About Candace T.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, pets are supervised closely, given plenty of outdoor time, and kept on their established routine. I use a large fenced pasture for safe play and exercise, and dogs are never left unattended outside. In a client’s home, I follow their rules, routines, and expectations so pets remain comfortable in a familiar environment. I communicate regularly, keep spaces clean, and ensure their home and pet are cared for with respect and attention.

Information Candace T. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they are potty trained, and if they tear anything up, like a good pair of sneakers or flip flops.
A typical day
A typical day includes fresh air, playtime, lots of affection, and a relaxed routine. We enjoy outdoor time in the fenced pasture, sniffing, exploring, and stretching our legs. Indoors, we unwind, cuddle, and enjoy enrichment toys or quiet downtime depending on the dog’s needs.

Pet care experience
Reliable Dog Care • House Sitting • Doggy Daycare Many of my clients refer to me as a Dog Whisperer — I connect with dogs naturally and treat them with the same care and respect as my own. I’ve been caring for pets professionally through Rover since 2016, and privately for friends and community members for many years before that. Wilbur Duke, a 15 lb Yorkshire Terrier will accompany me with each visit. He is well mannered and house trained. He gets along with other dogs well. . I offer doggy daycare and in-home house sitting, including extended stays for snowbirds during the winter months. I’m comfortable with a wide range of breeds, temperaments, and routines. My priority is always your dog’s comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. I previously operated a small ranch with various animals, including horses, and today I live on a small ranch with horses and chickens. While my yard itself is not fenced, there is a large fenced pasture adjacent to my home where dogs can safely run, explore, and play. When staying in your home, I leave your space clean and cared for. I can also manage basic household duties while you're away — plant care, light tidying, mail/packages, feeding animals, and maintaining daily routines. Your dog’s happiness matters, your home matters, and I show up for both.
Reviews

Candace is the best! She was so loving and patient with our little Maizie. I didn’t worry about our baby, even though it was her first time away from home. She had a blast at “summer camp” with new big-brother Wilbur. Maizie says she can’t wait to come back. Thank you for everything, Candace!

Have called her several times now and will continue to schedule. She comes with her dog, Wilbur who is cute and cuddly. He even played with Cedar! Cedar is usually tired after the visits. Highly recommend!

Candace is a wonderful dog mom!! From the moment we met I knew Maizie would be in good hands. Candace is warm and nurturing but also aware of the mischief puppies can get into. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and kept me updated on Maizie’s progress. Maizie had fun meeting the other animals around the farm. We are hoping to leave her for a longer time next time. I know Maizie is looking forward to seeing Candace-mom and her new big brother playmate, Wilbur again. She had a great time!

Candace is friendly, comes with her own dog and is very accommodating. Cedar was not happy without me but Candace kept her schedule. I felt relaxed and confident knowing Candace was there.
