Pet care experience
Dogs (all animals, really) make life better. I work from home and have two fur babies of my own: Ruta & Edwin. Ruta is a 10 year old gentle giant who has had severe allergies & idiopathic epilepsy since he was a puppy. Because he's needed extra TLC his whole life, I'm very experienced in administering meds, double checking food labels/avoiding allergens, making frequent vet visits, and giving extra long cuddles. My boy Edwin (mini Aussie) is a rescue that does not like other animal friends but with lots of patience, training, and established boundaries, my partner and I have been able to safely integrate our boys so we're one, somewhat-socially-distant pack. Edwin goes to the office during the week to supervise his dad. Ruta and I have the house to ourselves and would love to have your dogs over for playtime/doggie daycare.
Reviews
Stephanie was great! She was really accommodating and flexible with a last minute issue that popped up. Her communication was great throughout the whole process and trip. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future.
Stephanie was amazing!! You can tell she really cares about animals. I felt totally at east while I was away for a week and I can't wait to use her again!!!!
Stephanie was great with my energetic pointer mix! She sent me pics of the dogs playing and kept me updated throughout the weekend. I know my pup got lots of playtime and snuggles over at Stephanie's house!
Stephanie was amazing. During our initial meet she was very attentive to learning about my Dog, she took notes and was very organized. Her house is great with a large backyard. During my Dog's stay, she updated me daily with photos and notes about how he was doing. When I picked him up he seemed as happy as could be. I am definitely planning on using Stephanie again and am so happy we have found her!

What I'd like to know about your pet Everything. What's their routine? Are they friendly? Do they have triggers? Doggie daycare/playtime I have 2 fenced yards to make outside playtime and potty breaks easy: front & back. My front fence is only 4ft tall at its shortest point, so let me know if your dog is an escape artist or protective of the fence and we'll stick to the back. Dogs are allowed in all rooms & on furniture. Housesitting The more info you can share on routine, the better. I try to be flexible and accommodate pets so they feel comfortable and relaxed even with their favorite people away. I typically spend most of the day at your home but will leave to run errands, workout, and grab food. Your pup won't ever be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time if I do leave the house during the day. Overnights are dependent on request and pet needs.

Information Stephanie L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs + issues your pet may have. I'd also like to fully understand routines (feeding, potty breaks, treats, walks, meds, where your pet prefers to sleep, etc). Any other preferences. Triggers. Favorite activities.
A typical day
I like to keep it simple with neighborhood walks and backyard playtime. With the extreme summer heat indoor playtime with toys and enrichment help to keep doggos engaged and cool.

Availability
I work from home full time. During the day it's typically just me and my 10yr GSD, Ruta. My two main areas of focus are doggie daycare during the week M-Th and house-sitting for long weekends (pls book early for longer trips so I can block my calendar as needed). Doggie playtime/daycare hours: 7AM-5:30PM Housesitting: I'm able to stay with your pup during the day as long as I have access to reliable high-speed internet for work. Happy to incorporate overnights if needed.
