I’ve had my own dog since I was 20 years old and going to college—that was over 18 years ago now! My family and I have fostered roughly 60 dogs from neonatal puppies to hospice/senior adults and everything in between. My husband and I are huge animal lovers and heavily involved in the rescue community. We love welcoming new dogs into our home and providing care for them! Expect your dog to get lots of attention and love while in our care. We are familiar with many medical conditions through experience and my previous work at a large veterinary hospital. We have experience with the following conditions: 🔲 Cushings 🔲 Ear Infection 🔲 UTI 🔲 Liver Cancer 🔲 Liver Shunt 🔲 Lar Par 🔲 Kidney Failure 🔲 Diabetes, including insulin injections 🔲 Skin infections 🔲 Allergies 🔲 Hind-end Weakness 🔲 Arthritis 🔲 Nursing Mother and Puppies 🔲 Weaning Puppies 🔲 Bleeding Disorders 🔲 Impaired Vision and Hearing 🔲 Thyroid Disorders 🔲 Pancreatitis 🔲 Obesity 🔲 Post surgery 🔲 No Spleen 🔲 Stomach Cancer 🔲 Car Sickness 🔲 Mange 🔲 Seizures 🔲 Anxiety 🔲 Global Fear Disorder 🔲 Storm Anxiety 🔲 Resource Guarding 🔲 Separation Anxiety I, Lacy, am a stay-at-home mom so the dogs we watch are rarely left alone. When I need to run an errand, I have a Furbo camera to monitor your dog. We only take one family at a time to ensure they get enough attention. Our goal is to mirror the dog’s home environment as best as we can. If your dogs like to sleep in bed, they are welcomed in ours. If you prefer they stay off the furniture, we follow those rules. Are they used to a morning walk? We will provide that. We keep feeding and daily schedules consistent as well, as we’ve found this makes dogs feel more comfortable and helps them settle in quicker. As we’ve used dog sitters ourself, we know the importance of piece of mind when you leave your pet. The safety of your pet is our top priority. We treat your pet like they are our own, as that’s what we expect of our dog sitters as well. We have a fenced in backyard. We do not allow our kids to walk the dogs without the owner’s permission. We have safety gates at stairways for dogs who cannot safely utilize stairs (typically seniors or very small puppies). For the well-being of our resident dogs and the dogs who we care for, we ask that your pet be up-to-date on vaccines and prevention measures (especially tick and flea). The last thing we want is to spread a preventative illness. Poop is picked up several times a week to ensure no parasites are spread. **IF YOUR DOG MARKS, YOU WILL NEED TO BRING A BELLY BAND FOR THEM TO WEAR.** Since I’m home most of the day, the dogs get to go in and out as much as they want and are supervised for most of their stay. Safety is most important—for my dogs and yours. We will ask you to pick up your dog if he/she is a safety concern for my dogs or other dogs I’m caring for. I only take one dog at a time but drop offs and pick ups may overlap.
