Experienced, professional care!

Pet care experience

Hello there, Im the Puppy Nanny! I offer professional grade care for your fur babies. Whether you need daycare or drop-in visits or fun walks, I aim to provide a friendly, impressive customer experience for you AND your dog. I was a police officer for 6 years until an injury forced me to stop and along with working with canines professionally, I have been raising, caring for, and training dogs for decades. Dogs have been our loving companions for millennia and have developed special ways of communicating and interacting with us. I use this special "language" to keep your companion at ease and having fun! I am open about active home surveillance systems and encourage their use while I am present. I understand that your canine companion is a part of your family and trust is extremely important in finding someone to care for them, so please tell me if there are any questions to answer or things to do to put your mind at ease. I look forward to helping you care for and pamper your little (or big!) companion!

Stephen was very a very responsive sitter. My skittish boy who normally hides from strangers was not hiding away.

Our dogs loved their stay with Stephen. He is knowledgable, caring, and easy to reach. We have an older dog and a puppy and this was the first time I truly didn't worry about them while I was away. Wonderful experience.

From the first meeting to the time we got home from our trip, Stephen was professional and punctual and really made us feel like our dogs were well taken care of.

Information Stephen S. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds and understand that the combination of breed and the way they have been raised is unique to every pet. The most important thing I need is time to sit with you and the dog so they know you approve of me being in their space and so I can learn from you your companions quirks, likes and dislikes, and behavior. Other important info such as histories of abuse, resource guarding (AKA food aggression), and a history of aggression towards humans and other dogs is appreciated.

A typical day

I hike as a hobby and have a strict non-choke collar policy. Different activities are more stimulating for certain dog breeds, and I will use this to make sure your baby gets the most out of his or her outside time I.E. fetching for retrieving breeds, toy/treat hide and seek for hounds, distance walks for high-energy breeds, etc.
