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.

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!

Information Steph G. would like to know about your pet

• Is your pet allowed on furniture or beds? • Can they have pup cup or other treats? • How far/long do they prefer to walk? • Are there any pee commands you would like to share with me? • What other training words do you use? • What makes your pet afraid or anxious? • Is there a neighbor or another number you would like to share for emergencies? • Describe their typical morning or evening routine

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.

Stephanie always takes wonderful care of Annie. All the fun photos and updates I receive while I am away make me feel at ease! They also make me feel left out of all the fun!

Steph took the greatest care of our Levi. It was his first time being away from us since we adopted him 6 months ago so we were worried. Steph made him feel right at home by giving him plenty of cuddles, play time, and taking him on fun adventures. She is an amazing human and a one in a million dog caretaker! Steph treats your dog like a king, taking tons of photos of them and sending updates. Levi didn’t even want to come home! We are grateful to Steph and we will for sure use her 5 star boarding again.

Exceptional care for our doggie as usual. Even though it was only 2 nights he still came home with goodies and a home made card with his paws. So blessed we found Steph!

As always Maggie has a great visit with Steph. They always go on a lot of field trips and Steph keeps me updated with pictures every day. She comes back very happy
