Highlights
Pet care experience
Empathetic & genuine pet adorer!
(she/her/hers) I mean, who WOULDN'T adore those two orange boys? 🥰🥰 Chili and Chalupa were adopted from Rocky Mountain Feline Rescue in Denver, Colorado, in January 2023. They rule the house, and I can't wait to love your pet like I love them! I am often available for same day appointments within a 3 mile radius of Guilderland. I am flexible with responsibilities as well- let me know if you want your space left a certain way (AC on, bathroom door closed, etc) and I'll make sure you have peace of mind about your home while you're out. My times are flexible if yours are as well. I work retail, and my schedule changes from week to week. I will always be able to committ to a minimum of one visit a day for all services, but may double check with you if your booked visit times are flexible, especially for multiple day bookings. I love taking photos of your pets! I often send lots of updates during walks and drop ins, from when I get there, to what we're doing, to one more before I go. I'm going to try to catch your pet in the middle of a yawn, or a meow, or a bark! They get lots of love while they're with Aunt Stacie, and special attention to details like extra water in their wet food and tracking general hydration levels, supervised outdoor times for cats with secured balcony privileges, PLENTY of scritches wherever they prefer (got an elevator butt cat? A pibbie that lives for scratches on their big melon head?), and equal amounts of love, as well as awareness and respect of their boundaries and body language. **Please be aware of and respect my service radius and availability windows. My lower sitting fees are a result of a smaller service area and limited availability due to a separate work schedule. If you need a walk, please book a walk and not a drop in. Drop ins are for fenced in private yards, cat visits, and other similar situations.** Thank you so much for your understanding!!

I am known for being very thorough in cleaning up after myself, whether that's keeping your kitchen clean or cleaning up after dogs on a walk.
Ratings and reviews
Stacie was the perfect balance of professional and compassionate! She excitedly accepted the challenge of caring for my big hissy cat, taking time to understand how he communicates. Where other sitters may have been afraid or mad, Stacie was purposeful and determined. During my 3-week absence, I felt confident my boy was given as much love and attention that Stacie could give. She went above and beyond by watering my plants and collecting mail, but also by telling me when some issues occurred and sending tons of pictures. I'd book her again in a second, even if just to give my cat some extra social time. <3
I had a wonderful experience with Stacie and would highly recommend her! Great attention to detail, awesome communication, and so caring with my kitties. There was an unexpected hiccup during the reservation (not Stacie’s fault) that she handled so well, which I very much appreciated. She really went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for!
Stacie took wonderful care of Rain and Ogogo. She proactively tidied up the area, so I didn't come home to stray litter everywhere on the floor. She was also incredibly patient and spent quality time with them during every visit—playing with them and giving them treats. I loved getting all the cute photo updates. Even though my cats are usually very timid, they seemed to warm up to her very quickly. Highly recommend!
Stacie took great care of my three cats at home during winter break and we cannot be happier with her help!!
Stacie was awesome, and took incredible care of my cat while I was away! She ensured Nala received her food and medication on time and spent time with her each day.
Stacie was wonderful with our older dog. She was very attentive & responsive. I highly recommend Stacie and we will definitely book with her in the future.

Schedule
I have a very flexible schedule and I am happy to commit to both long and short term care. Travel in the Guilderland and Colonie areas is not a problem. Please don't hesitate to send a message if you aren't sure I can meet your needs. If we aren't a match, all bookings can be changed/canceled if needed with no penalty and full refunds*, and I'd love to chat! (*Meaning if we communicate about a visit BEFORE it is booked+agreed on by both of us. Anything discussed, agreed to, and booked by both of us will have the normal refund dates respected.)
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsStacie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- I don't mind "jumpers" so long as they aren't biters/nippers while jumping. I do not have breed preferences, I can and will work with most any breed but I need to know ahead of time if there are any temperament problems or if your dog should not be brought into the dogpark. I also need to know if cats might scratch or bite with less "instigation" than normal.
