Monkey, thank you for all the wonderful cuddles, laughs, and grooming sessions. During my last visit with him he was being extra cuddly and I now know that was his way of saying goodbye 🥺💕 You will be missed.

Miss Franny and I had out very first solo walk together without her owners present! After months of visits with her owners to help get her more acclimated to me, we finally decided that she was ready to spend some time with me without Mom and Dad. Franny did so well!! We were faced with many triggers on our walk and she didn’t react to any of them. Lots of training techniques were used along with plenty of yummy treats to help her stay calm. A worker walked pretty close at one point and Franny’s face was buried in the grass, snuffling for treats and paying him no mind. I’m so happy with how everything went and I’m looking forward to eventually having out first housesit together 🥰 Please tell Franny what a good girl she is!

Jessie is getting more and more comfortable with me. At first she was so scared she didn’t want to go on a walk with me. Now she’s willingly following me out the door. She’s still a little wary of me but we are making progress 😊

I felt like a real dog mom pushing Uncle Geno around in his little stroller 😭 Only the finest treatment for this little king. He’s blind and has knee problems so sometimes instead of a walk he gets a fun stroller ride so he can enjoy some enrichment.

I just want to take a minute to thank all of my amazing clients for continuously trusting me to care of their wonderful pets. Over the holidays I experienced so much love and appreciation from my clients. I wasn’t expecting that and it meant so much to me. Knowing that what I do really makes a difference warms my heart and encourages me to continue to work my hardest to provide the best care possible for the pets in my care 💕 I appreciate you all. Here’s to another year filled with lots of love, snuggles and adventure! 😊

Reactive and fearful dogs make up at least 80% of my clientele. I could always relate to them because I have anxiety myself. I want to help them succeed. Just like people, they still deserve to be loved and cared for, no matter the challenges they struggle with. Other reasons I enjoy working with reactive dogs:
Trust: There’s no other feeling like earning the trust of a reactive or fearful dog. The fact that they trust you enough to be in their space, care for them, and keep them safe makes me feel so happy.
Patience: Sometimes you may need to sit and wait for them to approach. It can take days for some, and weeks for others. When they’re reacting to their triggers, you need to keep a level head and patiently wait for them to respond to you and/or settle down.
Working with Guardians: These pet parents are so invested in helping their pets thrive. Many of them also work with trainers or behaviorists. They often set up multiple meetings to help them get comfortable with me. Because of this, I get to learn a lot more about the clients themselves. I get to have more conversations with them and build wonderful relationships with them.
Managing Situations: I learned how to best avoid triggers while on walks. I’ve learned how to safely take a fearful dog out to potty when they’re afraid of me but really need to relieve themselves.
Confidence: I get anxious when talking to strangers, but I’ve needed to tell other people that the dogs in my care don’t like people in order to keep everyone safe. I’ve built confidence in how I walk dogs. I have to be confident around the dog’s triggers in order to help them when they are overstimulated. If I freak out, then the dog can sense that.
Worry-free Vacation: Clients have told me how much peace of mind they have knowing their dogs are comfortable with me. Some of them get to go on vacation after not being able to for years. I feel so happy to help them in that way.
Safe Space: Dogs deserve to feel safe when their guardians are away. I'm honored to be able to provide that feeling of safety.

Hey, everyone! My name is Candace aka “your pet’s favorite auntie.” 💁🏽♀️ I’m the owner and operator of Pet Care by Candace!
I have been taking care of animals professionally since May 2018. I began pet sitting part-time while I was in college studying animation and game design. I wasn’t able to have any pets of my own so I figured getting to watch other people’s pets would be the next best thing!
Once my senior year rolled around my desire to enter into into the animation industry faded away and my love for taking care of animals took over. After graduation I decided to pursue a full-time career in pet care! It was one of the best decisions of my whole life.
I am CPR and First Aid Certified and I am privately insured. No animal is too big or too small for me! I’ve cared for 150lb English Mastiffs all the way to 100 gram sugar gliders. I have experience with reactive dogs, ranging from reactivity to people and other dogs to cars and trucks. I also have experience with dogs exhibiting fear-based aggression, separation anxiety, and generalized anxiety. I have cared for pets with various medical conditions such as dementia, blindness, deafness, mobility issues, and urinary incontinence, as well as pets requiring oral medication administration and bladder expression.
Taking care of and spending time with animals for a living brings me so much joy. I can’t express how thankful and blessed I feel to be able to provide care for all of my client’s amazing animals. 😊 Booping snoots, kissing furry foreheads, scratching booties, and rubbing bellies; have you ever heard of a better work itinerary than that?? 🥰🤣😂

With this crazy economy no one wants to spend money if they don’t have to. But did you know you can support small businesses without actually buying from them? 😳 Yup, that’s right!
You can help small businesses just by doing these six things:
1. Writing a positive review (my personal favorite 🤭)
2. Telling your friends and family about how much you love the business
3. Following them on social media
4. Engaging with their posts
4. Giving them a shoutout
5. Signing up for their newsletter
Getting love and support for our small businesses means so much to us. If you’d like to give your favorite small business owners a gift this holiday season, take the time to do any of the above mentioned things. 🥰 Special thanks to Nicole's Pet Care LLC for the receipt design inspo! Original design credit goes to her!

Do y’all think Sparrow enjoyed his breakfast? 😂 . . . . . #horse #horselovers #horsesofinstagram #horseaddict #horsegram #horselife #horses
Organic reach is almost nonexistent now and my posts are only pushed out to small amount of my followers these days. It made me start to wonder if I should stop posting altogether because barely anyone even sees it. Although I feel like our perception of the amount of likes we get is skewed. 50 people may not seem like a lot compared to a 1,000, but imagine if 50 people walked up to you in person out of nowhere and told you that they liked you? You would be overwhelmed with the amount of support with those people right in front of you wouldn’t you? So why does social media have to be any different? Every time I see a comment or a reaction to something I posted it makes me so happy and reminds me that there are still people who enjoy seeing me post. I love the community I’ve built over the years and I recognize people who followed me when I first started my account still interacting with me to this day, and it means so much to me. Thank you to every single one of you for engaging with me and my content. It means more than you know 😁💕 Has anyone else ever felt discouraged by low engagement? What pushes you to keep putting out content? #smallbusinesslife #smallbusinesssuccess #smallbusinesses #smallbizowner #petsitterlife #dogwalkerlife

He likes it when I call him “handsome” and he LOOOVES belly rubs. His skin is so smooth and soft, and I love how his eyes squint with contentment when I pet him there. He’s like, “Yeees, that’s the spot!” This cutie’s name is Baxter. I never thought I’d get to take care of a Chinese Crested dog.
