SMALL TOWN PET CARE
Pet care experience
SERVICES AVAILABLE FOR ARMSTRONG AREA ONLY** I was raised on a farm with everything from chickens to giant Kangal dogs. Animal care has been a big part of my life. Both of my own dogs I have rescued and hand fed from birth. I have experience caring for reptiles, cats, puppies, large/small dog breeds and rabbits. I’ve spent the last few years caring for Armstrong friends’ and families’ farm animals and pets while on vacation and I would love to do the same for you!
Reviews
We had Candace stay with our dogs and we unfortunately had some things happen with the house ( nothing to do with Candace) while we were away. She was so helpful and took it all in stride. She was very accommodating and we came home to 2 very happy dogs. Would recommend Candace to those looking for someone to care for their pets

Safety, trust & environment
I try to stick to the exact same routine that the pet(s) are used to from their owner (ie. walks and food around the same time). I find this makes the animal the most comfortable with me and more likely to enjoy my company. I also usually like to meet the pets before with the owner if possible.
Information Candace N. would like to know about your pet
Alerting me of any medications your pet needs is EXTREMELY important as well as the schedule they require. While I do not have a professional or veterinary background in animal medication, I have a half a decade of experience with both oral and injection-based administration (specifically with puppies and kittens). I like to know what an animals habits (good and bad) are. I also like to know what the family “rules” are (ie. dog allowed on couch? Or in bedrooms?). Knowing any food allergies or preferences is also a must.
A typical day
When caring for large dogs breeds, a good game of fetch and a brisk walk is my go-to activity with them. I also love just sprinting full speed with high energy breeds. They get a thrill and the plus side is they burn off all that energy.

Availability
I am currently working 4-5 days a week so animals that require 24 hour supervision may not be the best fit for me. I work 2 weeks evening shift and 2 weeks day shift rotating. I often also get long weekends off entirely which opens up my time available.
