Dear Pet Owner,

I am writing this letter to recommend Stacy Lymber as an excellent caregiver for your family pet. I have known Stacy for over six years. She is trustworthy, conscientious and LOVES animals. She has taken care of our family dog many times over the years when we have been away on vacation.

We are a family with two working professionals, two children and one beloved dog, Blizzard. Blizzard is a large standard poodle who has lived with us for ten years, since he was a puppy. He is an important part of our family and brings us a great deal of delight and joy. He is also very smart, affectionate, playful and sociable, and we include him with us on outings and activities whenever possible. Thus, it is quite hard for us to leave him behind when we go away for vacations. This is where Stacy has stepped in to give us peace of mind when we are away.

When Blizzard sees the suitcases appear, he knows just what is going on and lets us know he is not happy with what is about to happen. Have you ever seen a poodle lay on a guilt trip? He is a master! But fortunately, Blizzard took an instant liking to Stacy, and she to him. We know that Blizzard is not just being fed and watered when we are away, but that he is getting walks and lots of attention, play and affection. And we know that Stacy is 100% reliable—and goes beyond the call of duty. (For instance, that time when our watering system was leaking and she tracked us down in the mountains out of cell phone range.)

Blizzard is a bit territorial when the doorbell rings, and usually has to get in a few good barks after friends enter the house, even if they have been here frequently. But that isn’t how he greets Stacy. The minute he sees (or smells?) her, his tail is wagging and he nuzzles right up to her, knowing she is a pal. And she greets him like a long lost friend, romping with him and generally stirring him up with affection and fun.

Taking a walk with Stacy means stopping to greet any dog or cat one might come across. Her face lights up as if she has discovered an old friend. She talks about her pets as if they were family members—and for her, they are. She has tremendous respect for the individuality of animals and views them as an important and integral part of our society. She is knowledgeable and passionate about ensuring their lives are as full and comfortable as possible.

Stacy is bright, upbeat and fun. She will not only care for your pets, but you will enjoy getting to know her and having her come to your home. I highly recommend her services—so does Blizzard!

Sincerely,
Beverly Altschuler
