About: Hello there :) I would love to help out with your fur baby with walks, playtime and lots of love! I am a nurse and my schedule varies each week but will have a lot of time to help out your family. I have a puppy of my own and understand the importance of everyday walks and much needed play time. I have always had a dog growing up. I am comfortable with all size and breeds of dogs. I really do have a passion for dogs and wish I could have another dog. I am available weekdays and weekends. If the calendar says I am able to watch your dog, I am but the times during the day change everyday due to work! I do have 2 dogs in the house! 2 labs very friendly. Gunner 3 years old and Sadie Mae 6 months. I am a RN and I work 4 days a week. On my days off I am always on adventure with my dog Sadie. On the days I work, she’s at home with toys and we go on a walk once I’m back. I have a 1.5 year old lab, Sadie Mae. She loves new dogs and is fixed. She can be chill and than she had energy.

About: I grew up with cats since I was 8 years old, and adopted a husky puppy about 2 years ago. I have 2 kittens and 1 dog of my own. Since becoming a pet owner myself, I have grown passionate about providing the best life and the best care for my babies! I would love to help out the community and spend my spare time caring for your furry members of your family. Having 2 years of experience training and caring for a high energy puppy, I am confident I can provide top notch care, and treat your pets as my own. I am working full time at Dow as an engineer. I have every other Friday off, but I am also able to provide care after 4 o clock on Friday’s I work. I am free Saturdays and Sundays all day.

I can easily take your dogs out for a potty break, food/water break, and a walk for drop in visits. I can crate your pup as well. I am also more than happy to provide care for your kitties, such as litter box cleaning, feeding, and lots of cuddles and treats.

“Stephanie did a great job taking care of my cat George. He can be a challenge because he has separation anxiety, but he was not stressed out when we got home. She has good communications and sends some reassuring pictures too.”

I view dogs as cherished members of the family who look to me for care and guidance. Their safety is paramount; I'm always prepared to protect my pups, even if it means putting myself at risk At the moment I am a behavioral technician and stay at home dog dad. I take care autistic children and care for any pups when you need me. I have a backyard for your dog to play and one dog of my own to keep them company. The dogs are allowed to relax wherever they like, especially the couch!
