Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around.

My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.

Información que a Candice P. le gustaría saber sobre tu mascota
Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent and comfortable care. Helpful details include feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medications, allergies, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. I also appreciate knowing how pets interact with new people, other animals, and different environments, as well as their comfort level with walks, handling, or grooming. For small animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, habitat setup, lighting, temperature, and feeding specifics are especially important. Understanding a pet’s favorite activities, fears, and calming routines helps me build trust quickly and keep them happy while you’re away. My goal is always to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and secure.

I love keeping pets mentally and physically engaged while making sure activities match their personality, age, and energy level. For dogs, this can include walks, playtime, enrichment games, gentle training reinforcement, and plenty of affection and companionship. High-energy dogs may enjoy longer walks or interactive play, while seniors may prefer relaxed strolls and quiet time. For cats and small animals, I incorporate interactive toys, gentle play, brushing (if they enjoy it), and calm companionship. With birds, reptiles, and other small pets, fun often means enrichment, routine interaction, and maintaining a comfortable, low-stress environment. I also enjoy providing simple enrichment like treat puzzles, sniff walks, and outdoor exploration (when appropriate and safe). My goal is always to keep pets happy, stimulated, and comfortable while staying consistent with their normal routine.

Passionate animal care
Experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas
Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance.
Reseñas
Candice did amazing with our fur-babies! Delilah is usually very anxious around new people, and she was comfortable enough to lay on the couch and accept some scratches after just a few minutes with Candice. That has never happened before with anyone else. We will definitely be booking with her again :)
Candice is always so great with Maverick and he absolutely adores her!
It’s so great to have someone we absolutely know we can trust with the furballs when we are away. Candice is da best ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Lily warmed up to Candice right away! Candice was great with her. Graciously adjusted the schedule when an unexpected snag came up. She provided several sweet photos of Lily. Thanks Candice!
