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.

Ratings and reviews
Candy did such a great job with our Cooper. We received daily updates and were happy to see he was staying busy. He was exhausted by the time he came home. Thank you for taking great care of him while we were away!
Candy I am very impressed. Not only are you a good person with a fun sense of humor, but you are a caring & savvy dog watcher. Plus I gave you extra cookies & treats & you resisted the urge to give them to Luna! Ha! My kind of gal! You are right...Luna loves you ❤️
Here’s a polished review you can post: Candy was wonderful with my two high-energy dogs! I needed someone to watch them for a quick weekend getaway, and from the start she was responsive, kind, and easy to communicate with. We did a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it was a good fit, which I really appreciated. She has a great setup with a large fenced yard and plenty of space for dogs to run and play. My boys seemed to have a fantastic time and were clearly well cared for while I was away. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with Candy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
She was amazing with my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. Very reliable, communicative, and caring. You can tell she truly loves animals and treated my dog like her own. I felt comfortable the entire time and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Candy has such a warmth about her, she makes you feel at ease, is super accommodating, easy to communicate with and you can tell she has a true love and care for animals. I could tell Pickles was well-cared for and happy.
Candy has been wonderful at taking care of my dog Arlo. From the meet and greet, he was already comfortable in her home and the friendly, safe environment she created. She gave me updates on how he was doing and sent photos as well. I felt secure knowing he was doing well and was in good hands. I would definitely book another stay with Candy again.

Schedule
I work Monday through Friday but make sure all pets in my care get checked on twice a day. Evenings the guest dogs get plenty of attention after they are fed their dinner. Lots of cuddles and belly rubs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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.
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.
