Information Stephanie J. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has special needs we will discuss this during the meet and greet...types of food and routines will be followed except for grazing habits. Meds will be given as per instruction. I no longer do injections.I have a decent medical background and I took a course in doggie first aid through the Red Cross online, but I would call a vet first. I have studied CPR but have never performed it.

A typical day

My backyard is amazing...mini dog park..lots of smells and squirrels. I engage your dog all day...I understand dogs!! I love to play and encourage the right type of dog for your dog...pairing is important for a good dog experience.When they go home they are tired!! My backyard is more fun and cooler than the asphalt streets so I usually don't walk your dogs

Love, fenced yard, peaceful, fun

Pet care experience

Prefer dogs under 30lb..... Your profile is very important, so please take time to fill it out so I understand your dog better. I usually watch adult dogs that are 2+ years and senior dogs. I prefer 30 pounds and under. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have always felt a strong, natural connection with them. This is how I want to spend my retirement, loving and hanging out with these wonderful 4 leggeds. I have a large fenced back yard with lots of trees and an abundance of love to give. My home is very peaceful, some would say Zen,...not a good fit for hyper puppies. There is more activity during the week with my daycare pups who are well behaved, social and friendly....which is a requirement for all dogs staying here.! There's lots of play time, chasing squirrels, cuddle and bonding time.! My roommate works from home so dogs that are constant barkers won't work...normal okay. A meet and greet is a "must" before dogs begin their stay....we both need to make sure we are compatible for the best possible experience. I work to pair dogs of like minds and compatibility, and I will let you know if I think it is a good fit or not...and why. Dogs need to be house trained and not use potty pads, unless they are senior or ill, they are taken out frequently. Boarding dogs may sleep in my bed if allowed. We become a pack and do everything together; from sleep, to meals, to play...always structured and consistent. I will follow special diet requests and required medications. About me...I have studied homeopathy and energy healing for 30 years and I have a good medical background and common sense.

Stephanie took such wonderful care of Jax over the weekend! She kept me updated with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind, and it was clear he was having the best time. Her backyard is truly a dream for dogs—plenty of space to run and play—and Jax loved having other dog friends to spend time with. Stephanie is always responsive, thoughtful, and you can genuinely feel how much she loves animals. I knew Jax was in great hands the entire time. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her—she’ll love your pet like her own.

Our dog, Homer, was given so much love at Stephnie's home. The fenced-in backyard provided what every dog wishes for: a place to romp around and sniff new smells, play ball, and chase. Stephanie really knows dogs and seemed especially tuned into our dog's anxiety. Within a day, he adjusted and thrived. She sent notes and pictures, which offered peace of mind.
