Reviews
Candace once again did an amazing job looking after our anxious older dog while we were out for an evening!
Candace was amazing with my two pups - she asked great questions about them on our meet and greet that we had prior, and kept me updated on them while I was away. She took great pictures and videos as well. I would definitely ask her to watch them again!
We will absolutely be booking Candace again! She took wonderful care of our cat Lucy over the weekend and was a pleasure to work with. She was thorough in making sure she understood Lucy's routine and needs, as well as our expectations. She was easy to reach before and during our booking, sent plenty of updates, and left our home in the same or better condition she found it.
Candace was great with my cats while I was away. I appreciated her willingness to schedule a call before agreeing to sit my cats to learn more about their schedule, special needs and preferences so she could maintain their routine and provide a seamless transition to ease their anxiety. She sent me so many great pictures and even left a fun toy for the to play with upon my return. I will definitely be rebooking with Candace anytime I need to travel. She's caring, considerate and extremely thoughtful with my cat babies.

Home
Information Candace R. would like to know about your pet
It’s important that I keep a sense of normalcy for your pet, so I’d love to collaborate on ways we can make sure they (and you) feel safe and secure. So let me know what their temperament is, if they have a special diet, sleep, or walk schedule. Are they afraid of anything by your observations? Or maybe you’re working on a new routine you’d like for me to support you with? Just let me know and we can work together.
A typical day
I love to go for early morning runs in the waterfront Navy Yard area, so naturally I’d take your pup with me for a bit of fresh air (if they can handle it!). I love to spend time at our dog park as well for some much needed socializing. I’ll also make sure to provide some really active play time for excitement and maybe even cuddles for bonding if your pet is into that!

I am a mental health professional working on a typical 9-4 pm schedule. I can provide morning and evening care that adapts to that schedule. I occasionally WFH and love to be active on those days.
