Stephanie's Home Away From Home

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Stephanie and I work from home as a Clinical Social Worker. I promise to not preform therapy on your pets during their visit(: I have my cat, Luther, who is about 11 years old now. She is the light of my life and I love her very dearly. I have another cat, Rosenberger, who is about 3 years old and was rescued from a junk year. He has added so much fun and love to our lives and is a huge reason my partner and I made it through COVID so gracefully. My partner Devin and I have been together for 5 years and recently bought a home in Commerce Township. We fell in love with this home for many reasons, including the big fenced in back yard that we have. We are looking forward to one day having dogs of our own, and until then we are happy to watch yours! Devin and I have had family dogs throughout our childhood and into our adulthood. With this we are very experienced with watching our family dogs as well as friends who have dogs and cats. When your pup stays with us you should expect a good amount of walking around the neighborhood giving them the exercise and the fresh air that they need. They can spend time in the back yard with me as I complete notes and play fetch, if they're into that! If the weather is bad, they will have a comfortable amount of space in my home and access to my back yard. Restrictions: I would qualify myself as a somewhat active and social person, so I may have limited availability on weekends and during holidays. With this being said, I am very flexible with scheduling and can usually move things around in my life to make our schedules work together. I'm a very open book, and I believe communication and honesty are important especially when I have the responsibility of taking care of your pet. So to any question or concern you have I will respond honestly and do my best to make this work and have both of us as happy as possible!

Stephanie was awesome. We had her handle our pup-baby for an evening & she did fabulous job. Also before the actual date of meeting she arranged a meet-n-greet where she diligently showed us the backyard & the dog-sitting environment indoor. She was courteous, diligent & professional. Overall we are very happy with her service. I will definitely recommend her.

Stephanie was an excellent host for my dog! she responded e-mails and texts quickly and was very flexible with drop off/pickup times. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie's Dog sitting to anyone in the area.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in back yard, however one section (about 4 ft in length) Is incomplete. There is fencing there, however it is not as tall as the the other sections. This happened before we moved in and have not had the time to fix it just yet. We have had friends bring their dogs over and none of them have noticed the difference in fencing, but no puppo would be unsupervised while out in the yard.

Information Stephanie L. would like to know about your pet

Please communicate with me about specific pet needs and please let me know if there is any history of not getting along with cats. I have two kitties, and I would be devastated if either of our pets had an incident. We can always work out a meet-and-greet ahead of time to see how things go too! Also, please let me know if you pet has a history of eating plants because I have many indoor plants.

A typical day

A typical day would be pretty lowkey, involving some breakfast and a nice walk around the neighborhood to start the day. Once that is complete we will play if the puppo is up for it, otherwise I would be getting ready for my day and my appointments. Around lunch time we will go for another walk around the neighborhood and spend some time outside playing fetch in the yard. Perhaps some treats if they're being awesome! When dinner time rolls around, my partner will be getting home from work and he will shower and we will make dinner together. After dinner we will give your pet their final walk of the evening and we will all wind down with a movie or game before we go to bed.

Availability

I work from home and conduct therapy from my home office. I will likely leave my door open to hear if your pet needs something, or if they are naturally empathic they can come on in and sit with me during my appointments. I usually have hour breaks in between sessions and we will break for a walk or some outside time in the back yard. I don't often set my appointments up back to back, but if I did it would not be longer than 2 hours before your pet can get outside time. Weekends are more open, so it may look the same or they may go on a field trip to a near by walking trail with my partner and I. If your pet is more chill and likes to relax more than being outside than you're in luck! I love relaxing on a sofa and watching movies while giving lots of pets and snuggles!
