Pet care experience

I am a animal lover who works from home.

I have experience with special needs pets requiring medication and specialized care. I have a small fenced in yard, since I work from home your pet will never be left unattended.

Candace took such good care of my Finn! She is sweet and kind and made me feel comfortable leaving my pup with her. She was responsive to my requests for a Meet & Greet and sent photos and updates while we were out of town. I would definitely use her again.

We had such a positive experience with Candace. My mom was getting surgery and we needed to board her dogs. Candace was so understanding and accommodating. One of my mom’s dog’s is blind, Candace was very understanding and worked hard to make him and us feel comfortable. It’s clear that she knows animals and is very experienced. We will definitely be using her again and I will recommend her to friends.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
