Hello, My name is Stephanie and I've been caring for dogs since I was 8. I have a beautiful 8-year-old poodle and a loving chihuahua who is 13 who I love more and more every day. From a young age, I house trained my dogs by establishing a daily routine with a regular feeding schedule and potty breaks throughout the day. I have also welcomed my friend's dogs into my home and gave reassurance with videos and pictures of their loyal friend throughout the day. As a pet owner, I have experienced many times having to leave my pets in the hands of others and it reassures me when I get daily updates of my pets and I will be sure for you to get the same reassurance that your pet is in a welcoming home. I am currently a part-time student at UTRGV and most of my classes are online so I am home most of the time. I also work part-time at an after school tutoring program. My schedule is set in the weekdays but I am flexible on the weekends. My home does not provide a fenced yard so I would take them outside in front of my home. For their daily walk, there is a park that is a couple of minutes away from my home. There is also a running trail right next to my neighboorhood where I could take them to get their daily exercise. Aside from myself, my mom and dad are also pet lovers who also grew up with dogs at a young age. My furry members of the family are also welcoming to dogs but I would keep them apart to consider the safety for our pets.
