Information Candace W. would like to know about your pet

You know your pet best and I want to know all about their preferences, quirks, and personalities so I can adjust my care to the well-being of their natural behavior. Pets feel safe and secure knowing the person caring for them is calm and reassuring.

A typical day

I am very active so your pet will receive lots of exercise and stimulation in the form of play and walks. If it's fetch or walking in the park or neighborhood just to sniff around nature, your pet will be perfectly protected and safe in my capable hands. While I do enjoy a grassy backyard, it is not enclosed therefore I substitute with frequent walks and breaks.

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience. I grew up on a ranch with dogs, horses, and an entire 'ark' of farm animals. I offer pet sitting in my own home. I can take more than one dog if they are from the same owner. I currently do not have pets so my time is entirely devoted to your pet. I also offer care for your home should you need someone to drop in to water plants, view property, and gather mail. Happy to meet you and your pup for introductory welcome.

Absolutely the best. I have a difficult dog, and Candace was extremely confident and loving with her. I have full peace of mind when she's watching my dog. Thank you Candace!
