Reviews
Our dog, Mika, had a wonderful time with Stephanie. We were constantly provided with pictures and updates. Definitely on planning leaving Mika with Stephanie again, if needed. She had a great time and was definitely well-loved.
Stephanie went above and beyond to watch our Newfoundland puppy for us - this was our first time leaving her and Stephanie did a great job communicating and providing us with updates and lots of pictures of Lola each day. Her double fenced in yard and expertise in dog training were added bonuses! And because Lola loves attention and kids, knowing that her kids were there to play with her too, made us really happy! We will definitely book with Stephanie again!
Our pet care plans fell through the day before we were leaving for vacation so we tried Rover for the first time. Stephanie immediately responded and even made time to come over for a welcome visit to get to know our pet and understand his routine before we left. She was so accommodating and attentive with our senior dog, who is quite particular in his older age. Stephanie was punctual and communicative for each visit, which made us feel very safe leaving our pet in her care.
This was my first time leaving my dog alone for multiple nights and I was very nervous, but Stephanie put my mind at ease immediately. From her photos she sent of her visits with Marcy, I knew Marcy was in great hands and so happy! Stephanie was super professional, always right on time and great at communicating. Will be using her again for any future trips!

Information Stephanie B. would like to know about your pet
Pet Care Policies & Meet-and-Greets To ensure the best experience for you and your pet, I offer meet-and-greet sessions to better understand your pet’s routine, temperament, and specific needs. Safety is always my top priority, so please disclose any reactivity or resource guarding behaviors. All dogs in my care must be current on Rabies, DAP, and Bordetella (administered annually) and free of fleas. Proof of vaccination is required prior to booking. My own dogs are fully vaccinated and receive monthly flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. For daycare and boarding services, I prefer dogs that are fully potty trained and do not exhibit indoor marking behaviors, in order to maintain a clean and comfortable home environment for all pets. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your pet’s specific needs, I’m happy to help.
A typical day
Personalized Dog Walking & Daily Care Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and preferences, with safe routes and parks nearby. Your pup will always be securely leashed outdoors. During the day, dogs enjoy supervised play and interaction with my pets and children, plus access to a variety of toys, puzzle games, and treats. I adjust activities based on your dog’s needs and energy. All shared items are cleaned daily, and I’m happy to accommodate any allergies or sensitivities—just let me know!

Availability
As a full-time, home-based caretaker, I offer flexible and attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs and your schedule. I understand every pet is unique, and I’m happy to discuss how I can best support your family. Daycare Hours: 7 AM – 6 PM Pick-ups/drop-offs outside these hours are billed at the boarding rate. Your dog may interact with other pets in my care, including my own, during daycare or boarding. My goal is to provide a true “home away from home.” Pets are part of our daily routine—playing, lounging, and spending time with me, other dogs, and children just like they would in a loving home. Please note that dogs may occasionally be separated or left alone for brief periods while I attend to other client appointments—such as dog walks, drop-ins, or training sessions—or for personal reasons. I strive to be transparent about my schedule during the booking process, but please understand that schedules may occasionally change unexpectedly. You’ll receive regular updates and photos throughout the day, giving you peace of mind while you're away.
