Trust, Love & Care for Furry Paws

I raised my Shih Tzu from 3 months up until I lost him to kidney disease on 9/11/2024. I walked him on a regular basis except rainy days (he hated getting wet lol), he was potty trained and free to roam the house while I was not home. Everyone ( family, friends, neighbors) knew how much I loved and cared for him. When he was in his last days from kidney failure, I stayed by his side until the end. I kept his routine the same. I pushed him in his stroller when he could not walk anymore. Administered him an IV daily to keep him hydrated when he barely ate and drank. I laid with him and held him until he let me know it was time for him to go to that Rainbow Bridge.

I’m so thankful to Stephanie for taking such excellent care of my fur baby. She treated him like he was her very own and was so thorough with his daily routine. He had the best time with trips to the park and greenway and plenty of belly rubs. Stephanie was so thoughtful by sending me pictures or videos daily. Your fur baby is in the best hands under Stephanie’s care.

If you want to know if your pet is in good hands, then you should request Stephanie. I have known her since I moved into my neighborhood nine years ago. She is a nice, loving and kind person. Her little dog was one of my dog’s best friends until he passed in September of last year. She loved her little guy so much! I have never let Logan stay with anyone, but I didn’t hesitate to have Stephanine look after him for 5 days. She sent plenty of pics and videos, when Logan was feeling a little stress the first day, Stephanine problem solved the situation and came to a solution to ensure Logan was happy and not stressed. I’m so grateful to her time she spent taking such good care of my little guy.

When it comes to the care and love for pets I would not put my trust in anyone besides Stephanie. The care that I witnessed that she had for Giz and how she treated my dog, I asked her to be my dogs Godmother. I never thought a dog could have a God mom until I met Stephanie lol!! You will not be disappointed from any service that she will provide for your fur baby and you can be at peace that your pet is good hands. Ty again Stephanie for your service and care for our precious pets!!

Stephanie is the most loving person I know, she loves pets, I have been around her when she comes in contact with other peoples pet, and they just gravitate to her. She treats all pets, as if they were her own. A friend of ours is a traveling nurse, and she pet sits for her all the time, and they love it. My sister has a dog, and Stephanie will come way cross town, just to play with the dog, she would say that I am coming to see coco. That is truly someone who loves pets. Stephanie will definitely be a great asset to Rover.

I have been friends with Stephanie for 26 plus years, I attended her wedding when she got married and I think Stephanie is one of the most responsible people that I know. She has cared for her own pets through the years I have known her and she love anyone pets she come in contact with. I think since her dog has passed away due to natural causes this would give her an opportunity to show her love to others pets. I could not think of another person who would do a better job.

It's important for me to know your dog's personality, routines, any special needs or medications taken. If they interact well with other dogs and if they are crate trained especially being in a new environment if I need to leave my home for a few hours.
