Pet care experience

A pet sitter that cares :)

Hello, I'v worked at a animal hospital for 18 years. I have been pet sitting for 20 years as well now too. I really enjoy pet sitting, so now im just pet sitting alone. No longer at the hospital. Here I am ready and available to be with your pets full time. I dont have a car but I'm not worried about how far anyone lives since I dont have to worry about traveling to my other job each day anymore. So I'm ok with all of Broward County now. I live in Hillsboro Beach but I can go about 25 miles from home. I'm able to give any oral/topical medications your pets may have. Playing and going for walks is a given. But I like to tidy up the house before you get home too. By dumping the trash and sweeping or vacuuming any hair your pet may have shedded. I'll put any of the towels and linens that I've used in the laundry as well. I'm a neat person so I tend to just keep everything as I found it. And of course I'll check the mail and bring in any packages you may receive. Watering any plants you need watered is fine as well. They are alive too 😊 Taking care of your pets and home is what I do and love. Can't wait to meet your little fur babies! Sincerely, Candace :) P.S. You can also see more content/reviews on my Facebook page, " Candace's In-Home Pet Sitting LLC ".

Safety, trust & environment

I always walk your pets on a leash when on walks. And make sure all doors or gates are closed so none can escape. Carefully watching them not to get into anything they shouldn't be getting into. And monitoring their behavior incase anything changes in personality, eating habits or sickness/injury.

Candace always takes such great care of our babies- playing with them and talking to them. They love Candace. She goes the extra mile and gives them a bath if they need one! Thank you!

Candace is such a sweetheart and made me feel very comfortable entrusting her with our home and with our dogs. I loved how she sent updates frequently and bonded with our dogs. I don’t like leaving my dogs to go out of town, but now I’m happy to have found someone I can rely on, and that my dogs love too.

Wonderful - could not ask for a better person for Tank. Reliable, loving obviously cares about doing a good job but also show her love for dogs. We were able to enjoy our daughter’s wedding safe in the knowledge Tank was happy and cared for. Thank you Candace you are amazing !

Candace is the best pet sitter I have had. She really embraced my boy and I could tell he was comfortable with her. Candace got down on the floor with my boy and showed him she cared. Candace gave Seymour time to warm up and she encourage him to come out from hiding and he did. Candace sent me photos and videos of her time with Seymour and I felt comfortable being away. For someone who has a spoiled loved pet this is really important, and Candace nailed it.

I like to know thier eating habits. Where they walk. If they are good with pets or people on walks. If they need any meds. What they are afraid of. And if they have any allergies, sickness or injuries.
