Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly rhythm—I build my schedule around making sure animals get the attention, comfort, and consistency they deserve. I can accommodate everything from early morning feedings to midday walks and evening check-ins. Whether it’s a weekend cuddle session or a weekday medication routine, I’m able to adapt to your pet’s needs and keep their care stress-free and reliable. I treat each visit like a meaningful part of my day, not just a task—and that makes all the difference.

Safety, trust & environment

When I welcome a dog into my home, it’s truly a cozy retreat. While my availability is limited, I offer a calm, dog-friendly space with a small fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of soft beds and healthy treats inside. I prioritize comfort, consistency, and emotional well-being—whether it’s a short stay or a day visit. For in-home visits, I adapt to each pet’s routine and environment with care and respect. I follow feeding schedules, medication needs, and behavioral cues closely, and I always aim to reduce stress for both pets and their people. My background in holistic wellness and pain management means I’m especially attentive to mobility, mood, and subtle shifts in behavior.

Information Stephenye A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences to ensure they are cared for just like they would be at home.

A typical day

Every day is customized to the energy level and personality of your dog. A typical day might start with a brisk walk or playful romp to get tails wagging and bodies moving. For mental exercise, I love incorporating puzzle toys, scent games, or simple training refreshers that keep their minds sharp and engaged. After activity, we balance with calm: snuggle sessions, belly rubs, or quiet companionship for dogs who thrive on affection and reassurance. The goal is always the same: a happy, balanced pup who feels loved, secure, and fulfilled — whether they’re high‑energy adventurers or gentle snuggle bugs.

Pet care experience

With years of hands-on experience in pet wellness and a deep love for animals, I offer more than just sitting—I provide thoughtful, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs. What sets me apart? I specialize in senior pet support, including mobility assistance and medication routines, and I’m skilled in gentle puppy training that builds trust and good habits from the start. My background in canine hydrotherapy and holistic wellness means I notice the little things others might miss, and I always prioritize comfort, safety, and joy. Whether it’s a playful walk, a quiet cuddle, or a wellness check-in, your pet is in caring, capable hands.

Stephenye and her husband are guardian angels! My father died suddenly and we needed to travel cross country immediately to care for my ill 93 yo mother. Between the two of them they provided comprehensive care for our 2 dogs. On our meet and greet our dogs were glued to Stephenye so much that I told my husband I was jealous of her. But of course we were thrilled that they immediately bonded! I’m just nicknaming her the dog whisperer! I felt instantly comfortable with Scott and Stephenye especially when I found out they started MerMutts a therapeutic pool therapy for dogs: mermutts.love. In addition to taking care of our pups they were in constant communication with us sending us doggie clips and pics. They also watered our plants, cared for our home, collected our mail, and even took some pics I needed for my dad’s funeral. I carry them both in my heart for providing us with a worry free trip back home during a stressful time.

Lola’s home away from home. She loves Stephenye and her sweet dogs. Stephenye communicates with us while we’re gone with daily pictures and updates. I love seeing the pictures and hearing how things are going. 100% recommend.

Stephenye watched Lola for a week and she took such great care of her. She sent daily updates with videos and pictures. Stephenye was very sweet about my anxiety around leaving Lola, and reassured me. I could tell Lola was very relaxed around her at the meet and greet. She also has two extremely sweet dogs who got along very well with Lola. Highly recommend her services!!

Our dog Riley loved Stephenye at first sight. She took great care of Riley while we were on vacation. Riley began waiting for her at the door after just a few days. We feel lucky to have had Syephenye take care of Riley.
