Pet Loving Family w/ Fenced in Yard

We have collective pet parent experience of over 40 years and have loved and cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs and even beared dragons. Personally, I previously worked at PetCo in addition to volunteering with PAWS Chicago. In both roles I received extensive training in caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. Currently, I work from home full time with a ton of flexibility and plenty of time to devote to additional fur babies.

Our dog loves staying with Stephanie and her family. He gets spoiled with extra walks and is so relaxed there. Stephanie truly is a gem and can’t wait to use her dog sitting services again

Stephanie was great with our two dogs and gave updates throughout their stay and welcomed them in a warm and pet-loving home!

Our dog had a great time with Stephanie and family. She provided lots of pictures/video and updates. My husband said at pick up our dog acted like he didn’t want to come home 🤣 Will definitely be using Stephanie again.

Stephanie was great to work with. Starting with her responsiveness to our booking request, to her being proactive setting up a meet and greet, to the care she provided for our dog, we couldn’t have asked for more.

Really glad I was able to find Stephanie. Gave me piece of mind to know they were in good care. I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures and videos that was sent. Make my dog mom heart happy!

Excellent communication and great caregiver. My pup Niko had a wonderful time with Stephanie and family for couple of days.

Schedule

I work from home full time Monday thru Friday and have complete flexibility. Meaning I have time and energy for plenty of walks, playing in the park, or even just lounging in the yard.

Safety, trust & environment

I own my home and have plenty of space to care for animals. As the mother to a toddler, our home has already been child proofed (cabinets locked, large furniture anchored, Simplisafe home security, etc.) Importantly, our yard is fenced in completely with vinyl fencing that is only a couple years old (but tried and true).

Pets

A typical day

We plan our days around your pup’s needs and desired pace. We can provide plenty of walks, games of fetch, trips to the park, and even a dip in the pool for active dogs. If your pup prefers a slower pace, we will plan for plenty of couch snuggles. We adapt to whatever pupcation your fur baby needs.

Since we do have a little one at home, it is important that we understand any aggressive behaviors your dog(s) may exhibit. We will always do a meet&greet to ensure it’s a good fit but it is also important to make us aware of any history. We strive to welcome all kinds of dogs, but those with histories of any aggressive behaviors may be better suited with an adult-only family.
