VIP Doggies

I should start by saying that Stevie offers discounts for good reviews on Unilocal which is why you see so many good reviews. She told us within 5min of meeting us that she offers discounts for good reviews on Unilocal.I find that completely unethical though not technically against Unilocal rules I suppose (it may be I’m not sure, she is basically paying for good reviews).
She met up with us, sat down and took all of our information, when we needed walks, how long, how many times per day, everything. Two days later she text us asking all the same questions again. She was very disorganized and disheveled. When she did watch our dog while we were away she never let us know she was there or that he was ok. We had to keep texting her and worrying about our dog. She insists on taking only cash or charges you extra to take a check! We paid cash, she told us later that we overpaid. By her own admission she overcharged us and offered us free walks in the future. I told her that we aren’t traveling any time soon and asked her to please return the money that she owed us. She refused! This is not an exaggeration in any way. She still owes us money and refuses to pay. The worst thing though is that she seemed so scattered I seriously thought she would forget about my dog.
It took only a quick search to find someone who is amazing with us and with our dog. I don’t think she is trying to rip anyone off I just don’t think she runs her business well at all. It is very easy to find someone better on Unilocal… And don’t trust those other reviews, they are paid for in free walks!

I just starting using Stevie at VIP Doggies myself, but I have been referring them for almost a year now and my clients love the friendly and responsible service provided by VIP Doggies. Stevie is very knowledgeable about the dogs and their behavior. If your a crazy dog owner and your dog is your child, VIP Doggies is the company for you!

Stevie is wonderful; I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker. She is incredibly professional, responsible and responsive as well as very loving and caring with my two Brussels Griffons. My boys are not the easiest, and not only do they love her but she does a fantastic job training them. If you are in need of a dog walker, definitely give Stevie a call, you will be happy you did.

Stevie took wonderful care of my best buddy Zackary from 2009 through 2011. I traveled out of the country and she moved right into my home and gave my guys tons of love, exercise and extraordinary care.
I highly recommend her.

VIP doggies is awesome! Stevie has been taking care of my golden retriever since he was a pup. She’s kept me sane and given him the best care we could have ever hoped for. If you are shopping for a dog walker or pet sitter, I highly recommend VIP.

Stevie is awesome! If you are in need of a dog-​walker, I highly recommend VIP Doggies. She’s been walking my Abby for more than a year now, and I can’t say enough about the peace of mind that I feel knowing Stevie is taking care of her. She is always available and I really appreciate the texts and pics that she sends to me after the time she spends with Abby.
Stevie has such a natural rapport with dogs, and Abby loves her to pieces. My dog can be a bit moody around other energetic dogs, so Stevie is careful to walk her solo and avoid any unnecessary encounters. Her prices are very reasonable too!
Anyone who has a pet understands how difficult & nerve-​wracking it can be to leave them in the care of someone else… you don’t need to search any further, Stevie is the best!

V.I.P. Doggies is THE BEST!!! I am one of those «crazy people» who considers their dog a member of the family, and therefor I am extremely selective in who I let watch my sweet boy. Stevie Jo treats your pet as if it is her own, and not once have I worried about how he was being treated. She will text you pictures or post them on Facebook showing how much fun your pet has while you are away. *To be honest, my dog may now prefer her to his family :) On top of providing stellar service to my pup, V.I.P. Doggies left my house clean and secure.
Can’t say enough good things about this team!

Trustworthy, in a word. The care given to my home & my dog has me returning to VIP Doggies without reservation. If you are a supporter of local small business you would be amiss to overlook this gem. Thank VIP Doggies for caring for my «best friend» so well.

I cannot recommend VIP Doggies more highly! Outstanding and trustworthy care of my beloved animals. When I am out of town they take excellent care of both my dog and my cranky old cat. They even send me pix and updates of my animals while I’m gone. Terrific service at reasonable rates.

Stevie is literally the Mary Poppins of dog-​nannying. I had to leave town on short notice, and called Stevie to stay with my cat, pomeranian, and Samson my EXTREMELY shy and often fearful rescued 106-​lb male American bulldog. I did not have time to introduce them, and had a lot of anxiety on whether or not he would even go to her as a stranger. Stevie assured me she was great with cases like mine and always got them to warm up within an hour. I thought she was being a little overly-​optimistic, but felt better.
No exaggeration, within 10 minutes of Stevie getting to the house she was texting me photos of Sam out in the back yard playing frisbee with her! If I hadn’t been sitting down I would have fainted from disbelief and extreme relief. All three absolutely adored her, and she took such wonderful care of them. All three walked with her (my cat often follows us when we go on our walk, and he followed Stevie too!) and she constantly kept me updated with texts and photos of their play sessions and progress. She even did a little light obedience training with my pom, which I cannot tell you how much I needed and appreciated it!
I would never call anyone else to watch my pack. Stevie is so innovative the way she uses social media and text to constantly keep you updated on how they are. When I travel, that is the biggest source of my anxiety and I never feel better in my life than when I leave them with her. I know they will be loved, and taken top-​notch care of until I get home, and that is priceless to me.

Stevie is amazing! She spoils my baby like no other. And he loves her! In fact, Sparky was her inspiration to start VIP Doggies… He’s the cute Cocker Spaniel in her picture. For anyone who’s looking for a dog walker or pet sitter, I can 100% recommend her. Feel free to contact me!

Stevie is very professional and great with puppies… right from the beginning she was clear on what services she offers, what everything costs, and provided credentials /​references. As things progressed, I was very impressed by her positive attitude and ambition to do a good job. I also found it great that she had a willingness to give me text updates/​pics of how her session went with my 14 week old puppy. I always knew she was taking great care of my puppy when I was at work. My puppy loved her!

Stevie does a great job taking care of our dog. She is always willing to go the extra mile and brings our dogs special treats on holidays. She is the Best!
