Pet care experience
Growing up I had a childhood dog, which was a GSP and he was the best dog a kid for ask for! I would also watch my sister and brother in laws two dogs which was over a time period of 12years. My 12 1/2 year old Morkie Lexi passed away of aggressive kidney failure, I adopted her in 2010 and she crossed the rainbow bridge in Jan ‘23. In 2019 I rescued a senior GSP Tucker who was given up when he was about 11-12 years old and shortly after went through surgery to remove a cancerous liver tumor. Tucker passed in July ‘23 of old age. In March 2023 I fostered to adopt a Pitt/Lab mix little girl I named Rayne who was part of an abandoned litter. She’s safe, happy and loved now! She seeking doggy friends to play with. All of my pets have been spoiled and will continued to be. My spare bedroom was turned into a dog room. I even added a camera to watch them when I leave for a short time. I’ve recently found a doggy relaxing play list I love! I will play when your dog naps, sleeps for the night or if I should have to leave the home for a short period. Any dog who comes into my life, I love and care as if they were my own! My dog is current on all shots and flea/tick monthly meds. **Please reference the Additional Info section before reaching out and be sure to have your pet profile completed with detail info, vet information and picture(s)**
Reviews
Candice was great. She responded to questions quickly and was very flexible with drop off and pick up. Sally, my flat coat retriever enjoyed playing with the other dogs. Also the pictures sent during her stay were comforting. Sarina
Candice was so sweet with our girl! Kept in touch and sent pictures every day. She even accommodated her need to sleep near people😂. Our flight was delayed and she took the stress out of the whole thing. Can’t recommend enough!
Candice did a wonderful job watching our dog, Zoe! She sent lots of updates so we could hear how she was doing and was so patient with her as it takes her a while to warm up to people. Zoe was able to sleep wherever she was most comfortable and got lots of attention! We will definitely use Candice again the next time we need a dog sitter!
Candice is wonderful with our big girl!!!

Safety, trust & environment
Since I have a locked 6ft fence and with the nicer weather, I will leave my slider open for my pup to come and go. Enjoy laying out in the sun, chasing birds, squirrels and more. But always safe. Frequent breaks with snacks, water and feedings. I hope your pets fit right in. If you prefer the dogs not to roam free from house to outside, I will respectfully honor your request. Also pets are allowed to be comfortable on my couch or sleep with me on the bed. Whatever makes them not homesick! While I accept dogs who no longer need a crate or use a crate, being crate trained is helpful. I have several larger crates on hand, it’s nice when your pup will need some quiet time to have a place to go. Please let me know upon booking or when we chat if your dog is crate trained or not. Picking the right person to care for your furry pup(s) is important. To ensure your pup(s) are well loved and cared for during their stay at my house or yours for drop in visits, I have my rates set accordingly. While your dog(s) are at my house for boarding they are receiving constant care and playtime as needed. My time away from home is minimal. Your furry pup(s) will go home hopefully tired from all the activity they received while in my care and a new furry friend while playing with my puppy Rayne. I look forward to being your Rover sitter of choice and meeting you and your furry dog(s).

Information Candice W. would like to know about your pet

How often they eat and any food allergies incase alternatives to food for meals needs to be given. ***PLEASE NOTE*** All pups must be up to date on rabies, distemper, and bordetella vaccines.

A typical day
We can play catch out back or relax inside. Lots of sun on the deck to enjoy on a nice day. Your pup(s) will get lots of snuggles, ear scratches, belly rubs, and treats! While boarding in my home, to reduce risk of your dog escaping I prefer to not do walks. Please let me know if you prefer your pup to have walks during their stay and I can accommodate/discuss during the meet and greet.
