Pet care experience
I currently have the luxury of working from home full-time. My boyfriend (Derick) also works full-time from home so there will always be someone there to pet, play, or pamper your loved one. Our nights and weekends are dedicated to our dog treat business, Nak Snacks, which if you allow it, we are more than happy to give some treats to your dog during their stay! I've grown up around and raised all kinds of animals my entire life. Starting from a young age I would help raise and take care of the neighbors Australian Shepherd Rescue from newborn to adoption. I currently have a 7 yr old Golden Retriever (who loves everyone and everything) and 2 cats who think they're dogs. Walks or trips to the beach are weekly outings in our house but if we can't make it, our large and secure backyard is a great alternative. Your dog will be able to access the backyard as they please with plenty of shade and water to keep them cool during the hot days. I will be sending you photos and updates of your pet at least once a day (more if you request) as I know separation anxiety goes both ways :) It is my top priority to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy during their stay and will treat them as if they were my own. Buster, the cats, and I are looking forward to meeting you and your "furchild" and making their stay a memorable one!
Reviews
Stephanie took care of my little fur baby like she was her own. She even sent me pictures frequently to assure me she was having a good time. And on my top of that she gave my little one a bath since she was running/rolling around in the yard. I would definitely recommend her and I'm definitely going to ask her in the future if a dog sitter is ever needed. She has a golden retriever named buster that my dog loved to play with, I was surprised to see a picture of my dog laying close to her dog (she usually can't sit still). Thank you so much stephanie for taking such good care of my little one while I was away!!
We just had the greatest experience with Stephanie and Derick watching our Lab, Holly. We weren't sure how Holly would do around cats but Stephanie was very welcoming when we wanted to have a meet and greet. Holly ended up being fine with Stephanie's cute cats and made good friends with Buster, who is so sweet. Stephanie and Derick were very flexible in accommodating our arrival and departure and kept us in contact with pictures and updates. They were very aware of Holly and contacted us during the stay to notify us of an irritated ear that we had been keeping an eye on prior to the stay. With our permission, Stephanie was willing to clean and treat her ear daily to prevent an ear infection. We appreciated their vigilance. They let her freely roam around the house, enclosed yard and allowed her to lay on their bed and couch with Buster. They also generously gave Holly Nak Snacks, from their online snack food business. Holly was very spoiled! Great communication, very knowledgeable and conscientious. We couldn't have had better care for our dog and are so appreciative of their service! Thank you, Stephanie and Derick!
I'm sure if Haruki could give a review, he'd give 2 paws up - or 4?- for staying with Stephanie. Anyway, he ruvs it! He's stayed with her twice so far and we have been very happy with the care he's received!
Stephanie was great! Very accommodating and sent pictures/videos during the vacay. Pinot came back exhausted which is very difficult to do!! Definitely will be send Pinot on vacay with Stephanie and Buster!
