Steph's Critter Club

Pet care experience

Steph's Critter Club is the purrrfect place for your animals to play, stay or pass the time away! Please note that I do have a child in the house so dogs must be okay with children. My name is Stephanie and I love animals. I have been around them since the age of 3 and I have over 30 years of experience with animals of all kinds. This experience includes loving, caring for, training/discipline and most importantly playing! I have experience with cats, dogs, fish, snakes, rats and mice, turtles, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and bearded dragons. I require meet and greets prior to booking due to the fact that I have a 4 year old And want to make sure your pup or pups will be comfortable here In addition to caring for other people's fur babies, I have a critter family of my own. This includes 5 cats and fish. Our cats get along well with people and other animals but if needed they have access to their own cat room and can be kept away from any uncertain or high stress pooches. Your pet's safety is my first priority. I would never put your pet in any situation where they can get hurt but accidents do happen and I can provide transportation to a vet if an emergency arises via family vehicle or cab. We have numerous vets in our area and I have the Niagara Vet Emergency Clinic on speed dial just in case. They offer 24/hr services including holidays. I am able to offer services that are catered to your pet's unique needs whether it's exercise, feeding restrictions, special care, etc. If your dog is full of energy, I offer long walks and running or playing in a fenced yard. If they are a couch potato we will go for a nice short relaxing walk, snuggle on the couch (If they're allowed on furniture) and do some exploring in the backyard. For sleeping arrangements, I can do whatever works best for you and your pet but just know our king size bed is open to all :) If a cat is being boarded here, they have full access to a kitty room. I am comfortable providing care to all animals but do request dogs over 40lbs have some form of obedience training to ensure providing care is easier for all involved. I am able to provide pets with any form of a pill or oral medications but have not been trained for injections. I have had many pawsome experiences with all kinds of animals and my favourite thing about them is how non-judgemental and accepting they are. I would love to meet you and your furry friends and welcome any questions or concerns. Have a pawsitively great day! I do not work as I am a stay-at-home mom so I'm always available for walks, potty breaks and play time! My toddler loves playing and cuddling so she's a great helper. I care for your pets as if they were my own. I will never put your pet into a situation that could cause them harm. This includes no interacting with other dogs while on walks. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom and my toddler and I don't really have a set schedule so we can definitely work to keep a similar schedule that the dog or dogs are used to at home I have a fenced yard and we love being outside So lounging in the backyard, playing fetch or walks are always included. If we are stuck inside for any reason and they are a playful dog we will do our best to keep them entertained with toys. If they are more of a couch potato we will get lots of cuddle time in

As always Stephanie has taken great care of our Rocky while we were away. We feel very comfortable knowing that loving hands will care for our dog.

I leave Rocky with Stephanie, knowing he will be well cared for, and with no concerns whatever. Rocky loves Stephanie and her daughter Penny. I really appreciate all the photos and videos Stephanie sends me. He always looks so contented, and that helps me enjoy my time away.

Information Stephanie C. would like to know about your pet

Any special dietary restrictions. How often they need potty breaks and how many walks they would require. I also like to know their energy level so I can kind of plan the day. If the dog is more of a couch potato than we will spend time inside with cuddles and rubs. If the dog has high energy level we will spend lots of time outside.

A typical day

We love playing catch and tug of war. Running around the backyard is also a favorite activity. On walks there is a little creek near my house that I love taking dogs for walks along.
