Pet care experience
Grew up with animals my whole life. First dog was a Belgian Shepherd, he was my road dog and best friend for 15 years. Taught him agility, herding and behavior commands. I’ve had multiple cats and love them as well. Experienced with high energy and big breeds of dogs but also with smaller breeds as well. Cats are easier to take care of but also get the same amount of love and attention from me. My own cat has her daily snuggles she must be given. Experienced with puppies, kittens, even some farm animals.
Reviews
Stephanie was timely and sent nice pics and status updates so we knew what was going on with our pups and cat while we were away. We were very glad they had some TLC during our trip.
Stephanie is amazing! Our border collie loves her! We are so thankful that we can leave her with someone who cares for her as we do! She communicates well and we get lots of pics!
This was the first time we used Stephanie. She came to our house twice to meet our two dogs and our home. She was very personable and acted maturely.During the days that she did house sitting she sent us many pictures of our dogs together with personal notes. Having said this we were very surprised and disappointed to find a couple of areas of our house where our dogs relieved themselves. So that is a consideration in our wanting to use Stephanie again in the future. Which is a shame because we liked her.
Stephanie was very understanding of my crazy dogs that require a treat for entry into the home. I could tell she really cared about my poochers and Will certainly be calling her up to watch them again

Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet
My Belgian Shepard grew to be 15 years old before he went to puppy heaven. During this time, I learned how to administer his medicine and just make him as comfortable as possible. Old dogs and cats are still just puppies and kittens, they just need extra attention to make sure they are eating, drinking and comfortable. Oh, and all the lovins
A typical day
Whenever I’m watching dogs, I like to play with them with whatever toys are available or with the tennis balls I try and have with me. If we’re going on a walk, I’ll walk around the neighborhood or recommend dog park (by owner) something with familiar smells and give loads of praise and encouragement throughout the walk.
