Pet care experience

Attentive, caring, & fun pet sitter

I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for over five years now. I have two cats of my own, and I have experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages - for instance, I've fed, walked and given medication (oral, eye drops) to blind and senior dogs. For the puppers that have a lot of energy, I am more than happy to play tugowar (or toss the ball) with them.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a high attention to detail - especially when it comes to the safety of our fuzzy friends - so if I come into your home and notice anything dangerous sitting around within reach of your pet, I will be sure to move it and let you know. Even for drop in visits, I'm more than happy to sit with your pet for a little while, give them pets or play with them.

Candice is a wonderful sitter. Candice is professional, dependable and friendly. We received daily updates and numerous photos that made us secure with the knowledge that Heather was in capable care. We look forward to using Candice in the future, and highly recommended Candice to others who need a caring dog or cat sitter.

We’ve used Candice several times now for our pet-sitting needs, and I can’t recommend her enough! Not only does she provide thoughtful updates after each drop in visit, but she’s gone above and beyond for us time and time again. An absolutely joy to work with, she is always my first call whenever we need someone!

Candice was very sweet and took great care of my cats! I really appreciated her help and how kind she was throughout the process. I’ll definitely consider booking with her again next time I need help.

Candice always takes great care of my cats! I have one who likes to play and one who is extra cautious around people and often hides. She meets them both where they are, spending play time with the outgoing one and has been able to see and interact with the cautious one much more quickly than I expected! I know that my boys will be well taken care of any time Candice is coming by to care for them!

Candice has cared for my cats a couple of times now. She takes the time to play with them, as well as making sure they are cared for. Having Candice check in on them gives me peace of mind when I have to be away.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I'm working full time at biotechnology company in Columbus, so I would prefer to walk/feed dogs before and after work, but can make exceptions if necessary - especially if your pet lives close to Powell!

16 to 40 lbs
Candice can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral problems that I should watch out for, e.g. leash aggression, tries to escape out the door, hates being picked up, etc.
