About: I have a true passion for dogs and love making sure they’re happy and cared for. I enjoy building connections with every dog I spend time with, whether it’s taking them on fun walks, teaching them new things, or just giving them lots of attention. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I always focus on their unique needs. Taking care of dogs isn’t just a job for me, it’s something I genuinely love and take pride in. Caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily and weekly routine! With my three dogs, two GSPs and a labradoodle, weekly walks, car rides, and trips to the dog park are non-negotiable. I also make time for quick 5-minute training sessions and plenty of attention, which I believe are essential for keeping them happy and well-behaved. Working with dogs is something I’m used to and truly enjoy. When caring for pets in my home, I offer a safe and welcoming environment with a fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep them company. My dogs are never left outside all day, and your pet won’t be either. I prioritize their comfort and well-being. If your dog needs some quiet time, I have plenty of space in my room for a crate to help them feel safe and relaxed. I focus on making sure every pet feels at home while in my care.
About: Growing up with neighbors who had 12 dogs and 7 cats I had the privilege to help walk, feed, bathe, and watch pets at a very young age! Learning how to care for animals so young has helped me learn to be responsible and loving to them all! I have 2 dogs of my own that I love with my whole heart! They’re both loving, sharp and eager to learn new things! After a year long training course with them I am happy to share what I learned and help others train their pups! As a stay at home mom to my toddler I am almost always available! The flexibility of my schedule and the love of animals I have is what I believe will make me the perfect candidate to help you with your furry babies! I have a fenced backyard allowing your pet the space they may require to run, play and take potty breaks! I have 2 very friendly dogs who love to meet new friends but can also kennel them during your pets stay if needed! If you only need walking I am happy to help walk or even run as far/long as necessary to keep your pup happy!

Savannah D.Star Sitter
“Savannah has been a great help with our pups. When we go out of town, she checks on them multiple times a day, takes them out on walks, takes them on car rides to get pup cups and gives them tons of love and affection. She sends us pictures when they are out and about and makes me feel comfortable that they are being taken care of and having fun. On the occasions that we are not out of town and just too busy with work and life, she helps by coming to take them out to play and for walks throughout the day. Highly recommend her. Your pups and you will love having her around!”
Stefani V.
“I am beyond thrilled to have found someone like Stefani to care for my girls! From the moment we met, I could tell she wasn’t just doing this as a side gig, she truly has a heart for animals. My dogs are usually pretty shy around new people, but they warmed up to her instantly, and I could see how gentle, patient, and loving she was with them. It honestly felt like leaving them with family. She sent me regular updates, adorable photos, and little notes about their day, which meant the world to me. It gave me such peace of mind to know they were not only being well taken care of, but genuinely loved on. If you’re searching for someone to watch your pet and treat them like royalty, this is your person. Kind, trustworthy, reliable, and with the biggest heart for animals you really can’t ask for more. I’m so grateful to have found Stefani and will never go to anyone else!”
