Professional Expertise & Care
Pet care experience
We understand dependable dog care can be hard to find, but you can feel confident knowing your pup will be cared for as if they were home. We've used Rover for years as pet parents, and have gained a unique appreciation for how stressful it can be to find a safe and suitable sitter. Rest assured that the kindness and consideration your pet receives in our home is second to none. I have a deep love for dogs with years of experience, and my partner, Angel, is a professional dog handler & trainer. Together we make a great team providing the right mix of TLC and professional expertise to create a positive experience for you and your pup. Is your baby an escape artist? No worries! Although we've not experienced any escapes first-hand, we wanted to provide ease of mind to our worried pet parents by incorporating new Apple AirTag technology into our security & safety protocols. At the owner's request, we can clip one of our coin-sized Apple AirTags onto your pup's collar for the duration of their stay. These AirTags enable realtime pin-point positioning data, lost-mode, and temperature monitoring via Bluetooth and ultrawideband technology on the most advanced network of it's kind. Your dog getting lost is one of the last things you should have to worry about on vacation, so if this interests you, feel free to ask us for more information at our meet & greet. About Candace: I simply LOVE dogs. I am a super extra dog-mom, master belly rubber, and expert snuggler. I have foster experience with senior dogs, dogs with special needs, BIG personalities, and minor medical concerns. About Angel: He is as good natured and patient as they come. Professionally, he is an experienced K9 handler who has provided security detail for all echelons of leaders. He specializes in reward based training and is always down for a good run. Angel is qualified in K9 CPR and first aid. Flexible during the typical work week, and available for extended stays, especially during TDYs and deployments (we've been there too). If you are just visiting or have a unique situation, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Inside: Our home has a spacious semi-open layout that allows our furry guest the room to relax or play while still being cared for under a watchful eye. Outside: I have a fenced in backyard with playground mulch that helps keeps pets clean while playing. No grass = no dirt. The edges of the fence are concreted to contain even the best escape artist.
Reviews
Candace is wonderful! She made our pooch feel a part of their family, and he cuddled a lot with her. He barely even acknowledges my existence 😅, so I believe that Candace has a special place in his heart. Next time, this is our only choice should these wonderful people agree to host Bandit again!
Always a great experience for Astrid and me! Thank you so much!
I have gone to Candace several times now for sitting my 2 year old lab, and she has been terrific every time. Highly recommend and she is a quick communicator and send pictures and updates while I am gone. Thanks again!
Henry stayed with Candace last minute for almost 3 weeks. She took such amazing care of my love and he came back happy and healthy! Will definitely be using her again!

Information Candace T. would like to know about your pet
Dogs have unique personalities just like us. So please let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirks (including resource guarding, any allergies), or bad habits. I'm not here to judge as I've probably seen it all, but knowing the full scope of your dog's habits will help me provide the most thoughtful and considerate experience during their stay.
A typical day
Typical daily activities will be based on your dog. We are very observant of our furry guests and stay cognizant of their varying temperaments and energy levels. When needed, we designate separate zones throughout the house based on those energy levels. By avoiding the one-size-fits-all approach, we ensure that your energetic pup will receive enough stimulation and playtime to go home tired, or that your laid back/more introverted dog has a happy and chill environment to relax.
