Doodle Daycare & Boarding

Pet care experience

My name is Steph. I got into dog sitting because I love dogs! I have two Goldendoodles that love to play with other dogs. I thought, why not do daycare since it’s like a play date for my pups! Win-win! Plus I work from home so it’s easy for me to hang out with your doggy all day. I have had dogs my entire life. I have studied and read many articles and books on dogs. Griffey and I have completed Intermediate Obedience, Canine Good Citizen and we are now a Certified Therapy team. My younger pup and I are working on Obedience as well. Dog training is a passion and hobby of mine. I also foster rescue dogs and puppies. Fostering is another level of “dogsitting” because there are so many challenges since some of them don’t know how to “dog”. It’s very rewarding to make a difference in their lives! Although I will watch any breed of dog, I do prefer doodles for their temperament and charm. I am married and have two children - who are great with dogs as well! We look forward to meeting your dog and sending him or her home all loved up.

Steph is GREAT! She took care of and loved our pup while we were gone and we had zero worries. Highly recommend!

This was our first time trying Rover, and we got really luck!

Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! She kept us updated throughout the day with photos (honestly the best photos we now have of our puppy are the ones she took)! We didn’t worry about our puppy because we knew he was in such great hands and had two other doodles to play with! Will absolutely be reaching out to her again to watch our little guy! Thank you again Stephanie!

Stephanie and her family were wonderful. We were able to meet her and her dogs ahead of time to introduce ourselves. Stephanie has a welcoming home, she treated my Scout like her own and was very attentive to her. Scout had an amazing day with her and I will definitely be scheduling more daycare with her. Thank you Stephanie & Family!

Safety, trust & environment

I'd like to meet your pup in advance to make sure they are comfortable with me and my house. A quick meet and greet to say hello is all we need. Then you can tell me all about your pup and any quirks they have. I have an enclosure in my backyard with artificial turf grass. It keeps their feet clean and its a safe place to go potty. I always take dogs out on a leash to go potty or to go on walks.

Information Stephanie J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or quirky behaviors I might need to know about. The more you can tell me about your dogs personality the more successful and fun time we will have together!

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. Once the dogs have got their wiggles out and have gotten to know each other a bit we usually do some tricks. If its nice out, I usually like to go on a mile walk and then come back so the dogs can nap or hang out by me while I work.
