About: Dear pet parents:, My name is Stacy and I have about Six to Eight years of real dog sitting and walking experience. I used to mostly watch dogs for family on vacations. Now, I work for Rover. My most recent dog sitting assignment was a private sitting assignment for my neighbors two dogs, which was last minute, although, I had notice 2 days in advance this past Monday, November 4th.. The first dog, a 50 pound Collie mix male and a 45 pound Lab and Springer Spaniel mix female for 2 and a half days from Wednesday the 6th of November 2024 until the 8th of November 2024 while he traveled for work. I also watched a dog last August in 2023 for the day..I also dog sat a few summers ago for my sister's two dogs one is a big 60 pound Lab mix and the other is a Daschsund / Boxer mix about 45 pound for two days at her home while also watching my small Toy Poodle at her residence. I also watched my neighbors Yorkshire Terrier for a few hours over last summer and back in February of 2023...My dog pictured named Phoebe Loved the former neighbors dog. Sadly, she had a move Far that didn't allow any more visits. Since i have severe cat allergies, i will only be able to work with clients that do not have cats in their home if requested. I also worked as a teacher assistant for a special needs school, so compassion is treated the same way as a special child. My love of dogs grew out of watching other peoples dogs and my own experience growing up with dogs. I plan on continuing to do this type of work where i am happiest. I feel nothing compares to the love and affection a dog can bring you. I currently have a dog of my own, a special needs 7.5 year old toy poodle named Phoebe who is a sweet dog pictured on my profile. If hired, I will treat your dog like they were my own child! I have experience with dogs who have separation and anxiety issues as well. I will be signing up to take a dog CPR class so rest assured I will be certified shortly. I have watched several dogs, including Maltese and West Hyland Terriers too. I can also watch puppies and young dogs too! I am looking for a permanent one to two day a week assighnment preferablly someone that lives in the Fox Meadow apartment complex. Otherwise, I will need to come to you and please let me know if I can bring my dog. Thank you. I hope you will consider me for your dogs needs. Thank You. I hope to hear from you soon Stacy H! I have lots of time to spend spoiling your puppers. Since I had a life changing event where I was forced to make changes to a job, stemming from complications of having a seve broken nose. My condition is manageable and I still have lots of energy to play with your puppers, I decided I wanted a job where I could be in the comfort of my own apartment. I had to think outside the box..When my husband went with me to adopt our dog, that's when I knew that was something I'm extremely good at doing, I had to train her to go outside, it took a good month to three for me and five for her to get used to my husband. My love of being around small to medium, occassionally a bigger dog, was something I wanted to make a new job out of! There's nothing better than the love a pet gives you! I will spoil your puppers whether inside play, including , running around to play with squeaker toys, making him or her comfortable beds with blankets, treats and extra water bowls and food bowls. I am used to cleaning up the poop that dogs sometimes do whether nervous or anxious, occasional wetting accidents too. Also, the unexpected throw up accidents as well, it's part of the dog life. The walking , feeding and extra love and attention I can give to your puppy or dog, including senior dogs is good with me. I understand all dogs need that love at every stage of their life and they deserve the best. My dog gets along with practically all dogs. For the time being, I'm only taking on small to medium dogs as that's where I'm most comfortable and so is my dog. I can however arrange to watch a bigger dog, only if they are potty and behavior trained as I'm not experienced enough with anxiety in bigger dogs yet. If so, feel free to e mail me here and i will arrange a meet and greet. Thank you. I do not have a fenced In yard as i have a 2nd floor apartment. I however have a medium spacious apartment enough to watch two dogs which is safe and comfortable for 2 dogs to run around. I can provide blankets, dog beds, just provide your doggies favorite food and bowl and I can provide their water. Outside there are areas to walk a leashed dog or two.
