Dog lover that you can trust!

Pet care experience

Animal lover looking for some side work and what better than to take care of other people's dogs at times when they are worried about who they can trust to leave them with. I have grown up with dogs in my house always and i have such a soft spot for all animals. I love to see all of their different personalities. I treat every dog with special care, love, and especially attention. ☺ I have been taking care of other people's dogs using Thumbtack and family friends pets as well. I have recently spent some time with two pit-bulls, one puppy and one who is around 1 years old. They were just balls of energy but adorable. I typically like to stay at the persons home to allow the dogs to feel more comfortable and follow their normal routine while their owners are away. Why I love dog sitting I was born growing up with two dogs they were my best friends as a little kid. When they passed I was so upset but grew to love our new dogs and I guess I can say that I have been an animal lover my whole life. I am the type of person who bawls her eyes out when a pet or animal dies in a movie. People always have to tell me to close my eyes or leave the room if they know something is going to happen to the animal. My experience administering medication Yes but I have not administered shots before so I am not comfortable with that unless shown how to do that.

Candice is great. Sends awesome pictures a day took great care of my two pups. I used her multiple times until she unfortunately moved out of my service area. I hope my loss is your gain!

Information Candice K. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the dogs personality, how the dog acts around other people, any times the dog may be aggressive, typical routines of the dog such as times they eat, where they generally sleep. I also want to know any more relevant information about the dog from the owners and anything about neighbors I may need to know about.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog I want to spend as much time with the dog or dogs as possible. Typically I will stay in the owners home and hang out with the dogs and keep everything as close to the dog's normal routine. Extra house-sitting services Yes I am willing to water plants, bring in the mail, and/or do some additional tasks I just need to know what needs to be done.
