Pet care experience

Trusted and reliable dog lover ❤️

Hello! I’m the neighbor that dogs love to visit... when they’re given the chance to escape their usual boundaries. My friends’ dogs can’t wait to jump out of the car when they arrive at my house, and they often resist the offer to “go for a ride” when it’s time to head home. I’m a true animal lover and have had pets my entire life. I’ve cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets for many years, and I come highly recommended by those who know me as trustworthy and dependable. I’m a self-employed hairstylist and also own a mobile wood sign painting class business. I have the coolest little ten-year-old daughter who is with me more than 70% of the time, so maintaining flexibility is important. Welcoming and caring for pets fits naturally into our daily life. I am selective about pets coming into my home, it needs to be a good fit for both my small, senior Yorkshire Terrier and my daughter. I do require a meet-and-greet prior to providing services to ensure everyone is comfortable. My standard prices are listed, but they’re not necessarily firm. For example, if you live close to me, we can likely work out an even better rate. For reference, I live on the north side of Janesville. Feel free to message me, and we can go over the details together.

Stacy once again took really great care of my little girl. She had a rough time with the separation from me. Stacy was so thoughtful in feeding her because she wasn’t interested for a couple of days. I highly recommend her and will seek her out again for our next trip. Thanks Stacy and Delaney.

After our first booking, I’d be more than comfortable working with Stacy again.

Drop-In Visits • Jun 19, 2024

Stacy responded to my request right away. She was willing to drop in on Fathers Day to give my dog a break. She was generous enough to let Luna lay in the sunshine outside for awhile, above and beyond what I was expecting. Stacy was super friendly and professional, and I was completely comfortable leaving Luna home alone while we spent the day in Chicago.

Schedule

I have based my career around being a single mother and having my little girl a large portion of the time. Caring for your pet works nicely around my work and my daughter. This is something she and I really enjoy doing together. It is very important that I'm aware of whether your pet is good with children, since at some point in our visit there is a good chance she will be with me. She loves animals and they typically adore her as well.

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

Each pet has different needs and each pet owner has different expectations, so we can discuss this further once we have a chance to talk in person.

Pets

A typical day

I can adjust activities to the needs of the dog and or the requests of the pet owner. Different variables will effect our activities, such as weather and homeowners surroundings.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Stacy can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences, to make our visit more relaxing and enjoyable. I just want everyone to have a great, relaxing day. At this time, I am quite particular about the pets I welcome into my home. I have a senior dog that is very low activity and has grown to expect her "beauty sleep". I strongly request that your pet be treated for fleas and ticks. Also, I'm not completely opposed to house sitting in your home, it would just need to be discussed in advance to make sure it fits with my daughters schedule and the care of my own dog at home. I currently have this option marked as unavailable. Feel free to ask me about this if you feel I could help you out. The last thing I would want to do is spread myself so thin that your fur baby isn't getting the attention they need. ❤️
