Pet care experience

If I’m lucky enough to take care of you dog for a little while, I want you to know I’ll look out for them like my own! I don’t currently have pets, but I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have worked as a dog groomer and sitter. I’m a dog person at heart, and can help and accommodate your pups needs!

Stephanie is amazing and did a great job with MJ, love that she has a backyard he can run around in. Will be re-booking as often as she’s willing!

Second time with Stephanie! She watched my dogs for me for a few days last year and my girls absolutely LOVED her. Usually when I drop them off with a sitter, they’ll cry and pull towards me as I leave, but with Stephanie, they ran straight into her house and made themselves right at home immediately. She also provided THE best updates; my husband and I kept cracking up at the content. Will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I have to leave my girls!

Highly recommend! Stephanie is the BEST daycare provider for my dear Leo. Leo has so much fun with her and he felt comfortable in her home right away. Stephanie keeps in touch and even sent photos of how Leo was doing during the day.

Stephanie was fantastic! She was flexible on short notice and shared pictures throughout the day of their full day of activities - will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

When I’m boarding dogs at my home or having them for day care, they have a great yard to run around in and I’ll take them for walks in my neighborhood. They’ll get lots of love from me while I’m working at home :)

Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if your dog is safe around other dogs or likes to be social, so I can determine safer routes to walk if they prefer to not encounter other dogs. If they have any preferred treats, trails, or games would love to know! Lastly, if your dog is staying over we’d like to know if they’ve ever bitten anyone or have any triggers, and if they chew furniture and aren’t potty trained. I also would want to know if your dog is crate trained at night!

A typical day

There’s so many great parks, trails, and smells for pups to check out where I live! It’s such a dog friendly area, and if they’re social I’d be happy to bring them to the local dog parks. Depending on your dog, we can play fetch and I’ll make sure to send you cute pictures of your pup!

I’m currently working from home and teach kids dance part time. I have lots of free time to take your dog on walks, or check in. For overnight care virtual work gives me a lot of flexibility.
