Pet care experience
Pet Care by Candice
My animal care experience includes not only having been a vet tech for nearly 10 years, but also having been a foster pet parent, a volunteer at the animal shelter, local wildlife rehab, even the national zoo! I’ve also worked at a dog and cat boarding facility, where we cared for many senior pets and pets living with serious illnesses. Drop in visits and/or mid-day walks are great for sick and elderly pets, diabetic pets, new pets, puppies, pets with anxiety, or just good boys and girls who would like a little more attention while mom or dad are out.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety, pet comfort, and client peace of mind are my top priorities. While dog walking, I maintain full 360 awareness, to facilitate any necessary redirection. Further, I do not walk dogs from different houses together. With cat households, I close exterior doors immediately upon entry, every time. I monitor the litter box to ensure the cats are eating-drinking-pooping-peeing sufficiently. Anything concerning will always be noted on the Rover card and anything urgent will be addressed by Rover text or Rover phone.
Ratings and reviews
Candice is absolutely amazing! She is so communicative and thorough, and I’m truly able to disconnect and enjoy my vacation knowing that my babies are in such caring hands. She pays close attention to their individual behaviors and routines and takes detailed notes so she can pick up on how they’re feeling and if anything seems different. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s not just stopping by to feed them, but is genuinely getting to know them and making sure they’re happy and comfortable. We feel so lucky to have found someone we truly trust with our kitties. I couldn’t recommend Candice more, she is exactly the kind of sitter you hope to find!
Candace is the bomb! So great w my cat and I never worry!
Candice took excellent care of my cats and sent me a detailed report of how they are doing/what they did, putting my anxieties at ease! She even provided pro-tips on how I could keep my cats from scratching the new carpet. I would (and will!) 100% hire her again.
100% would book again! Did great with out dog while we were on vacation all week!
Candice is fantastic! She has taken care of our cats on multiple occasions and we are always very happy (and so are our cats!).
Really good with my dog, very understanding and patient with me when i run late.
