Work From Home Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. I’ve had animals my entire life, most always multiple animals, especially dogs. I have a special love for doodles of all kinds and have had 4 of my own in my adult life. I have two dogs of my own, ages 2 and 9 months who LOVE to play. We also love to have quiet time, snuggles, work on basic commands and tricks, and the occasional walk. I have two daughters, 12 and 10, that love animals and love to spend time with them as well. I also work with a local rescue and most often have foster dogs and cats in and out. We would love to include your fur baby in our family when you cannot.
Reviews
Stephanie F. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Stephanie really cared about taking care of my elderly pup. He came back home as happy as can be! She provided me with updates while I was gone and also did not hesitate to ask questions. Overall felt it was a excellent home away from home for my Coco
I could not have asked for a better sitter for my dog, Ozzie! This was his first time away from home overnight and Stephanie and her daughters took amazing care of him. Stephanie truly cares about the needs of the animal she’s caring for. She talked with me on the phone the night before to get all of the information needed for Ozzie’s stay. She was so great about continuing Ozzie’s normal routine in her home. I could tell he had the best time when I picked him up!
Stephanie & her kids did a GREAT job with our dog. It’s the longest we’ve left him, Dec 30-Jan 1. Stephanie kept us up to date & he was treated exceptionally well. Would definitely rebook!

I have a six foot wooden fence in my back yard and two young, kind, and playful dogs to keep yours company. Dogs spend their day going from inside to outside depending on needs and energy levels.

Information Stephanie F. would like to know about your pet
It’s important that your dog is okay with cats. I do have two cats and also foster for a local rescue. They’ll come across cats throughout the day. If you don’t know, we can give things a trial run to see how it goes. Dogs can be very trainable when it comes to cats! Please tell me if your dog is food or toy aggressive, what you feel their needs are throughout the day, what you’re working on at home and how you do it (I want to continue that work here). I’m open to all needs, and I will let you know if it’s something I cannot accomodate.
A typical day
We keep things loose around here. Dogs are fed in the morning. Water is accessible all day. Dogs can choose to be inside or outside depending on weather and energy needs. We have a variety of bones and toys to choose from (no rawhide or plastic toys). If energy is high and it’s needed, we can do a walk around noon and/or 3:30. I do ask the dogs to spend some quiet time during the day so as not to overexert themselves. This is usually just hanging out in the living room and getting snuggles. When your fur baby is here, they are family and will be integrated into all we do.

I work from home so I am home during the day most of the time. I am off Wednesdays and tend to run errands that day so dogs are secured dependent upon needs.
