Information Stephanie D. would like to know about your pet

I would just like to know a little bit about the dog's personality, feeding schedule, how often he/she is used to walking outside, etc. No breed preferences. I usually check to see if the dog is comfortable around children. I also request a current photo if there is not one on your profile to see that the dog is small or medium size. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and cannot provide services for them.

A typical day

I go on walks around the neighborhood every day. I also spend a lot of time in my large backyard with my family. We have a big oak tree that gives us tons of shade. Both of my daughters love dogs and enjoy playing inside and outside with them.

I needed a last minute sitter for my dog due to having to attend an out-of-town wedding, and Stephanie graciously agreed to help with only one day’s notice. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Stephanie went above and beyond while caring for my dog overnight. She sent me pictures throughout the day, took him on walks, and treated him as if he were her own. It was clear he was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for the entire time. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially on such short notice. I can’t imagine hiring anyone else to care for my Gizmo the next time I’m in need. I’m incredibly grateful for Stephanie’s kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Stephanie took good care of my pup, was a good communicator. Would use again when in the area. Great location if you’re heading north for a Florida State Fairground event!

Stephanie was outstanding! Would definitely recommend her services. I sure know who I'd call whenever I need a dog sitter to take care of my family pet.
