Pet care experience
Dog's Pawprints Welcomed
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 was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my babies and kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was great being able to see how they were doing and know they were in good hands. My dogs absolutely love her! I could tell as soon as I picked them up they were in the car looking back at her as she walked into her house. That really says a lot about how comfortable and happy they were with her. I definitely recommend Candy and will absolutely be looking forward to having her take care of my babies again next time! ❤️🐶 Thank you Candy, we really appreciate you. Ash, Phoenix and Family!
My dogs looked very happy and cared for after spending one week with Candy. She's very caring and loving and took great care of our dogs.
Always a great experience!
Really took care of our feisty dog, Candy has a heart of gold and we’re glad we found an excellent dog sitter.
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 ❤️

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.
