Pet care experience
I grew up taking care of our family dog, a toy-sized poodle, and being the dog lovers that we are, my husband and I grew our family by adopting our sweet and energetic boys (Floki- Lab-Shepard mix, Rocky- Retriever-Border Collie mix). Training, playing with, cuddling with, and watching our dogs grow has been such a great experience.They have allowed us to refresh our dog skills and gain new ones in terms of house training, crate training, leash training, and teaching tricks. We enjoy taking our pups on walks, hikes and countless adventures at the dog park and beyond. I hope to impart my experience and love onto your pup so they feel welcomed and cared for during the duration of their stay! We are excited to welcome new furry friends into our home that is filled with a dog loving toddler, room to roam, and loving care!
Reviews
We were having a tough time finding a sitter for an extended trip when Stephanie and her family came through. She was extremely kind, considerate, and had our dog’s well-being in mind. I can tell Nora really enjoyed her time at her home—especially playing with their two dogs! Stephanie also provided regular updates, giving us peace of mind! I would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!!
Our family was looking for a reliable dog sitter for a while ever since our permanent dog sitter retired from this business. Our beagle, Manga will turn 9 this year and has a few health issues. We were so fortunate to find Stephanie! Not only she cooked a special diet meal for Manga every night, but she also managed to make sure that our beagle and two of her dogs became best friends. Usually, after coming back home from the sitters, Manga used to sleep for many hours straight, which indicated that he was stressed, but coming back from Stephanie’s house he was happy and active. She was very prompt with response and updates, polite and friendly. Definitely highly recommend Stephanie as a great person and a great dog sitter! Thank you!
Stephanie was so sweet to my pup. When we came to pick him up, he didn’t want to leave. He wanted to stay and play with his new dog friends. Stephanie sent pictures and texts throughout our pups visit which was very assuring and greatly appreciated. I would definitely use Stephanie again and recommend her.
My puppy loves Stephanie! My 3 month old puppy Nico had the opportunity to attend daycare for several days with Stephanie. Stephanie was warm, attentive and knowledgeable. She made sure she understood all of Nico's needs. Stephanie has two well trained dogs in her home. They were playful but careful with Nico. Nico came home tired every day! Stephanie made scheduling easy. Her location and hours are convenient. We will be using her again very soon!
