Availability
My school schedule varies from day to day but I will try my best to fit you in. Currently, I am primarily doing early evening/late afternoon visits for weekdays. Timing can be more flexible on weekends. Send me a message if you have specific scheduling needs/questions and I'll get back to you ASAP! Because I primarily walk/bike to bookings, my service area is the South Loop/Printer's Row area, but I have been known to venture out into the Loop on occasion!

About Candice L.

Safety, trust & environment
Your animal's health and safety are always my number one priority. I know how distressing it can feel to be away from your pets so my goal is to make you and your furry friend as comfortable as possible! Having been around animals my whole life, I’m well-versed in animal behavior and will always prioritize their safety and comfort during our visits. Additionally, you will ALWAYS receive little blurb update for each visit as well as a ton of photos so you can see how your fur child is doing!
Information Candice L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any and all nuances about your pet and routine! My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible so that you can worry less while you are away. Please let me know of any behaviors or special needs to watch out for. Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Other people? Should I avoid others on walks? Keeping your animal safe and comfortable is my top priority!
A typical day
I love getting to know and play with all of my furry friends! For first-time visits, I always ask owners if there are any specific instructions I should follow, and then I will let your pet decide what they are comfortable with and what they would like to do. Is your dog a sniffer who likes to smell all the smells on walks? We'll go smelling! Is your cat a cuddle bug that likes head scratches? I am a professional head-scratcher!

Pet care experience
As a true animal lover, I grew up with 5 cats (one with special needs), 1 Alaskan Malamute/Husky mix, 6 freshwater fish tanks, and a pond turtle. I loved animals so much that I even graduated with a bachelor's degree in Animal Biology, with an emphasis on Animal Health. In addition to my personal experience with my pets at home, I also have animal rehabilitation experience caring for birds, fish, and other furry friends!
Cat care experience
Candice also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Candice is the best with our two very needy kitties.
Candice did a great job taking care of my very shy and anxious cat! She was very patient with her and followed all my directions. I got detailed updates and adorable pictures!
We love Candice! Have booked with her multiple times, most recently while gone for over a week. She takes great care of our cat, and sends detailed updates/photos along the way. Would recommend again and again!
Candice took great care of my two cats! She was professional and left a detailed account of her time with lots of cute photos. Will absolutely be a repeat customer!
