Highlights
Pet care experience
Dedicated Stay-at-Home Dog Lover ❤️
I’ve always had a passion for dogs and cats and learned to be responsible with them from a young age. I grew up with a Bernese Mountain dog, a Cavalier King Charles and a cat. After moving from Germany, in my teenage years, I have been petsitting various breeds in addition to my (then) full-time position as a nanny for infants. My husband and I currently have a 3 year-old yellow Lab named Kodi. My passion for dogs grew even stronger with him. We started basic training with him at the age of 9 weeks old and he’s become such a joy to work with. I have also participated in multiple obedience classes and have gained basic training knowledge that I’m happy to share if interested. I’m experienced in caring for senior dogs/cats and disabled pets. My dog Kodi unfortunately had to get bilateral TPLO surgeries (torn CCL) on his legs at a year old. The recovery was brutal and took over 6 months for each leg but now, 2 years later you couldn’t even tell he had this major surgery done. Therefore I’m very much experienced in caring for dogs with special needs.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Stephanie is an absolute lifesaver and a truly wonderful person! She cared for our dog, Rex, with so much genuine love and dedication. Every single day, she provided immense peace of mind by sending over 10 photos twice a day and constantly staying in touch in real-time. We always knew exactly how Rex was doing and could see just how happy and comfortable he was in her care. What our family is most grateful for, however, is her incredible flexibility and kindness. Due to a sudden and unexpected schedule change, we had to extend Rex's stay by two whole weeks. Stephanie accommodated this massive change so graciously and willingly, taking a huge weight off our shoulders during a stressful time. If you need a reliable, highly communicative, and incredibly loving sitter, look no further. We cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough and will absolutely be reaching out to her again! Thank you so much, Stephanie!
I had to book at the last minute over a holiday weekend, and she was fantastic! She took great care of my dog and sent plenty of updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. She was especially attentive knowing my dog is afraid of fireworks and kept me well informed on how my dog was doing. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!
Stephanie and family were great to my dog Rudy.
Stephanie was amazing watching my pups. She gave her so much love and lots of play. Stephanie’s place is completely set up and I know my dog was very safe and cared for. Will rebook again and again!
Stephanie was amazing looking after my little guy. Took in giving him insulin twice a day and his special diet. Got lots of great pics of him playing with buddies he met at “camp.” Great dog friendly set up, she knowledgeable and attuned to each dog’s personalities. Hoping she’ll have us back.
Stephanie was great! She made sure our cat, Ivy, was well taken care of when we were gone and even went the extra mile to water our plants. Ivy is a bit shy with strangers and she seemed to really like Stephanie. I appreciated all of the photos and updates! We will definitely reach out to Stephanie again when we plan our next trip.

Schedule
I’m taking a break from my child care career and would love to start working with animals again. Currently I’m a ‘stay-at-home-mom’ taking care of my own child and fur baby. Your pups will rarely be alone. Therefore very flexible, as far as scheduling is concerned, and eager to care for your furry family members.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
First off, no dog is too big or too small! I currently offer drop-ins, dog walking, doggy daycare and boarding. I am experienced with administering oral medication or providing care/medical assistance to your pet, if needed. I’m happy to play, feed, bathe, train, walks and just love on your fur baby. I treat all animals as if they are my children and give them all of the love and attention possible. We live in a single family home with a fenced in yard. Your fur baby can be part of our family or completely separate in their own environment if they don’t feel comfortable around other dogs and/or children. We have an in-law suite with a complete separate entrance to the fenced in yard. I’ll treat your dog as if he/she was my own! They’re allowed on the two couches as well if the owner allows it, I don’t want to start a habit. We just want your pup to feel at home.
Pets
A typical day
I love taking them out on walks through your/our neighborhood and/or nearby nature trails. I’ll play fetch, teach new games like sniffing games for mental stimulation and other enrichments games (for example Frozen Kongs or Lick Mats). We have a fenced in yard where they can let their energy out as well. I’m aware of resource guarding between dogs therefore I’d only provide toys in a safe setting and feeding in separate areas.
