Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable care for your best friend
I am a full-time engineer working from home and enjoy helping friends with pet sitting needs. I currently take care of a lovely cavapoodle due to their owner’s demanding work-travel schedule and find joy in the company of dogs. I consider myself to be reliable, caring, and give calm energy to anxious dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’ll follow all care instructions, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard and live in the heart of Dogtown, giving your best friend many opportunities to enjoy walks around the neighborhood and Forest Park.
Ratings and reviews
Candela is such an amazing dog sitter! She came over to meet Auggie ahead of her first time watching him. She gave him lots of cuddles, refilled his water, and gave him multiple opportunities to go outside while I was away at work. She is a great communicator and followed all of my instructions. Auggie was visibly happy in the photos she sent and clearly became quick friends with Candela! Very glad to have found her to take care of Auggie on a weekly basis! Highly recommend!!
Candela is fantastic! She is an excellent communicator and I always know my pup is well cared for when he is with her! I could not recommend her more!
My girl Gingersnap is older and shy, she doesn't really take to new people quickly. Candela was sweet and patient with her, and at the end of two days Ginger was totally comfortable in her home and didn't want to leave! Candela was also super flexible and accommodating to our schedule, which was so appreciated. We were able to visit St Louis from out of town and do everything we wanted knowing our little bear was safe and happy. What a relief. Thank you Candela!
