Dog lover local to Grad Hospital!

Pet care experience

My family raised 14 seeing-eye dogs, several of which were raised while I was growing up. I have a 1.5 year old golden retriever named Mango and have helped several friends raise service dogs for CCI. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and love dogs of all sizes! I’ve also done a decent amount of pet sitting back home in New Jersey. Additionally, I am comfortable with dogs with medical needs as well. I just started my first full-time job, but I would love to watch your dog(s) and/or cat(s) when I’m off! My dog is a PTSD service dog in training and loves other dogs! I’m happy to meet beforehand. I just started my first full-time job but I’m available on my days off! I’m happy to take dogs to the dog park with, or even leave her for a bit to take them if requested! Otherwise, she loves to play with other dogs but will also leave older dogs alone. She’s pretty good at reading other dogs. Any other work I’ll be doing is remote and flexible, so your dog will be home with me (except for short errands which can be discussed depending on your dog’s needs) I know every dog has different needs, so I’m happy to meet pretty much any request. If your dog needs to be crated at night I do ask that you ideally bring the crate since I only have my puppy’s, but I’m also fine with dogs that prefer sleeping in a dog bed or even my bed at night! I’m also happy to let pets on my furniture/bed, but completely understand if your dog is trained not to go on furniture for any reason (my puppy was originally only allowed when invited, but that went out the window pretty quickly). For house sitting, I am available to stop by throughout the day and at night and would be open to staying at your home if it is possible to bring my puppy. Please message me if you’re interested, and we can see if it would be a good fit! I’m open to it as long as I’m still able to give my own puppy, Mango, the care and attention she needs :)

Candy took wonderful care of Mirae. Mirae had a blast! Candy also kept us posted with photos, videos, and updates. She was also so accommodating, flexible, and communicative. Thank you so much for taking great care of Mirae, Candy!

Information Candy G. would like to know about your pet

Feeding schedule, any special requests, how often they need to go out, how many walks they typically go on a day, and their favorite activities! My apartment is 2 levels, so I can also separate your dog if necessary. Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral concerns before booking so I can plan ahead! Mango eats in her crate when I’m watching another dog, so food aggression/guarding typically isn’t a problem. Most of the dogs I’ve watched have been amazing, but it may be helpful for them to meet ahead of time if they guard their toys etc.

A typical day

I love to go on walks and I live near a few parks and a dog park. I think it’s really important to stimulate dogs so I’ll make sure they’re played with and walked throughout the day and they can also play with my puppy if desired!
