Experienced Sitter; Loves Dogs!

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and farm animals! I am not easily overwhelmed and have cared for as many as 4 dogs, one cat and two horses at a time. I specialize in overnight sitting and have watched over people's pets and homes for as long as 6 weeks at a time. Along with my pet sitting experience, I have years of experience managing a dog grooming and doggie daycare facility. I am very active and enjoy going for walks and playing fetch/running around in the back yard with dogs to insure that they receive plenty of exercise while their owners are away. I am very responsible and will provide you with photo message updates of your pet in addition to phone calls to provide you with peace of mind while you're out of town. I will give your pet tons of love and affection and I will take great care of your home. If you hire me as a pet sitter, you can fully enjoy your time away from home, knowing that I am taking great care of your furry friends! Caring for animals is my passion! I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals and have always had a love for dogs and cats in particular. I currently pet sit on a regular basis for a number of families. Why I love dog sitting I got my first dog when I was in kindergarten. She was a crazy little Jack Russel Terrier named Maggie who loved to play fetch. Maggie was with me for over 15 years and she sparked my love for dogs. Along with my husband, I now have two huskies named Meeka and JD; I couldn't imagine life without dogs! My experience administering medication I have experience administering pet medication and as long as detailed instructions are given, I am comfortable handling your pet's meds.

Being new to the area, I had to search for a caregiver for my dog Casey. A friend recommeded using Rover, so I decided to give it a try. After viewing many dog sitters profiles, I felt like Candice had the qualifications I was looking for. Candice invited me to come visit her home to see how our dogs would get along. Her two huskies are friendly and sweet, and Casey got along with them very well. Since we met, I’ve had Candice care for Casey numerous times, and I couldn’t be happier. She is responsible, reliable, and a great caregiver. I love that Casey has other dogs to play with, a nice yard to run around in, and is well cared for. It’s hard to have to leave my dog, but knowing that she’s in great hands makes it a little easier. I highly recommend Candice for all your pet sitting needs.
