One Who Spoils Fur Babies

Pet care experience

I am a school teacher who is taking the upcoming year off and filling my time with what I love..time with fur babies. I have always had dogs and was a dog photographer when I was married. I also have worked in a dogie daycare for a period of time before I went back to teaching. I live in a beautiful area with Ramsey Creek dog park across the street and a wonderful neighborhood to walk the dogs in. I hope to hear from you soon.CandaceAbout this sitter:I am a middle age/ fit, school teacher who has decided to take the upcoming school year off and would love to spend my available time pet sitting/ walking your fur baby. I have 2 small dogs, have been a dog owner my whole life and live in the beautiful area of Cornelius. I could take your dog to Ramsey Creek Park or just take on a pleasant walk around the West Moreland community if they stay with me. I would also go to your house if close to Cornelius area if preferred. Before I went back to teaching I was a dog photographer and actually worked in a doggie daycare. In my home I only watch small to medium dogs. For walking, size does not matter.Why I love dog sittingI have been a dog lover all of my life. I have also had dogs my entire life, and all of them have lived a very long and healthy life (13 on average). My one personal dog who was a French Bulldog lived to 15! Which is unheard of for this breed.Meet my petsI have a 11 .5 year old Pomeranian and a 2 year old Brussels Griffon (dog breed in As Good As It Gets). Both are very socialized and love people and other dogs.About my yardI have a fenced in patio/yard surrounded with a dogie door from my house to the patio. The dogs are allowed on my furniture and sleep in my bed or a plush dog bed next to me. Balance and tranquility is what your fur baby receives when staying with me.My experience administering medicationYes, I am good with giving pills, liquid medication and know how to administer shots to diabetic dogs.

Candace was awesome! Had to leave my 8 week puppy with a sitter for the first time and when we picked her up she was so happy and ready for bed! She had a couple little dogs of her own there and my pup had a great time getting to play. Love knowing i can take my fur baby somewhere so she can have fun with other pups ina great place!100% recommend!! And i will definitely be using her in the future!

Candace was amazing with my dog Mia. She was very nice and personable and I could tell that my dog was in good hands from the moment we spoke. I will absolutely ask her to watch my dog again!

Candace was wonderful with our dog; she treated him like one of her own. She sent us several pictures during the week to let us know how he was doing; we will definitely be calling her again!

Information Candace R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about its size and demeanor, as well as any special needs it may have. I definitely would prefer toy breeds or dogs under 30 pounds.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will take your dog on a nice walk around the beautiful neighborhood of Westmoreland with many play grass areas, or I could take them to Jetton Park, or if he/she is a social dog, I could take them to Ramsey Creek Dog Park across the street. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep in my bedroom with one of many super plush dog beds to choose from, you can see this in one of my pictures. I do have 2 kennels which I could bring in the house if the dog would be more comfortable to sleep in that type of setting as well . Time I'll spend with your dog For the summer, I am home most of the day except for an hour of exercise. The dog would be very spoiled with time and affection.
