As a stay-at-home mom, pet care naturally fits into our daily routine. I’m home throughout the day, which means your dog will get consistent attention, potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles—never left alone for long hours. Walks, meals, and care are all easily built into our schedule alongside outings to the park and backyard playtime with my two little boys (ages 2 and 4), who are gentle and love having dogs around. Caring for pets has become a joyful part of our family rhythm, and I truly enjoy making them feel safe, loved, and at home.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is that your dog will be cared for in a true family environment! We’re a family of four with two little boys (2 and 4 years old) who absolutely love animals and treat our furry guests like part of the family. Your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and gentle interaction throughout the day—not just from me, but from our whole household. My husband and I also have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and sweet senior dogs who may need a little extra patience or support. Whether your dog needs structured potty breaks, slow-paced walks, or snuggles on the couch, we’re happy to accommodate their unique needs. Our home is calm, safe, and always supervised, making it a comforting space for dogs of all temperaments.

Candace and Tim took care of our dog Barry for a weekend. He was skittish but they rook great care of him. I would highly recommend them and would use them again.

This is the second time Candace and her family have watched Apollo. He got so excited when we pulled up to the house! We received photos and updates regularly. I can’t recommend Candace and her family enough.

Candace and Tim were great! Excellent, frequent communication and updates. They took Teddy out for lots of walks and kept him busy all day and they gave him a bath. I would definitely book with them again!

It was so reassuring to see how much they loved and cared for Apollo. They treated him like part of their family. I could tell that Apollo felt comfortable with them. We received regular pictures and updates. We would not hesitate to use them again.
