Pet care experience

Dependable loving pet care!

I’ve taken care of many dogs of all sizes. I have also bread and raised 4 miniature schnauzer who were full of energy! I have two miniature schnauzer’s of my own and I have potty trained them thoroughly. I grew up with 3 dogs and 2 cats my whole life so I’m very comfortable with both dogs and cats!

Our dog Gracie loved her stay with Candace so much she didn’t want to leave! Candace kept me informed abut Gracie with frequent photos and updates. She did a wonderful job taking care of Gracie. I will definitely book with Candace again in the future.

No issues! Provided updates without prompt. Offered to show main area where doggo would be. Made me feel reassuring my dog would be fine. We will be back for sure!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I currently work an 8-5 M-F, but I come home for lunch around 12/1pm for an hour to let my dogs out. Yours would be on the same routine! My husband and I walk our pups a few times a week, weather provided. I am home most weekends unless my calendar is blocked off.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a new metal fenced-in back yard and I have two miniature schnauzers to keep your fur baby happy and worn out! They love to run! I can also keep yours or mine in a crate if needed. I have a basement that’s available for them to run around, if you prefer them to be separate from my dogs. I also do not mind if they get on the furniture. They will get plenty of time outdoors and I have plenty of toys for them to play with but always suggest bringing a toy or two of your own for them! They will always be crated at night while we are asleep in our home or blocked in via gate downstairs, whatever they are used to.

Pets

A typical day

I love taking my dogs on a walk when it’s nice out. They all love running and playing outside. If it’s nice enough out, I leave the back door open so they can come in and out as they please. I also love to play fetch with them and give them toys to keep them busy for long periods of time so they don’t feel bored or lonely. Every once in a while I’ll take them to the dog park down the street.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, requests, or things that they prefer, don’t like, etc. If they have to be fed a certain way or time, please let me know your schedule. If they are trained at all, I would also like a list of their commands that they are used to as everyone trains their dogs differently.
