Pet care experience

5 Bark Rating! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

Hello! We’ve cared for 100+ dogs and have over 60 happy Rover reviews with a high rate of repeat clients. We focus on attentive loving care, communication with owners, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Stephanie, aka Ms. Doolittle partners with her mom, Colleen, who is retired. We live and work together to care for your pets. We are both Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. We care for many different breeds, all ages, and special needs. We have experience with insulin injections, and liquid or pill medication administering (Requires signing a release waiver for medication administration.) We do not accept certain breeds, aggressive pets, or pets over 25 lbs. We do require a meet and greet prior to boarding to ensure we are the right fit for your pet. We send pics and updates every day, or as often as you would like. You can always feel free to message us anytime too! We offer house visits and pet sitting in your home for dogs or cats while you're at work or traveling. We do full boarding in our home. We have a fully enclosed brick fenced backyard with rock, turf, a pool, and plenty of shade. There are lots of dog toys in the house and dog beds. Animals are allowed to free roam inside the house, lay on the couch, and can sleep in our beds. They are monitored outside for play and potty breaks but usually prefer to spend majority of the time inside with us. We do not crate unless it’s something you require (when we leave or at night). All dogs need to be up to date on shots and must be able to get along with other dogs as we have four 10 pound dogs of our own. We can take puppies vaccinated over 8 weeks. A happy pet is the best thing in the world! We want to be a loving home while you're away so you can be stress free. We take your pets care very seriously and apply your home routine at ours, doing everything we can to make them comfortable. They will be treated and loved as a member of our family. We would love to meet you!

Colleen was so attentive to our dogs and our home! She was thoughtful in sending us pictures and messages letting us know everything was OK. Our babies really liked her, and they can be finicky! We'll look forward to booking with her again!

I recently had the pleasure of having Stephanie and Colleen watch my 4-month-old puppy, Frankie, and I can't say enough good things about the experience! From the moment Frankie arrived, it was clear she was in great hands. Frankie had an absolute blast and even made new best friends with Stephanie and Colleen’s dogs, especially their adorable puppy, Honey. It was heartwarming to see her so happy and engaged. I received daily updates, along with pictures and videos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Knowing that Frankie was having such a wonderful time made all the difference. Frankie had so much fun she didn’t want to leave! She’s a high energy puppy with separation anxiety and the fact that she so clearly had the most amazing time with Stephanie and Colleen is proof of their great care! I highly recommend these lovely ladies to anyone looking for a caring and attentive puppy sitter. I will definitely be using her services again! 10/10!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, puppy gates, and never leave the pups alone outside. In my home, they are loved as my own and can be on the couch and sleep in the bed with me unless you have strict rules against this. I try to mimick their home life to keep them comfortable and habitual. We never kennel unless requested by pet parent.

Pets

A typical day

My girls have plenty of energy to play with your pet, and just as much patience and love to make your senior or timid pup feel comfortable. We take regular potty breaks, have lots of toys and play-time time, and can take walks as weather permits.
