FORMER VET TECH/KENNEL GM

Pet care experience

I have loved and cared for animals since a I was a child. I have owned 2 guinea pigs, goldfish, hamsters, a Golden Retriever, Fox Hound, Old English Bulldog, Basset Hound Mix, and fostered a Lab Mix. Professionally I have worked for a Veterinarian as a technician for several years, and have lots of experience with chronic and acute illnesses, administering all kinds of medications, first aid, and recognizing abnormalities. I am experienced with aggressive and fearful dogs, and am usually able to gain their trust quickly. For the past 3 years I was the General Manager of a luxury dog kennel, going above and beyond for every client and their fur babies; preparing special meals, playing, cuddling, brushing, and even tucking in at night! I understand the worry that comes along with leaving your dog in someone else's hands. I will always be honest and tell you how your dog is doing and send pictures/video! Trust, loyalty, integrity, and doing the right thing are guiding principles in my life.

Candice K was exceptionally. Our little guy has Cushing's disease and he is blind. Candice took great care of him, walking him and being his "eyes" She is just wonderful. She is kind, competent and compassionate . I cannot say enough about how pleased we were with her, it was such a relief to know that our little guy was safe, sound and happy with Candice!!!

Candice loves dogs and they love her. She not only walks a dog she is in tune to any problem he might have like a tick, rash or too long nails. I would let her walk my dog any time with no worries.

Candice is an amazing asset to anyone needing help with a pet. Animals are instantly at ease when she is around and there is not many people i would trust with my fur babies but i never worry with her. She is responsible and her attention to detail is impeccable. Do yourself a favor and leave your animal kids in her very capable hands.

Information Candice K. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know a little history about your dog before I walk/visit/stay overnight, just so I am prepared! Does he have allergies? Is he afraid of certain noises or people? Just the little things that make your dog unique!

A typical day

What does your dog like to do? I will spend our time doing what makes you and your dog happy! We can go for walks in your neighborhood, play fetch and swim at Mitchelville Beach, or jog in Jarvis Creek park! Or maybe your dog prefers to snuggle up and watch a good movie while getting a belly rub! Listening to you and your dog is important. My dog Ruby likes to take morning naps, spend at least 5 minutes sunbathing on the sidewalk every day, and has a specific spot on the couch!
