I will dote on your dogs AND cats!

Pet care experience

I'm a professional at Rice University looking to fill my animal love quota. Given my apartment's constraints on dogs, I'm looking to get into the dog walking/sitting side-hustle to make some more puppy friends. But I LOVE cats too :). As a cat mom, I find it hard on this site to find other overt cat aficionados, so if you are too, look no further! I have quite a bit of experience with pet sitting over the years. I spent summers in college house and pet sitting for professors. I currently routinely dog sit for a good friend who's dog has some challenges walking with just anyone. He and I do just fine and are great friends, though. I'm willing to do overnights, but since I have animals of my own, it's hard to do long-term overnights. We can mix it up and find a solution that works for both of us and the furry family members. Related to that, I have two difficult but adorable cats, so I GET kitties, and am 100% willing/interested in taking care of your feline roommates/family members. I love long nature walks, and a dog friend to take with me on loan would be the best! I currently cat and dog sit for friends on occasion, but need to meet my dog-cuddle quota. Hoping you can help me out.

Candice did a great job watching our herd of animals last week! She sent videos and pictures and kept us up to date with how everything was going. Will definitely be using her again!

Candace is wonderful! She takes great care of Lucy and she is very flexible. The house was in perfect order when I returned home. It was so nice to be able to go away for a few days knowing my fur baby would be well cared for.

Candice was fantastic with our three little dogs. Two of them can be shy, but she won them over quickly. She was great at communicating with us and sending pics. We are super picky about who we trust with our fur kids, but we would use Candice again anytime!

Candice did a great job watching my two dogs! I recently relocated to Houston so this was the first time I’ve had to have a new person watch my pups (my best friend of 15 years was my go to) so I was a bit nervous! My dogs loved her during our meet and greet. Candice followed instructions left and sent me lots of pictures, videos, and updates. One of my dogs suffers from allergies so she kept a close eye on him and notified me when she saw him scratching. After letting me know, she gave him his allergy pill. Both of my dogs looked very happy when we returned. Prior to moving, I had a dog training/sitting business and I’m trying to build training clients here. That being said, I have the hardest time finding someone that I think will take care of them to my standards. She definitely did a great job! Thank you Candice!

I have no breed preference, only temperament. Non-aggressive, well behaved with strangers (i.e. me).

A typical day

I enjoy the local parks. Memorial Park trails are great for pups! Hermann Park is near me, and easy to access. Montrose has great streets and boulevards to wander, and I really enjoy that.
