Candice can care for
Availability
Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I prioritize animals in my life. I work for myself virtually so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time, attention, and care they need - whether it’s early morning, midday, or evening visits. I love building regular routines with the pets I care for to help them feel secure and relaxed.
About Candice P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, their safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and needs. I maintain a calm, clean, and secure environment, use positive reinforcement methods, and monitor their behavior closely for any signs of stress or health concerns. I also follow any specific instructions provided by owners to ensure consistency and build trust with both pets and their people. Of course, plenty of update pics will be sent to you for peace of mind in knowing that your fur-family member is doing well while you are away!
Information Candice P. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know a little bit about their personality, routines, typical behaviors, and andy specia health/diet needs so I can make them as comfortable as possible. I would also like to know about any issues with reactivity, nervousness, etc. to ensure safety.
A typical day
We'll explore neighborhoods, conquer poop bags, and sniff new smells along the way! We will come home and enjoy pets, cuddles, and playtime! Whatever your pet is up to, I am game!

Sensitive & Patient Care for Pets!
Pet care experience
I am Fear Free Certified and offer calm, gentle care for pets who need a slower, more thoughtful approach. I have experience with dogs, cats, horses, farm animals, and small animals, and I’m especially comfortable with senior pets, medication (oral/topical), and shy or anxious personalities. I specialize in animals who take time to warm up. I move at their pace, pay close attention to body language, and focus on creating a low-stress, safe environment where they feel understood. I use a positive reinforcement (R+) approach and have experience with basic training, enrichment, and supporting pets with anxiety. Pet parent to Mochi (Devon Rex) and Bug (rescue Shih Tzu) - I treat every pet like my own. I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and genuinely care about making your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I send regular photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I communicate openly and will let you know right away if anything comes up. I am LGBTQ2S+, disability, BIPOC & neurodivergent-affirming 💛 Schedule note: I am available daily from 7am-5:30pm with the following unavailable time blocks: Wed 10am-11am + 2pm-3pm; Thur 8am-9am. Feel free to message me for your situation and we can hopefully figure something out! ☺️

Reviews
Candice did a great job caring for our shy cat. She asked questions as needed, but otherwise was timely and thoughtful in her feeding and care of our little friend. Highly recommend!
Candice is incredible! Always so communicative and reliable.
Candice does a wonderful job caring for my cats. I always know my boys are in good hands with her and can rest easy that she will care for them like her own. Even after a long 2 week trip I came home to a clean home and happy cats. Thank you Candice for your attention to detail and kindness!
Candice is great! Very dependable and great communication. My dog, who is weary of most people loved Candice right away.
