Loves to walk dogs

I grew up with two Yorkies and loved them with all of my heart. Two of the worst days I've had were the days we had to put them down. I miss the love you can feel from dogs and want to provide them with love for you while you're out of town! I started dog sitting while I was in 9th grade for a lady I also baby sat for. Ever since then, people around my hometown utilized me to dog sit all the time. My cousin was living with me recently and had a 2 year old golden retriever that grew up in my home and she recently left to be a travel nurse so I’m trying to fill my dog void again! I love to snuggle so if your dog likes to snuggle we will be perfect together!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In my yard, I have a fenced in backyard. There is a covered patio with a doggy door to access the yard once the sliding glass door is opened. There is not free range of the backyard meaning no doggy door access from the house, only the covered patio, unless you have a small dog and would like them to have access as needed

As always, Stephanie is amazing! She did a great job of communicating with me. I know my dogs are in great hands when they are with her.

Stephanie Ball is a very compassionate dog sitter. She spends extra time with our dogs while she is taking care of them, not just stopping in to feed and water them but also playing with them and taking them for walks. Dogs warm up to Stephanie quickly. We strongly recommend Stephanie to be your dog sitter! Our pups would love to have her again if she were to move back to Michigan!! Teresa & Tim

Stephanie is an awesome dog sitter! She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and trustworthy. We have hired Stephanie on many occasions, including for several long-term sitting jobs as we took vacations. We have a large dog (Bo) who's pretty easy going, but because of his size and high-energy levels, we weren't comfortable to leave him with just anyone. When leaving Bo under Stephanie's care, we never had to worry about him (which is great to be worry-free on vacation!). Stephanie not only made sure he had the necessities, food, water, and walks, but she always gave him plenty of love and attention, while also adhering to some food restrictions and being consistent with what we were training Bo on at the time (e.g. loose-leash walking, etc.). We know he loves her back, because he was always thrilled when she arrived to our house. We desperately miss having Stephanie has our go-to sitter since she moved out of our state. Highly recommend!

I would like to know how old the dog is and what breed. I don’t really have a preference on breeds, but dogs with excessive shedding may require more time for me to clean my home
