Steph cared for our Daisy girl while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. Daisy was spoiled endlessly and I received updates all throughout her stay. Steph made all the stress of leaving her for so long- go away. We are so grateful to have such a loving, fun, and reliable caregiver for our pup. Steph is the best!!

Schedule

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.
