Your Pup's New BFF! Works from Home
Pet care experience
I am an extreme dog lover and have experience taking care of all types of dogs – seniors, puppies, smaller breeds, and bigger breeds. I currently have no dogs residing in my home with me, so your pup will have the place (and me) to themselves. I only board 1 dog at a time, but can make exceptions for dogs that come from the same family. While I do not do boarding services for cats, I do welcome drop-in and house-sitting requests!
Reviews
Stephanie is the best! This was our first time ever leaving our 4mo puppy with a sitter and Stephanie has spoiled us. She not only put us at ease with all her questions and preparation prior to the sitting, but kept us updated throughout the day with the most amazing pictures. THANK YOU Stephanie!
Another great stay with Stephanie!! She really take good care of my morkie :) Stephanie also sends me wonderful photos of my dog while looking after him! I highly recommend Stephanie.
This is the second time I’ve used Stephanie, but this time she stayed at my house with my fur baby for an entire week. She went above and beyond as usual. It’s so nice to go on a long vacation and not have to worry about whether or not my dog is being well taken care of. Highly recommend her services!
Another amazing stay with Stephanie!! My pup absolutely loves her. She took great care of him and send some adorable photos:)) I highly recommend Stephanie. She truly gives me peace of mind while I’m out of town, know my dog is in good hands! Thx again Stephanie.

I live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment where there is only carpet in the bedroom. Neighbors are great and many have dogs of their own who are friendly. Please let me know ahead of time if you would prefer to have your pup interact with others or not as we may run into them on our walks. The complex also has a small dog park available (typically empty whenever I go) where your pup can run around and let loose. While I am not a trainer, I make sure to adhere and follow up on any notes given to me (such as reinforcing any techniques or training that may be getting worked on). I have an extremely dog-friendly household, meaning the pups are more than welcome to get on the couch or sleep in bed with me (if that's where they're more comfortable). My balcony railing is netted, so your pup can people watch safely. I have no issues with bathing the pups, but would require cost of supplies or for supplies to be provided (shampoo, toothpaste, brush, etc.) - the one thing I am not comfortable with is clipping nails. Please note that I am on a 3rd floor walk-up, so while I can care for a senior pup, it's best they are able to go up and down the stairs okay (although if small enough I can carry them up and down). Also, I can only host pups that are already potty-trained or almost completely trained (I have carpet in the bedroom and would not want to risk an accident) – I am unable to take in pups still in the midst of training.

Information Stephanie O. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pup has any special needs ahead of time such as needs any special medication or diet, is blind/deaf, unable to go up or down stairs, and the like. Also let me know if your pup is well socialized or has never been outdoors before and any anxieties they may have.
A typical day
Some things I like to do with the pups are play catch/fetch, chase them around the apartment, play "hide and seek" with them, and if I have the toys available then engage them in some stimulating activities such as puzzle treat games or those sniff mats. Also, if they're working on any training or tricks, I like to take the time to reinforce those. During our walks, I like to take them out by the little zen garden/pond we have here and also to the small dog park we have that is well maintained. If I have a dog seatbelt available and the greenlight for car rides, I also like to take them around with the windows down, so they can feel and enjoy the breeze they all love so much.

Availability
I work from home almost all the time. There may be days that I may need to go into the office (typically 1 day out of the week and it could be weeks on end that I don't have to go in), but I am always alerted ahead of time and it is usually very flexible. Other than that, I am home basically 24/7, so your pup will be my new favorite co-worker for the time they are with me. For those wanting to schedule a meet & greet, my work hours are M-F 10a-6p, but my breaktime is flexible so please let me know ahead of time if you'd like to schedule a meet & greet during the week so I can plan accordingly.
