For Spoiled Dogs 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 the best sitter for my Harley. He loves her, and I do too. Thank you so much, Kandice!

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

Kandice was great as always. She picked up/dropped off Cosmo since I was traveling and everything went so smoothly. Kandice takes such great care and pays attention to the little things that I never have to worry while I’m away. Looking forward to Cosmo’s next visit with her and Diego. 😄

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Non-smoking household

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.

Pets

A typical day

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
0 to 15 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
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.
