Experienced Sitters • Fenced Yard

Experienced Dog Lover | Fenced Yard | Walks + Playtime | Pet CPR Certified Hello my name is Kandi. I have been caring for dogs since I was 11 years old. I grew up with both Labrador Retrievers and Huskies and learned a lot about handling, training, and understanding dogs at an early age. My grandfather was a dog trainer in Philadelphia and often had more than 12 dogs at a time, so I spent many years around multiple breeds, learning how to properly care for, exercise, and manage dogs of different temperaments. Today, our family continues that love for animals. We currently have two well-trained dogs of our own—a Standard Poodle and a Doberman—so we are very comfortable caring for both large and small breeds. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Experienced with large breeds including Dobermans, Great Danes, Poodles Line, and more. I treat every dog like part of our family and provide updates so you always know your pet is happy, supervised, and well cared for. Welcome to the Royal Court!

My doodles had a great time during their stay. I enjoyed getting the pictures and updates while I was on vacation. And the report card at the end was so creative and informational.

Kandi was absolutely wonderful with our pet! She was reliable, caring, and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that our pet was comfortable and well taken care of while we were away. We would definitely trust Kandi and her family again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving pet sitter.

Highly recommend Kandi and Kalia as dog sitters! My dog was well cared for during his visit. I know he enjoyed having yard time and getting loved on. Kandi was very responsive and easy to work with.

Kaila is an incredibly responsible, caring, and trustworthy person who truly loves animals. She has a natural ability to connect with pets and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply giving them attention, Kaila takes her responsibilities seriously and always goes the extra mile to make sure every pet in her care is happy and well looked after. She is dependable, punctual, and very attentive to details, which makes her someone pet owners can feel confident trusting with their furry family members. Kaila is patient, gentle, and understands that every pet has its own personality and needs. She treats every animal as if it were her own. Anyone who chooses Kaila to care for their pets can rest easy knowing they are in kind, capable, and loving hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter or dog walker.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I am available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks on weekdays after school hours and most weekends. Because I already care for my own dogs daily, adding walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and outdoor exercise for visiting pets fits naturally into my routine. Your dog will always receive consistent supervision, exercise, and plenty of affection.

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a secure fenced outdoor space where visiting dogs can safely play, exercise, and enjoy fresh air. I also have a designated dog room inside my home specifically for visiting pets. This allows dogs to have their own comfortable space separate from the household when needed, helping them feel calm and secure. I currently have two friendly and well-trained dogs of my own — a Standard Poodle and a Doberman — so I am very comfortable caring for both large and small breeds. Because I have experience with different temperaments, I am careful with introductions and supervision. If a dog prefers their own space, I can crate them when needed and always follow the owner’s specific care instructions. My goal is to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I provide a structured home environment with a dedicated dog space and limited boarding so every dog receives individual attention.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes morning potty breaks, feeding according to the dog’s normal schedule, and supervised outdoor play in the fenced yard. I like to keep dogs active with walks around the neighborhood, playtime, and interactive games that provide both physical and mental stimulation. Throughout the day I monitor each dog’s comfort level, energy, and routine so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away. Evenings include another walk or yard play session followed by calm indoor time so pets can settle in comfortably for the night.

I enjoy keeping dogs both physically and mentally stimulated. We spend time playing fetch, exploring new smells during neighborhood walks, and enjoying safe playtime in the fenced yard. Additional crate fees do apply. Depending on the dog’s personality and energy level, activities may include light training reinforcement, interactive toys, and relaxed cuddle time so they feel comfortable and happy while away from home.
