Passionate about Pets

Pets have always been included in my life since childhood. I’ve had an innate passion for pets, whether they were mine or others. Our last four legged family member we rescued at 16 months and she passed at 14 years old. We walked every day, twice a day, she loved it and so did I! I came home from work on my lunch hour to be with her. Owning a dog comes with big responsibilities to care for them as well as they love and care about you. We also owned three cats, all were indoor cats and they stayed with us until their end. Cats and dogs are truly gifts to be treasured and cared for each and every day of their blessed lives.

Candace took excellent care of our dog, Pepper. She kept us updated every day with texts and photos. The experience was far better than using a traditional kennel. We wouldn't hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Candace was amazing! She took such great care of my dog, Ellie, and kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel completely at ease. They went on walks, played ball, and it was obvious my dog was having the best time and getting tons of attention. I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would 100% recommend Candace to anyone looking for a fantastic pet sitter!

Candace is the best Dogsitter you will find. She did wonders with our exuberant German shepherd Paisley. After an 8-day stay Paisley came back a very happy and more well-mannered dog. Paisley clearly loves Candace and her husband Joe. They treated her like loved family and it shows. Multiple walks a day, boiled liver, and inclusion with family festivities. We will definitely use her again! Recommend highly.

Candace and Joe were amazing! This was our first time using Rover and Candace was so kind and helpful while I figured out the service. She was also so patient with my evolving schedule. We got updates and pictures that showed our pup was being well cared for. I'm so appreciative and if we lived in the area, I would 100% be a repeat customer!!
