Pet care experience
"Dogs may not be our whole lives, but they make our lives whole." Seriously, my heart is 90% dog and 10% other stuff. My apartment is spacious for the dogs to run around, and as a bonus we have a decent sized, fenced yard. Working with pets, especially dogs, makes me incredibly happy. I love the different personalities and how sweet they can be (and also how mischievous and goofy they are!) I can guarantee that you'll receive a daily update, as well as a few pictures. And I promise that your dog will feel right at home from the moment they join us. Ozzy LOVES having friends over :) Your dog will enjoy snuggles with me and Ozzy, plus my roommates who also love the pups. They'll be so happy you chose us <3
Reviews
Stephanie was really great with Baloo and kept me updated with pictures of his stay while I was gone. She was very accommodating with us when our flight was cancelled and we had to stay another night. Baloo was well cared for and had a great time! We are so grateful for Stephanie's care and dedication!
Stephanie and her pup took great care of Baloo while my boyfriend and I flew home for a long wedding weekend. She kept me updated but not overwhelmed with posts and pictures of the pups playing, snoozing, and being overall precious. She was very understanding and didn't skip a beat when I texted her to say that we'd missed our flight and wouldn't be able to get back until the next day. She kept Baloo another night with zero complaints and he seemed well cared for and in great spirits when I picked him up. She seems to generally love being around and taking care of dogs and it shows. 10/10 will book Stephanie and Ozzy again!!
Due to some unforeseen circumstances, I needed a dog sitter at the last minute. Stephanie was very responsive and arranged a meet and greet with her dog right away. She was really warm and immediately made us feel comfortable. During our trip, she messaged us each night to let us know how everything went and keep us up to date. Seems like Paca had a great time. Very flexible and obviously loves, loves dogs. Two paws up :)
Otis was very content and happy staying with Stephanie and Ozzy. Otis can be anxious and she calmed him quickly. She is definitely a dog-lover.

Information Stephanie Y. would like to know about your pet
I LOVE LOVE LOVE pitbull type dogs - please send them all my way for all of the love. Ozzy loves everyone, so all dogs are welcome. I'd love to know vet information, and any medication needs before a sitting. Otherwise, whatever you feel is necessary.
A typical day
In a typical day, we will wake up and Ozzy will snuggle and roll around with me and your dog. After stretching, we will head out for our morning walk around the neighborhood - plenty of smells and new friends to meet! I am a dog walker, so after our walk I will need to leave for a little while. Your dog will have Ozzy to play with throughout the day, and they'll be in a room that is safe from harm. During the warm months, they'll enjoy the AC, too. When I'm done with my walks, I'll make sure all the dogs get plenty of snuggles before our afternoon walk. This one may end up being a romp around the back yard so they can get in some running. The rest of the afternoon/evening is up to the pups! We could go to the beach, or just get in some snuggles. Ozzy would love to start a game of tug and wrestling if your dog is into it (if not, he will literally just keep snuggling). Your dog will be pretty sure they're on vacation, too.
