Information Steph M. would like to know about your pet

Are they are potty trained? Are they crated? How well, if at all, does your pet get along with other animals/dogs? Are they properly leash trained? How often is your dog walked? Is your Dog "talkative" communicates/barks a lot? How long can your pet be alone? Are there any limitations? (Some older dogs need assistance or can't go up the stairs very well.) Are there any allergies, and if they require the administration of any medications? Any type of anxiety? Are they able to self soothe? Are they independent, or require extra attention? What is a typical day is like for them? I send a questionnaire to pet parents to insure it’s a good fit for your four legged friend.

A typical day

I enjoy walking on the trials, (the Ridgeline trail is my favorite.) Being in their natural habitat, nature is the goal. Some dogs do well at the dog park. I enjoying playing fetch, tug of war, running around, and cuddling them. If they enjoying being brushed I brush them after walks or playing.

Steph M.'s Neighborhood

I love our four legged friends.

Pet care experience

My love for animals is genuine. They've been a part of my life since childhood. I often pet sit for my friends and family alike. While being cared for in my home, our four legged friends will enjoy playing fetch, hide and seek, tug of war, and of course getting cuddles too. I welcome elderly dogs as well. I have experience in administering medications, assisting elderly dogs with walking issues, hip issues, along with the blind, and the deaf dogs; they are all welcome and well taken care of here. I do allow most dogs on some furniture with a blanket provided by the owner. However, I do not allow them in beds. * I only accept dogs from one family at a time, and I only can accommodate 2 dogs at once. *.

Steph went above and beyond to care for our fur baby. He struggles with separation anxiety and she was extremely attentive to his needs to make sure he was cuddled and comfortable. She also gave daily updates and photos which were really nice so we knew he was doing well! Highly recommend and we look forward to future stays!
