Steph is absolutely amazing! She accommodated my last-minute booking without hesitation, which took so much stress off my shoulders. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew he was in the best hands. She truly treats him like he’s one of her own, and it shows in every little thing she does. She even threw him a birthday party, which meant so much to me and is just one example of how much love and care she puts into what she does. I never have to worry when he’s with her because I know he’s safe, happy, and genuinely loved. It’s such a relief to have someone I trust completely with my dog. I couldn’t recommend Steph more highly, and she’s always be my first choice!

Steph is amazing. Our older dig requires extra care and she knows exactly what he needs. You know your dog is in good hands and makes for a worry free vacation. She spoils him and he gets a gift bag to go home. Who does that. Steph does. She’s over the top amazing with the dogs. I can actually see him smiling. Haha.

This is our second time working with Steph and there is truly no one like her. We honestly think Sundae is sad to come home after a stay with Steph and Panda!

Steph came through for us again. Took amazing care of our girl, Mika, while we traveled back East. Steph sent us lots updates and cute pictures of Mika. We knew she was having a great time and was completely safe and happy. Steph is the best!!!

I work from home during week. Home on weekends. I have a medium sized dog that your pet can play and cuddle with. We treat our dog more than family and would yours too. I am a pet owner who truly understands the stress of finding a safe, reliable pet caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will enjoy a fenced yard with friendly male neutered dog. Your pet will have lots of walks, cuddles, enrichment games, quiet time, etc. Pets are ok on bed and furniture, if ok with you. We have carpeted stairs but wood and tile throughout rest of home. Our local vet will be happy to speak to you regarding my love and dedication towards pets - have confidence in booking! I keep a clean, non-smoking home which is deep cleaned after each pet's visit or overnight care.

Pets

A typical day

Personalized attention and care. A visit would not be complete without an adventure walk. Your pet will love Dana Point Harbor, Sea Summit, SC Beach Trail, The Strand, Heisler Park, etc. I do avoid dog parks for safety and health reasons or visit when less crowded. Perhaps your dog would like a romp in the backyard. We have a secure, high-walled backyard with grass and shade. There is always fresh water available, too. Nothing beats a car ride, too, if your pet like that, too. Pup cups are always a treat! Additionally, I recognize when your pet needs a break or rest. I probably have more pics of my dogs in my phone - ask to see.
