Dogs Know the Secrets to Happiness!
Pet care experience
Dogs teach us some important life lessons, like being in the moment and doing what makes our tails wag! I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and each one has been unique and amazing. Many people say dogs aren’t aware or are even “dumb”. I couldn’t disagree more, and I strive to listen to each dog and meet them from a place of respect. Engaging with a dog is a partnership that I adore. I had dogs growing up and at times as an adult (not right now). I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I enjoy snuggle time, play time, hiking, taking them swimming, and also letting them relax and do their own thing. I am a Reiki Master healer and work with humans and animals. I am also quite intuitive, which is helpful in understanding cues and meeting animals where they are. I’d love to care for your dog(s), and if house sitting will take incredible care of your home/plants/dogs. I am detail oriented, very respectful, and a wonderful communicator. I look forward to working with you and your pup(s)!
Reviews
Stacey did a wonderful job housesitting and taking care of our two pups while we were gone for a long weekend. She was conscientious about making sure she understood the dogs’ routine and needs ahead of time and was communicative and responsive throughout our trip. We would love to work with her again for our next trip!
Stacey has watched my dog a couple of times now and each time she takes great care of the house and the dog. Looking forward to continue booking with her for future pet sitting needs! Thanks so much Stacey!!
Our dogs loved Stacey! We received a lot of photos and communication throughout the weekend. Our house was very clean when we returned! The pups were relaxed, were walked daily, and got a lot of play time! Highly recommend we will absolutely be booking Stacey again!
Stacey was absolutely wonderful. Stacey bonded with our 14 yo border collie mix girl almost immediately. Stacey took great care of our girl and our home. We received lots of daily updates and photos. We would recommend her services to anyone looking for an awesome pet sitter. Ian

Safety, trust & environment
I do not currently offer pet sitting in my home. I can come to your home for all services and am comfortable with whatever setup you have.
Information Stacey D. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to setup a meet and greet before helping you with your dog(s) to ensure compatibility. I want to be sure I am clear on their individual needs and any nuances to account for. Understanding social needs is important. Can they say hi to other dogs, do they have aggression or anxiety in specific situations, are you working on any specific training that I can support, etc.
A typical day
I am happy to take your pup to explore the local neighborhood on any routes you’d like - so many smells and great adventures! We can also head out for outdoor adventures (trails, waterfront, beach). If there is a local swimming spot they like, we can do that as well. Backyard time and indoor play, as requested. Snuggle time is always welcomed, as well as chill time and napping. I also love talking to dogs and sometimes find they like it when I sing! I can transport them in the back of my Forester (but do not have it gated off; therefore, would need to be sure they would stay in the back).

Availability
I generally have a lot of flexibility with my schedule. My current fixed commitments include driving a few kiddos to school M-F between 7a-8:45a, as well as working 12-5p F-Su at a local store.
