Heather was very responsive and communicative. She took great care of our cat, followed all our instructions and is the first pet-sitter he came out for. She was very respectful of our house. We would definitely rebook with Heather again!

Nick was great! He took great care of our cats, fish, and Guinea pig. It was wonderful receiving pics of our furry family and he even brought the mail in. I would 100% use his services again.

Taylor did an amazing job taking care of my cat and dog. Both pets got played with, taken care of, etc. Taylor also took my last minute request (which was awesome). If I need to leave town again I'm planning ahead so Taylor is available!

Elijah is an excellent cat sitter. He’s reliable, great with cats, and communicative. He took excellent care of my two cats, one of which, Finn, has some special medical needs, and the other, Dory, can be skittish. My cats both like Elijah, and even Dory came out for pets from him. Thank you, Elijah!

About: 🏡 Boarding & Daycare ------------------------- Hi there! I’m Stacey, and I provide the ultimate "home-away-from-home" experience for dogs who deserve (or need) a little extra peace of mind. I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, which is a fancy way of saying I speak "Dog." While most sitters love pups, I’ve spent my career studying the subtle micro-behaviors that others miss. Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete or a shy wallflower, I’m constantly monitoring their body language and energy to ensure they feel safe, confident, and completely at ease. What makes a stay with me different? The "One-Family" Rule: I never "cross-pollinate" families. Your dog(s) will be the only guests in my home. No stress from strange dogs, no preventable play injuries, and no picking up bad habits from "roommates." A Child-Free Sanctuary: My home is a quiet, predictable environment—perfect for dogs who aren't used to (or comfortable with) the unpredictability of kiddos. The 0.3-Acre "Racetrack": My yard is fully fenced and wraps entirely around the house. It’s a literal doggy 500! Pups have 24/7 access to run circles, sunbathe on the deck, or people-watch from the porch. Training Upkeep: Working on something specific? Since I’m a behavior specialist, I love reinforcing the rules you’ve already worked so hard to establish. Your pup won’t come home "un-trained!" Medication & Special Care: With over 10 years of experience caring for my own senior dog, I’m fully comfortable with complex medication schedules. Conveniently located in Fulton/Church Hill, I’m just minutes from the airport and train station. Whether your pup needs a high-energy zoomie session or a shady spot to nap under professional supervision, I’ve got them covered. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 👟 Premium Walks & Drop-Ins ------------------------- Behavior-Focused Walks: Every walk is structured to support good habits. I focus on positive reinforcement, monitoring stress levels, and maintaining proper leash manners rather than just logging distance. Attentive Drop-In Visits: Perfect for puppies, seniors, or cats. Visits include fresh food and water, structured potty breaks, medication administration, and focused, one-on-one enrichment tailored to your pet's energy level. 🛑 A Note on Safety & Crate Training ------------------------- To provide the highly attentive, single-guest, exclusive environment your dog deserves, I maintain a strict safety protocol. All boarding and daycare guests must be crate-trained (training in progress is absolutely fine) and arrive with their own kennel from home. While my schedule is heavily tailored around my guests, I do step out for short windows (usually under an hour or two) for exercise, appointments, or errands. For their psychological comfort and physical safety in a new environment, dogs must be able to rest peacefully in a crate during these brief absences (initial upset is common and understood). This structure is what allows me to keep my home a calm, premium sanctuary for your pet. 🗓️ Routine & Availability ------------------------------- Because I am self-employed with a flexible schedule, I am around the house most of the time, making this a highly present and attentive environment for your dog. MON, FRI, & WEEKENDS: My schedule is wide open and highly flexible. While I may occasionally step out for short periods (errands, exercise, or appointments), I am primarily base-camped at home. Your dog will have constant companionship and 24/7 yard access while I am here. TUE, WED, & THURS: I have a set, predictable time period where I am away from the house from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Dogs who are comfortable with a standard mid-day nap routine thrive during these blocks. Crate or kennel required for time I am away from the home. 🏡 An Exclusive, Child-Free Sanctuary ------------------------------- One Family Only: Your dog(s) will be the sole guests in my home. This completely eliminates the risks of "cross-family" friction, resource guarding, or accidental play injuries. Predictable & Quiet: My home is completely child-free, making it an ideal, low-stress retreat for senior dogs, anxious pups, or those who prefer a calm environment. 🧠 Professional Behavioral Supervision ------------------------------- Expert Eyes: As a senior behavior specialist, I spot subtle micro-behaviors (shifts in posture or energy) to proactively manage stress and maintain a peaceful environment. Training Upkeep: I seamlessly reinforce your current training rules and routines so your puppy or dog doesn't lose progress while you're away. Medication Experience: With a decade of experience caring for my own senior pup, I am fully competent with complex medication schedules. 🌳 Secure Yard & Routine ------------------------------- The 0.3-Acre "Racetrack": The yard is fully fenced and wraps entirely around the house, creating a safe, continuous circuit for high-energy zoomies. Outdoor Freedom & Routine: On my workdays (Tuesday–Thursday, 12 PM–6 PM), dogs enjoy a predictable mid-day nap routine. Outside of those specific afternoon hours, they have 24/7 indoor-outdoor access to sunbathe on the deck, relax in the shade, or run the racetrack.

Danielle did an excellent job with Otis, kept me updated with pics and videos from her visits. He's not always the quickest to warm up but seemed to take to her on her first visit! Came home to a happy, healthy boy. Would definitely book her to look after him again!

Jasmine was great! She was not able to find my cat all of the time but she still sent pictures showing she was dropping in and tried very hard to catch my cat on camera. She even did the litter box even though I forgot to put that on the instructions.

Cynthia was a great pup-sitter, and kept me well informed with pictures and updates! Sebastian tends to be anxious and he looked like he didn’t miss a beat of belly rubs, cuddles, walks and attention. She communicated all needs and changes in behavior during my time away! She was a great sitter!
