“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“Morgan was SO much more than expected! She absolutely goes “The extra mile “ to ensure a safe, happy, fun-filled stay for the pups. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for that special someone to care for your pup when you need them. Morgan absolutely exceeded my greatest expectations! I hope I’m able to book with her again soon. My pup came home perfectly content. She almost didn’t even want to come home!! Thank you so very much Morgan 💗💗💗”
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and wanted to get involved with them in any way via Animal Shelters, Vet schools, externships at Veterinarian clinics, sitting for friends and family, and now here😊 this is a great step for me to continue to get acquainted with the furry friends in our community and further expand my experience and knowledge on each and every pet baby out there because as a fellow pet parent I would want my baby in the best hands as well❤️ I’m home all week and not only have the space and time but as well as the joy of caring for a new furry friend! At home my doggo sleeps in my room and plays in the yard most of the day, she has a crate in the garage where she has access to for naps throughout the day and gets fed once in the morning and before bed an hour after her daily evening walk. Depending on what the owner’s needs are for their pets I can easily adjust my routine or schedule to better match their furry babies👍🏽 We’re very flexible with our routines and schedules and love to switch things up!😊
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and professional background in caring for both animals and people. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for them through every stage. From energetic puppies to beloved seniors. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for two years, where I gained hands on experience with animal handling, administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and providing compassionate care. Today, I’m a nurse, bringing the same calm, attentive, and safety focused approach to every life I care for. I’m trained in canine CPR and emergency life saving measures, so your pet’s well being is always my top priority. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me for years to pet sit because they know I treat every animal like my own. Speaking of my own, I have a sweet 9 year old Pomeranian/Chihuahua named Phil. He’s incredibly gentle, loves other animals, enjoys cuddling, and spends most of his day happily napping. Whether your pet is young, senior, shy, or full of energy, I’ll provide loving, reliable, and attentive care so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work night shifts Monday through Thursday, while my husband works during the day, so our schedules allow for frequent supervision and plenty of one on one attention. We keep your pet’s routine as close to home as possible, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. If your baby enjoys sleeping in bed, they’re welcome to cuddle with me just like my Phil. I naturally wake throughout the night (day) every 2-3 hours to let the babies out for potty breaks if needed. I take Phil on two walks every day. Once in the morning after work and again in the evening before my shift. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, loving home where every baby becomes apart of our family. I provide care in my home, where your babies safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced, secure backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time. For added safety, my front door is located behind a locked gate, creating an extra barrier that helps prevent the little cuties from accidentally getting outside. Inside, pups become our family, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm environment. I carefully follow each pups feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special care they need. With my experience as a veterinary assistant and my nursing background, I’m attentive to changes in behavior and know how to respond quickly if concerns arise. My goal is to provide a safe, clean, and loving home where you can feel completely confident leaving your babies in my care.
“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
“So happy we found such a wonderful sitter for our 2 babies! We were nervous the 1st night since they had never been boarded before, but Emmeline provided lots of updates that helped reassure me they were in great hands. We booked a 2nd stay as we were going out of town for a wedding, and the girls really seem to be loving it there. She kept them fed on time, lots of pets/cuddles and play time with regular walks. Thanks again Emmeline!! The girls are looking forward to seeing you again soon!”
“MK was an amazing host for our boy! He was sad to leave when we picked him up from having so much fun with his new friends. HAVING A HUSKY, the air tag was great for piece of mind. We will definitely bring our boy back in the future. Thank you MK”
“Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.”
“Celia is a true dog lover. She took care of my sweet Chihuahua named Joy with love and care. It felt like I’m sending my baby to vacation spa. Celia communicate with me every day, twice a day and sent me pictures to reassure me of the well-being of my joy. I’m very happy and grateful to find such a great dog sitter. I recommend Celia with all my heart she really gave me a piece of mind while I was away.”
“Your pets will seriously get the best of care with Taylor and Brian. They both love all pets to bits, and are great at feeding schedules, medicine, and special needs. I don’t think I can recommend them highly enough. I always entrust both my dogs and cats to their care, and have had successful drop ins and boarding.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover who has owned both large and small dogs throughout my life. I’m offering pet sitting services for anyone who needs help for a few days each week, weekends, or even longer stays while you’re away. I have three children (ages 7, 5, and 3) who are gentle and accustomed to being around animals, as well as a small kitten in our home. Your pets will receive plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re gone. Whether you’re planning a vacation, business trip, or just need temporary help, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members will be well cared for in a safe and welcoming environment. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more. I look forward to helping you and your pets! 🐾 My hand is fenced with the next size backyard plus behind the house. We do have a pathway where we could take long walks in the morning and on the hot days they have the backyard. We typically stay home. We don’t venture out as much so I’m here to help you enjoy your vacation while you take your time away where your fur babies will be taken care of.

About: I’ve been a cat owner for over 8 years and currently share my home with my two cats, Suki and Remy, who keep me well-trained in the art of feline care. Between the two of them, I’ve learned that every cat has their own personality, preferences, and daily routine. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, playtime, administering basic medications when needed, and giving cats the patience and space they deserve while helping them feel comfortable and secure. Whether your cat is social and playful or prefers to observe from a safe distance, I’ll make sure they’re cared for according to their needs. As someone who regularly trusts others to care for my own cats when I travel, I understand how important communication is. I’ll provide updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is in good hands.
“Lesley is a very sweet and kind person who was willing to listen to my requests of how to take care of my cat, Remy who requires extra care since she can’t walk. She has the patience and willingness to learn and care for any pet. I would definitely recommend Lesley and hire her again.”

You can count on me to be reliable, responsible, and fully committed to your cat’s well-being
About: I grew up in a house full of animals and have been caring for dogs and cats ever since. I understand how stressful it is to leave your pet with someone new, so I make it my priority to follow their routines and keep them comfortable. My experience includes: - Senior pets who need slower-paced care and extra attention - Puppies and younger dogs who need training reinforcement and boundaries - Shy or anxious pets who take time to warm up - Cats with specific feeding schedules, litter preferences, or medical needs - Multi-pet households where each animal has different requirements I take this work seriously because I know what your pet means to you. When you book with me, you're not getting someone who's just going through the motions. You're getting someone who will care for your dog or cat the way they deserve. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which means I'm home most of the day. That gives me time to: - Take dogs on multiple walks or play sessions throughout the day - Keep cats on their normal feeding and playtime routines - Stay present for pets who need companionship or have separation anxiety I can adjust my availability based on your needs, whether that's overnight stays, drop-in visits, or regular walking. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home: - I follow your routines exactly—feeding times, walk routes, medication schedules, bedtime habits - I keep doors and gates secure, especially with escape-prone cats or anxious dogs - I send updates and photos so you know how things are going - I treat your home with respect and leave it the way I found it In my home: - Clean, pet-friendly space with secure doors and windows - Separate areas for pets who need their own space (especially important for cats) - Comfortable sleeping areas, fresh water, and plenty of playtime or downtime based on what they prefer When you trust me with your pet, I take that seriously. They get the same care, consistency, and attention I'd give my own. No exceptions.
About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.
About: My name is Daisy and I’ve always owned animals. I worked as ranch hand caring for large animals and then moved down to the smaller sector. I work as a veterinary assistant and have been there for two years. I’m a very active person and I love spending time outdoors with my pets. I have trained all of my animals and I foster pets as well. The care I give my own pets will be the same I give to yours. I work in the veterinary field and I am currently studying animal science too! I can’t imagine a life not working with animals! Every morning I wake up and tend to all my fur babies, and then get ready to go treat and love on our client’s pets. I also started my own business which involves massage therapy for horses! Every pet matters. Your pets will be treated the same way I would want mine treated. I have knowledge on quality pet care which gives owners a peace of mind when trusting their fur babies with me.
About: Throughout high school and college, I often helped out friends and neighbors by dog sitting when they couldn't take their pets on trips. I’m a huge dog lover, and I really adore all kinds of pets. Over the years, I've earned the complete trust of my friends and neighbors when it comes to looking after their pets and homes. They know they can count on me to provide loving care and ensure everything is safe and sound while they're away. I am currently working at a mental health facility. I work 3:00 pm Sun-Wed. Although I am full time I am always happy to lean a hand. Free on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays as well. I am also willing to Sundays off! I was born and raised in the Central Valley. Growing up on a farm made me exposed to many animals and I grew immense love for them. I had a wonderful time taking care of my beloved pets: a Labrador, German Shepherd, Cocker Spaniel, and a Chihuahua. They were all my babies, and I also had a horse that I adored. I'm a huge animal lover, and I miss them every day now that they are living with my older sister.

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my step daughter. We usually have her Wednesday-Thursday, Friday-Monday. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. Our step daughter loves animals and loves to help care for ours. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.
About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals. I have dreamed of working with animals since I was young. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am experienced in providing oral medications for dogs as well. Many friends and family members have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and take care of their pets. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available everyday of the week to walk, (I have two kids, so if the pups are kids friendly, I can bring my kids. If not kid friendly, I am available at 6pm or anytime after). I am available to dog sit (daily care or overnight) Friday-Mondays as of right now. My listing states I need two days in advance for a booking, but I understand sometimes things come up that we do not expect and people need services last minute. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out. Safety is my number one priority. We live on two and a half acres and have a lot of room for animals to play and explore. I do not leave my dogs unattended outside and I would not leave your dog alone outside either. I am very cautious with my dogs and I would give the same attention and cautiousness to any dogs under my watch as well. I always leash the dogs I care for when I take them outside, whether that’s to go for walks or just to go potty. I have plenty of toys and I always monitor my dogs when they play with them. I dispose of any toys that they tear into to make sure they do not ingest any parts of the toy. I have many dog beds and room inside for dogs to run and play. I do not mind animals on my furniture, I prefer them to be with me. My hallway is gated off as well, in case your dog has a special diet and needs to be fed separately. I also use this area for dogs to sleep at night if they are not crate trained. I tend to do separate feedings anyways just to be safe. My dogs are like my children and they get treated that way. I would do the same for my clients pets as well. The difference between taking your fur babies to a kennel and me is that I am home almost all day long, meaning your babies will get constant love and attention. Most kennels charge additionally for walks, one on one play time, and even group play. I spend time with my dogs (and those I care for), majority of everyday, until the late hours at night. I have two babies, my son is over a year old and my daughter is 8 months old. I do not leave them unattended with any dogs, not even my own. I do ask for you to let me know if your dogs are kid friendly. Even for dogs that are kid friendly, I am still extra cautious around children. It is better to be safe than sorry. This being said, that does not mean I will not give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I still do with my three fur babies everyday.
“Alessandra took great care of my dog while I was at work today. I appreciated her flexibility when I booked on short notice. I have confidence Sansa will be well taken care of when she stays with her during our upcoming vacation.”
About: Always had dogs. Lost my rescue dog at 19 years. Sit/board a separation anxiety prone dog. Worked at a small animal hospital for 3 years.

I enjoy walking dogs; no dogs running loose in my neighborhood. Very careful if I go out the front door. Have two indoor cats but they ignore the dog that occasionally boards with me.

I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and rest. With my veterinary medicine background, I’m confident handling a wide range of needs such as administering medications, monitoring behavior and health changes, and responding calmly in any unexpected situations. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and comfort level so they feel safe and understood. In a client’s home, I respect their space while making sure their pet feels secure in their familiar environment. In my own home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with supervision, enrichment, and plenty of affection. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like family and keep owners updated with messages, photos, and reassurance while they’re away.
About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.

About: I have had pets since I can remember and I have loved every single one of them. I currently have 3 cats 2 of which are around 12 and the 3rd is around 3. As well as 2 dogs who are 8 and 4. They are my babies and I treat them with nothing but love and care. I have also fostered 4 kittens at different times, all finding loving and caring homes I am currently only working one day a week so I have plenty of time to be there for all your animals needs, I have 3 cats, 2 dogs, and a snake of my own that I take care of daily as well as past foster kittens. With my own pets I have had to administer medication and supplements so I am well aware of the responsibilities that comes with those needs. In my home my dogs are indoor and get feed 3 times a day everyday. My cats are indoor/outdoor and come in at night and are trained to do so. I know how to get a cat to come in if they are being a little stubborn as well as getting dogs to go out to use the restroom as needed.

I go to school online so I have plenty of time I am okay with sitting or caring for your dogs in your home and can follow whatever direction and rules you have for your home and pets.

“Lauren and her family looked after Scampi as their own. He was relaxed and seemed too relaxed to come home. He was not in a hurry! I will recommend Lauren and with past experiences I will give her A+! Thanks again Lauren.”
“Morgan was SO much more than expected! She absolutely goes “The extra mile “ to ensure a safe, happy, fun-filled stay for the pups. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for that special someone to care for your pup when you need them. Morgan absolutely exceeded my greatest expectations! I hope I’m able to book with her again soon. My pup came home perfectly content. She almost didn’t even want to come home!! Thank you so very much Morgan 💗💗💗”
“Alessandra was so great! I was super nervous using this app for the first time, but feel truly lucky and blessed having found Alessandra! Upon meeting her, I was super comfortable and I felt as though I was leaving my dog in the care of a good friend or trusted family member. She was very attentive and communicative, I appreciated all the updates and photos while I was away. I have nothing but good things to say, and absolutely recommend her! She will def be my go-to dog sitter! She’s the best!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and wanted to get involved with them in any way via Animal Shelters, Vet schools, externships at Veterinarian clinics, sitting for friends and family, and now here😊 this is a great step for me to continue to get acquainted with the furry friends in our community and further expand my experience and knowledge on each and every pet baby out there because as a fellow pet parent I would want my baby in the best hands as well❤️ I’m home all week and not only have the space and time but as well as the joy of caring for a new furry friend! At home my doggo sleeps in my room and plays in the yard most of the day, she has a crate in the garage where she has access to for naps throughout the day and gets fed once in the morning and before bed an hour after her daily evening walk. Depending on what the owner’s needs are for their pets I can easily adjust my routine or schedule to better match their furry babies👍🏽 We’re very flexible with our routines and schedules and love to switch things up!😊
“Jennifer was amazing with Buddy, this is the first time I sent my boy to a dog sitter and was completely nervous about it. Jennifer understood this and made an extra effort to update me on how he was doing. Jennifer was also amazing on being flexible with time and working with how both buddy and I were getting on during this time.”
“MK was an amazing host for our boy! He was sad to leave when we picked him up from having so much fun with his new friends. HAVING A HUSKY, the air tag was great for piece of mind. We will definitely bring our boy back in the future. Thank you MK”
“Our dog has never been left with a boarder; we were very nervous and it was difficult to leave him. In the first 5 minutes, we knew that John was the person for us. He allowed our dog to approach him rather than the other way around and he seemed very interested and knowledgeable in our dog’s shyness and shortcomings. We received reassuring updates and pictures all weekend that showed us our dog was safe, bring well cared for and having a fun time. We will always use John to care for our dog.”
“Your pets will seriously get the best of care with Taylor and Brian. They both love all pets to bits, and are great at feeding schedules, medicine, and special needs. I don’t think I can recommend them highly enough. I always entrust both my dogs and cats to their care, and have had successful drop ins and boarding.”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced animal lover who has owned both large and small dogs throughout my life. I’m offering pet sitting services for anyone who needs help for a few days each week, weekends, or even longer stays while you’re away. I have three children (ages 7, 5, and 3) who are gentle and accustomed to being around animals, as well as a small kitten in our home. Your pets will receive plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re gone. Whether you’re planning a vacation, business trip, or just need temporary help, you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family members will be well cared for in a safe and welcoming environment.

We don’t venture out as much so I’m here to help you enjoy your vacation while you take your time away where your fur babies will be taken care of.
“I cannot recommend Steven enough! My dog is quite skittish with strangers and has a very specific routine at home, so I was nervous about boarding. Steven was incredibly understanding and listened to all my concerns, but what impressed me most was how he prioritized reading her body language over just following my instructions blindly. He understood that she might behave differently in a new environment and adapted brilliantly. Despite the challenges of a different household dynamic—managing a 'grazer' around his own dog and mirroring our busy family routine—he made her feel right at home. By the first night, she was eating, playing, and even sleeping in her crate! If you want a sitter who truly understands dog psychology and provides personalized care, Steven is the one.”
“Definitely 💯 recommend Mr. Kyle. He is awesome 👏. He paid attention to detail and everything we asked and said. He played with our Millie and took our her on walks. He treated her like she was his own. Which we loved.We will definitely use his services again and will recommend him. Thank you 😊 Kyle”

Comfort &calmness is what dogs love most. Feel free to ask me anything. Open availability starting after July 18th 2026, out of country currently. Looking forward to new opportunity employment. I will give great pet care to my best ability upon return and ready to put your pet sitting worries at ease. Being attentive. Having a routine is what I believe pets thrive on to be an obedient. I’ve trained my dog in the past to be great walker from a puppy to adult age and trained when it was time relieve themselves outside. I’ve learned when you use repetitive words they will eventually know what command it is. Consistency and routine is key.
About: Pet Care is important! I can help with your pets needs as your away from home whether on vacation or at work for long hours,I can stop by to help! I add more water & food, play/entertain, take cat outside for an outdoor break, or take your dog on W-A-L-Ks. I offer drop ins / dog walks during the week and overnight stay from Fri-Mon. I provided pet care services for over 10 years and met incredible pets ranging from: your traditional pets(dogs,cats,fish), exotic pets( Asian water monitor Lizard, birds), farm animals (bunnies, chickens, etc.) As a dedicated pet sitter, my daily and weekly routine revolves around ensuring the well-being and happiness of the pets under my care. Here's an overview of how pet care fits into my schedule: Daily Routine: Morning Check-ins: I start the day by visiting each pet on time.This includes feeding, providing fresh water, and spending quality time with them for play and companionship. Midday Breaks: For clients who prefer midday check-ins, I make sure to visit again to offer bathroom breaks, playtime, and any necessary medications. Afternoon Activities: In the afternoon, I engage pets in activities suitable for their energy levels, whether it's a walk, interactive play, or simply some cuddle time. Evening Check-ins: The evening routine involves another round of feeding, ensuring their comfort, and spending time with them before bedtime. 1.Dedicated Pet Space: Pets have access to a dedicated and comfortable space in my home, ensuring they have their own area to relax, sleep, and play. This space is designed to make them feel secure and at home. Dogs in my care will also have the opportunity to go outside every hour for approximately 30 minutes, where they can enjoy the fresh air and outdoor environment. During this time, they will be closely monitored to ensure their safety and well-being. 2.Regular Exercise: Pets staying with me enjoy regular exercise routines, including walks, playtime, and access to a secure outdoor area. 3.Social Interaction: Pets are not only included in my daily activities but also have social time with the residents of the home, including my own friendly dogs. My four dogs, spanning different ages, are consistently supervised during play sessions to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment. 4.Feeding Schedule: I maintain a consistent feeding schedule based on the pet's dietary needs and preferences, following any specific instructions provided by the owner. 5.Grooming and Hygiene: Basic grooming activities such as brushing are included in the care routine. Please note that nail trimming is not offered. However, I do provide a deep clean wash and dry for an additional $15 charge, ensuring your pet receives a thorough grooming experience. 6.Health Monitoring: I pay close attention to the pet's health and behavior, promptly addressing any concerns and providing necessary medications or veterinary care.
“Stacy was a great communicator! And has a great memory! Remembered lots of little details about my dog and his behavior. She sent lots of photos and would let me know every time she was giving meds. It most likely is because of year that I brought my pup to her, but he did come home with a couple foxtails and fleas. So just make sure your dog is up to date on his flea meds. I was behind on giving my dog his meds before arriving so it was my fault he caught them. If you have a dog prone to foxtails it might not be the best option for you (at least during the spring). But if you have a short hair (lab) like me it still worked out well. Overall, Stacy is a very sweet person who truly loves animals. Both me and my boyfriend commented on how nice she is. She truly cared for my baby and wanted to please both me and him. 🤍”
