Pet care experience

Experienced & loving pet caregiver

I am a animal lover who works from home. I have done pet sitting and animal rescue for the past 17 years, I have been a foster home for countless dogs and cats of all ages and breeds throughout the years. 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. My goal is for your pet to feel like they are in a second home when with me.

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.

I’m so glad I found Candace. It’s so hard for me to leave my pup with anyone but after speaking to Candace I knew he’d be ok. She immediately realized my dog is a four legged toddler and just wants to be with a human all the time. I truly felt at ease while I was away. I will definitely be going back to Candace!

A typical day

I will do any kind of play or exercise your pet wants or needs. If you have a dog that wants to sleep all day that's fine. If you have a dog who want to play fetch and go on long walks that's fine too.
