I'm lucky enough to be able to care for your furry loved one full time. This means I can maintain their routine, whether that involves administering medication, more frequent walks/bathroom breaks, or specific bedtime activities.

Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet
In order to keep your furry family member safe and comfortable, I'd love to know the following prior to booking: 1. Is your furry family member up to date on their vaccinations? 2. Are they currently on flea medication? 3. Do they have any specific needs I need to be aware of (for example, arthritis, leash reactivity, resource guarding, separation anxiety, food allergies).
A typical day

Enrichment activities include but are not limited to: - Social: supervised play sessions with my dogs as well as engaged walks - Nutritional: scent and nose-based games - Occupational: agility, fetch, and/or behavioral training sessions - Sensory: music, introduction to new scents in my home, and introduction to new scents and environments on walks - Physical: morning, midday, and evening walks

Experienced & engaged dog caretaker
Pet care experience
Having raised rescue dogs of my own for the past 17 years, I'm acutely aware that each dog has their own backstory, unique needs, and special personality. I strive to care for your family member the same way you do, by thoroughly crafting a care plan for each pup under my watch.
Reviews
Stephanie and Sunny took such good care of my Aster while I was away on a work trip. I got extensive updates, photos, and videos. Aster needs a lot of exercise and they ran her alongside their bikes. Aster is also a rescue and recently adopted so still learning what her quirks are. Stephanie and Sunny took it slow with introductions. Would call on them again!
Stephanie has been doing drop ins for us for two weeks now. She's incredibly responsive and prompt, and it's clear our dogs adore her! Couldn't recommend her more
Stephanie is an absolute D R E A M of a boarder. This was my first time leaving my first born son with a stranger and Stephanie really took the time to thoroughly address all of my concerns. Stephanie is patient, caring, thorough, awesome, possum, blossom. How lucky we were to find her. She doesn’t know (until she reads this hehe) that she has provided the best experience for my guy. Stephanie, I appreciate you and your family - thank you immensely. Hands and toes down, will book again!!! You won’t regret it!!!!
Stephanie took incredible care of Issra and communication couldn’t have been easier. It’s hard to leave my pup so getting the pictures and updates made it so much easier. Would highly recommend!
