Pet care experience
STAY-PAWsitive
Hello, We are the Shields and we are Paw-sitively excited you’ve considered us to care for your pet while your away. Everything we know we’ve learned from a dog: kindness, love joy, patience, perseverance, responsibility. Pets have been our best friends since childhood. I adopted my first dog at 9 yrs. old, around the same age I proclaimed I wanted to be a veterinarian. While I did not pursue a career as a vet, I’ve maintained my love of animals; as an owner of hamsters, guinea pigs, snakes, fish, dogs and cats. With a career in education now, the skills I have learned as a pet owner have surely influenced my teaching style. My husband, ‘the dog whisperer,’ can form a bond with dogs instantaneously. With their keen smell, they can sense he is one of the pack. His protégé, our son, has also developed this skill and speaks fluent ‘woof.’ As a former pet owner of 13 years, we understand the importance of finding a safe and reliable place for your fur family members when you travel. We will ensure our fur guests well-being as these friends have given us the comfort and strength to overcome many of our life’s journeys. And life… is just better with a dog.

Ratings and reviews
As always my little chicken nugget enjoyed himself. He came home and slept all day to recover from his eventful week. Kandace and Quinton are amazing with dogs, and always so good sending pics and updates. Thank you thank you!!!
We never have to worry when Lola is with Kandace & Q. Hands down one of the best sitters on this app!
Kandace and Quinton took great care of our dog. They sent several photos which we enjoyed seeing. They gave her her medication and took her for walks while we were on vacation. They are very agreeable and very pleasant people.
Kandance and Quinton are amazing! My pups loved staying with them. They sent pictures and communicated constantly. It was a great experience.
If we could give more stars, we absolutely would! The care they provided was amazing—they treated our baby like their own. Their communication and the love they showed were exceptional. We will definitely be booking with Kandace and Quinton for our future pup needs!
Kandace and Quinton are terrific! We will definitely be using them again 🤩

Schedule
I work full time as a remote employee with a small non-profit. I typically work from 9 to 5 Monday through Friday with flexible hours. If I am out of the house at any-time running errands, there will always be someone at home to care for your fur-member. In the Summer, I also work half-day Fridays. Our flexible schedule allows us to accommodate a variety of routines. As a mother of a 2-year old, I am no stranger to routines and more-so the ability to adapt and re-route as needed. We believe providing the best pet care, begins with a listening ear. As the pet’s owner, you know your fur-child best. We will follow the directions provided by the fur-parents ensuring your pet feels loved and safe.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a two- story townhouse in the heart of Crofton Md with a spacious open concept living and dining room area. Pets are welcome to roam freely as long as they are trained. Our neighborhood is extremely pet friendly. Beyond the fenced backyard there is a dog park less than a few feet away. There are also surrounding parks, lakes and trails close by. My son and I frequent the parks weekly. He loves to stop and look at the wildlife and dogs on their morning and afternoon strolls. Whether it be taking your pup on a walk, preparing food for them to dine with us during meal time, or taking a nap together, we are excited to extend our home to your little loved one. We will maintain your pets schedule for walks, playtime, feeding, and medication administration. I’m in my thirties now, but still live by the Girl Scout law to leave a place better than how I found it. Whether providing boarding or stop in sitting services, we’ll be sure to go the extra mile; cleaning liter and food bowls, meeting for meet and greets… We’ll also capture the special moments and send you updates so you don’t miss out on any of the memories: Fun in the sun playing fetch Walks in the park Cuddles with the family on the deck And belly rubs before bedtime
