Must Love Dogs
Pet care experience
if you are lucky enough to have a dog in your life you already know that there is nothing quite like the pure love you get from a dog. They don’t care that you’re not the best chef, they make great exercise partners, they are the cheapest therapists and they love you no matter how bad your day is. I take the responsibility of dog ownership very seriously and the privilege of you trusting me with your dog even more seriously. I have had dogs all my life and have been involved and volunteered with dog organizations most of my adult life. Because it literally broke my heart to have to leave my dog when I went to work, I decided to make my work my dogs and now…yours too. My promise to you is to be the next best thing to you being there.
Reviews
Stacy was great! There was excellent communication before she watched our two dogs, and we felt very confident with her experience. When she was watching the dogs, she communicated regularly and made us feel at ease. Stacy even swept up some leaves in the area where the dogs do their business - a nice touch. We will definitely be using her again.
This was our first time leaving our pets. Stacy ended up being such a great pick! We have a zoo - a cat, a chinchilla and a gecko. We needed a professional who could handle our crazy family and each of their care instructions. We were excited to hear updates from her every day of our trip. I even looked at her pictures a few times each day. I think we had more separation anxiety than the pets. Overall, we felt very comfortable leaving our animals in her care.
I was very happy to find Stacy, she is a true dog lover and takes amazing care of my two dogs. one of my dogs is slightly difficult to handle but, I have no worries with Stacy. Sadie wags her tail and goes with her with no problem. Stacy will text over a picture, and leave me information on treats that are best for my pets and cares for each of them, the way I would. I never worry about Beaudie or Sadie when Stacy is around. Thank you so much for giving me "Peace of Mind" while I'm working. Best ever!!!
I got Stacy's name from our friend living in Mill Valley. We had just brought home a four-month-old lab puppy. It's hard to find dog sitters willing to sit for a puppy. Come to find out, Stacy had spent some years as a dog trainer with a well-known organization. She had retired from training, but when we came home, Max had learned all the basic commands. Needless to say, we have been using Stacy ever since.

Information Stacy A. would like to know about your pet
I like to know the age and health of a dog. Do they have any limitations? Are they good with other dogs? Leash reactive? Good with kids? Special dietary needs. Favorite toy. Quirky habits. feeding schedule. Bathroom habits. As much as possible!
A typical day
It will always depend on the comfort level of the dog. I have been hiking the trails in Marin my whole life so being out with your dog in nature is always my first choice. I even love walking in the rain. The beach is fun too! We are blessed to have it all!
