Pet care experience

I am a Certified Professional Pet Sitter through Pet Sitters International. I am Pet First Aid and CPCR certified. I have a B.S. in Biology. I’ve gone through numerous dog training camps to better understand different training methods. I have been volunteering at a local humane society for almost five years now. I train other volunteers, help animals get adopted and used to train the puppies in our former weekly puppy class until they get adopted! I have also done a veterinarian internship, and volunteer in the shelter’s medical department, and am able to give your animals any medical care they may need. I have experiences with shy, energetic, indifferent, playful, and even scared/apprehensive dogs, as well as dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have taken classes to learn about dog behavior, body language, and balanced training. Also, I have experience with dogs who have resource guarding (i.e. food, toys, treats, bedding). Having all this experience allows me to be able to work with dogs that have some minor issues and hopefully give comfort to owners knowing their dog is in the hands of someone who will work to make sure their dog is safe and happy. I also have a plethora of experience with other animals such as cats, small animals (hamsters, rabbits, hedgehogs, etc.), fish and reptiles and would be willing to take care of them as well, for no additional fee (within reason).

Candice was great. We had to reschedule our original date and she was very accommodating. My dog was a happy puppy that day with Candice dropping in to play with him!

Candice was great with my dog. Great communication and pictures. She’s also very easy to deal with and even took Maxine for ice cream. I would use her again, hopefully the weather is better next time so Candice and Maxine can have some outside time. Thanks again!

Candice did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs while we were out of town. We have one senior dog that needs extra attention and she did great with him. We will definitely be booking her for our next trip.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to thoroughly learn your dogs behaviors as I spend time with them. Doing so allows me to handle your dog and their needs in the safest way possible. The goal is to work together as a team!

Information Candice J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know as much about temperament as possible so I can approach the service to the specialized needs of the dog. For example, if a dog is uncomfortable with other dogs I would take them to a more quiet location for a walk. If a dog is any sort of resource aggressive I would make sure to build a bit of a bond with the dog before attempting to provide a service for the dog so I would understand it's triggers and be able to avoid them to make the experience safe and happy for both me and the dog.

A typical day

Dogs can enjoy anything you allow during my visit! Fetch, cuddles, nice walks around the neighborhood or the park, tasty snacks, the options are endless. I’ve even taken dogs to get ice cream!
