Fun Pet Boarding, Daycare, Training

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’ve been working with animals since I was pretty young. I have experience working at animal shelters, rescues, hospitals, and specialty/emergency clinics. I currently am a veterinary technician. I do have 2 dogs and 2 cats. They are very friendly and are used to having new friends around to play with. I accept all breeds/temperaments/ages of dogs and cats. If you have any questions or concerns we are more than happy to work with you! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!!! I like to take my dogs out in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I like to also take them out for walks at least once or twice a day. I usually follow the same schedule for the dogs I watch unless something different is requested. Please let me know what your normal routine is so I can make sure your dog is as comfortable as possible :) Please provide me with your schedule so I can follow it as closely as possible!

Stephanie is always a joy! Our dog has a great time and comes back happy. We had her dog sit for about a week and received photos every few days with updates. Highly recommend!

Stephanie was amazing when watching our dog over New Year’s Eve! They were very accommodating when our schedule times changed and gave our dog lots and lots of love! Fast and easy communication. Highly recommend

We did not have a good experience with Stephanie. We dropped off our dog around 7:30 in the morning and had to ask for an update. We finally got one 12 hours after drop off and it was very short and a bit concerning. The next day we once again had to request an update in the evening as well as photos and it took her three hours to respond. When we went to pick up our dog Stephanie wasn’t there. Our dog was super thirsty as if she didn’t have access to water for many hours and her leash smelled like pee. We are not sure but it seemed like she was being left alone in a small room for hours on end. We even asked them to give our dog calming treats every 6 hours and when we picked her up at 6:00pm she hadn’t had any since that morning. Our dog visibly hurt her eyelid while in Stephanie’s care as well and Stephanie had no idea. We will not be using them again.

Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet

PLEASE let me know if your baby has separation anxiety on a scale of 1-5. Do not wait until you drop your pet off with me to let me know. If I know beforehand I can better prepare and make your pet as comfortable here as possible! Let me know if your animal has any special needs or behavioral issues. I try my best to work with any animal! I have experience with all temperaments.

A typical day

I will take the dogs on long walks if weather permits! Ialso set out a kiddie pool for the dogs during the summer because we know it gets hot and dogs LOVE splashing around to cool off.
