I like to create a fun environment for the animals in my care, but each animal is different so every situation will be unique. I am capable of playing, training, going for walks and cuddle time.

This was my first time using a sitter, and Candice was great. She gave good notes, and my cat was well taken care of while I was away.

Candice was a great sitter for our cat while we were away. She sent plenty of photos and played with him a bit, and he's typically not a super friendly or playful cat for strangers. I would definitely hire Candice again.

Candace is fantastic, she made going away so much less stressful knowing my cat was being well cared for! It’s a comfort to know I have a reliable sitter for future trips. Her check ins were detailed and she made sure to let me know how my girl was doing. Thank you so much Candace!

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.
