I will love your fur babies!
Pet care experience
I have been owned by and loved dogs and cats all my life. I don’t remember a time that we did not have a pup or a kitty around the house when I was a child or as an adult. I tell people that my pups might as well be referred to as my daughter and my third son because that is how they are treated and cared for. I know how stressful it can be to go on vacation and want to make sure your fur babies are well cared for. I am that person. I will treat them like my own. I am comfortable with medication administration or the recognition of illness. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know your babies!
Reviews
Candice is a stellar and caring sitter for elderly dogs. Our fourteen year old husky is a happier, healthier dog due to Candice's kind ministrations.
Each time Candice watches our boys, she learns more about them and delights them more! How lucky our pups are that we found Candice!
Candice is a life saver and our ancient husky trusts her which means so much to us! Candice always gives us feedback so we know how his daily routines are going and he can be comfortable when we are working or away!
Candice is so sensitive to our dogs and us! She takes tender care of the boys and always sends photos!!

Safety, trust & environment
I will assure your pets are safe when we walk out in the community as well as do a quick check in your home to be sure all is well. I take great caution to make sure pups/kitties do not get out of the house. Dogs will always be leashed when I have them outside unless in a contained, fenced area or your instructions are that they can go out unleashed.
Information Candice E. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the routine so I can follow it to put him or her at ease. Where the leashes etc, are kept. Any special words that your dog recognizes to prepare them for the walk or words to use during a walk. Can they meet and greet other dogs or do you prefer we stay to ourselves on walks?
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog: I'll spend enough time with them to ease any anxiety and assure all needs are met. Each dog or cat is different so the time will depend on the guidance you give as to your pet's routine. My goal is to make them and you comfortable while you are away from them. Extra house-sitting services Of course! Bring in the mail, turn lights off/on, water plants, etc.
