Outdoorsy Dog Lover at Your Service
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of dogs (walks, drop-ins and pet sitting) since I was a child. I love animals and have a short haired border collie named Canoe that I adopted in 2013. I have taken care of many of my friends dogs, sometimes for extended periods of time (3-4 months) while they are away for work or visiting family abroad. I took care of my parent’s border collie/lab cross a lot, we went on many trail runs, hikes and snowy adventures together before she went over the rainbow bridge 2 years ago. I love hiking and running and enjoy taking dogs along with me for my outdoor adventures. I also take my dog, Canoe, and other friend’s dogs to the off-leash dog parks regularly.
Reviews
Where do I even begin with Candice? Let me just say, she's the epitome of a dog lover! As a fellow dog owner, I've had the pleasure of witnessing Candice's passion and dedication firsthand. I've seen her interact with dogs of all shapes and sizes, and her ability to connect with them on such a genuine level is nothing short of amazing. From the moment your furry friend meets Candice, you can rest assured they'll be in the best of hands. What sets Candice apart is her unwavering commitment to treating every dog as if they were her own. Whether she's hosting extravagant birthday parties for her own pooch at the local dog park or whipping up delicious, pet-friendly treats, Candice goes above and beyond to ensure every pup feels loved. She is also known to be a great dog trainer - even teaching her own border collie, Canoe, how to open the fridge and get a beverage! If you're in need of someone who will not only care for your furry family member but also shower them with endless love and attention, Candice is without a doubt the perfect choice. With her warm heart, boundless energy, and genuine love for all things canine, you can trust Candice to treat your dog like royalty. I can't recommend her enough
Candice is a dog lover, through & through! If ever I needed help with my own pup, I had no doubt he was in great hands with Candice. Walks, treats and cuddles, she’s ensure he had enough exercise and attention throughout the day
If you are looking for the perfect dog walker/pet sitter Candice is your answer. She has looked after my dog numerous times and I know my dog is being cared for, walked and loved. Any dog would be lucky to have Candice as their dog walker!
About Candice P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a 10 year old border collie and would be happy to take dogs on our walks with us if they interact well with other dogs. Or happy to walk your dog solo if they prefer undivided attention. For pop-ins, I am a playful & affectionate person and would love to drop by to check in on your fur baby.
Information Candice P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, or behaviour that I should be aware of. If you are working on loose leash walking, non-reactive sit/stay or any other training habits, I’m happy to accommodate. I am a very patient person and believe in positive reinforcement style training.
A typical day
Canoe and I play training games, fetch, tug or any other mentally stimulating games regularly and I would be happy to do so with your pup. Happy to offer on-leash walks in the neighbourhood to sniff all the ‘pee-mails’ around or could easily bring your pooch to their favourite off-leash park or in Canmore there is a great fenced-in one that my pup and I frequent.

Availability
I am a born and raised Canmore local. I walk my dog 4-5 times a day and go for a daily 3-5km run. I would be happy to include your pup on a walk or run with us, or walk your pooch by themselves if that’s their preference. Also happy to do pop-ins. I live close to all of the hotels on Kananaskis Way.
