Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsitively the Best sitter
I truly treat every dog like family — I even call my friends’ and clients’ pups my “nieces and nephews.” Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of breeds, including golden retrievers, pugs, shibas, and shih tzus, each with their own unique personalities and needs. One thing I’m especially proud of is helping shy or anxious dogs feel more confident. With patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pups who need a little extra love and reassurance. I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and adored. Whether it’s giving treats, playing in the park, keeping them engaged with fun activities, or tucking them in for the coziest nap — I make their time with me feel like a home-away-from-home.

Ratings and reviews
We had a great first experience with Stephanie! Everything went smoothly and we appreciated Stephanie’s calm demeanor and easy going personality. We’ll definitely use Stephanie again! Muffin seemed comfortable and happy with her!
Stephanie was wonderful! She was so patient with my very fearful dog. She also communicates well and kept me updated on how my dog was doing. Highly recommend!
Stephanie was wonderful with our fur babies! She was prompt with her communication, when I would send her a text checking on our dogs. She would send us updates as well as pictures. I didn’t think they would want to come home! I would highly recommend her she was amazing!
Took a chance on Stephanie to dog-sit for me and did not regret it one bit! I came back home to a happy dog with no issues. Would trust again to dog-sit
Stephanie is wonderful and cares so much for dogs. Every time she watches my dog peanut I feel so at ease knowing she treats her as if she's her own. I trust her so much. She always approaches every dog I see with upmost kindness, happiness, and energy! Any person that needs a someone to board, watch, or care for their good boy and/or girl would not go wrong picking Stephanie. I am fur-real when I say Stephanie's paw-sitivity and experience with pets makes my life less Ruff! :D
Stephanie offered to take care of my german shepherd mix, Cole, when i went out of town for a weekend. She was very precise and made sure that his schedule remained the same even if in a different setting. She sent me daily updates along with pictures so it felt like i was with them even if i wasn’t. Cole got along with her really well! She’ll probably be the first person i ask if he needs to be watched again!!

Schedule
We’re able to provide 24/7 care, which is something we’re really proud of. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and even on the days I go into the office, I always come home at lunch to check in. My fiancé works from home full-time, so there’s always someone here to give your pup attention, comfort, and company. Caring for pets is a natural, happy part of our everyday life.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I always stay close to the pets I’m caring for so I can quickly respond to their needs and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I pay attention to their body language, and if a pet seems unsure or unhappy, I take the time to understand what they need and help them feel at ease. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all house rules and routines exactly as instructed. I’m very respectful of both the home and the pet’s normal schedule, so everything feels familiar and stress-free for them.
A typical day
I love making each pet’s time with me special. I have a Fujifilm camera, so I enjoy taking cute portraits of your furry family members — little memories you can keep forever. I also take pups to the park for playtime, fetch, and fresh air. If the owner approves, I love bringing them along for relaxing strolls at nearby outdoor shopping areas so they can enjoy new sights, smells, and a fun change of scenery. My goal is to make sure they’re happy, engaged, and having the best time while you’re away.
