Candace and Jim were great to my Bella! They treated her like part of their family. Candace sent me pics and updates everyday. I had to go on a business trip for 2 weeks, which is a long time to be away, but I rested assured because she took such great care of her. I will definitely be using them again in the future.

Candace was quick to respond, easy to book with and Nixon seemed to really enjoy his time at her home. We will be in touch the next time we need a sitter. Thank you!

I could not be happier with the service Candace provided for me and my Boxer, Nala. Candace has her own very friendly dogs at her house which made the stay for my dog better than my dog has with me, living without any other pets. I have already asked Candace about providing future care for my dog. Originally I had intended to fly my dog because it was a 2 week trip. My next trip will be for less time and the decision about my dog is very simple. she will be staying with Candace. I received photos and updates every day. Candace definitely deserves a 5 start rating as far as I am concerned. Regardless of where you are located in Orange County and before you make a decision about a dog sitter, you owe to yourself and your pet to look into the services that Candace provides.
