The Animal Whisperers Dog Park

Pet care experience

MEDICAL AND LIVESTOCK BACKGROUND: I am an alumni of the university of Rhode Island where I received a bachelors degree in animal sciences and technology, participating in the pre veterinary program. I also hold a certification in pet nutrition- among experience between shelters and rescues, I've spent time on a working farm handling, treating and caring for all animals. I can help with everything from daily visits in your own home to overnight care. I handle all companion and small animals, exotics and livestock. Sitting on over an acre of land, with a fenced in individual play yard, that even contains bottom rails to ensure safety for even the biggest escape artists, our home is open to your furry babe or the family. Every entrance in my home is also on a , DOUBLE- DOOR system. I have successfully been running a mobile canine daycare and socialization business now for over 5 years, have a wonderful regular full time “play pack” and have room for a few more. Puppies are encouraged! Socialization is great both mentally and physically for the growing and developing puppy. I offer two types of puppy programs- “the headstart” for the pet parents and the actual puppy program for dogs under 4 1/2 months. Please reach out to see our set-up, and see if it’s your perfect getaway! I DO NOT BREED DISCRIMINATE!!! ALL FRIENDLY AND UTD VX DOGS ARE ALLOWED! Raw diet feeding accepted as well! Extensive experience with bully and large breeds* I handle farm animals and farm visits including all livestock (horses, cows, goats, sheep, chickens, alpacas etc.) both small and large exotics. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur babe!

Stephanie was very responsive and flexible. Accepted our dog on short notice and took great care of her. Would definitely use her again.

Stephanie has taken care of our dog Murphy on two occasions and both times have been positive. You can tell how happy he is to be there and how he is well cared for. It gives us great piece of mind when we are away.

Information Stephanie P. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies, behavioral issues, medical issues, etc. I appreciate honesty! I am not your regular person, I understand these animals for what they are. If it is a situation I am uncomfortable with I will always be upfront and honest as well. You allowing me to really know your dog, gives me the best opportunity in taking care of them!

A typical day

Every animal is different, just like every single human being is unique. If they prefer to run around outside with another dog companion, or they would rather stay in and chew on a bone, I’m flexible
