Vast fenced in yard. 🏠Full-Time ❤️

Pet care experience

*I have been out of town for 4 months due to a family emergency, I am BACK* Hello, I have taken care of dogs for eight years. I have a Golden Retriever myself which by now you have seen his beautiful face. Throughout the years I have watched my neighbors dogs inside my home. These dogs have either stayed for the day, overnight, or have done boarding with me, and we have a blast. We take play, take walks, watch animals shows because let’s face it what animal doesn’t. Oh and I love taking the dogs to T.J. Maxx when I have the chance they are super dog friendly and the dogs live for it! I definitely spoil every dog and take many pictures.

Thanks again for having Lula for another wonderful stay, and for keeping us updated while we were gone for so long!

This was my first time using rover for my pup and we boarded him for 4 days with Stephanie. Moose tends to have some separation anxiety at first when we try to leave him with someone else, but he was ready to play and mingle the minute we left! Stephanie did a great job updating us all weekend with pics and it was evident Moose was having a blast. I felt like she cared for him like one of her own; we were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was well cared for and in great hands. Thank you Stephanie !! We’ll definitely be in touch for future trips :)

Stephanie is amazing. Our pup can be shy and anxious with new people and new environments but Stephanie put her right at ease and took wonderful care of her, along with sweetie Tank who quickly became her new best buddy. Our pup had a great vacay and was very happy and content to be with Stephanie ~very Highly recommend.

I do have a fenced in yard. I am always with your dogs full-time inside and outside. My backyard is like a trail with the stairs so the dogs love it. The dogs get a kick out of running down the stairs and doing the zoomies. I enjoy going on walks around my neighbors, as well as going to trails letting the dogs walk and going to safe open areas where they can also release a lot of energy while getting exercise. I also have a doggie door where the dogs are free to come go in and out. **** PLEASE READ DO NOT book if your pet has been sick the day before or day of boarding/sitting. (ex: vomiting, diarrhea.) I will cancel the booking your pet may need a vet, I’m not a Veterinarian. My background is in healthcare. I would not want my sick baby in your home so in return I would ask that you give me the same respect. Thanks.

I love to walk around my neighborhood and throw balls in my fenced in backyard. When it’s not raining I enjoy going on trail that are safe and spacious so the dogs can run around and have a good time.

I make time for every every dog I work from home. As I just finished up school. I am extremely flexible currently that is why I decided to be with all of your beautiful dogs. I want to meet and get to know your animals and their personalities and connect with them. It’s not just about watching them because anyone can watch your dog, but it’s about having someone really care about them. I really do care about animals in general, and I will not just care for your dog but we will also have a lot of fun. At the end of the day our dogs are our babies and we want someone who will treat them like we do or somewhat close. I love my dog too much to treat anyone else’s dog less than. Your dog will be SPOILED!
