Pet care experience
I have always had pets, and all different kinds. Growing up, my parents made sure I shared responsibility in caring for each one. I learned so much and developed a passion and I have remained consistent in rescuing, volunteering and ensuring the well being of every animal, big and small. I lived in Thailand for four years and while abroad, created my own dog walking/ dog sitting business as well as volunteering for 6 months for animal control. I have also volunteered at numerous animal shelters plus have trained countless pups and dogs. That would include walking, feeding, cleaning out kennels, and even giving each one devoted time and attention. I am a certified groomer and worked at pet supermarket for 5 years before starting to groom out of my home. I groom every pup before going home, fresh and clean (: Some years ago, I had a diabetic dog, it stated with a lot of allergies and other medical problems before I eventually had to start giving him insulin. I have experience with this sort of thing and am able to give medications including injected medication. I also have certification in dog CPR and first aid. When in my care, your pet will never be left alone or unattended. When my dog needs to go outside, she sits by door. I also have bells that they can ring if they are trained that way and a doggie door that I can put in or remove. I let my pup run around in my back yard or we go for a walk. We like to go to the dog park in the late afternoon or the evening. Walks are in the early morning or early evening, especially in the summertime. We play a lot, drink plenty of water and play some more before crashing at night. Tired dogs are well behaved dogs.😊 Feeding schedule will remain the same as you do at your home, and they will be fed separately. I have a ton of dog toys but keep them up until i have gotten to kniw your dog, as some are prove to toy aggression. and Besides my cat and dog, I have little citters that don't leave their tanks. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with a fenced yard. My dog is a little sneaker and tries to get into something almost every time I look away. When I leave I put her in her crate to keep her safe. Though I have been testing her more recently, leaving for short periods of time to train good behavior. I don't crate unless it is your preference. My kitty enjoys sleeping/hiding and they both get along well. I have a baby gate up to separate the living/dining room from the rest of the house just in case your pup is unsure of cats. If I am in your home, whatever rules you set for the care of your pet will be respected and closely followed as well as when there in my home.
Reviews
Stephanie is the best!! My dogs come home happy.
I went well! Had the dogs over for one night and had no issues. She was flexible and available. Very nice and accommodating. Got sent a photos as well during their visits.
Stephanie was fantastic to board our dogs with! We were nervous about leaving the dogs for a week since our dogs have separation anxiety. Stephanie was very welcoming and the dogs seemed to immediately take to her. Our dogs even came home with a fresh grooming she provided as part of her care. We definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again.

If you prefer a crate, I can crate them. I typically do not because dogs stay in my living room and are separated from the rest of the home by a baby gate. Although your preferences are what I stick to.
Home
Information Stephanie B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if: *Your dog does not get along with other dogs. *Has special needs of any kind. *Is on any special or veterinary prescribed dog food. *Is not house broken. *Has any known allergy. *Has any type of behavioral issue. (Seperation anxiety, food territorial, excessive howling or barking etc.) *Likes, dislikes or anything else you think I should be aware of (: Accommodations will be made for any of these.
A typical day
I love to walk and jog, which is a plus for your pup! I have specific toy buckets for indoor, yard and dog park play, but picked up until I get to know your pups tendencies. If you have specific feeding, play/walk, or administering medication times, I will follow them, but communication is key! There are two dog parks very close by that I enjoy going to. Letting them play and socialize is important for mental and physical stimulation, so let me know if for whatever reason they can't be around other dogs. I love giving treats and encouraging good behavior and training through treats. I get my treats from PetsMart or Bark Box, or Milkbones. I always have a variety on hand so make sure you let me know of anything you're uncomfortable with. I do not give my dog any kind of bones that could potentially splinter!!! As my heading states, I really will love them like my own, I love dogs so much ??

I do dog care for a living both on Rover and outside of Rover. Therefore I am always home to keep an eye on them. As previously stated, they will not be unattended. Safety first! 😊
