Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Mom and Cat Auntie
IMPORTANT NOTE: MY 12 YEAR OLD MINI SCHNAUZER COMES WITH ME ON ALL SITS. Former farm kid who's taken care of everyone from lizards and fish, to cows and horses. I trained more than 1 farm dog and always had multiple cats (house and barn). I'm a dog mom to a mini schnauzer, and aunt to 2 cats and a corgi.

Ratings and reviews
Of course! Here’s the first (more polished) review rewritten with Ollie’s name: ⸻ We’re so grateful for the wonderful care our dog, Ollie, received while we were away! Ollie is full of energy and managed to get into a bit of trouble (including eating an entire bag of treats!), but Stacey handled it all with patience, good humour, and great communication. We came home to a happy dog and couldn’t have asked for better care!
Once again Stacey and her fabulous side kick Fred did an excellent job caring for our home and dog while we were away. We came home to a happy and content dog who-3 days later-is still wondering what happened to Stacey and where his buddy Fred went!! Highly recommend this duo.
As former dog walkers and pet sitters we have very high expectations from the people we have watch our dogs, and Stacey went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. We have two dogs and one is VERY timid and shy of strangers. She handled it like a pro! We also were given daily updates which were written from our dogs POV which was hilarious and entertaining for us! Such a nice touch. Additionally, she went the extra mile to get us a card to celebrate our wedding weekend which again was from our dogs POV. I could write for ever about her but what I can say is you won’t be disappointed working with her and she offers the best value to price you will get anywhere! Private sitters included.
Stacey is wonderful will definitely use her again so good with the pets
Stacey came with her senior dog companion My dog was thrilled to have a friend. They did get into a bit of mischief but had a good few days . Stacey was prompt and very organized. She looked after my home and my family of pets just fine. I would recommend her and her companion.
My kids and I were nervous about how our 2 kitties would feel about us leaving with a sitter for a week while we went on vacation. I came across Stacey’s profile and felt she and her doggie Fred, would be a safe and comfortable choice for our babies. I was right! Stacey made Sox and Tessi feel right at home. She loved them as her own, and it shows. Fred is a sweet little dog, who loves cats to hang around with. Stacey sent us daily photos and letters from our pets, telling about their day. My kids and I looked forward to these check ins everyday, and it made us all feel much better about having left them behind for a week. We will definitely contact Stacey in the future, if we need a safe and comfortable place for any of our pets to stay. Stacey is very personable, easy going and accommodating. She also offers great communication and made the drop off and pick up process so quick and easy. She also kept our hairless cat Tessi, nice and clean and happy and gave her eye drops as directed.

Schedule
I work from home full time with my dog sleeping on the bed behind me. He's always up for a good cuddle whenever we have a cat over for the day/night. If we are staying in YOUR home, then he will be coming with me so long as your pets get along with other dogs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'm in a 4th floor condo with a large balcony. Cats love bathing in the sun out there during the summer and absorbing all the vitamin D. I have a litter box that I leave in the bathtub they have full access to, as well as water in multiple locations. Since I work from home, the litter box is cleaned as soon as they do their business so it's always ready for them. I'm fine giving cats meds (pills or needles) if they are required.
Pets
A typical day
Cats: I let them do whatever they want. If they want to nap all day they can, if they want to play games we do that as well. Dogs: I'm all about the park (if you're ok with that) or a very long walk. Also puzzles during their dinner time to keep their brains active.
