“Shawna is an absolute joy to work with! She gives you the peace of mind knowing your pups are staying with someone who genuinely cares about them. I’m confident my babies were in great hands, so great that I don’t think they even missed me! lol I highly recommend Shawna for any boarding/pet sitting needs and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future for my own! Thanks again Shawna!”
“Gloria is great! She had to give our dog medicine and didn't charge extra even though, it was extra work and her rate is affordable. Gloria also sent photos and updates throughout the stay.”
“SaVannah was absolutely amazing with our puppies! She kept them for a long weekend and loved on them like they were her own! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. I will definitely book her again.”
“Thank you Vickie and Charlie for taking such good care of Trixie. We appreciated the pictures you sent us of Trixie while we were gone. You were always quick to respond and the pictures put us at ease. Trixie looked good and happy. We would not hesitate to have her stay with you again. Dianna and Jerry”
“Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.”
“Our little pup was full of anxiety when we dropped him off for his week stay with Michelle. We were informed within a few hours that he has settled and did well during his stay. Beside his stubborn marking. He enjoyed his stay and would definitely recommend Michelle if your pup has major separation anxiety like ours.”
About: Hi! My name is Candice, and I have over 25 years of hands-on animal care experience, along with volunteer experience with an animal rescue organization. Caring for animals has been a lifelong passion, not just a job. I have extensive experience caring for: • Dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments • Horses, cows, pigs, and chickens • Rabbits, hamsters, and gerbils • Birds • Reptiles, including chameleons • Freshwater and saltwater fish My rescue background has given me strong skills working with shy, anxious, senior, and special-needs animals, as well as pets that need extra patience, structure, and reassurance. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has been a consistent part of my life for over 25 years. I structure my schedule to allow dedicated time for walks, drop-ins, feeding routines, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives attentive, unrushed care. Throughout the week, I prioritize reliability and flexibility to accommodate different pet schedules, whether that means morning walks, midday visits, evening care, or overnight stays. I also build in time for communication and updates so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away. Because animal care is something I genuinely enjoy, it’s not something I “fit in” — it’s something I intentionally plan my day around. My care approach is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level. Whether I’m caring for pets in a client’s home or providing drop-ins and walks, I focus on consistency, safety, and creating a calm environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, litter or habitat maintenance, exercise, and enrichment. I respect the home as if it were my own and aim to keep pets on their normal routine so they feel secure and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. During walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize safety, awareness of surroundings, and positive interaction. Walks are customized to the pet’s energy level, and visits include playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, feeding if needed, and companionship. With over 25 years of experience and animal rescue volunteer work, I’m comfortable caring for pets of all temperaments, as well as small animals, reptiles, and farm animals when needed. My goal is always to provide reliable, compassionate care so pets feel comfortable and loved in their familiar environment.
“This is like my dogs home away from home. And she has watched our boy last minute too just for the day to help us in emergencies. She’s a life saver! Our dog gets excited as soon as we turn onto her street cause it’s like a doggie best friend sleepover for him. Highly highly recommend. And I wouldn’t trust anyone else with our wild boy❤️”
“Katie is great with my dog, she provides a great place for him to run outside & play. She’s always been available & she treats my dog like her own. She’s reliable & I wouldn’t take him anywhere else!”
“Billie Jo was truly exceptional, an absolute dream to work with! From the start, her professionalism, warmth, and genuine love for animals gave us complete peace of mind. She went above and beyond in caring for our fur babies, treating them like her own. We received thoughtful updates every morning and evening, along with adorable photos throughout the day that made us feel so connected while we were away. It's rare to find someone so attentive, reliable, and compassionate. We've already booked Billie Jo for our next trip, and we feel completely confident knowing our dogs will be in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Jenn & Derek are good sitters and great people.They were able to watch my 2 cats when a family emergency came up within 2 days notice.My cats had their own room and were well cared for.Communication was great .They provided daily updates and tons of photos.I can not thank them enough for their kindness and great service.I would highly recommend them!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with my dog. She is so active and sent so many great pictures of my dog doing all sorts of fun things in Hilton Head. Izzy definitely wasn’t just laying around for the two nights she was with Sarah and her dogs. She sure is tired now though. Sarah was wonderful, I would highly recommend her if you are vacationing in Hilton Head. Also, she offered to walk Izzy on the beach where we were staying before 10 and after 5 so that we could have seen her. But we were so comfortable with what Sarah was doing with her we didn’t feel the need to interrupt her playtime with her new friends. Thanks Sarah, you were a sweetheart and so good at what you do! You could obviously tell how important Izzy is to our family and we were so relaxed knowing she was with you! Thanks again for the pictures!”
“Heather and her family were wonderful! Our two pitties can be a handful and Heather met all their challenges with understanding and great ideas to keep them safe and happy while we traveled. We would highly recommend Heather!!!”
“I was afraid my doggies wouldn't wanna come home, they had such a good time! Lyndsey was great and sent me multiple pictures each day. definitely will use her again in the future”
“Wren and Gracie loved their stay with Gabrielle and her husband! We were so glad to know they were safe and happy for the week we were gone. Will definitely board with them again!”
“Alexa did a great job watching my dog for me while I was out of town for my birthday. She sent pictures of her and comforted her during a thunderstorm. Alexa was great communicating on the app and giving updates throughout the week!”
