About us and our pets! My husband, Ben, and I have one dog and two cats. Darcy is a hound - beagle mix who is 8 now and about 50lbs. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac in Lakeside with a fully fenced yard. We take Darcy for a longer walk every evening. Acer was found by my sister's dog at 2 weeks old and we bottle fed him. He is very energetic and loves playing with his toys and greeting our neighborhood kids. We decided to get Acer a brother, so we adopted Mr. Maple. He was adopted from RACC and the purrrfect brother. They have bonded and love their sister Darcy. Some other experience I have with pet sitting, I fostered dogs while volunteering at an animal shelter in college and have continuously watched co - workers and family members pets over the years.
