Pet care experience

Passionate, engaging + dedicated.

Caregiving for animals has always come naturally and been a specialty of ours. We both grew up in a household with dogs and cats. Anticipating the needs of others comes naturally. We currently live in Leschi with our cat Ophelia aka "phi phi" whom we adopted in Paris while living there. Going on neighborhood walks, playing fetch in the yard and exploring is a big passion of ours with Phi.

House Sitting • May 17, 2023

Candice is an excellent pet/house sitter. Our lab retriever took to her immediately. Candice has a calm, competent nature about her and I felt so relaxed on our weekend away. Thank you, Candice! We look forward to having her visit again soon.

Candice is the best! She took the time to get to know our dog and his tendencies and always gives him the best love and attention!

Candice was wonderful!! She set up a meet and greet beforehand (which was very appreciated), was amazing with communication and sending updates and took awesome care of our pup! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to love on their fur babies!

Candice is a delight around animals and simply lights up when she's with our 2 cats and 1 dog. Candice has been walking our dog for years now and providing drop in visits to our two elderly cats who are indoor/outdoor cats (which can be stressful when away on vacation). Candice learned the ropes of our specific cats and their unique needs right away! She was gentle, calm, easy, accepting, loving, and simply at home in the presence of our animals. No request was too much and she was simply a joy to work with and have watch our precious babies. Our dog Max instantly knows when she's approaching the front door and is eager to be her in love and light :)

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a beautiful part of Judkins/Mt.Baker Seattle where my home backs up to a museum, a giant park, a school and a dog park. There is nothing but park and trails around me, making it an excellent place to bring your pets on walks or to the dog park. I also have a fenced in yard and a two story home where pets are free to go on the couch and roam as they please. I don't have a dog crate but I can certainly crate your dog here or we can sleep on the bed together :)

Pets

A typical day

Neighborhood walks, hikes, the dog park, trails, parks, etc. I live next to the Blue Dog Pound and have access to many trails, parks, and outdoor space for us to roam both on and off leash together in a safe space. And of course we'll play along the way always :)
