Safety, trust & environment

I don’t have a home for hosting pets, I provide overnight care at the client’s residence. While in your home, I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and loving environment so your pet feels comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I’m attentive to their behavior and health, and I’ll keep you updated regularly with messages or photos.

Information Stephanie D. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, I’d love to know your pet’s routine, temperament, health needs, and any special instructions. Please share details about their feeding schedule, medications, behavior, favorite activities, and any emergency contacts or house rules. This helps me keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.

A typical day

I love making sure every pet has a fun and enriching stay! Depending on your pet’s personality and preferences, we can enjoy brisk walks, gentle playtime with toys, cuddles, and even some training or mental games to keep them engaged. If your dog is social, I’m happy to take them to the dog park for some extra fun and exercise. Or if ever an appropriate opportunity I can bring my own dog along for companionship to help your pet feel more comfortable and engaged. My goal is to keep them happy, active, and comfortable while you’re away!

5+ Yrs Vet Clinic Exp! All Breeds

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes — from Pit Bulls to Jack Russells — and I truly love animals of all kinds. I have 5+ years of experience working in vet clinics where I handled doggy daycare, boarding, medication, and daily care. I also worked in my college's zoology department, so animal care has always been close to my heart. I’m available for overnight stays, walks, drop-ins, and care for dogs of any breed or size. I have a flexible schedule and will always do my best to accommodate your needs. I treat every pet like my own, and if you’re open to it, I’m happy to bring my own friendly pup along for social time or companionship. Whether your dog loves playtime, calm cuddles, or long walks, I’d love the opportunity to care for them like family!
