Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a homeowner in Mission, Kansas. I’ve been working as a full time pet care professional for the past 2 years, offering in-home boarding as well as drop in visits, and from time to time even daycare upon request! I have extensive experience with both dogs and cats, and I'm comfortable administering medications, including shots. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a senior citizen, or has special needs, I'm confident I can provide the individualized attention they require. I'm happy to say that all my regulars are well-socialized and love to play together! We do host multiple doggies and the house can get very lively! For those that need extra space from others, we are able to separate if needed. My home features a fenced backyard where your doggy can enjoy plenty of playtime. We love a good game of fetch! We also take regular walks down to the cul-de-sac in our quiet neighborhood. I'm home a majority of the day, and we provide consistent potty breaks at least every 2 hours. Realistically in this house potty breaks are about every 20 minutes, there’s always someone who wants to go outside 😀 At meal time, we separate everyone to avoid any food jealousy and anxiety. If they are used to free feeding, we typically take them aside every few hours to offer their food. We have a large dog fountain that most puppers love, but if they prefer their own bowl that’s fine too! I'm passionate about providing a comfortable, fun, and safe environment for your pets. I understand that leaving your beloved companions can be stressful, and I prioritize providing regular updates and photos to keep you connected while you're away. I look forward to hearing from you and learning more about your furry family member! A little bit about me: Previously in my professional life I was a sales manager for 15 years. I’ve also worked in project management, hiring programs, and HR. I really enjoy the freedom from metrics, quotas, forecasting, deadlines, conference calls, Zoom meetings, thinking outside the box, and circling back. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to enjoy life, spend time at home, and soak in the unlimited doses of serotonin with every precious tail wag, ear flop, and doggy smile. My teenage godchildren spend a lot of time with me and the puppers, you’ll be sure to meet them when you stop by. They are the best helpers and pet lovers you could ask for, we say every day - WE HAVE THE BEST LIFE! I’m a big reader, mostly audio books. One of my favorite novels is The Art of Racing in the Rain. It looks like a sad book, and it is in a way, but not the kind of sad you get mad at. Typically I enjoy mysteries, thrillers, and autobiographies but I’m always looking for your best recommendations. To book with me: Please send me a message with the dates you will need pet care. From there we can set up a meet and greet, at which time you can bring your pupper(s) over to sniff out the house and we can chat more about their care and personalities. If you feel that they will be comfortable here and we’re a good fit, feel free to confirm the booking on the Rover app. I’m happy to pick up and drop off your pups for their stay, at no additional charge. Many of my clients appreciate this, especially on travel days so please let me know if that would make things easier for you. "Happiness is a warm puppy." - Charles Schulz
