Ex-zookeeper, forever animal lover

Pet care experience

Hello fellow dog lovers! My name is Stacy. I recently left my job as a zookeeper to pursue a different career. But I am finding that animals are still very much, and will continue to be, a large part of my life. I have 6 years of zookeeping experience, 2 years of domestic animal hospital experience, and an additional 10+ years around animals. As a result, I have worked with a wide variety of animals so care would not be limited to just dogs; I am also available for cats, birds, reptiles, etc. I am more than happy to take your dog for a walk, run, hike, playtime at the park, etc. I also have experience training and would be happy to do some basic training with your pup for an extra fee. As for house sitting/boarding, please make sure I have all relevant pet information including: vet contact info, off limits lists, illnesses/medications, potty training info, activities your pet enjoys, triggers for negative behavior, friendliness levels (pet/people friendly), or any other behavioral issues I should be aware of. I will be happy to keep you updated with phone calls/texts and photos. ******PLEASE NOTE: there is a $10 fee for bookings made within 24 hours of stay. For cancellations: full refund if cancelled before 12 noon the day before booking. If cancelled after 12 noon the day before booking, owner will receive 50% refund for first 7 days and full refund for the rest.

Stacy is a dog whisperer. I knew the moment we dropped the dogs off that they were in good hands. One of my dogs is nervous reactive around strangers and she handled it like a professional by being very patient and gentle. Always kept us updated with pictures too!

Stacey deserves more than five stars! She was wonderful with Moxie while I was away and went the extra mile to make her (and me) feel completely comfortable, sending pictures and frequent updates from her stay. She's a real pro who I'd recommend to anybody feeling uneasy about leaving their dog with a complete stranger. I will for sure book with her again:)

Archie had a great day withStacey! I was so grateful to be able to drop Archie off while exploring Arches. I got lots of cute pictures and communication! Would definitely recommend Stacey if you need someone to watch your pup!
