Hubby & Wife Duo of dog lovers!
Pet care experience
Hi, we are Dannette and Candido, your husband and wife pet-sitting team extraordinaire and we can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Dogs are our passion and we don’t say that lightly—we have consistently worked with animal rescue in West Palm Beach to rescue and rehome foster dogs until they find forever homes. While we are not currently fostering any pups at the moment, we do have our first foster fail, Brewzer, a well-tempered pup who loves the company of other dogs and lives in our home with us. Candido has grown up with dogs all his life and knows all the ins and outs of top notch pet care. While I didn’t grow up with my own family dog, I first started pet-sitting in middle school for a family in the neighborhood, walking, feeding and caring for a black lab named G while his parents were out of town. I continued to pet sit and volunteer in animal shelters throughout high school and beyond and love the fact that I can continue my passion for animals well into adulthood and married life! It was through caring for Brewzer that we realized how difficult it can be to find a pet-sitter you trust who will be at home with your dog while you are away. That’s what’s special about us. I work as a teacher and am home in the afternoon and my husband works from home as a web developer. Your pup will always have the company of Brewzer and at least one human, and we mean it when we say your pup’s needs will come before all of ours when in our care! I wouldn’t want Brewzer sitting around in a strange house by himself all day and we don’t want that for your dog either. We keep our weekends fairly free and there are very few times that we go out to places where dogs are not allowed. We take Brewzer everywhere with us and are happy to bring your pup along too! We are patient, loving and attentive, three critical traits in professional pet sitters. We take our pet responsibilities seriously—to us it isn’t work, we genuinely love animals so much and choose to spend our free time with them as much as possible. We also prefer an open communication style and will be sure to keep you updated on your pup’s activities with creative photos and videos in real time! We can accommodate toy breeds, small breeds and most medium-sized breeds in our home. Large breed dogs, and any pets you prefer to stay home, we are able to provide visits and walks in the evening.
Reviews
Such a great last minute walker! So thankful she was able to fit time in when I was stuck working late and dez was one happy puppy! Thank you! Will definitely use again in the future!
Dannette was so amazing she updated me when she arrived and when she left I am using her again for my wedding weekend. Truly amazing!
Thank you Dannette & Candido! You provided lots of speedy communication and throughout the whole process. Especially appreciated the photos and updates while my fur babies were in your care. When I returned seeing them so happy only confirmed the great care they were in. So pleased that we found you! If needed to leave board or pups they will be in great care ?
I wanted to send a quick message to let you know how pleased we are with Dannette & Candido, this past week. They really showed great concern and care for my 3 dogs, especially Becca who has to have stomach issues with another dog sitter. They are the best pet sitter we have had. We would really like to keep using them from here on out as the pet sitter for my babies. My dogs really liked them, and they just took such good care of them. We noticed when we got home that they were relaxed and not stressed for being in another place which shows how well they were treated and their home ambiance. Also, we returned home one day early as expected and they issue a refund for the day that was not used. We cannot be happier! Thanks, Dannette & Candido! ?

I have a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company, but can keep them separated or crated as needed. We have a park within a quick drive so we can have lots of time outside as well as walks around the neighborhood.
Home
Information Dannette & Candido G. would like to know about your pet
All dogs need to be up to date on vaccines as well as heartworm and flea/tick preventative if they are to be staying in our home. I would love to know: - Your dog's daily schedule (i.e. feeding, walking, bedtime) - Your dog's temperament with other dogs - Your dog's medicines and instructions for care - Your dog's favorite places (we can try to include those on weekend outings while they are with us)
A typical day
Our time together will be a healthy blend of walking and outdoor exercise, combined with indoor snuggles and lazing around our home, which has been specially designed with dogs in mind. If it’s okay with you, we like to welcome dogs into our home with a special “welcome treat”. We find that dogs open up a bit quicker when they are given something they really enjoy! We spend time getting to know your dog, reading their needs and then tailoring our care around those needs. If your pup has more energy than most, we will spend extra time at the dog park, the beach (with your permission) and on walks. If you have an older pup that would rather keep it mellow, then we will do just that! We really leave it up to the owners, but know that our home is very pet friendly where dogs can roam freely, unless otherwise specified, and the neighborhood is welcoming with a loop around the complex surrounded by tons of grassy areas to explore and a dog park only minutes away.

I am a teacher currently on summer break so I am home full time. I will have lots of time to love on your fur baby and treat them as my own.
