit with them and the house really puts our minds at ease, allowing us to truly get into that vacation mode.

This was our first time leaving our pup overnight. We're retired and rarely travel w/out our dog. We were understandably nervous. Candace was wonderful! She was understanding of our concern and sent multiple pics and messages during her stay. We had a a snow storm during our trip. She kept us informed of conditions and even cleared our sidewalk. When we returned our pup was happy to see us but I swear she was looking for Candace, also! We will definitely call upon her again.

Candace provided my partner and I complete peace of mind whike ! We knew our two dogs and two cats were in the best hands possible with her daily updates and creative photos. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were being well cared for and entertained. Candace's attentiveness and love for animals were evident in everything she did. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy house sitter.

Candace is absolutely amazing- the pups fell completely in love with her! They had the best time and we got plenty of updates to know that they were well taken care of! Cannot recommend Candace enough!
