Seasoned Dog Rescuer Home Full-time

Pet care experience

Experienced animal rescuer providing dog sitting services in my home. In addition to my other services I’m currently hosting puppies daily for puppy play groups and socialization. Early socialization is vital and it’s so much fun for all of us! While the puppies are here we work on house and crate training and basis obedience. And best of all, they get tons of exercise, mental stimulation and come home sleepy ;-) I specialize in pit bulls and difficult dogs that others sitters might not be able to care for. As the director for a non profit pit bull rescue I have tons of experience with bully breeds dogs and dogs with social issues. But, I welcome all breeds and temperaments. The dogs live in my home home like my own pets while they stay here. If they are not good with other dogs I have the ability to rotate the dogs in different areas of my home so none of the dogs are spending endless hours in crates or kennels.

Doggy daycare with Candace was a life saver and my dog has never looked so tired. If needed, I will use her again!

Candice took great care of our 2 Aussie dogs while we were away for 8 days. You can tell she is an expert in dog care and is knowledgable and responsible. We felt our dogs were in excellent hands while we were away and in a safe environment.

Steel had a great stay with Candice! She is very knowledge about dogs and dog behavior and was able to pair him with a playmate who kept him active and having fun for the week. She was flexible when our schedule changed and very responsive to messages. We would absolutely have Candice watch Steel again.

Candice is fabulous! Provided a home away from home for my two dogs during vacation and she definitely knows dogs! In addition to boarding, she also rescues dogs and provides doggie daycare - including dogs with fear/aggression issues (my dogs don't have these, but it proves she knows her stuff!). Would definitely recommend her to others.
