I do live my life around animals. It is a burning passion in my heart and it is my purpose. I work about 30 hours during the week as a hair stylist. My fullest time job is at home caring for my own babies and for my rescues. My cousin lives with me and our schedules are pretty different. She has a heart for animals, too so they get double the love and attention 💜 I have dealt with several different personalities and I enjoy gaining their trust and love. When the weather is nice, we spend as much time playing outside as they want. No dogs are left outside unattended and I do have cameras covering my back yard. My goal is to be best friends with every one of them I meet!💜

Safety, trust & environment

At home, I have a fenced in yard. Half of the fence is a brick wall and the other parts were just rebuilt and are very secure. I do kennel for meals because it isn’t worth the risk of anyone getting cranky over food. I also section off areas of the house at times according to size/energy levels. We also do kennel when nobody is home. That is typically only a couple of hours but it is for everyone’s safety. I keep 48” kennels so no need to bring one! Every bowl, blanket and kennel will be sanitized between uses. Plenty of toys and bones to go around! I do ask that you get your pup use to a kennel (if not already) a few days prior to us keeping him/her. If we have a baby who isn’t okay with being in a kennel and doesn’t like it (barks, tries busting the door down, etc.) it ruffles everyone’s feathers and we just want to be sure everyone is comfortable. We do have a blast! It is always a dog pawty over here and we have ALL the fun! It is a 24/7 dog park at my home and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Everyone goes out to play/potty at least 3 times a day but usually more than that. At your home- I will follow instructions you give and add a few extra kisses to the agenda. I like to spend good time with pets at their home because that’s what I ask people to do with mine when I am gone. I HATE leaving my animals to go out of town so I will do everything just as I would want done for my babies. If they enjoy walks, we will walk! Anything to keep their spirits up while they are missing their humans.

Information Stephanie P. would like to know about your pet

I do need every dog to feel comfortable in a kennel for meals and for a couple of hours at a time. For everyone’s safety, nobody is left roaming while no humans are home and I do meals in a kennel (also for everyone’s safety) If I am boarding your dog(s) at my home, I will need a copy of up-to-date vaccination records. If your dog has any medical conditions or any special needs, I will need to know ahead of time so that I can be sure I have what is necessary to accommodate.

A typical day

Although my home is fun enough for any dog, I will absolutely take them for a walk if I feel they aren’t getting enough exercise in my yard or at your request. I also have a couple of “pup swimming pools” for those who enjoy soaking up some sun while laying in some cool water. Afterwards, maybe a pupsicle?! Who doesn’t enjoy snuggling and watching some tv together?! That is how me and my crew end the night✨ we would love to have your baby join us!

Pets

Passionate dog mom & rescuer 💜

Pet care experience

I have been in rescue for ten years. I take rescues into my home or place them with a foster. I started doing this years ago because of my passion for animals. I have nursed dogs of all sizes, ages and breeds back to good health. I have handled them all personally- from cutting them off of a chain to snuggles at home. I am doing this because it is what I love.. it is my heart. Pup-sitting gives me the opportunity to care for your babies while helping to support my rescue… and together, we make a difference.

I can’t thank/recommend Stephanie enough. I got married this weekend and she drove my dogs over an hour out and back so they could be in our wedding. She is truly incredible!

Always a pleasure to let her keep my baby. She is awsome and always takes good care of him.

I was very pleased with Stephanie's taking care of Semba. She put me at ease very quickly with her kind and professional way with Semba, I think Semba enjoyed her stay.
