Candy: your petsitting solution

I've had dogs since I was a little girl. A nurse who has cared for dogs all of my life and animal health care knowledge I work full time from home, so your pets will always have someone at home. Your dog will have a full time sitter with them. I have a fenced home with a doggie patio door installed in the back patio door for your dog to have free access to my backyard which is fenced. My home is clean, spacious and dog friendly for your dog.

Candy was AMAZING! She took fantastic care of our dog, sent us sweet videos and photos, and was so flexible when our travel plans changed! Literal godsend of a dog sitter! We and Bernie love Candy!

She took such great care of my boys. So many good pictures, and they were so happy.

My Australian Labradoodle got loads of affection and enjoyed a shopping trip with Candy while I was away for a weekend.

We loved Candida! Dogs can read people and Luna felt comfortable with Candida immediately. She sent messages and pictures everyday, which made our trip so much more relaxed and enjoyable. When we picked Luna up, she had just had a spa day the day before with a doggy facial and everything! ( I didn’t even know that was a thing). We will be leaving Luna with Candida for our future trips.

Candy was an amazing sitter for our Australian Shepherd, Tokyo! He has a sensitive stomach and a strict meal plan, and she handled everything so well. Tokyo is super active and curious, so he definitely needs supervision, but Candy was always attentive and made sure he was safe and happy. Even on rainy days, she found ways to keep him exercised and engaged. We were out of the country for Christmas, and leaving Tokyo with Candy during such a long trip gave us so much peace of mind. She kept us updated with pictures and messages the entire time, even when we couldn’t respond right away. She’s very safety-conscious on walks, and her awareness made us feel completely confident in her care. Tokyo absolutely loved her! He’s usually pretty high-strung in new places, but with Candy, he was so relaxed—even napping comfortably, which is rare for him. When we picked him up, he didn’t even want to leave her house! Candy went above and beyond for Tokyo, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. She’s the best!

The VERY BEST in and around the Huntsville area. My dog had an emergency and her prompt identification of symptoms and response saved his life. Incredibly kind and communicative. Beautiful home and amenities. Cannot recommend highly enough (even though I selfishly want to keep her to myself!!!)
