In all honesty I really do not want to write this review. Why you ask? Well, because the second I do y'all will realize that Stephanie is the dog sitter you've been searching for then y'all will totally book her out and then I won't have a dog sitter and that will then suck for me, but Stephanie is so super awesome that it wouldn't be right to not leave her a review, so here it goes. I have 2.5 dogs, yes you read that correctly 2.5 dogs. My eldest dog is Tigger, he is 15.5 years old, 17 lbs, blind as a bat, selectively deaf and his knees are are bad enough that he really shouldn't be jumping. Tigger also has COPD (who knew dogs could get COPD?!), anyhoo Tigger has to be given a pill every morning/evening. Second dog is Taz, oh poor little Taz has had a rough few weeks. Usually Taz is my easiest dog but recently Taz has been forced into the "cone of shame" because he scratched his hind leg and just will not leave it alone, then we found out is thyroid is all honky so now he's on meds once a day and then to top it all off Taz was sprayed by a skunk two nights before we went out of town. We live in an RV which has grand total 400 sq ft of space, which I'm sure you can imagine how nicely that smelled. 🤢🤢🤢 Third dog is the .5 and her name is Honey Bunny. Now Honey Bunny obviously is a whole dog, but we say .5 because Honey Bunny is paralyzed in her hind quarters, she was hit by a truck when she was 11 mos old, she is now 14 and is utterly indestructible. She uses a cart to get around and she is fast, fast, fast. Honey has a lot of special needs since she's paralyzed, one being how she potties. Honey needs to have her bladder expressed for her about every 4-5 hours, she cannot pee by herself and so you can see how that could become a problem if left alone. Actually Honey's needs are so special that I have only been away from her twice in her 14 years life, but my husband and I needed a vacation and a very special dog sitter for Honey Bunny. Stephanie didn't even flinch when I told her about Honey Bunny, actually Stephanie came to our RV twice just to learn how to potty Honey before we left! Now that's customer service. So Stephanie had 3 old dogs to deal with, all three are on daily meds, one reeked of skunk and the last one needed attention at least every four hours and Stephanie conquered all of that and then some! Stephanie sent pictures of the pups multiple times while we were out of town and when we arrived home we found a sweet note waiting for us with the medication schedule that she kept them on along with PRECISE times of when Honey went potty. The RV was left in better condition then when we left and our dogs were happy from all the love Stephanie gave to them. So there it is, if you want Super Woman to be your dog sitter, Stephanie is it and there doesn't seem to be anything that Stephanie cannot conquer. Stephanie's kindness, understanding, compassion, workability and professionalism were exactly what I was searching for. Basically Stephanie is the best dog sitter of all time and if you pick anyone else you're making a mistake, but please don't steal Stephanie to much from me or I will be very hurt, as will my pups. Thank you Stephanie for loving my babies, means the world to me.
