WFH & lots of walks ❤️

I have two energetic pups who are my entire world! I am experienced in training puppies as I raised a GSD and Golden Retriever. Growing up my family, friends, and neighbors had dogs of all different temperament's and sizes. I feel extremely comfortable handling all breeds of dogs. I'm capable of bathing, providing medication, and exercising your pup as I enjoy running, hiking, and walking! 🌲🥾🏃‍♀️🌊 I am an engineer and work east coast hours so I am an early riser! Feel free to drop your dogs off early in the morning so you can get some fresh tracks. ⛷️I love long walks in the morning and evening. I also enjoy running and hiking and would love to bring your pups along for the ride. If you have a pup that doesn’t get along with other animals I do have a mother in law suite that I can host them in. They would still get frequent attention, exercise, and love, but in a safe comfortable space separated from my two pups.

Stephanie did a great job taking care of my dog Kobe for 3 days. She checked in with me multiple times per day to share photos and updates on how Kobe was doing. Another thing I appreciate was that Stephanie proactively took Kobe, who is very active, on a 3.5 mile walk on the 2nd day of his stay. I felt at ease knowing my dog was having a good time and getting exercise.

Stephanie is a lifesaver! We booked super last minute same day. She constantly updated us and sent photos. Definitely can tell that Goody was spoiled with a lot of love and also played with new friends. We will have Stephanie watch Goody again the next time we visit Tahoe.

Stephanie was awesome. We got text updates throughout the day so we had peace of mind that our little guys was ok. I would definitely book with her again.

Stephanie was great! Would definitely book again. We have a very stubborn beagle and Stephanie was successfully able to lure her out of the house for her potty break. Thanks again!

Stephanie is amazing! We've left our now 2-year old lab with her a few times now, and we will definitely continue to reach out to her whenever we need a dog sitter. She is professional but warm, and we feel comfortable knowing Rubi is well cared for while we're away. Stephanie is very responsive, and communication is great - she always sends photos of Rubi while we're gone, and Rubi always looks super happy.

Schedule

I work from home full-time so I have plenty of time to play and care for the pups that I’m sitting! I am a pretty active person so I love taking my pups on walks/adventures around Tahoe.

Safety, trust & environment

I have two pups who not only bring joy to my life but also keep me active and engaged. To cater to their needs, I’ve created a pet-friendly environment that includes a fenced-in backyard. This allows my dogs to roam freely, explore, and play in a safe and secure place. I’m also home full time and can be flexible with your schedule to accommodate to you and your dogs needs. If you have a pup that doesn’t get along with other animals I do have a mother in law suite that I can host them in. They would still get frequent attention, exercise, and love, but in a safe comfortable space separated from my two pups.

Pets

A typical day

I'm an active person and my pups are too! I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on long walks around the neighborhood, running, and hiking with my pups. I also provide mental stimulation for my pups and those what I watch with puzzles and enrichment toys.

It's important to know what your dogs triggers are (i.e., dislikes vacuums), how they communicate (are they silent when they need to use the restroom or do they typically ring a bell), if there are any dietary restrictions, and how they behave with other animals.
