Candice is the best pet sitter I have had on Rover! She dedicates herself to the pets she is caring for, as Petsitting is her full-time job by choice. My dog became part of her family and fell in love with her. I got an instant comfort in Candice‘s professionalism because she is educated in canine behavior and makes a great effort to individualize care for each pet, according to their personality and their specific needs. She appreciates detailed directions and follows them. I’m an anxious dog mom and I was able to feel 100% comfortable with Candice petsitting while I was away for over a week for my son‘s wedding! Can’t wait to book her again!

We feel very lucky to have been referred to the Rover experience, and moreover very blessed to have been referred to Candice specifically, by a dear friend. We were even fortunate that Candice happened to be free during the core timeframe we needed her services since it was still such a busy time of year for her and with quite a last-minute booking, and meet and greet on our part. Candice was so pleasant and on time for the meet and greet. She allowed us a thorough amount of time to introduce our working dog/K9 to her, especially since all of my notes on routine, and all the specifics of his needs (and wants lol) had not been fully outlined yet. This included the need for her to learn everyday and obedience commands in a European language, a challenge she met with excitement and sincere interest. It was obvious early on that Johnny took to Candice, and allowed her into his circle of trust like an old pal. Which helped to put my husband and I at ease. By the end of the meet and greet, we felt confident in handing over keys with the promise of finalizing documentation before we left, and any supplemental documentation she may find further helpful within the first few days of our departure (due to the short timeframe). During our trip, Candice kept us consistently and appropriately up-to-date on how Johnny was doing and how their bond continued to grow. Given the numerous things that we had to worry about with this trip, including my current limitations and disability, it was clear that worrying about Johnny, as we’ve had to do in the past (even when boarding at the vet!) was not necessary. She stuck to his routine, gave him excellent exercise; and in every picture, he seemed happy, loved and healthy. And she even had to contend with some heavy rain which for anyone who understands working dogs (even medium drive at the age of six) knows this is no easy task. She even made sure he had a special sixth birthday meal since we left for our trip on the day of his birthday. The house was left clean and tidy, and Candice ensured that our postal mail and any packages were brought inside. We anticipate using Candice’s services and welcoming her into our home to care for Johnny again whether for short term or long term gigs. K9 Johnny himself has already made requests on “his” calendar. And we highly recommend Candice and her expert care to other clients. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Candice. J. Dawg already misses you!
