Best Buddies Care

Pet care experience

I can't get away from being a dog lover! They have been my best companions and I was taught early-on that caring for them was loving them. I'm a fan of "rescue" pets. I’m a Red Rover volunteer and for the five years I lived in Salt Lake City I volunteered for Best Friends Animal Society. They are both grand organizations that offer care for all kinds of animals. My last Best Buddy, GriZZ found me while I was volunteering at a pet adoption event. Grizz was 12 when we met and it was love at first sight. He played like he was 7 and was a perfect companion. He was my Best Buddy until he passed at 17. I am available to care for your dogs or cats in your home or take them out for neighborhood adventures where you live. My Drop-Ins or House-sitting care allows your pets to avoid the stress of leaving home when their family needs to be away. What I will do for your buddy: -Sit at eye level to get to know them -Pay attention to them with rubs and loves -Play! -Feed them by your schedule -Administer medication if needed -Keep their regular schedule of walks, playtime, and eating -Let them sleep where they are comfortable-on a bed on the floor or in a crate if they are used to that. What I will do for you: -Love your Best Buddy like they are my own -Ask you about their behaviors, needs, and habits so I can care for them well -Follow your instructions -Send you updates and pictures so you know how they are getting along Let's meet!

Candy's space is comfortable and relaxed. She's terrific with my dogs. She discovered my terrier's favorite type of scurtches without my having told her!

Our 4-legged kids had their second stay with Candy while we were out of town. They seemed to love being there, like a home away from home. They went for a walk when the weather allowed and even had play time with other dogs. Candy sent updates with videos & pics everyday. Whenever she had a question re: their care, she made sure to check with us first. We’re very comfortable leaving our “kids” in her care, we won’t hesitate asking her again. You can’t go wrong with Candy!

We love Candy. She really cares about our dog, and I feel confident that she is in great care while I'm away. I love getting pictures of my dog looking happy!

We love Candy, our regular sitter was unavailable and we read the reviews and decided to do a meet and greet, we were not disappointed, Candy was very kind and friendly. Candy took lots of notes and asked questions to assure she made our pups safe and happy. We recieved videos and photos while away on our trip, we were so happy to see them relaxed n playful. We recommend Candy 110%, she really makes the pups feel at home. We will be booking her for Doggy Daycare and Boarding in the future.
