Small Dog Love!

Pet care experience

I am a kind and patient lover of small dogs (15 lbs and under). I have fostered dogs that lived their whole lives on the streets and have doggy-sat dogs that have lived their whole lives with loving families. All dogs deserve love and respect. I would take care of your pet as I do my own, as a member of my family. AREAS OF EXPERTISE *knowledge of dog-safe, organic meals and treats *good teeth-health practices/ teeth brushing *gentle and painless eye-booger removal techniques *prescription pills *safe, mini-adventures at local parks *tummy rubs/ gentle body massages *car travel/ carseat safety *rain/cold, small-dog attire *separation anxiety training and soothing practices *incredibly patient and loving PEACEFUL ENVIRONMENT I live in a peaceful and quiet, all-adult home where your pet would have access to comfortable couches and several bedding options. We also have several small-dog toys for those rainy, indoor-play days. SAFE MINI-ADVENTURES I own several small-dog rain jackets and sweaters to wear during cold/rainy days when we need an outside potty-break. I have an extra car seat where your pet can safely and comfortably travel with us to a park and enjoy the good weather. For longer walks, I have a dog stroller so that your pet can comfortably enjoy the scenery and take a break while we continue to stroll and take in some fresh air. Additionally, I own a set of doggy stairs perfect for small dogs to safely go on and off the couch. COMMUNICATION Good communication is very important to me. I know what it’s like to be away from my pet such as when vacationing/ out of town and I would love to text you several picture/video updates of our day. DOG-WALKING (All breeds, 15lbs and under) Are you working from home but can’t get away from a long meeting? Do you take your pet to the office and need someone to come and walk your pet during a meeting/lunch? I can take your pet on a nice refreshing walk while you continue on your work day. ***FOR DAYCARE AND BOARDING IN MY HOME (Hypoallergenic breeds only, 15lbs and under): Due to my partner’s allergies, I am only able to provide daycare and boarding to hypoallergenic dogs, such as our own Yorkshire Terrier (whom we’ve had since he was 12 weeks old and is now 4 years old)*** Hypoallergenic, small dog breed examples: -Affenpinscher -Bichon Frise -Bichpoo -Bolognese -Border Terrier -Brussels Griffon -Cairn Terrier -Cavachon -Chinese Crested Dog -Coton de Tulear -Havanese -Lhasa Apso -Maltese -Maltipoo -Miniature Schnauzer -Poodle -Schnoodle -Scottish Terrier -Shih Tzu -Yorkshire Terrier -West Highland Terrier -Xoloitzcuintli I am available for doggy-day care and boarding everyday and would love to pamper your small dog. My primary goal is to ensure your small furry family member is safe and comfortable. On a typical day, we would go on several walks per day and visit several parks. No couch or bed is off limits in my home. We have several small dog toys, beds and blankets for comfortable napping. I am always home monitoring everything. I have a loving, small Yorkie boy who is very chill. Would love to set up a meet and greet at a local park to ensure we will be a good fit for you.

Lucy's stay at Stephanie's was superb! We think she had an even better vacation than we did :) Stephanie is extremely communicative, sending pictures, videos, and written updates all throughout each day. She definitely cared for Lulu as she does her own dog, asking detailed questions beforehand to ensure needs and expectations were clear. A couple unique parts to our experience that we were very appreciative of and amazed by: Our in-person meet and greet as well as tour beforehand so that Lu could meet Stephanie and her dog Ike, Stephanie taking the time to clean the dark goops off of Lucy's face each night since it builds up and becomes crusty (something we've never had a dog sitter pay attention to before!), and the dental care routine that Stephanie also conducted with Lucy. Based on the updates we received, we saw that Lucy got TONS of play time, park time, and snuggles. We were also very pleased with the accommodations and amenities that Stephanie had to offer, including ramps/stairs on to furniture. We appreciate Stephanie's level of care with our Lucy and will absolutely be booking with Stephanie again in the future!

This was our first time using the Rover App. Stephanie was AWESOME!! She was so loving and attentive to our fur-baby. She kept us informed throughout the day with pics and video's, as she cared for our girly. Was definitely a great first experience! Thank You Stephanie. ?

A typical day

WALKS We would go on several walks per day (every 2-3 hours) and visit several local parks (weather-permitting). I also have a comfortable dog stroller for longer walks so that your dog can take a break and still enjoy the scenery and fresh air. CAR-RIDING SAFETY Car-riding safety is very important to me and I have an extra car seat where your dog can enjoy a safe and comfortable car ride to our next mini-adventure. INSIDE PLAY For inside play, we have several small-dog toys for playing fetch and tuggy. NAP TIME For nap time, no couch or bed is off limits in my home. We also have several small dog beds and blankets for comfortable napping. I would absolutely love to give your furbaby a tummy/chest rub and a gentle massage to help them relax and fall asleep. GOOD TEETH HEALTH For teeth-health, I will brush their teeth with C.E.T. Poultry-flavored toothpaste (recommended by 9/12 veterinary physicians in King County) every night, provide them 1 greenie before bed and always put flavorless, advanced whitening oral care water additive in their water. HEALTHY MEALS AND TREATS I will follow any dietary restrictions as needed and requested. Otherwise, your pet will be given healthy meals and snacks I purchase at the local pet pantry. I always try to purchase organic meals and snacks with as little ingredients as possible. I am knowledgeable on what is healthy and safe for small dogs to eat. FRESH WATER Fresh water is always replenished and available as I do not withhold water from my pet. Several walks per day and before bed time will be provided so that your pet can rest comfortably. OVERNIGHT STAYS Your pet will be provided with several bedding options which include, a queen- sized bed and/or a soft playpen with several comfortable dog beds and warm blankets in my guest bedroom. Room temperature is always set to 66-68F (which I am happy to adjust depending on your pet’s needs). After some chest and tummy rubs along with a soft body massage, I will stay with your furry family member until they are ready to fall asleep. I will watch and listen to your pet from a security monitor to ensure they are falling asleep with no complications. (If your pet would prefer to sleep in my bedroom with me, that can be arranged, please let me know). ***I will always follow your instructions if they vary from any of the planned activities above. Otherwise, this would be a typical day.
