Pet care experience

Lions, tigers, and your cat, oh my!

Believe it or not, my first word was “kitty!” I have been a cat person since the very beginning. On that note, I've been surrounded by pets since I was born! Growing up, I was lucky enough to be raised alongside many cats and dogs, and as a result have experience taking care of pets from the time they were babies all of the way to their golden days. I understand that sometimes our pets need a little extra love or care, and there is aren’t many regiments, routines, or quirks I wouldn't be willing to undertake in order to ensure your baby is well-cared for. I am comfortable administering medication and am not bothered by sickness, hostility, or even those very uh, “broken-in” litter boxes. 🫢😄 I am also the proud owner of 2 rabbits and 2 guinea pigs, and especially love watching small animals. My husband (also a pet sitter!) and I value our clients like they are pets of our own, and genuinely love spending time with each and every one of them. 🙂

We have used Candace every time we travel because we know that our 3 cats are being given the best of care. Receiving the daily reports with pictures is so nice too.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

While I can't offer boarding surfaces in my home, I will treat my client's homes with respect and integrity. I am willing to do whatever is necessary to make pets comfortable, given that it complies with the client's wishes for their pet and their home.

Pets

A typical day

A typical visit from me will include some pets and cuddles, playing, and general maintenance (cleaning litter-boxes, feeding, etc.) I love to treat my clients cats as if they were my own, and LOVE taking pictures of them to share with the owners!

I’m pretty good at reading cats, but cats are often funny little creatures with quirks of their own. If your cat has specific fears, aversions, or things they love, telling me ahead of time will allow me to connect with your pet better!
