Will spoil your pets with love!

Pet care experience

Ive been surrounded by dogs and cats ever since I was a child, whether it be my own or from friends, neighbors, family members exc there’s always been one present filling the room with joy, comfort, and gratitude. Friends and Family have always trusted me with their pets, Ive always respected their boundaries and rules, kept them entertained and happy and gave constant updates to the owners just so they didn’t have a constant worry about whether they were safe or not. Dogs to me, or any pet for the matter, are like family, you protect and you treat them like one of your own, my love for them goes above and beyond, and id love to think their safest place is with me.

Stephanie was wonderful! She took great care of our older pup (who has lots of medical needs) and our 8 month old puppy (who has lots of energy and attention needs). They loved her and we knew our pups and house were in good hands.

Stephanie was great. I have two older dogs who need a little care and they just love her. She’s kind, communicates well and takes great care of our dogs and house!

Stephanie is reliable, thorough, and calm. She administered meds successfully and my dog seemed happy when we returned.

Stephanie was great! She was very communicative and loving toward our pup and handled his medications with ease. We would definitely recommend her to watch your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very respectful and attentive to how the owner treats and interacts with their pet, I respect their privacy and space and keep my eye on their babies as much as I possibly can. If there are specific orders I follow and ask permission for anything they might have not mentioned. Due to me pet sitting full time, your pet will never be left alone, I also am open to sleeping on the same bed with them if preferred, anything that will make them feel the most comfortable is fine with me, cuddling is my favorite part after all. That being said, if your furbaby doesn’t like being touched too much or a cuddling session, I by all means respect that, having been a dog owner since I was in literal diapers Ive come to notice when a dog isn’t fond of something im doing and it comes to an immediate stop.

Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dogs have any sign of aggression towards strangers or other dogs, I personally prefer dog friendly dogs ( IF a daily walk is required!) :) and ones who don’t cause any problems with any walking pedestrians. As i’ve mentioned before I will be with them full time but if on a rare occasion I must go out, please let me know if they have separation anxiety, I would never want to cause any form of stress on your pet.

A typical day

i love making sure your dogs never get bored, playing games with them and daily walks is a must, but of course if they want to rest im not stopping them. Their happiness comes first.

Right now the plan is overnight care, I find that pets are usually happier in their own homes, especially if the stay is for a long period of time. If walks are needed, they’d be used to their surroundings and have no trouble adapting, I love when dogs feel safe and secure.
