Pet care experience

Walk, play, cuddle, love!

I love animals! I was raised with dogs my entire life and currently have my own two dogs- a chihuahua and a collie mix who is deaf. As you can probably tell from my dogs- I can handle high energy, special needs, and all sizes. My passion for animals led to working at a vet clinic for over a year! From that experience, I have dealt with every type of dog and cat from well behaved ones to terrified and aggressive. I now work as an animal-assisted mental health therapist! My favorite activities with dogs include walking, playing with toys, and of course giving lots of love and attention! If your cat is active, I’ll play with them and give them some love too, but I also understand some cats would rather hide! I can't wait to meet your fur baby :)

Candice is an wonderful pet owner! She loves her 3 legged Pitbull and feisty Chihuahua with all her heart. Candice has taken care of my fur babies on several occasions and they love when she comes to visit. Candice is gentle, kind, patient, energetic and responsible. She is an amazing person and pet owner, your fur babies will be in great hands!

Candice did great with Irwin. I was on my way to work and got to meet her briefly. She was so friendly and patient with my hyper boy. He loved and trusted her immediately. I loved all of the pictures she send me of my goofball. She even took the time to fill up his water bowl and give him a treat! Irwin has a new best friend and we will definitely be using her again!

Candice is amazing with pets. She has helped take care of my cats and dog while I've been out of town. She is patient with my dog while on walks and is able to redirect him. It took my cats a bit to warm up to Candice, however Candice was patient. My cats now love Candice. Candice is friendly, communicates well, and sends lots of pictures.

Tuesday-Thursday I’m open early mornings or evenings 6pm and later. Depending on distance, I can also try to accommodate on my lunch break as well. Reach out and we’ll work together to try and make it happen :)

I have no breed preferences but would like to know if the dog has any behavioral issues or medical needs. I'm more than happy to watch a dog with these but would appreciate a heads up!
