ABOUT ME
Thank you for considering me to care for your dog(s). My goal is to provide them with an outlet for physical activity, positive mental stimulation, and peace of mind through dependable and loving care. In short, you can count on me to show up and deliver awesome care!
​
I am the owner-operator of Southern Hound Hikes with no employees or contractors, so you don’t have to worry about rotating staff or strangers coming into your home, and I will be able to build a great relationship with your dog(s). Also, I only walk your family's dog(s) on their own without other dogs so there isn't a stressful pack, and your dog(s) will receive all of my attention. I am bonded and insured, and I am certified in Dog First Aid by the American Red Cross.
I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s)!

“I started using Southern Hound Hikes when I moved to the area. I could not be happier with the level of responsiveness, attentiveness, and care! Stacey is super reliable and attentive to everything,"

"I highly recommend Stacey and Southern Hound Hikes! You can tell right away that dogs are her passion and I feel at complete ease when she is caring for my dogs. I tried a nationwide dog service before but I ran into a lot of no-shows and cancellations. Stacey has been 100% dependable, responsive, and she goes the extra mile to make sure I’m happy and my dogs are too. Thank you Stacey!"

“Southern Hound Hikes is fantastic! It is super-easy to schedule an appointment online and I love that there are no extra fees for weekends and holidays. Stacey has been so dependable and flexible, and we love that she uses a gps tracker on our dog’s collar during walks. We will for sure be using Southern Hound Hikes again!”
