Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving dog home!
Welcoming dogs in our home is not a job, it's pure passion! I've been a dog-lover my entire life. In my 20's, I volunteered at the Dumb Friend's League (Humane Colorado) and adopted 2 dogs during that experience. I've adopted 5 dogs over the past 25 years and I've personally trained them all. I'm the person friends and family contact for dog care when they're leaving town. A house is not a home without dogs!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Stephanie and her family go above and beyond each time our dog, Winston, stays with them! Our boy can be a bit of a picky eater and she is constantly trying to find ways to get him to eat more so he stays well energized and nourished while we are gone. Truly cannot recommend her care enough!!
Stephanie pampered my dog, he was so nervous, she sent lots of pic and updates, communication was excellent
Fantastic! Stephanie loved my puppy and gave him a safe space to play, eat, and sleep. She is excellent with multiple dogs at once. I appreciate that she is there all the time watching the dogs. She communicates so well. She is organized and makes it easy to drop off and pick up. My puppy wags his tail every time he sees her and is so happy to go with her. She loves what she does and I love having her with my little guy. I recommend Stephanie.
This was Lucy's second stay with Stephanie. We received frequent and detailed updates as well as photos and videos. We will continue boarding Lucy with Stephanie in the future.
Odin had so much fun and I felt assured that he was getting great care with all the pictures and good communication!
Stephanie is the best. She keeps my dog active throughout her stay and she is always having the best time! I know I can trust Stephanie to give my dog all the love when I have to be away.

Schedule
After 17 years, I just closed a youth-based nonprofit that I founded. Through Rover, I am fulfilling my passion for pups! We treat our canine guests the way we'd want our dog to be treated. This means we do not leave the dogs unsupervised AT ANY TIME. Between my husband and I, one of us is always home. If we both need to be somewhere, we call in reinforcements (usually our adult children). We want our guests to have a fun, sleep-away camp type of adventure, so we are very active and playful, making sure to also build in down time so they aren't exhausted. You can expect to receive updates with pictures and/or videos 2-3 times per day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a spacious home where dogs of all sizes are welcome. Our large yard has a 5-foot high fence and shady areas. We live on a corner lot where dogs can watch the world go by through the fence. Pretzel, our 85-pound, gentle giant, LOVES dogs of all sizes. He is mellow overall, but will wrestle with big dogs who enjoy that type of play. With small, even teeny tiny dogs he likes to play chase or just hang out. He adapts quickly to the personalities and sizes of our dog guests. The dogs can go in and out through the dog door, however, new friends will not be left outside unsupervised until I'm 100% sure that the pups are thriving with one another and that they're not eating rocks, sticks, plants, etc. Small dogs will NEVER be left outside without supervision. I have experience giving dogs injections and medications. Our guests are welcome to sleep anywhere they'd like in our home.
Pets
A typical day
We will play whatever your dog enjoys, pet them to their heart's content, snuggle on the couch if that's their happy place, walk them, play fetch and tug and do whatever makes them feel loved, comforted and safe. Our neighborhood is a dog utopia. There are miles of open space trails and creeks that we typically walk 1-2 times a day.

- Let me know if your dog is anxious in new environments, what their preferred activities are, if they have any dietary or behavior issues (excessive barking, food or toy aggression, etc.) and how they may respond to being with other dog-friendly pups.
