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.

Candice was great with our two cats. She is very reliable and truly loves and understands cats. She went above and beyond taking care of an ant issue and feeding our outdoor fish. Her daily reports were very detailed giving us a clear picture of how our kitties were doing and she sent numerous pictures of them which made us feel connected to our cats while away. She communicates very well which helped establish clearly what we needed and what she would do during each visit. I highly recommend her!

Candice has taken care of our dog and cats multiple times with such care and curiosity. Some of our favorite pics of our pets come straight from Candice’s Rover card 😊

Please tell me your pets favorite walking routes, ways to play, ways to be scratched or shown affection and anything else you think I should know about your pet. Please also be sure to tell me if your dog has any special physical, psychological, or dietary needs such: as recent surgery (especially orthopedic), history of injuries, arthritis, fear, reactivity or aggression with other animals or humans, peculiar fears, anxiety, diet restrictions for food allergies or kidney disease, etc, or severe food allergies of the humans in the household. (I don’t want slobber transfer to send you to the ER!)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
