Highlights
Pet care experience
Julington Lakes Premier Dog Care
Life-long dog lovers, my wife and I have each had dogs throughout our lives, and caring for them has always been a big part of who we are. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after 14 wonderful years, and while we're not quite ready to add another permanent member to our family with two young children, we have plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs to share with yours! Our home is a safe, family-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like one of our own. Whether we're providing overnight boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, or walks, we'll make sure your pup feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. We understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so we'll take the time to learn what makes them happiest—from energetic play sessions to leisurely walks or simply relaxing. As pet owners ourselves, we know how important it is to find someone you can trust. We'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your dog's stay so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a fun, safe, and loving experience while giving you complete peace of mind.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I highly recommend Stephen as a Rover sitter! Stephen is an incredibly responsible, dependable, and accountable person who genuinely loves dogs. He is caring, attentive, and takes his commitments seriously. He communicates extremely well and can be trusted to provide the same level of care and attention to someone’s pet as he would his own. Stephen’s genuine passion for dogs really shines through, and I have no doubt that any dog in his care would be in great hands. I would wholeheartedly recommend Stephen for any dog-sitting, dog-walking, or pet-care needs!

Schedule
My wife and I have flexible schedules, and at least one of us works from home each day, so your dog will have plenty of company and won't be left alone for long periods. This allows us to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. We understand how important consistency is, so we'll do our best to follow your dog's normal routine for feeding, walks, naps, medications, and bedtime. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace with plenty of cuddles, we'll make sure they receive the individualized care and attention they deserve. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home from the moment they arrive until it's time to reunite with you.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and we'll treat them with the same love and care we'd want for our own. Our home provides a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where dogs are part of the family. We closely supervise all pets while they're in our care and follow their normal routines as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. We also provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of affection. Because we have two young children, we carefully screen each booking to ensure it's a good fit for everyone. We only accept dogs that are comfortable around children and have friendly, non-aggressive temperaments. All interactions are supervised to ensure a safe and positive experience for both your dog and our family. We'll also keep you updated throughout your dog's stay with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in loving, capable hands.
A typical day
Every dog is different, so we'll tailor activities to their energy level and personality! We love taking dogs on neighborhood walks, playing fetch in the yard, tug-of-war, and providing plenty of toys and enrichment. If your pup enjoys relaxing, they're welcome to curl up with us for lots of pets and attention. Our two young children also love dogs and have been taught to be gentle and respectful, so friendly, family-oriented pups will receive plenty of love and affection. We'll always follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and at home. Most importantly, your dog won't just be watched—they'll be treated like part of our family while they're with us.
