Pet Attendants

Candice

Candice began her career as a pet attendant at Apple Tree Cove Animal Hospital in the summer of 2009 upon graduating from Kingston High School. Her inherent love in animals and her natural "animal whisperer" abilities compelled her to seek a career path that would allow her to immerse herself in her passion for animals.

She shares her home with her two horses, Cima and Brownie; two dogs, Butchie and Nana; four cats, Kiki, Yuki-Tucker, Nobu and her beloved and cherished animal soulmate, Ziggy. In her free time, Candice enjoys loving and caring for her animals, reading, art, photography and all things Japanese.
