Availability
My partner and I are currently working from home so we have plenty of time to care for you pup(s). We wake EARLY so the AM feed/med/play routine gets started as soon as I wake. I am able to adapt the routine based on your pup’s timeline so if there are specific needs, please let us know. We also go to bed early so most pups are settled in by 8 or 9PM.

About Stephanie J.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced in back yard and crates inside the home (if your pup requires crating). I use crates for feeding and treat time if there are other dogs around (also, when/if I leave the house for errands). Safety is the most important thing to us, but please make me aware of any issues your pup may have to being crated.
Home
Information Stephanie J. would like to know about your pet
I do not have breed preferences. We are set up well for senior & geriatric dogs as well as active dogs. Please know we consider personality and ability when putting pups together. If there are any behavior issues, please be sure to let us know. Things I absolutely need to know is if your pup is resource or cage protective, and if your pup respects barriers (fences, gates, etc). More is more when it comes to telling us about any potential health issues. Specifically, ACL tears, hip dysplasia, allergies, etc!so we can modify our routine to keep your pup safe & healthy.
A typical day
Supervised, daily playtime in our fenced in back yard is a big part of our day! We let doggos outside with other doggos that have comparable physical abilities and sizes, for safety purposes.

Pet care experience
I am a local, small business owner who loves spending time with and advocating for dogs. Our home is set up for dog care with a fenced in back yard, designated dog rooms, comfy dog beds, Furbo (doggie surveillance camera), etc. My partner and I work together to create a safe and stimulating environment for visiting pups. I have 2 years experience in a veterinary hospital (treatment area) and can easily handle any special needs of your pet(s). I am especially sensitive and knowledgeable when it comes to handling senior and geriatric dogs. Proof of up-to-date veterinary records are required. I’d like to show you our home to make sure our space meets your dog’s needs. We look forward to serving your pet’s needs.
Reviews
Stephanie went above and beyond to take care of our medically fragile dog. She was so kind and communicative. We were very worried about leaving our baby, but she eased our worries immediately. I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone considering a dog sitter!
Best. Sitter. Ever. We will continue to book with Stephanie - she’s so great at watching our guy, and making sure he is comfortable. And she sends pics galore so our worries stay low!
Good communication. Our dog always comes home happy and tired.
Stephanie took great care of Stella! She arranged a time to meet us beforehand, ensured we were comfortable with her systems & loved on Stella while we were gone. She sent us videos & notes to keep us up on her days. We will use her again!
