Looking to fill my home with pups!
Pet care experience
I have always watched dogs since I was young. Growing up I regularly watched a pair of coon hounds that were bigger than me and such sweet girls and I loved getting to spend time with them. I haven't met a dog that I don't like. I've watched big energetic dogs, older dogs that need more naps and loving, big dogs that think they are lapdogs, and small little dogs that think they are big dogs. I frequently watch my aunt's miniature yorkies and they are feisty pups that think they are goats. I've even watched some llamas and alpacas before. I love all animals and grew up wanting to be a zoologist. I volunteered at the Indy zoo as a teenager in animal care but my allergies to the hay made me realize that it would not be the best long term job for me. My neicepup was just living with me and she had to be put to sleep recently because of a cancerous tumor that spread too quickly. I miss having her around my house, but I'm not ready to get another dog yet. I am currently in school finishing up my teaching license and working at a part time job. I am home typically in the afternoon because I go in to work around 4:30am. My brother is also living with me and he works from home and is at home most of the day. He travels a lot so he may not always be around. I am flexible, and I would love to offer a place for others to bring their dog to get lots of loving and attention while they are away. I have a fenced in yard which includes a bunny living under the porch, my neicepup loved to chase it when it came out. I enjoy taking walks with dogs and my gym also has dogs that come often (if that is something you would allow me to bring your dog to). My brother is living in my house and he loves dogs as well. My parent's are only a few miles away and able to assist in case of emergencies and very willing to bring treats when they visit. :)
Reviews
Photos were provided daily and TLC was received by our fur family while we were gone. Had no worries with the care they provided or the accommodations given... due to the friendly home environment and nice fenced-in backyard available. We will be using Stephanie & Kevin the next time we need to be out-of-town. We are very happy with the care they provided.
Stephanie & Kevin were great with my pup! We had a meet & greet beforehand and they made me feel comfortable leaving her over the 4th of July, knowing she was doing to be scared and anxious the whole day. She had a great time, I would recommend them any time!
Super nice, showed my baby lots of love. Will definitely use again.
Stephanie did a fantastic job taking

Information Stephanie & Kevin A. would like to know about your pet
I would want to know how they are around other dogs, people, children, food, just their general behavior and temperament. I will adapt my routine or living space depending on what they need. I prefer big dogs and I have a soft spot for pitbulls but I would probably not take other dogs while hosting a pittie or some other big breeds, just to be on the safe side.
A typical day
I have many toys and treats in my house. I live in a small neighborhood that is good for walks. In the summer I like to take pups to my grandma's lake and I even have a lifejacket that my late niecepup never got to wear. I enjoy getting pup cups for puppers and I would love to bring pups to my gym so they aren't sitting at home alone. Realistically, I would have a dog with me all the time if it was possible and acceptable. Also all of these activities would be discussed and approved beforehand and I would not give your dog any treats or food items without your permission. Every pupper has their own needs and I don't want to disrupt their routine.
