Experienced w/ all breeds and sizes

Pet care experience

Grew up with animals my whole life. First dog was a Belgian Shepherd, he was my road dog and best friend for 15 years. Taught him agility, herding and behavior commands. I’ve had multiple cats and love them as well. Experienced with high energy and big breeds of dogs but also with smaller breeds as well. Cats are easier to take care of but also get the same amount of love and attention from me. My own cat has her daily snuggles she must be given. Experienced with puppies, kittens, even some farm animals.

Stephanie went above and beyond! We received updates and pictures daily and our pups were happy and content when we got home. Stephanie not only left our house immaculate, she scooped the poop in our backyard - definitely not something we ever expect of a dog sitter. I could not recommend her more!

Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet

My Belgian Shepard grew to be 15 years old before he went to puppy heaven. During this time, I learned how to administer his medicine and just make him as comfortable as possible. Old dogs and cats are still just puppies and kittens, they just need extra attention to make sure they are eating, drinking and comfortable. Oh, and all the lovins

A typical day

Whenever I’m watching dogs, I like to play with them with whatever toys are available or with the tennis balls I try and have with me. If we’re going on a walk, I’ll walk around the neighborhood or recommend dog park (by owner) something with familiar smells and give loads of praise and encouragement throughout the walk.
