Experienced Canine Care
Pet care experience
I’ve owned dogs my entire life and I started my own non-profit dog rescue over 10 years ago. I have both personal and foster dogs residing in my home. The current canine crew ranges in size from 8lbs to 100. I also own three rescue equines that live on our property as well. I have experience with many breeds, including large dominant breeds, and I’m a confident dog handler. I’m comfortable interacting with, and handing, dogs that may not be trusting of new people as many dogs that come into rescue have a history of abuse and/or neglect. I also have experience with an array of canine medical conditions and I am comfortable with administering medications or providing any other medical care that may be necessary. I prefer to take in older dogs for boarding as all of my personal dogs are seniors. Dogs must be crate trained. They are only crated at night, or when we are not home, to ensure everyone’s safety.
Reviews
Stephanie was very nice and took good care of Mellow. She has a nice home in the country with other animals and I felt that mellow was safe and cared for. Thank you Stephanie!
Stephanie dealt with my dogs health crisis as the pro she is. He was in excellent hands and kept me informed regularly. Could not ask for a better caretaker!
Hazel really enjoyed her stay! Thank you
Stephanie sent me pictures and told me stories of the funny things my pup did. They were some of the same things she does at home (sitting in front of me, staring into my eyes like I can read her mind). I knew they’d connected. That makes all the difference. Thank you Stephanie!! We’ll definitely be back!

Safety, trust & environment
All dogs are leash walked as I don’t have a fenced yard. I do have a large kennel run that can be used for potty breaks for dogs that are not used to being on leash.
Home
Information Stephanie P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral or medical issues. All dogs are separated during meal times. We do have a toy box filled with nylabones and other toys that the dogs have open access to. If a dog has resource guarding issues I need to know that ahead of time. I cannot take in dogs that are barkers as I do work from home.
A typical day
We have a toy box with marrow bones, nylabones, kongs and stuffed toys. We go on walks when the weather is nice. We also have a large deck that the pups can sunbathe on.

Availability
I work from home most days so the dogs will have at least four potty breaks during the day. Dogs must be house trained and crate trained.
