Fun & LOVING with a huge back yard

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Candace, let me tell you a bit about myself; I have grown up with German Shepard and Rottweilers my whole life, along with caring for all sized dogs (ranging from small terriers to the biggest Komondor you've ever seen!) Other than caring for dogs, I own my own ice cream business, and have been a nanny for the last 14 years! I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pup, give them love, attention and a mid-day break ;) My services include daily walks with play time included! I can come once or twice a day with no issues of times! I am also willing to care for your dogs in our home (over night or for daily dog sitting), we have two dogs that love having house guests! My boyfriend works from home so our dogs, and yours of course will get plenty of play time outside in our large fenced in back yard through out the day if I’m out walking other dogs! We have a guest room with an extra kennel for a nice quiet place your pup can sleep in (only if they want)! My goal is to make your dogs/cats feel just as comfortable as if they were with their owners! I prefer to walk and play games with dogs rather than going to the dog park (not opposed to it though) My love for dogs is real and I hope to share that with you and yours :)

Candace and her boyfriend were amazing with Arlo! He was so happy and comfortable there. I tend to over analyze and worry, and they calmed my nerves easily. I would fully recommend them! (My dogs stay was 10 days.)

I believe my dog Nelly would have been happy to stay with Candace permanently!

Candace has been so great! It's such a nice feeling knowing my dog is in good hands when I drop her off. And I know she's been having fun and getting exercise because she's always worn out when we come home :) :) Candace is my first choice when it comes to dog boarding and I highly recommend her services!
