Pet care experience

Fur babies become my friends!!!

Dogs have been in my life since I was a kid. Here in Chicago Ive dogsat all tyoes of dogs, and 2 cats! Border collies, Labradors, King Charles and all the in between. Im warning you though, after a few days with me, they love me and we are BFFs. Im VERY conscious of owners preferences and instructions and they call me Safety Staci so no need to worry about anything happening. Not on Aunties watch! 😊 Ask me anything!!! I work from home and I take frequent breaks. We can go on as many walks as desired and I love to engage in play time. Im up around 8 am and go to bed around 11. I have one roommate who keeps to himself but also loves dogs and we play with them when they are in our home. I am the only one to do the walking and feeding and all the care. Nobody else really comes over (might have a friend for dinner but thats about it) and NO other animals will be in the house while your baby is here! I love to go on walks but I also have an awesome backyard that is fenced. I prefer to just not interact with other dogs while your dog is in my care, both in parks and on walks. Id rather avoid any potential issues and just keep your pet safe. I cross the street or take a different route if I see anyone else walking their dogs. Its just better this way when Auntie is dogsitting. 😊 My home is cozy and if you crate your dog you can bring the crate but I dont like to use it unless its something you use when you go to the store or something. But never while Im home and I generally stay home especially when I have your pet. All based on your preferences and how you normally do it with your dog. They can sleep in my bed with me I love the pup cuddles. Any questions?

Staci was wonderful. She had excellent communication before, during, and after our dog Daisy's stay. Daisy gets nervous in new places but Staci went above and beyond to make her comfortable. We would not hesitate to book a stay with Staci again.

This was Tabouli's seventh stay with Staci. As usual, she took great care of Tabouli and sent lots of updates, photos, and videos. We never have to worry about Tabouli when he's with Staci. She's the best!

Staci was amazing! I felt positive about my dog staying with her and she communicated with me on how my dog was doing. I will for sure keep her in my usual sitters for my dog.

Tabouli had another great stay with Auntie Staci! We honestly would not trust him with anyone else. Tabouli is reactive and anxious, and Staci always goes the extra mile with him and makes sure he's comfortable.

Staci always takes such good care of Tabouli. When we dropped him off, he ran toward Staci, which is unusual for him. He was of course still his nervous self, but we always knew Staci did her best to make him comfortable. He went on his usual hunger strike, and Staci went the extra mile and gave him chicken, rice, and squash from her own kitchen. Staci sent regular updates including videos and pictures. Thanks for another great visit!

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fenced and I live in a 2 flat. My neighbor upstairs is at work during the day so no worries about chance encounters with anyone opening a gate or anything. My dog sitting services are also landlord approved!!!

A typical day

A lot of the dogs I watch LOVE the tug o war....whether with their toy or stick etc...I love to play with the doggos. If they like to fetch the ball, run around, or play tug o war it makes me happy when they are happy.
