About Lacey
Hi I'm Lacey! I have worked with dogs and cats for almost 15 years as a kennel hand, then veterinary nurse, and as a behaviour and training assistant. Each pet has their own quirks and needs and it's always a pleasure to get to know these perfect little weirdos.
My standard dog walks are 30 minutes but hour-long sessions can be booked as a double. I recommend this for athletic and working breeds.
For pet home visits I spend 30 minutes in the home for feeding, watering, litter scooping/toileting, playtime, etc. I am also happy to add in any additional tasks such as medication administration, or grooming.
I am also happy to work with you to address behaviour problems and to help you understand any issues you're having and how to work on the unwanted behaviours.
I am a positive reinforcement trained vet nurse. This means I use encouragement and reward, rather than punishment or pressure to communicate with the animal. I have completed my Low Stress Handling, and Fear Free Professional certifications. I am experienced in dealing with behaviour issues as well as disabled or injured pets, puppies/kittens, and senior pets.
We want a fun experience for them from start to finish and I tailor my care to the pet to ensure this is the case.
I truly love my work and I can't wait to meet you and your furry family!
