Pet care experience

Above and Beyond Pet Care

For as long as I can remember, I have always been an animal lover through and through. I have worked in the veterinary field for 8 years as a veterinary assistant and customer service representative. I am a fear free certified veterinary professional who is driven by the human-animal bond and animal psychology. In 2024, I completed my Human-Animal Bond certification through NAVC. Pet sitting has always been a HUGE part of my life, as I have been doing it for 10+ years.

Augie loved seeing his friends again and had the best time while we were away. Thank you again for watching him while we were gone! It was so comforting knowing that he was not only in great caring hands but also having so much fun :)

Thank you so much for watching Augie while we were away! He seriously looks like he had the best time and was very well taken care of. We loved seeing all the pictures with his new friends, the toys he got to play with, and how much he was able to get outside. You definitely went above and beyond and we really appreciate it. Thank you again!

Our pup was perfectly exhausted in the best way! Loved hanging with Candace and her pups. She even went above and beyond and gave him the nail clipping we hadn’t had a chance to get scheduled due to a busy schedule. Thank you!!! ❤️

Candace was amazing! She sent updates and photos the whole time she was watching Hazel. Our pup is special needs and Candace made us feel confident that’s Hazel was in good hands. If you need somewhere for you dog to stay, look no further!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As I currently have 3 high energy dogs of my own and 2 cats, animal care is a top priority and daily task at my house. I currently work full time at a mixed animal veterinary practice, but still find enough time to spoil my fur babies!

Pets

A typical day

We live on a 1.2 acre lot that has SO many smells, my dogs swear they are the best. We also have many slow feeders, puzzle bowls, toys, and enrichment tricks we use on a daily basis. We have a beautiful neighborhood close by that we love to take walks through and even frequent the local beaches/parks!

Please do not be afraid to ask any questions, I am always willing to help or go above and beyond! We would prefer to have dogs stay with us who are both dog and cat friendly.
