Words cannot stress how vital and important Stephanie is to me and my dogs. Her knowledge about the canine species is just astounding and secondly my dogs refuse to have anybody else watch them. She has real care and instinct with dogs and it shows. I’m provided countless photos of my dogs engaging with other local dogs, and images of them on numerous adventures. My dogs have been a serious challenge and handful for other dog sitters in the past, but with Stephanie’s good method and techniques, I see a real change in them. If your looking for a reliable, trustworthy sitter for you pet, while on vacation, business or what may have you; it doesn’t get any better than this girl right here.

There is no one in the world I could recommend to trust your pet with than Stephanie. Milo has never smiled more, or came home happier than in her care over the years - and very recently she quite literally saved my pup's life while I was out of the country. He got sick and while many would have brushed it off - she rushed him to the vet, 2 ERs and kept me up to date every step of the way. She purchased an air mattress and slept in the hospital, worked from the hospital as my pup recovered, she even brought her own family that Milo loves to visit him and help him recover and ease his anxieties! In addition, she updated my family and friends who wanted to visit (or even face time), spoke with the doctors on my behalf and communicated all that was required, she picked up medicines, special groceries to help him eat. She truly is a guardian angel. I would have recommended Steph above all others before this - as she always provides the best care, genuinely cares about your pet, gives them lots of love, sends pictures & videos to show you how much fun they are having - but to know that your pet is in the best possible care if there was ever an emergency, that is a rare find, and something I never thought of until it happened. I don't know if my pup would have survived without Steph, and for that I will be forever grateful. She took care of him as if he was her own. She has a heart of gold & truly is one of a kind.

My husband and I were on vacation and Stephanie took such an amazing care of our dogs Ollie & Bailey. This was our first time leaving them for such a long period of time, but Stephanie took them to the park, gave them socialization opportunities and even took them to the Open Newbury Street event!! The dogs looked so happy in the daily photos Stephanie shared and had an amazing time. I would 1000% recommend Stephanie to anyone!

Wow, Steph is such a gift! Our 7 month old puppy Luna stayed with Steph for 1 week and in that timeframe had so many new experiences, met so many new human and pup friends, had a ton of socialization and received training that came naturally to Steph. It felt so good to be on vacation and to rest knowing our pup was being cared for by a really loving, talented, resourced caregiver. Steph is not only a dog watcher, she really loves and respects dogs and knows how to communicate with them on deep levels. You can notice this immediately. It also felt so nice to follow along on Instagram and see our pup having the time of their life while we were having ours. 10/10 - would recommend her to people I love.
