Pets in my home are crated and fed separately unless they are family and need to be crated together. We have a fully finished tiled basement where the animals are kept in crates and a back door leading to a 6 ft. fenced yard. Dogs are let out individually or in families to relieve themselves. We live right besides the Washington veterinary Clinic and Dr. Stultz is just across the yard.

Dogs are let out first thing in the mornings and then fed and have their medicine if they are on any. Dogs are let out every 2 hours for potty and exercise breaks.

Information Loretta & Stephen H. would like to know about your pet

At a typical Meet and Greet I will have an information sheet we will fill out together that has all the important info for us to use to care for your pet properly. I'm no longer able to board or doggy daycare pets that have ANXIETY as I have 2 veterans, my husband and our son in our home who both can't handle the noise and running around of those pets that have anxiety.

A typical day

A typical day at StayTopia consists of potty breaks as soon as they are let out of the crate in the a.m. then morning food, water and meds ( for those pets who take them) then alternating between outside play and indoor quiet times and belly rubs. Pets are let outside every 1-1/2 to 2 hr. for potty and exercise.

Pet care experience

I have over 46 years of experience with dogs and cats. I have trained all of our dogs simple commands like; sit, stay, come, stop, and bell training for going to the potty. I'm experienced with administering medications in all forms. I do not work outside the home so I am always with my animals, they have constant attention and frequent potty and exercise breaks (every 2 hours). I thoroughly enjoy taking care of not only my animal, but yours as well.

Loretta & Stephen, we are so grateful for your amazing care and attention to our sweet dogs. I was not worried about them being cared for since I was confident they were in great hands with your care. Looking forward to working with you again in the future.

Oliver had an amazing time and played his heart out in Loretta and Stephen’s beautiful yard. They took such wonderful care of our baby and sent videos and photos while we were out of town. I would highly recommend Loretta and Stephen to watch any of your furbabies, mine will be coming back for the next trip! 💕
