Paws and Play-pet sitting with Love

After losing our sweet fur child two years ago, not quite ready for another but love spending time with others. I’m a full time stay at home dog dad who has been spending days sitting for friends when I decided I enjoyed it and would like to continue. Many say I am a dog whisperer. I say I just love them. I’ve sat for family and friends for a lifetime. I’m an introvert who just finds it easier to talk with dogs. 😁 We now have our nephew living with us and he has a dog 18 months American cattle dog who is so friendly and loves to play , male, neutered and shots up to date.

Stacy and his wife were amazing sitters! There was constant communication even before Kairi’s stay about her needs and habits. We received photos and videos of Kairi throughout the week and she seemed so happy and comfortable in every one. Stacy encouraged her to make herself right at home. We had such peace of mind leaving our anxious girl with them and would have Kairi stay again without a doubt. Thank you both so much!!

Stacy and his wife did an absolutely fantastic job caring for my dogs. From the moment I left them, I could tell my pups were in great hands. They went above and beyond to make sure my dogs felt comfortable, safe, and truly at home. One of my dogs is very scared of thunderstorms, and during some rainy weather, Stacy and his wife were incredibly attentive and understanding. They made sure to give extra comfort and reassurance, which meant so much to me. It’s not easy to trust someone with that level of care, but they handled it perfectly. I also really appreciated that they allowed my dogs on the couch and bed, just like at home. That small detail made a huge difference in helping them feel relaxed and secure, and I know it helped them settle in much faster. Overall, I am extremely happy with the care Stacy and his wife provided. My dogs were clearly well cared for, loved, and treated like family. They are now my go-to sitters.

Stacy is absolutely amazing, he took over 300 pictures of our sweet girl and updated us the entire time! She can’t wait to go back to see them. I highly recommend y’all bringing your pets here!

Stacy and his wife were truly exceptional with Miller. From the very beginning, their communication was fantastic, and throughout his stay they sent so many photos and videos, which meant a lot to us. Seeing how happy, relaxed, and comfortable Miller was gave us so much peace of mind. It was very clear they genuinely cared for him like he was their own. They went above and beyond in every way, and we are so grateful for the love, attention, and care they gave our sweet boy. We would absolutely trust Stacy and his wife with Miller again without hesitation and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter. This was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. Thank you both so much again!

Safety, trust & environment

All pets are true guests without limitation to furniture or beds unless mom and dad prefer that. We do not have crates so will need to be provided if that is the preference. Prefer house trained but am willing to work with puppy issues. We have ceramic tile so that helps with clean-up.

Pets

A typical day

I will play with your pet in whatever manner they prefer. I have a good size backyard live near a pond for walks. Fetch, hide and seek and catch that pigeon are fun games but I’m also willing to get on all fours with them and play tug of war.
