I've tended to a "zoo" my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs and several fish! No animal is too big... the more the merrier. I am open to any questions and special requests you may have for your animals. I do have experience administering medication so that's definitely not an issue. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I know how timid some dogs may be, and I'm more than capable of handling them with the utmost care and consideration. In regards to pet sitting in your home, I am more than willing to take care of miscellaneous things around the home such as plants, mail, and light cleaning. I look forward to meeting you and your fur-babies very soon!

Safety, trust & environment

I have escape artists who try to out smart me at every turn - I believe this makes me more attentive than the average sitter.

My pups are my world, so I tend to be more protective of them when leaving with a sitter. Candace left them home alone multiple times and for longer times than I was comfortable. She also only let them out to the driveway twice (witnessed on ring camera) to stretch their legs for a few minutes. Otherwise it appeared they were only let out to the front deck to use the restroom. It was snowing during part of the weekend so walks would be difficult, but a little more play time outside on our property would have been more appreciated.

Candace is great with our dogs! She takes our instructions seriously and follows them perfectly. If you are overprotective of your babies like we are, don't worry when you book Candace, they are in good hands!

We were extremely pleased with Candace. We appreciated her attention to detail and restated any instructions/guidance back to us to confirm we were aligned. She also had questions for us that we haven't thought of before. We will definitely ask her to come back to take care of our babies!
