Safety, trust & environment

I offer in home care for small to medium size dogs that get along with cats. My house is completely fenced with a potty area for pups. We NEVER leave dogs unattended, whether at your home or ours. At your home I follow your instructions to the tee. I also ensure your home is accident free and as clean, if not cleaner than you left it!

Information Candida R. would like to know about your pet

For boarding at our home, we only accept dogs that get along with cats and are crate trained. We have no issues with special needs or puppies!

A typical day

We love to go for walks, especially in the Barrio where there's many dog friends to meet. We also enjoy the dog park and the local trails. Our home is located on 4 acres, we also run the dogs around on the property. My 7 year old loves to play with our guest and has a blast paying ball.

Caring and experienced pet sitter

Pet care experience

I speak fluent English and Intermediate Spanish (this comes up a lot!) As a fellow traveler and pet owner, I know how important it is to have the right person caring for your fur babies. Each pet we visit first, to ensure we are a good fit for them and for you. We are a local family run business, a business built on trust and reliability. We ensure not only is your pet happy, that your house is cleaner than you left it. It's all part of our service. If your dog is staying in our home, we will treat them as our own; including snuggles, play time, walks and more. I can administer medications, provide fun activities and ensure your pet is as happy as can be while you're away.

Candida is terrific! She gave me true peace of mind talking care of my Chester while I performed a wedding ceremony. Thank you again!

Candida conquered one of my weiner dogs. The other just puts up with sitters. She did a great job.

Candida was wonderful with our kitty. She even texted pictures so I could see her. We weren’t worried at all about leaving Taffy in Candida’s care. We will definitely ask her again if we are planning a trip.

I have been using Candida as my pet sitter for my three cats for four months now. I can unequivocally say she is perhaps the best pet sitter I have had to date. She takes care of my fur babies like her own. The litter boxes are always clean, water dishes consistently have fresh water and the house is always spotless when we come back from vacation and the cats are happy. Candida provides daily updates with pictures. Whenever we go away, we can relax and not stress. We know our cats and home are in good hands. If you want an outstanding pet sitter, you won’t find a better one out there than Candida.
