Will love your pet as if family!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of several animals, including my former bosses’ dog with special needs (he had to be fed in a doggie high chair).

Stacy is a real dog lover. Our pup can’t wait for her to come and when she does, the dog does a happy dance. She is reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves her and so do we.

Imagine leaving your beloved cat with a sitter who transforms from a stranger to a trusted companion, all while you’re miles away. This isn’t just a wishful thought; it’s my reality with Stacy, the remarkable sitter for my cherished Einstein deCat. Stacy has ‘sat’ for Einstein a couple of times, and each experience has been warmly received by him. Before the pandemic, I traveled frequently, and Einstein was accustomed to my absence. What initially attracted me to Stacy was her commitment to spending a full 30 minutes each visit, not merely completing the basics. As I resumed extended travels, I knew Einstein needed someone to be that other ‘hooman’ in his space, and Stacy was the perfect fit. Her daily pictures and occasional videos weren’t just updates; they were windows into the growing bond between her and Einstein. I’ve seen him allow her to comb his fur, a privilege he doesn’t give to just anyone, and relax next to her on the couch, a testament to their mutual affection. This isn’t mere pet sitting; it’s creating a caring environment for Einstein in my absence. I am confident in Stacy’s ability to manage any cat crisis. Should the need arise, I trust her to communicate effectively with me and any vet care providers, ensuring continuity and care tailored to any new circumstances. In a world where genuine care and trust are rare gems, finding Stacy has been a blessing. She doesn’t just watch over Einstein; she provides peace of mind, a happy cat to return to, and the freedom for me to enjoy my travels. Stacy isn’t just a cat sitter; she’s a guardian angel for both me and Einstein deCat.

I am very trustworthy and will treat your home and your animals as I would want others to treat mine. With love, care and respect.

Information Stacy R. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know in advance if your dog has special needs, loves or hates other animals or people (such as if it is okay for people to pet them), do they have any quirks or know any commands would also be helpful.

A typical day

I would love to enjoy long walks with your dog, including new neighborhoods and will change the route to keep them stimulated. If dog parks are okay with you, I can try to incorporate that as well as playing fetch or just petting them and giving them belly rubs. I will also play with your cat and give them lots of pets and love too!

I retired early at the end of 2020 and have a lot of time on my hands. Not only am I looking forward to taking care of your beloved pet, but I can’t have an animal of my own, so I will treat them with all the love I can.
