Pet care experience

For Spoiled Dogs (and Cats!) Only

I am a loving, passionate dog mom of one senior Chihuahua mix named San Diego de San Nicolas del Puerto. He loves company and alone time as much as any human. Lol! Before I was blessed with Diego, I enjoyed boarding a variety of small/medium/special needs dogs for friends. All of the dogs receive the same spoiled experience. They drink filtered water and sleep on memory foam mattresses. They can lounge on the sofa and snuggle in the pillows or relax on any one of the dog beds positioned around my house. They can sunbathe outside, play with toys from the toy boxes or I can play their favorite game with them inside. I cater to any of your dog's special needs. Just let me know! My goal is to make your dog feel just as loved and special as they do in their own home.

Kandice is a saint! My kitty loved her stay so much that she barely wanted to come home (lol)! The updates and photos were perfect and gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of town for almost 3 weeks! So grateful for her and highly recommend her for your pet care!

Kandice was so loving and reassuring. She treated our fur babiea like her own. I loved that she shared daily updates and pictures. She's the absolute best and I will definitely use her again.

Kandice took in a nervous and lonely cat and made him so comfortable, he didn't want to leave and come back home with me. She will be called upon again.

It’s been awhile since I’ve used Rover, my old sitter relocated out of state. After doing some research to find a new one I came across Kandice’s profile and immediately felt it would be a good fit, and I was right! Foxy absolutely loved her and I got lots of cute pictures and updates throughout the stay. Will definitely be using her as my primary Rover sitter going forward and would recommend her to anyone.

Best dog sitter ever! Kandice watched our two frenchies and even continued to crate/potty train our newest addition. Thank you Kandice!

Schedule

I take the dogs on walks in the morning and outdoor play in the afternoon. We have dinner in the early evening and an evening walk before bed.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house

Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
No children present

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a townhome to be specific, so we welcome dogs that enjoy a cozy indoor space and intimate yard play space. I do not have a fenced in yard so playtimes are on leash.

Each day, your dog will enjoy two walks a day around the neighborhood, indoor play with toys as well as supervised outdoor play with Diego and me. We usually end the day with lots of cuddles on the couch.

Cats

Spayed and neutered dogs only

Kandice can host up to 2 pets per night
I am highly selective and do require a Meet-and-Greet before booking so please make your request at least 1 week in advance of your booking date. Before your arrival, please let me know the following: 1. Does your dog have any special medications or accommodations? 2. I work outside of the home and dogs are separated when I'm not there. Does your dog do well in a crate, bedroom, etc.? 3. I provide crates, bowls, leashes and toys unless your dog prefers his/her own. Please bring a blanket (or something that smells like home), food, treats and collars/harnesses (I can provide these as well). 4. Please make sure that your pet has a flea/tick solution before boarding. We look forward to a wonderful stay with your pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
