I love animals with all my heart ♥️ ! Especially the feline variety. I have lived in Fairchild Village for 23 years. We have 2 small female dogs living in our home. I’ve been married for 32 years and used to be a preschool teacher as well a travel agent. If your pet is in my care I will treat them as family. I have a Bachelors of Science Degree from Oregon State University. I’m home much of the day and love to spend time with my boarders. I will treat your pets as a part of my family with much love. I am especially good with shy dogs in my home. Please contact me and we will see if it’s a fit!

It's instantly clear that Candace genuinely cares about animals. My cat bonded with her quickly and looked forward to her visits. She is responsive, attentive and all around amazing. Would strongly recommend.

Candace was an awesome petsitter for our two kitties, Evie & Jaffy! She was very attentive to all the details of their care that I had requested. Her love of animals was readily apparent when she meet our kitties for the first time. Daily updates and photos were appreciated while we were on vacation, and gave us peace of mind. Candace also watched over our home, watering house plants and monitoring a few items with the pool. We were very pleased with all the care Candace provided and we would highly recommend her to anyone.

A typical day

We have a neighborhood park a block away. We sometimes take walks to the park. We also play ball on the basketball court. The dogs staying here become a part of our family very quickly. I spend a lot time in our back yard with the dogs sitting in the sun reading. The dogs love it.

I have the downstairs gated from the upstairs The dogs have access to the entire downstairs plus a really large backyard. Meet and greets are best made at YOUR house or out FRONT of my house as it does cause stress having people coming to the door as my husband is on business calls much of the time. I appreciate your flexibility.
