Dogs, cats, even horses!

Pet care experience

I’ve been animal sitting since I was a child. I’ve always loved animals. I have puppy sat, dog sat for up to 6 dogs at once (they all belonged to one owner 😊), cat sat, and even farm sat a few times! I treat all the animals I come across as my own. My fur babies are my children. My friends describe me as “extra” when it comes to my animals 😆 I care deeply for every animal I come across. I even tried saving a baby mouse once! I work in education. So, I am off during the summers, all holidays, and also during Christmas breaks. I rarely go on vacation since I don’t like leaving my fur children. So, I’m usually available. In the summer I am off work so I’m available daily at any time. During the school year I’m available before 6:30 am, and after 3 pm Monday through Friday. Saturday and Sundays I’m usually available all day. I’m off work during all holidays so I’m available all day then. I don’t have a fenced in yard. However, I take my three dogs on leashes every 2-4 hours for potty breaks. My dogs are crate trained but yours doesn’t have to be 😊. I am also happy to take your dog(s) to the local dog park if they would like. Also, as much dog walking they need/like as well. I cat sit as well! However, I don’t board them at my house. I’d happily do drop in services for cats though. I can feed them, brush them, play with them, or give them snuggles. Whatever fits their needs!

Staci was absolutely wonderful! Did a great job of updating me on my babies and sending plenty of pictures. Would definitely recommend.

Staci was the best. She watched our dog for 2 weeks and sent pictures regularly to check in. From the pictures, I could tell our dog was having a good time and loved playing with Staci’s dogs. Thank you Staci!

Staci was wonderful! We have one dog that is scared of his own shadow and thinks strangers are very scary. I didn’t think there’d be anyway he’d go outside. She must be the dog whisperer because the very first day she not only got him outside but he was coming up to her to be petted. She sent the pictures and video to prove it! I can’t thank her enough for taking the time to warm up and understand him. She was also very flexible when plans changed through out the week. Will definitely be using her in the future!

Information Staci S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your furbaby has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. Do they have anything certain they absolutely love, or despise? How about treats? Are they on any special diets?

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We can play games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, explore the local dog park, and get all the cuddles laying around on the couch. For my cat friends, I can do drop ins to check on your fur babies. We can do whatever helps them feel safe, and at comfort while you’re away. I know how hard it is to leave your fur baby. So, I make sure your pet feels loved, and is well cared for so you can enjoy whatever it is you need to do with a peace of mind.
