The Happy Place for Dogs
Easy-going family LOVES dogs and would love to give your dear dog a happy place to stay while you're away. We only take one booking at a time! We have a large fenced-in yard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood. Dog care is our passion, and we look forward to playing with and snuggling with your pet. We do request that your dog be easy-going, house-trained, and good with children. We will accommodate your requests; quirky dogs are loved here! We welcome your dog into our home and give him or her the run of the house and yard. We can't accommodate dogs that are fearful or aggressive. We have a lot of repeat customers and we require a meet and greet before we can book your dog's stay. For this reason, please contact us as soon as possible, and confirm your stay as soon as you can. We only take dogs from one family at a time and we tend to continually have guests—which we love and is great!—so don't hesitate to get in touch. Why I love dog sitting I was attacked by a pack of wild dogs at the age of 4, when my family was living in Central America. I retained an unreasonable fear of dogs my entire life—until my children insisted upon getting a dog. I then read every book I could get my hands on. Surprisingly, Jean Craighead George's "Julie of the Wolves" was the most helpful, as I realized that it's possible to "read" dogs and understand them from their body language. And the Monks of New Skeet's classic, "The Art of Raising a Puppy," was invaluable. Using their puppy test, we chose an extremely agreeable puppy who was nothing but a joy to us. Although I was at first afraid to be left alone with her, I chose to do all her grooming and all her training. And now, I am delighted to say that I am on the far other side of the spectrum: I am crazy about dogs, all dogs, and I am the most happy when I am around dogs. I am a calm, confident person and dogs love me. Meet my pets Our dog, Fleurie, is a rescue. She's a small bundle who brings a lot of joy into our lives. She is friendly after she gets to know people. About my yard We have a large, fenced back yard. My experience administering medication Orally, yes. We are home almost all the time. We will follow your directions on what your dog prefers. We are attentive, detail-oriented, and safety-minded. We have a fenced yard and screened porches, which add an extra layer of protection for dog safety. We love the company of dogs and will be with your dog in the house.

Ratings and reviews
Dixie was happy and well taken care of as usual. Stephanie is great at giving her love and sending updates.
Stephanie was great about sending updates while she watched Violet, including photos and videos. Would definitely recommend and she will be on our regular list if we need to leave our girl again.
Stephanie is fantastic. She keeps you updated daily with videos and pictures. It is clear that she loves the dogs. She figured our boys personalities and gave them the attention they needed.
Stephanie was awesome!! We had to go out of town for the holidays at short notice and we could take our dog. Ge did great at Stephanie's. She has a big fenced in yard that he absolutely loved! Pics and videos daily to show that he was doing great.
Stephanie was great with my pups! She sent videos and pictures and my dogs were very happy to be there. Great yard for them to play in!
Stephanie is amazing with dogs! I am very particular who I leave my dog with because he is quirky, basically deaf old man but she loved on him and made him feel welcome immediately. She has a great backyard easily accessible for the dogs and my dog loved sunbathing out there. She takes lots of pictures and videos and was flexible with my travel plans changing last minute. Highly recommend!

A typical day
Your dog's sleeping arrangement Our guest dogs sleep where they are comfortable. Sometimes their owners bring a bed for them (clean beds only, please); sometimes they sleep on a sofa or comfy chair. Time I'll spend with your dog Ensuring your dog's comfort and safety is our top priority. Someone is always at home.
