Pet care experience

Your dogs favorite sitter :)

In a room full of people, I would be the person who goes straight to the dog! I have always been a big dog lover and become easily attached to furry friends. I truly believe animals can sense my affectionate personality. I have grown up with 2 rescues: a spunky toy Yorkie named Chico and a loving Maltipoo named Shaggy who has passed now. I missed that constant joy so much that I got a puppy in August 2020! I still have so much love to give that I will love on your dogs as if they were my own ❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As for our home, we live in a 3 tier home with plenty of stairs & 3 beds to choose from. Our yard is unfenced but we have leashes in the ground & often get our little chihuahua neighbor who waits at the door to play. Plus we have a neighborhood fenced dog park right behind us where they run free! Carmelo is a loving & calm mannered 5yr old Mini Goldendoodle. After getting his initial human excitement wiggles out the way, he truly is a calm dog & the biggest baby. He’s gentle with the smallest of dogs, but kind of a whimp when it comes to bigger ones. Auggie is the energetic 3 yr old and can run circles around your dog to keep them tired lol He loves to play tug and race around the house.

Stephanie did such an excellent job with Watson! We received pictures and updates while we were gone. I would use her again in the future. Thank you!

Doggy Day Care • Mar 05, 2026

Stephanie was a phenomenal host. My dog came home restful, relaxed, and happy. She is easy to work with and communicate with, she is always on time, and she sent me some very cute pictures of my dog during the day, which put my mind at ease. I would highly recommend her, and I would trust her with my little dog any time.

Stephanie did an amazing job with our dog Simeon. She was always there and left the house just like it was when she arrived. We will definitely be calling on her again when we need someone to drop in on Simeon.

Stephanie was awesome! She stayed with my two dogs for the weekend. She made sure my older dog got all his medicine on time and sent me tons of updates and pictures of my fur babies. I never once was concerned they weren't being taken care of. My home was clean when I got home as well. I will definitely use her again!
