Your Pup’s Home Away From Home 🐾
Hi there! I’m Stephanie — a lifelong animal lover who truly believes pets are family, and that’s exactly how I care for them. I grew up with both cats and dogs and have always treated them like my kids. I share my home with my 13-year-old red heeler, Sadie, who is the center of my world. She recently went blind, which has made me even more patient, attentive, and experienced with senior pets and pups who need a little extra love. She’s friendly with new dogs—just likes a calm, gentle introduction. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended stays, my goal is simple: your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease while you’re away. I’m big on routines, happy to follow feeding schedules, meds, training cues, and all the little quirks that make your pet your pet. Your pup will enjoy lots of walks, playtime, and snuggles—whether that’s in my big fenced-in yard, at the park across the street, or on the couch for a Netflix cuddle session. I’m trustworthy, reliable, flexible with pickup and drop-off times, and big on communication—so expect plenty of updates and photos. From energetic puppies to senior sweethearts, I care for every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby—let’s make their time with me feel like home 🐾

Ratings and reviews
Stephanie took great care of my sweet Tulip while I was away on a work trip. Tulip came nervous and unsure but quickly felt at home with Stephanie and her family. Cuddling with the kiddos and taking a liking to Stephanie's husband. It put at ease knowing Tulip was in loving care.
Stephanie was exceedingly easy to work with and friendly. Their home is not chaotic or cluttered, providing a safe space for my dog Millie. Millie had a blast enjoying the backyard with the kiddos and Stephanie sent pics that showed that in spades. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
Stephanie and her family were wonderful with Jorah! It was very clear that he was loved and doted on; from the pictures to the daily updates, we knew our fur baby was in good hands. 🙂 We would love to have Jorah stay there again in the future and would 100% recommend their lovely home to others!
Callie always has a great time with Stephanie and her family! We got cute daily updates and Callie became great friends with her kiddos and pups. Would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a caring home for their pup when traveling.
Stephanie and her wonderful family made a happy home for our Izzy for several days when I had an unexpected health issue. It was so nice to know Izzy was in good hands, getting her meds and special food, exercise in their big yard, and lots of love from the whole family, including their sweet dog. Stephanie is highly recommended!
So thankful to Stephanie and her family for always taking such good care of our pup while we are away!

Schedule
I currently work outside of the home during the weekdays, but I’m home in the evenings and on weekends to spend plenty of quality time with your pup. My husband, Bobby, works from home during the week and is always around to keep an eye on things, make sure everyone is comfortable, and provide lots of love and attention throughout the day. When the weather is nice, we love getting outside for walks to the park or playing in the backyard, so your dog will have plenty of chances to stretch their legs, play, and soak up some fresh air. With both of us involved, your pup will never be short on care, supervision, or affection.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pup’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. We have a large fenced-in yard for safe play and exercise, and your dog will have a gentle companion in our sweet, blind red heeler, Sadie. If needed, we can use baby gates or dog kennels to keep dogs separated when we’re not actively supervising, ensuring every pup feels secure and relaxed. Our home is a calm, loving environment designed to make your dog feel happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day with us is full of love, play, and plenty of attention! Your pup will enjoy our large fenced-in yard, perfect for fetch, chasing squirrels, or soaking up the sun. We also love heading to the park across the street for walks, exploring, and extra playtime. Our kids are animal lovers too and are always excited to help—whether it’s feeding, playing, or giving treats. With the whole family involved, your dog will get lots of love, attention, and fun from start to finish!

- I’d love to meet you and your dog before booking to make sure we’re a great fit. All dogs must be potty trained and fairly calm, as we have two toddlers at home. For safety and comfort, I’m unable to accept high-energy dogs who jump excessively or bark a lot. Please let me know ahead of time if your pup requires any special care, medication, or has any unique needs. This helps me ensure they get the best care and a safe, happy experience while they’re with us.
