Puppy's home away from home!

Pet care experience

I've loved animals since I was small, I wanted to be a vet when I grew up. I started out of high school as a dog bather and over the years I went from bather to kennel worker to vet assistant to groomer. I groomed dogs and cats professionally for almost 10 years. I went back to veterinary medicine side of things and have been a veterinary assistant since January 2022. I've decided to start boarding in my home to fulfill my dreams of one day opening my own pet business. If you choose me know that I will be treating your baby like one of my own. I work full time, but I am off on most weekends and I am home every morning and evening. My husband gets home a little earlier in the afternoon than I do so he would also be helping care for any pets that stay with us as well. We have an enclosed patio area much like a Florida room that we are turning into a pet room. We can kennel your pets if needed but they will have the option to have the whole room to themselves. With lots of windows to look outside, and a tv that we play when the pets are unattended I'm sure they would stay entertained! We recently put up a privacy fence so we have a fully fenced in backyard for the pups to get a good bit of off-leash exercise! And we also have a dog park nearby we can take your pets to on the weekends if we have the time. We have our own dogs that are very friendly and love to play! We do keep our pets on monthly flea and heartworm prevention and are fully vetted each year. Our 3 daughters love to play with animals and would definitely be there to give your baby some extra love and attention.

Stephanie and her family were wonderful while watching our black lab. The sent pictures and regular updates while she was in their care. I could tell our loved pet was also loved in their home.

This was my first time using Rover.com. I am a convert. Stephanie and Josh were great. My dog loved being there. He played with their dogs and kids. He was well taken care of. They sent me pictures of him, during his stay. I wasn't sure he would want to come home with me, when I picked him up. I am very please with them and would definitely use them the next time I go out of town.

They have done amazing with Blitzen both times they’ve had him, and are always available when I’ve had last minute work trips to attend.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in backyard for the dogs to play. The fence is a 6 foot wooden privacy fence that has to be checked often because our youngest pup loves to try to get out of anywhere! While we are out of the house for work, errands, or church the visiting pets are either kept in our enclosed Florida room or in a kennel.

Information Stephanie & Josh S. would like to know about your pet

It is very important that I know if your dog will get along with children and cats. Our kids safety is very important to us and we wouldn't want any bad experience from not knowing or not being able to trust a dog in our home. We do have 2 cats that live inside and we do understand some dogs have never seen a cat, but if you know your dog has acted aggressively towards a cat please let us know, again we would just like to make sure it's a good fit to keep your pet in our home.

A typical day

We let the dogs go out to potty first thing in the morning, we give everyone breakfast and any meds if needed and go about the day. Every day is different so we never have a set plan. But if we don't have much going on and the weather is nice we will sometimes take our visitors to the dog park nearby. Towards the end of the day we will have some doggy play time with a ball or a rope just whatever they like to do. Then we feed everyone dinner, one more time to go potty then it's off to bed.

I work in Manchester full time during the week, but I do have the option to bring the visiting pups to work with me, or leave them at the house in a kennel and my husband, Josh, would let them out as soon as he got home from work.
