Availability

Your furry friend will often catch me cooking in the kitchen or tidying up around the house. During the summer days I like to take them on a hike, long walking trails, and just chill on the balcony to sun bathe. During the winter months I let them play in the snow, go on long walking trails, and chill on the couch watching a movie or reading a book.

Information Stephanie P. would like to know about your pet

How would you describe your fur baby? Do they have a schedule? How many times do they eat a day, if kibble-how many scoops? Are they on medication?

A typical day

Might bring your pup with me on a car ride to run errands depending on the weather and store. Play tug of war, relax on the couch, give him/her lots of love and pets, train new tricks, with permission-bring your dog to the beach.

Pet care experience

I have a deep passion for animals, which ultimately led me to turn that love into a career! I previously worked as a K-9 Handler for a major security company in NYC, where I formed a special bond with my K-9 partner, Tribute (the black lab featured in my profile picture). Being around dogs is just a blessing. They either learn from you, or you learn from them. Either or, you'll find yourself with more patience and empathy. As a veteran who left the service in 2022, I’m on a journey to discover my new purpose in life. Currently, I work part-time per diem as a Substitute Teacher and serve as a volleyball coach between August-October. Additionally, I offer pickup and drop-off services for those in need. I am currently boarding 2 dogs at a time, I want to make sure each dog's needs are catered to.

This was Stephanie’s second time watching our German Shepherd and she was amazing. Our dog was having stomach issues, and she went above and beyond taking care of him.
