Availability

I work from home so I’m available around the clock for the most part. For me, playing with pets is a wonderful stress reliever so we both get something beneficial out of it. I live in a neighborhood with safe walking paths with plenty of shade. I also have nearby dog parks, weather permitting.

Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet

My dog, Oliver, is very social. He’s been around other dogs his entire life so he is good at adapting his behavior to another dog’s energy. He loves to play and cuddle, but he is also able to stay back or change his energy level. Special-needs dogs are welcome.

A typical day

Cuddles, walks, toys… I have cared for a variety of dogs and always customize my approach based on their needs. Your dog will be well entertained, exercised, and have plenty of nap space.

Stephanie was so good with our dog Lucky. It was her first time without us for a week and Stephanie worked so hard at gaining Lucky’s trust and sent us updates to help us feel at ease. We were able to fully relax and enjoy vacation knowing that Lucky was in good hands. Thank you Stephanie ❤️

Stephanie took great care of Tam! He made new friends, had lots of cuddles, and came home in good spirits.

Stephanie was great with our senior dog. She followed all the instructions we left for her and there were quite a few. House was clean when we got back and our pup was happy. Thanks Stephanie!

This was the second time of Capitan staying with Stephanie and she was ( again) wonderful! She sent daily reports with pictures, kept me updated about his interactions with other dogs and what she did to keep him comfortable and cared for (as he’s very shy). He is definitely happy when he stays with Stephanie and her dog Oliver.
