Family for your pet when away

Pet care experience

**Hello returning families- I am unavailable being other last week of Feb. 2022 thru May 1,2022. Our little Mercedes is expecting some English Bulldog pups on 3/1… so I will have a lot going on around the Dorsey Home! My calendar is updated at this point for that time period; however wanted to let you know here as well!* see everyone this spring! I am a single mom with three beautiful girls; ages 8&11 and one heading off to college in the fall! My children love dogs and cats and would like to give your pet extra love while you are not home. We recently adopted our second English Bulldog over the pandemic and she and our boy Diezel have completed our lil home. While he is a man he knows women rule this house and is pretty chill when dogs or cats visit! She is a little shyer than he is and just not a big fan of playing with other pups.. she happy just with her BFF Diezel. They have their own dedicated room… seriously their own room! We call them Bonnie and Clyd because they match them to a “T”. We also have a place large enough to separate dogs if needed (especially when a new ones arrived and they just need to see what’s up with their new surroundings). We will provide love and will be also helping teach my girls responsibility. Profile says apt (TH not a choice)-but We live in three story townhome with small fenced in area and lots of grass areas for running! Let us keep your pet happy while you go to your happy place!! Thanks for consider us to take care of your pet!

Stacey took great care of our pups over the holidays! We got some photos and updates during our trip which were great! Stacey is very responsive and was easy to coordinate with. Our pups came home happy and tired. This is our second time having our pups stay with Stacey and we will be using her again!

Stacey was great. She sent pictures everyday and kept me up to date on how my pup was doing. Her and her daughter taught my dog some new tricks, which was fun. I highly recommend Stacey for your dog sitting needs!

Stacey and her kids took great care of Princess! She was so responsive, sent lots of pictures and really put my mind at ease while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend Stacey and would love for her to take care of our dog again!

Stacey was amazing! It was the first time I needed to leave my boy and Stacey put my mind at ease. She sent me updates and pictures everyday, answered all the questions I had and didn't make me feel like a crazy dog mom (which I am ?) I will definitely be using Stacey whenever I need a sitter for Bruce.

I welcome ur dog in the comfort they need to keep anxiety away while their owners are enjoying a good vacation! While my big boy is crate trained I do not require your pup to be crated but will continue crate training if that’s what your request are. We never leave dogs out roaming with Diezel/Mercedes as I always make sure pups in safe space if I have to step out or at night while everyone asleep. My doggie also hasn’t met a dog he doesn’t like- but he is not upset if your pups not Interested. And as mentioned above- don’t be offended when my little girl has no desire to hang with the crowd of dogs 😁
