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.

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!!

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.
