Pet care experience

Run, walk, and play with your pet!

I have experience with small and large dogs. I have grown up with dogs in my family and have learned the needs that are specific to certain breeds. I have walked Morkies, Boxers, Rottweilers, Black Labs, Havanese, and many other breeds of dogs. I can handle energetic puppies and dogs since I have had experience with them in the past. I have walked small dogs and large dogs for other families before. I also enjoy taking the dogs I have or watch to the dog park to play fetch or play with other dogs in a leash-free setting. I also have some experience training my own dogs and tips I have picked up along the way for certain dog behaviors. I can handle baths and light grooming if needed.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 21, 2026

Took great care of my two dogs.- they can be an energetic handful - zero problems in Candy J’s care. I was running a touch late for the drop off and she was very accommodating. I will definitely book with Candy again.

Candy took great care of Selene while I was out of town. She sent daily pictures of activities and constantly updated me with how Selene was doing while I was away. Would recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
