Stacy is the owner of both Fur Real Fun and Fur Real K9’s. For more than 10 years, she has provided trusted pet sitting and dog walking services through Fur Real Fun, building lasting relationships with pets and their families throughout the St. Louis area. Her passion for animals led her to open Fur Real K9’s, where she offers dog daycare, training, and grooming in a fun, safe, and enriching environment. Whether caring for pets in their homes or welcoming them through the doors of Fur Real K9’s, Stacy is dedicated to treating every pet like family and ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve.

Julie has been grooming for 35 years, and her experience with animals goes far beyond grooming. Over the years, she has worked as a dog trainer, vet tech, hospice caretaker, general manager of a boarding facility, transporter for the Puppies for Parole program, and spent 12 years with Petco, where she earned certifications in areas including dog nutrition. She practices Reiki energy healing for animals. She also has done hospice care for Pomeranians in her own home.

What makes Julie truly special isn’t just her experience, it’s the kindness, patience, and compassion she brings to every dog she meets. She takes the time to get to know each animal as an individual and provides care that is tailored to their needs.

We trust Julie wholeheartedly, and we know that every pet who walks through our doors is in loving, capable hands. We are incredibly lucky to have her as part of our team.

Hi there, Fur Real K9's family!
I am absolutely thrilled to be part of the team and to help care for your amazing dogs. I bring a lifelong passion for animal welfare to the daycare to ensure your pups are always safe, happy, and loved.
Professional Pet Care:
I spent 8 wonderful years running my own pet sitting business in Iowa
before moving to Saint Louis.
Education:
I have a B.S. in Animal Studies from Eastern Kentucky University, which gives me a strong, psychology-backed understanding of animal behavior, cognition, and wellness.
Rescue & Volunteer Work:
I have proudly fostered over 100 animals to help them find their forever homes and have spent countless hours working on
community TNR efforts.

Rosalie is passionate about helping dogs and their owners build stronger relationships through clear communication, confidence, and positive experiences. Her patience, knowledge, and dedication have already made a huge impact on many of the dogs in our care, and we couldn’t be happier to have her on our team full-time.
