Pet care experience
I like big mutts and I cannot lie.
Hi there! I go by Stephanie. Even though I grew up surrounded by dogs—my family always had a whole pack—I don’t really count that as my official pet care experience. That truly began in 2022 when I adopted my first adult dog (and soul dog), Louie. He wasn’t the easiest puppy and he still throws new challenges at me from time to time, but I can’t imagine life without him. Through him, I’ve learned so much about puppy blues, the frustrations of potty training, crate training, leash pulling, and dealing with severe separation anxiety. Oh, and did I mention he’s an extremely picky eater? 😅 So trust me, I fully get it when you come to me with similar concerns. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and feel confident handling any of them! I have a 65lb coonhound–lab mix, Louie and an 11lb orange tabby cat, Samson. Louie has never had issues with other dogs, and Sam absolutely loves cuddling with them, I’m pretty sure he thinks he’s one of them. A little about Louie so you can see if your dog would vibe with him: despite the challenges I mentioned (he’s not THAT bad, I promise!), he’s the most down-to-earth, goofy dog ever and loves every living creature. He’s pretty lazy but will usually get up to play if your dog invites him nicely lol. Louie has zero resource guarding and no reactivity at all.

Ratings and reviews
Hannah had a wonderful time staying with Nhi and enjoyed playing with Louie. Nhi provided daily updates and pictures, which really made us feel more relaxed being away for several days. Hannah was smiling or playing or snuggling in all of the photos, so we knew she was having a great time. Appreciate Nhi taking good care of Hannah and maintaining good communication.
Great dog sitters, highly recommend
Very happy with Nhi and our first boarding experience. Nhi was attentive and communicative the entire stay. I felt very comfortable with the care my dog was receiving.
Sam had a great time playing with other dogs during his dog sitting time. Will definitely book Nhi again!
Stephanie was wonderful! She was communicative and took great care of Hannah. Hannah played well with the other dogs and enjoyed her time playing out in the yard. Stephanie made sure Hannah was comfortable and happy and helped her ease through learning a new environment. We would definitely work with Stephanie again. Thank you!
Nhi was super responsive and sent me lots of updates and photos of my pup unprompted, which was super appreciated. She was non-judgemental when I gave her a list of care instructions. She was super kind and I really appreciated her care of my pup. Because she was so nice and so responsive- I hesitate to add this part however- she does watch multiple dogs and one time and my dog did come back with two nicks that she may have not noticed or didn't want to tell me about. They are healing fine and it's okay. The other thing is that he came back smelling like pee on his underside- I noted that he had urinated in his bed and had been laying in it- again not sure if she didn't note this as she didn't mention it to me. Neither of these instances would have me not book with her again- however, for full transparency I did want to note this in my review.

Schedule
I’m currently a full time student, so I have plenty of time for your pup. I usually let the dogs out around 7–8 am, then give them breakfast. I let them out again at noon, and then once more around 3–4 pm. Dinner is usually served around 6:30–7 pm, with the last potty break at 9 pm.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house with a fully fenced yard where the doggos can run around off leash. Whenever they’re outside, I’m always out there with them, so they’re never unsupervised. I usually only take one boarding dog at a time, with the occasional exception of one extra regular (but only if I know the dog really well). For daycare, I accept a maximum of two dogs.

- Please be honest with me about your dog's behavioral concerns (leash pulling, high prey drive, separation anxiety, resource guarding, reactive, anxious, etc.), so I can plan accordingly. It would be helpful to know their commands or release word, if any.
