Pet care experience
I have 20 years of personal and professional experience caring for animals at home, in a veterinary hospital setting, dog and cat kennel, the Humane Society of Silicon Valley (volunteer), and Silicon Valley Pet Project (volunteer). I currently have 4 dogs of my own with various health needs: physical, behavioral and emotional. I’m a current volunteer at Humane Society, Silicon Valley Pet Project, and Happy Hollow Foundation (zoo & park). I love animals!
Reviews
A true lover of dogs. She won’t just give your dog great exercise and care for them. She will also connect and get to know your furry best friend. Your dog will have another best friend. You won’t regret having Candy care for your dog(s).
What can I say about Candy? Candy is the kindest, most loving person, to not just my dog (Tunechi), but all animals. Before Candy cared for Tunechi, I learned that Candy had a few dogs herself. And soon after, I learned that her love for all animals was unconditional. She cares for my dog as if he was her own. She takes him out, not only on walks, but adventures! They go hiking to different places and go out on the occasional lunch date, where she helps my anxious dog acclimate to new environments. She is patient and kind- and what’s most important, Tunechi gets so excited to see Candy! Thank you for loving Tune, Candy!
About Candy R.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My home currently has 4 friendly dogs who generally keep to themselves- all are currently seniors. I live with four other adults who are dog lovers and very much naturally willing to show some love to your pet! We live close to a park, less than 5 min away, and 2 schools that are a 2 min walk away each. Our neighborhood is quiet and I walk my own dogs 1-2x a day.
Information Candy R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how they are on leash? Do they pull? Are they reactive towards other humans, dogs, bikes, etc.? What excites them, what calms them? Are they housebroken? Do they have special needs health, behavioral, emotional?
A typical day
I will go where the owner feels most comfortable as long as it is an accessible and safe environment both their pet and I. I am open to nearby parks for hikes, neighborhood walks/runs; etc.

Availability
I currently work full time for Stanford University during the weekdays, with a 3 day work from home schedule. Due to COVID19 shelter in place, I am currently working from home full time. Otherwise, I’m happy to walk 3x/week during the work day and weekends. I’m flexible with long term set schedule and on call. Schedules ahead of time are most preferred.
