Now that I have recently retired I can devote my extra hours to the care and devotion of your pet, too! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your four legged family member soon! Please give me the opportunity to meet your pet care needs. I'm retired, I love my pets who are my top priority in planning my daily activities.

About: Growing up on a farm, I learned how to respect and love many animals. By the time I was eight years old, my family and I became the first Silver Lab breeders in Nebraska. That's when I learned how to train, exercise, and look after dogs. Throughout the years, we added cats, horses, cattle, and a donkey; which, only enhanced my expirence. I have worked with groomers, trainers, behavorlist, and vets first-hand throughout my highschool and college days. While I studied animal science at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I also was on there equestrian team. I recently got married to my husband who is in the army, and found myself with alot of spare time. I would love to spend it with walking dogs and getting to know our new neighbors! The environment your pets will be introduced to includes dog parks, hiking trails, neighbor hoods that include your own, and State Recreational Centers. To travel, I have a 2020 Ford EcoSport that is smoke free, and includes animal seatbelts to keep your fur-family safe. All outside environments will include access to fresh water, some basic training sessions (sit, stay, fetch, ect.), and a smoke free expirenced handler. Agressive dogs are welcomed here!! I have plenty of experience working with high anxiety dogs and protective dogs, and would love to help!

“Stacy did a great job! He was able to take one of our dogs to the vet for an appt also which was awesome. Very communicative, and sent pictures often! My dogs came home happy and healthy 🩵 we will be using Stacy again if we ever need our dogs to have a safe place to stay!”
“She was very loving with my little ferret and ensured she got enrichment and her medication. Discovered her passion for cat trees! Maddy Moo had a safe, separate room with a trunk full of toys to rummage through- her favorite ferret thing to do!”
“Darren and his wife were such an answer to our prayers. We boarded our dog with them over the Christmas holidays and we were so relieved knowing our dog was in their care. Our dog had not done well interacting with dogs in the past, but by the end of her stay, she was playing with their own dog like they were lifelong friends. They also sent us text updates, photos and videos while we were away to show us their progress and made us feel like we had nothing to worry about. We would highly recommend them to anyone in need of help taking care of their dogs.”
“My experience has been absolutely amazing! Acelynn has gone above and beyond for my two fur babies. She has made me feel super comfortable and at ease while I was away. Knowing that my cats were both cared for and loved exactly how I care for and love them, is all I wanted and she provided that. She went out of her way to do a meet and greet, which made me feel great knowing they were in good hands. She also sent me tons of pictures, videos and updates. I would highly recommend Acelynn!! Thank you for such a great experience!!”
