Pet care experience

Quality care with no worries.

I have trained, watched, worked with, handled, and loved on every temperament of pet from lovable couch potatoes, anxiety ridden, hospice care, and animals that do not do well with other people or animals for over 20 years. Through those years I have worked with rescues, dog shows, dog sports, and training and raising puppies and adults that have helped me to become an extremely understanding, patient, and proficient behaviorist and trainer I am to this day. Anything from walks, training, medical needs, behavioral needs, bathing, or just simple understanding is my expertise with animals, primarily dogs.

Stephanie took great care of Starbuck while we were on vacation! Bunches of pictures and didn't have to worry at all.

We have a cat with special needs, which makes going out of town stressful. We are so grateful for Stephanie and her partner for the care they provided. They were professional, attentive, good communicators, and our cats obviously adored them. We would absolutely book them again.

Schedule

I do have a full time job, however animal care is a top priority. I also have a partner (who is also verified on rover and a former veterinarian technician) that lives with me, which leaves me able to board, train, doggy daycare, or any need a family might need while seeking a pet sitter for their beloved pet/s.

Safety, trust & environment

If your pet/s is boarding at my home, I have a fenced in yard with multiple types of animals that are all very well behaved and trained. I have a separate space in my kitchen for your pet/s or I do crate dogs at night time and place cats in a separate, closed area at night for your pet/s comfortability in a new environment. If I care for your pet/s at their home, they will have the comfort and safety of their regular routine at their home while you have the peace of mind that not only are your pet/s taken care of but so is your home while away. Following medical need instructions and able to administer any meds will be adhered to in the utmost manner. Whether your pet/s are at my home or yours for overnights, day time drop ins, or daytime doggy daycare they are treated with the highest level of patience and respect. Pet/s will also have numerous potty breaks, multiple walks if they need, and some good ol fashion playtime and love.

Pets

A typical day

For low energy or senior pets their activities would be lots of love, sleep, and comfy places to lay if they are boarding with myself. Medium to high energy pets always benefit from physical and mental stimulation to help for training purposes and just simply to positively tire them out. If your dog is a water baby, I can take (with permission of course) your pet to a park that allows dogs in the water for some lake fun.
