“Candice was an amazing sitter. From the start she was quick to respond and answer any questions we had to put us as ease. We did a meet and greet and immediately felt like she was a perfect fit. Our dogs warmed right up to her. Our entire trip she sent us photos and video updates without being asked to do so and we loved every second of it. We will definitely use Candice again anytime we need a sitter! Even as excited as our dogs were to see us, they still went over to say goodbye to Candice which is very indicative that she took great care of them and made such a strong connection with them.”


About: 🐾 A Home Away from Home | Loving, Reliable Dog Care 🏡🐶 About Me: As dog owners ourselves, I know how stressful it can be to find the right person to care for your pup while you’re away. Our family dog, Charlie, is a huge part of our lives, and whenever I travel, my biggest challenge is finding someone who will care for him like I do. That’s why I started offering dog-sitting—because I understand how much peace of mind matters. I love going to the dog park and exploring local trails, especially at Veterans Park. If you frequent the park, we’ve probably crossed paths! Your pup will enjoy plenty of outdoor time, playtime, and snuggles in a safe, loving, home environment—just like they would with you. Services We Offer: ✔ Overnight Boarding 🌙 – Your dog stays with us, just like family. ✔ Drop-In Visits 🏡 – Potty breaks, feeding, and playtime while you’re out. ✔ Dog Walking 🚶♂️ – Walks, fresh air, and park adventures. ✔ Medication Administration 💊 – If your pup needs extra care. ✔ Play & Socialization 🎾 – Structured activities to keep them happy and active. Why Choose Us? ✅ I have Been There – I know what it’s like to find the right pet care, and we treat your pup as our own. ✅ Safe & Loving Home – No kennels, just a cozy home environment. ✅ Park & Trail Adventures – Walks and playtime at Veterans Park and beyond. ✅ Daily Updates – Expect photos and videos so you can relax while you’re away. ✅ Flexible & Personalized – Every dog is different, and I adapt to their needs. When your pup stays with me, he/she is family—just like Charlie is. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to build my week around the dogs I care for. Whether your pup needs overnight care, daily drop-ins, or long walks, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. We live off off Man-O-War and Tates Creek Road. How I Care for Pets in My Home: 🏡 Home-Like Environment: Dogs staying with me will enjoy a calm, structured, and cozy home—just like they would with their own family. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: I provide constant supervision, plenty of playtime, and structured downtime so dogs feel safe and stress-free. 🦴 Enrichment & Exercise: I take dogs on walks in the neighborhood, to Veterans Park, and on nearby trails to keep them happy and active. 🛏 Personalized Comfort: Whether they love snuggling on the couch or prefer their own bed, I accommodate each dog’s routine to ensure a smooth stay.

“This was the first time I had left my five-year-old corgi since adopting him five months ago. Laura gave him all the attention and walks he needed. My only disappointment was that he wasn’t more excited to see me when I got back! He will definitely remember Laura next time.”


“Dana is awesome! Our pup loves spending time with her while we love knowing she is taken care of! Dana is quick to respond, flexible, and communicates well!”


“Excellent care! Made sure Carmelo was comfortable throughout his stay and provided great updates. Very reliable and communicative, would definitely love to have Larkin watch Carmelo again!”
