Pet care experience
I have always been an owner of big dogs, German Shepherd and Akitas (but I no longer will take Akitas due to unfortunate incident) My parents are prominent breeders of German Shepherds. I've always been around animals, many kinds besides dogs. Friends' dogs always like me even when they don't like others. I pay attention to your habits/schedule for them and consideration for your home. My best friend was with me 13+ years-I miss him everyday and have love to give. I will take care of your dog like I did mine. When I do a sitting at your house for an extended stay, and you have some natural ingredients laying around, I love to cook and can make homemade dog treats with your permission. Because I'm in real estate, my main need is to be able to be gone 4 hrs to do an open house. And this is typically on a wknd day. If I'm staying at your house, I have to be able to do my recurring dog walks if required. So for that reason, I keep my range of service to work with the places I work for real estate and my own home to drop in on my own pets. I only take pets whom I've met to board in my home if it makes sense for my own schedule and your need. I need to know them because my own cat and love bird and family take precedence. But if you have an apt or condo dog, I'll ask if it's ok to come run in my big fenced back yard and how they are in a car. If they love car rides, I don't mind taking them with me if it works, they have fun, and I get a car buddy.
Reviews
Thanks again! Great job as always
I had a great experience with Stacey. She babysat my 2 mini poodles for a week. She was very easy to communicate with, I got updates. She was great with the pups, it looked like they had a really good time. She left my place clean and organized - even washed the needing she used. She even helped me by moving my car several times when I was away. She followed my instructions regarding the feeding etc.. I'd highly recommend her and I'd use her services in the future too.
Super happy she was available last minute!
Stacey is an outstanding dog and house sitter. Our puppy loves Stacey!

Information Stacey M. would like to know about your pet
I of course love German Shepherds. I can take on large and small dog, cats, birds, etc. I want to know if they have specific times of feeding, whether they are hoovers or grazers. Want to know how long they typically want to go out after eating. Are they crated at night. Is there a need for a muzzle. Are they children friendly, cat crazy. What makes them sad, what amps them up. Do they take any medication. Do you prefer they not jump or get on their hind legs (i.e. older dogs). How do they travel in the car. I have done insulin injections on dogs. I have syringe fed baby birds as I used to oversee ~400 imported African Grey parrots. Not to much intimidates me. Just ask tell me what your pets needs are and see how i feel about it. It may be extra charges. Household stuff beyond the norm of taking out trash bins, bringing in mail, watering plants, may be extra charges depending upon the request.
A typical day
You can tell me where your best friend is used to going and I'll do the same. Nearby parks, trails if nearby, where ever they like to be. If they like to play ball, tug a rope, do a little obedience, or just hang out on errands with me.
