I sipped coffee and felt the gentle sea breeze. From the blue sea and sky in the afternoon to the sunset in the evening, I stayed here peacefully all day long.

Hi! I’m Candace and I’m in the Irvine Spectrum area. I’m starting to offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting locally.

I’m a lifelong dog person and have experience with dogs of pretty much every size and personality — little dachshunds and Pomeranians, shepherds, huskies, retrievers, bully breeds, puppies, seniors, etc.

In my early 20s I also worked with a pit bull rescue and had experience helping train and handle rescue dogs.
My biggest thing is safety.

I’m a dog mom myself, so I completely understand how weird it can feel handing your dog over to someone you don’t know. I want people to feel like their dog is with someone responsible who is actually paying attention and genuinely cares about them.

I lost my soul dog, and honestly part of the reason I’m doing this is because I miss that connection. I’ve been wanting to spend more time outside and walking anyway, and I thought caring for other people’s dogs would be a pretty great way to do both. ❤️

Intro rates:
🐾 30-minute walk — $20
🐾 60-minute walk — $30
🐾 Drop-ins / pet sitting — depends on what you need

I’m happy to do a free meet-and-greet first, especially if your dog is nervous, reactive, shy, older, has a complicated routine, or you just want to make sure we’re a good fit.

Feel free to DM me and tell me about your dog + what kind of help you’re looking for. I have plenty of photos of pups I’ve cared for and I’m happy to answer questions before anyone commits to anything.

Also: bully breeds are absolutely welcome. 🐶
