4. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie and her sweet family have been my “go-to” option whenever I need a spot for Rugby to stay. Just this week I realized that I needed last minute accommodations for him, and Stephanie, along with her “Team”, was able to welcome him again into their home. They even sent him home with a treat bag!! Rugby loves spending time with Stephanie and her kids, and I highly recommend you contact them if you need a temporary home for your pet while you’re away. Your dog will be well-loved and cared for.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs in my neighborhood for years. I had a German Shorthair Pinter I trained. I have had a umber of cats over the years. My dog now is 14 yes.! I am a retired teacher so I have the time to care for your dogs! I am available everyday. I do attend church on Sunday’s for 3 hours. Other wise I’m am home all day. First thing in the morning we are out the door for a walk around the neighborhood. We come the dogs have a fresh clean bowl of water and a treat. My dog eats around 12 o’clock. I feel his bowl up with his favorite dog food from blue buffalo. Second walk of the day is around noon outside around the neighborhood check in with some of the friends dogs and back home. We take a little nap around 2 o’clock and then back out for another walk around five. My dog gets another bowl full of blue buffalo. Sometimes he eats it and sometimes he waits and eats it later in the evening. We go out approximately between nine and 10 o’clock. The last of the day potty breaks. I try to keep the same schedule for the dogs so they know what they have to do when we go outside.

About: I work from home and am a fur baby mom to 2 dogs and a cat. Caring for pets comes naturally, I can hardly remember a time where dogs weren't a part of my life! I love them and love caring for them! My 2 pups are always eager to play with new friends too! I have a ranch style home with a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play! Of course, any special diets will be strictly adhered to provided you supply what is needed as well. From puppies to seniors, I will care for them all! Your pup is sure to feel the love in my home. Feel free to ask any questions. Hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I work from home, so I'm available to let out pups for potty breaks or go on a short walk throughout the day. Treats are at the ready too! My pups are spoiled and receive lots of love and attention throughout the day, and so will yours! Can't wait to meet your fur baby!
