Dog's Pawprints Welcomed

Pet care experience

Because I care about the safety of your 4 legged child I require a "Meet & Greet" for all potential new clients. It is important to me that we get to know each other in addition to our kids getting along. I have a large yard for them to romp in plus a Large Dog Run(for supervised time outs should one of the dogs get way too playful and needs to chill for a few minutes ) , shade, grass and water access. If your loved one needs medications I have experience in giving injections and medications. I have fostered dogs through a rescue organization so I have had experience from small to extremely large dogs. I have been a parent to a St. Bernard with a very wet mouth. About this sitter: I will feed, love, play and treat your pooch as if it were my own. I would make sure we obey all your rules too. Many people have told me they would like to come back as a dog in my household. Why I love dog sitting Been a dog lover all my life. I have personally owned and fostered various size dogs. The largest dog I owned was a St. Bernard named Ralph. Yes he was a wet mouth so cleaning always entailed a bucket to clean the walls. I have also helped Karma Rescue foster dogs. My house was always the safe haven for the senior citizens. About my yard I have a very large yard that has block wall fencing all around with wrought iron gates. Yes they are puppy proofed so little dogs can't slip through the spaces. The yard is a combination of grass and brick patio. My experience administering medication Yes I am very comfortable administering medication. My dog, April, was diabetic and required insulin shots twice a day. My foster dog, Max required seizure medication.

Candy was kind and sweet with our dogs. She sent pictures and let us know how our pups were doing daily while they were in her care. We would definitely recommend her

Thank you Candy for a wonderful stay. Candy went above and beyond to accommodate a change of schedule. Her home is a perfect setting to make dogs feel welcome and safe.

I left my 2 dogs with Candy. One is older with arthritis and he needed extra care. Candy took great care of both of them. She went way beyond what I expected. I'll definitely be using her again. She also sent lots of pictures and even a video.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and a doggie door that allows the dogs access to the backyard. I have a huge covered patio that all the dogs have access to sheltering them from the outside elements. It is cooled and heated depending on the weather. All pets in my care sleep inside at night. If they need to go potty I go out with them to make sure nothing happens. I keep the backyard lit at night to discourage critters.

Information Candy R. would like to know about your pet

Does your pet like to share toys or are they protective of them? Any allergies that I need to be made aware of, medications they need during their visit. I will provide bowls for your pet but you need to bring their own food with quantity instructions. All dogs are fed in a separate area to prevent food fights.

A typical day

I work Monday through Friday. Before and after work we will play in my huge backyard with the toy of their choice, give lots of belly rubs and kisses. Your loved one will sleep in the house protected from the elements but I need to know if your pet sleeps in a crate or on a dog bed loose in the house.
