The Tail Tells the Tale!

Pet care experience

I have a Bachelor degree in Animal Science. I have owned and operated a cageless doggy day care, so I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs. I have 2 dogs of my own, both are seniors. I also foster English Setters. I can provide pet sitting in your house or mine, as long as everyone gets along, dog walking or back yard playing, and pet taxi to the groomers, vet appointment or run pet related errands. Why I love dog sitting I have always had a dog(s) in my life. My love of dogs allowed me to open and operate one of the first all cageless doggy daycare and boarding facility in the area. Meet my pets I have a cat, Clyde, plus my 2 dogs. About my yard My back yard has a 6' fence. The yard is not huge - city lot. I have a ramp leading out the back door for senior dogs. Have experience administering medication Yes.

Candace was very professional, timely, and friendly. I left for a two week trip and felt more at ease while Candace watched my two dogs. She always kept in touch with how the dogs were doing, and I returned to two happy and healthy dogs. Would definitely recommend Candace to anyone.

This was a great experience. Candy took great care of my babies. I got several pictures and a video. I will definitely go back to Candy.

Information Candace T. would like to know about your pet

The dog will have to be friendly with cats and be neutered, unless it is under 9 months of age. I have owned several different breeds of dogs plus with the doggy daycare business I am familiar with many different breeds. Each dog will be evaluated on a case by case bases for suitability in my house and your house.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks My neighborhood is great for walking dogs, lots of sidewalks and meeting others walking their dog(s). Your dog's sleeping arrangement Any where they would like. I have dog beds available. Unless you as the parent don't allow your dog(s) on the furniture, it's ok with me. Time I'll spend with your dog I am home most of the day, unless I'm running an errand during the day. If I'm pet sitting in your home I will make 2-3 visits a day for 30 minutes. During that time I will either walk or play with your dog in the yard and make sure there is fresh water/food. Time I'll spend with your dog If I'm pet sitting each visit is for 30 minutes unless you ask for additional time. If I'm boarding your dog I'm home the majority of the time. Extra house-sitting services No Addition Charge: Litter box clean-up, animal cage clean-up, accident clean-up, medication, brushing, plant watering ( inside), garbage set out, mail & newspaper retrieval, blind & drapes, TV, radio & light rotation, thermostat checks & most important - playtime
