An Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm Candy, an animal enthusiast with a passion for design, working from the comfort of my home. With over 20 years of dedicated experience in dog sitting, I've honed my skills caring for dogs and cats with different needs. Whether it's a high-energy pup or a laid-back senior dog, I ensure a safe, loving environment for your furry friend. During my visits, you can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures, capturing those special moments. I love taking leisurely walks, giving your dog the exercise and attention they deserve. If you're seeking a trustworthy and caring sitter for your beloved pet, look no further. I'd be delighted to provide exceptional care for your pup or cat!

Candy’s always great with Chloe, and I really trust no one else. Chloe’s super excited to get to her place and that’s always a good sign! Candy keeps me informed and updated with photos. I’m always happy to have Chloe stay with her.

Candy was great with Toby when we left him overnight with her. We had never left him alone with someone we didn’t know before so he was a bit difficult, but it seemed like Candy was patient with him, she even sent me updates and pics. I would definitely recommend!

Information Candy L. would like to know about your pet

Health and Medical History: Any allergies, medications, or medical conditions the pet may have, as well as emergency contact information for their veterinarian. Daily Routine: Their feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite toys, and any specific habits or routines they have. Behavior and Temperament: Information about their behavior around other animals, strangers, and children can help me provide the best care and ensure their safety. Training and Commands: Knowing any commands they respond to can be helpful for communication and maintaining consistency in their training. Special Preferences: Any likes or dislikes, such as favorite treats, games, or places they enjoy visiting, can make their time with me more enjoyable.

A typical day

I love engaging pets in fun and stimulating activities tailored to their interests and energy levels. For active dogs, I enjoy taking them on long walks, exploring nearby parks, or playing fetch in a fenced area. For more laid-back pets, cuddle sessions, gentle play with toys, or even puzzle toys to challenge their minds can be great options. Every pet is unique, so I always adapt activities to suit their preferences, ensuring a fun and enjoyable experience for them! I always ask what their favorite activities are and hope that a few toys are provided for play.

This includes regular feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions to ensure they're happy and comfortable. I prioritize their well-being, making sure they feel loved and cared for, even when their owners are away.
