Information Stephanie R. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs I need to know, let me know. The only special needs dog I’ve dealt with is a puppy we’ve been fostering and survived distemper. I’ve learned a lot when it has come to taking care of our foster dog. I enjoy learning and would love to help you and your dog in any way that will make our time sail smoothly together.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on long walks not only because it’s therapeutic for me, but I know it’s therapeutic for them too. I will play with your dog whether it’s in your backyard or at a park and play some fetch or jog around the park together. Any toys you may have I’ll will use those with your dogs and of course have to have those doggy treats too.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs, cats and even guinea pigs! I have 5 pets of my own and I'm always the one looking for the next supplement to give to them in order to extend their lives just a tad longer. Your pets will be in trustworthy hands -- I'll be treating your pet as they are my own and give them tons of love and cuddles, plus some play time. I've also fostered pets and that's a major responsibility to handle -- trying to save a life one day at a time. That's how much I love animals.

Stephanie took my puppy, Atlas, in last minute for nearly a little shy of 3 weeks and she made me feel safe and secure by day one! She sent picture everyday and was so so easy to get in touch with. Incredibly kind and 100% would board again. Can’t recommend enough!!

She was very kind and listened to my dog’s issues. She accommodated my dog’s separation anxiety without me with soothing anxiety music. She was patient with him and sent me updates with pics with her cats and dogs. I recommend her and will book with her again. She has a reasonable price that I could afford which is a big plus.
