Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals are my true passion♡
I grew up raising/with English Mastiffs and had my own Cat, that I alone took care of, from age 6-18 as a teenager. I worked at my local shelter every Wednesday and Sunday for 8 years. I was trained to work with elderly dogs/cats, and special needs animals. I know how to give CPR to cats and dogs. I started to learn how to train animals and have just recently signed up to start taking courses through Rover to get certifications in training. I know how to administer medication, orally and by injection. I am a massive animal lover. I promise to take care of your animal and keep them safe as if it were my own children. I have 2 kids, ages 6 and 11. Both of whom are as much as an animal lover as I am. Your pet will be cuddled, played with, and taken on as many walks as you would like me to, or as much as they need, when they need too. I have a huge yard with a gated high 6feet high fence. I would love the opportunity to take care of them while you are unable to. I promise that your pet will be loved, and completely safe with me, for as long as you need. I promise your babies will have a loving home while they are with myself and my family. They will be taken care of with so much love and so much play. As long as your pet is in my home they will be in a loving, caring, secure home. My home is their home when you are away. ♡ They will have their very own vacation while staying with myself and my family!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Candra exceeded my expectations! We had a very thorough meet and greet prior to care. She took the time to listen to all of my instructions and concerns. Echo being a German Shepherd puppy has higher needs, needs consistent training and high energy! It was important to me to find the right sitter for her before going on a multi-week international trip next month. Her daycare day went really smoothly and I appreciated all the updates with videos and photos Candra sent throughout the day. As a nervous puppy mama with what I would consider high expectations she did a great job and I feel much more at ease leaving her with Candra and her family for my upcoming trip. Highly recommend! 💗🐾
We always feel completely at ease leaving Newt and Pico with Candra! She takes such great care of them, and it’s obvious how much love and attention they get while they’re there. Newt and Pico always have the best time, especially playing with the kids and running around in the backyard. They come home happy and well cared. We’re so grateful to have found Candra and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and trustworthy sitter!
Candra is attentive, experienced, and made sure my dog received all the love, exercise, and mental stimulation she needed. Her sweet kids and husband were so involved and gentle, creating a warm, loving environment where my dog felt loved. It is clear she genuinely cares about the animals in her care and goes above and beyond to make sure every need is met. She knew how to handle my dog, who has separation anxiety and doesn’t calm easily in new places. Candra has calm and kind energy, and has great discretion. And her house and backyard are perfect for dogs. I couldn’t recommend more, Candra will be able to identify your dogs needs and make sure you get the best experience possible!
Candra & her family made Cabo one of the family. I can tell she was loved and taken care of very good. Made my separation from her much more easy. I loved all the updates & pics. Thank You Candra. I look forward to rebooking with you. Linda & Steve
We are so lucky to have found Candra. My puppy had so much fun at her house. When I went to pick him up, didn’t want to go home. She has a huge backyard, and Coco loved to run off leash there. Candra and her family are great people, and took very good care of Coco. We are booking again for sure.
Candra and her family were absolutely incredible. Maya had the most amazing time and all her play dreams came true. They have a beautiful backyard and are so involved with taking the dogs out and playing with them the entire time, she loves soccer. Candra provided updates throughout the day every day and made me feel so comfortable right from the beginning. 12/10 experience and will definitely book with her again!

Schedule
I'm currently a stay at home mom. I'm at home all day. If I need to leave the house, you pet will not be alone longer then 30minutes to an hour at the most. My kids are currently in school. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9am to 4:30pm. Wednesdays 9am to 3:30pmIf your pet is not good with children, then I'm more then happy have them stay with me while my children are at school or come to your home and do daily check ins and or walking. If your pet is good around children then your pet can stay with me at my home for as long as you need! They will be spoiled with so much love, as my children adore animals as much as I do. I'm here 24.7 all days of the week to help take care of your needs and your fur babies needs. Most of the time I am good and able to take requests on very short notice. I'm very flexible and able to work on different times and needs. Just let me know what you need from me and when you need it and I'll do everything in my power to make it work!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully 6'feet high fenced yard. A huge backyard and a big front yard. Fully fenced all around my house including my front yard that has a gate that I can open and shut. If your pet wants to explore my frontyard, I am more then happy to shut the gate and let them smell all the smells. For the last night potty breaks, we always use the front yard as the backyard is to big and I can not see anything. The front porch light makes it so I can have a final play and potty break with them. If I have an errand to run and your fur baby has to be alone, I will never leave them alone longer then an hour at most but my families normal routine when we have a fur babies staying with us, is that either my husband or myself will stay home with them while one of us goes and runs our errands. I will ALWAYS be outside with them when they go out to play or go potty, so I can always keep an eye on them and make sure they stay safe and do not get hurt. If they want to relax outside and enjoy the sun, I am more then happy to stay outside with them. If they want to play, my kids and myself can be out there for hours when the weather is good/safe to play. Downstairs I also have a long hallway that we play fetch down when it is super hot outside or raining. So no matter the weather, we are always playing and having so much fun and exercise with the pets in my care. I have no pets of my own currently but I do accept 2 for boarding and I have doggy day cares. I only accept 1 doggy day care at a time which means I can have up to 3 dogs max. I have 2 children, aged 6 and 11. My children are very gentle, kind and caring. They love animals of all kinds. They are both animal lovers. I am a stay at home mom. Rover is my only job and the job I love the most. I am looking forward to walking, playing, cuddling, and giving all the attention I possibly can to your pet. I love doing boarding and doggy day care! I also would love a chance to come to your home to take your dog outside to go potty and/or for a walk, while also giving lots of cuddles,and play. If your pet comes to my home, know that they will be safe and unbelievably loved. Your animals are free to lay on my furniture if you allow it. I will do my best to make sure your dog keeps the same routine as they have at home but I do have children so it will not be perfect but I will do everything in my power to keep the same routine. I'm all for cuddles, games and love. Whatever your pet needs, I promise to give it my full attention and go above and beyond! If your pet loves children, then I can guarantee they will be unbelievably spoiled. I worked with elderly animals and special needs animals when I worked at my local shelter in Arizona. I hand raised puppies from the day they were born until they were able to eat on their own. I know dog/cat CPR and I am in the process of getting my certification for training through Rover courses. I look forward to this next step, and getting to love your pet just as much as you love them. I have had animals all my life. From age 4 to age 29. I'm currently now 31. I have hardwood floors, so if they have an accident, its not an issue. I live in a 2 story house with 5 stairs going downstairs and 5 stairs going upstairs from my front door. Your pet is free to roam the house. I can not wait to love your pet and give them all they need and more!
A typical day
I will stimulate your animal with lots of cuddles, games, long walks, and of course lots of massages and pets. I promise to go above and beyond in giving your pet what they need and deserve. I will give you daily updates and lots of photos and videos through out the day. If you would prefer to only recieve a few photos, please let me know. If your pet is involved with training, just tell me what they are working on and I can do my best to keep that same protocol and practice. I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is safe and extremely loved! I promise to give your pet a nurturing, loving, safe home as long as they are with me.

- I am only accepting two pets for boarding and one doggy daycare at this time. I want to make sure I can give my full attention and love to your pets! ‼️Please make a care sheet for your pet with instructions on their daily routine, the commands they know, how much food to give per day and amount, what their favorite things to do are, and what their favorite toy/games are. Any behavioiral tendencies they have that I should keep an eye out for. If they are on medications, put the name of the medications, how to give it and what times they are needed. Please leave me your vet information and if you have an emergency contact person, make sure to put them on the care sheet! The more details about your pet on the care sheet, the better! Please let me know if your dog has special needs ahead of time. If your dog is taking any medications, please let me know within the first few messages‼️ Let me know everything I need to do to make your pet comfortable, happy, and safe. If you have any special instructions, notify me ahead of time and put it on the care sheet so I can make sure I give your pet exactly what they need and more. If you are unable to bring any of your pets needs (bed, toys, food, bowls) please let me know before the stay so I can clarify that I have everything that they need already or if you need me to go get them. I have a couple bowls for food and water and a lot of toys. I also have a dog bed of my own that I bought. It was the largest size I could find so that any dog in my care can fit and be comfortable on. I will always want to do a meet and greet with myself, husband and kids before having your pet stay with us. I will be the caregiver but my family will be home so they will be playing and cuddling your pet as well. If you are not located near me, I am more then happy to meet somewhere closer to you! I look forward to meeting you and your pet and for you to get to know myself, my husband, and my kids. Have a beautiful day! ♡
