Pet care experience

Your furbabies are my furbabies! ❤️

I'm a 53yr old, active woman who spent 15 years as an Animal Control Officer in my local towns and then with my local Sheriff's office. I've fostered and adopted numerous rescues and am a huge animal advocate. Caring for other people's animals has always been my dream and now I'm doing it.

House Sitting • Jun 26, 2026

Candi took great care of our three rescue dogs and home while we were away. Our three dogs all have very different personalities and care requirements, so finding someone who can confidently meet each of their individual needs is incredibly important to us. Our youngest dog is energetic and requires plenty of exercise and engagement, while our two senior dogs need a much slower pace and extra attention. One of our seniors is a 13-year-old who is both hearing and vision impaired and has a number of behavioral quirks that come with age. He requires patience, consistency, frequent potty breaks, careful supervision outdoors, and an understanding of how to help him navigate his environment comfortably. Candi took the time to understand each dog’s routine and personality and cared for them exactly as we had hoped. Throughout our trip, she was highly responsive, sent regular photo updates, and kept us informed, which gave us peace of mind. It was clear from the photos and updates that our dogs were comfortable, happy, and relaxed in her care. When we returned home, they were content and at ease, showing how well cared for they were. She also took excellent care of our home, leaving everything in great condition. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would wholeheartedly recommend Candi to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter—especially if you have pets with special needs or unique personalities. We would gladly have her care for our dogs again.

Candi was great to work with. This was my first time being apart from Zoey since I adopted her a year ago. Candi took time to get to know Zoey and bond with her enough that I felt comfortable leaving Zoey in her care. It was a great weight off my mind to know that Zoey would be well taken care of and comfortable while I was away. I can definitely recommend Candi and hope to turn to her again, many times in the future!

Candi spent many years as a trusted and capable animal control officer for our county. That experience alone would make her a AAA petsitter with both the technical skills to care for animals and basic medical concerns/injuries. She fine-tuned those skills and developed a true "sense" with pets, particularly since many of those type of interactions find pets in stressed situations, where their behavior isn't always predictable. Candi managed all of these unique opportunities with grace, confidence and care. Her training aside, Candi is a treasured friend, whom I've trusted with my own pets over several decades, and recommend her without hesitation! Your furbabies will be in the very best hands.

It's important that owners be upfront about their furbabies needs. I can accommodate almost anything. Let's talk and see if we are a good match!
