Pet care experience
!!New Photos Uploaded!! Bio: I love being with animals so much I made it a career! I was a former K-9 Handler for a major security company in New York City. I loved my job and I loved working with my K-9 partner however, life happened and my family grew! I am now a stay at home mom and a U.S. Army Veteran raising my little one! My pet experience is when I first had a hamster at the age of 4 years old. Having a hamster definitely made me want to take on more responsibilities. That quickly turned to having a gecko, multiple bearded dragons (lizards), 4 dogs, 6 hamsters, 2 guinea pigs, 1 beautiful red tail Boa Constrictor, and 2 Holland Lop bunnies. Yes, growing up with animals made me want to becoming a Veterinarian. I went to college but, I didn't realize that Organic Chemistry would kick my behind, and that becoming a Veterinarian is more than just cuddling and loving on an animal. It is about learning their body, just like human doctors do! Now I have a pre-law bachelors degree and would rather give love to your pet, while also looking out for them while you are away! I am only sitting 3 dogs at a time. I want to make sure your pet has my individual attention as if it was a human child!
Reviews
Truly a professional! Deeply cares and is Knowledgeable. I will definitely book again!
Stephanie is the best as always!! She took such great care of my dog! Highly recommend her.
Stephanie is an outstanding caregiver. She has done a great job taking care of my dog when I was out of town for a week. Every time she finishes waking she would summarize the activity immediately and suggest me what she notice from my dog. I feel very comfortable putting my trust in her to take care of my dog. I would definitely request her again !!
Stephanie was amazing. My two furr babies loved her. She provided me with updates and many pictures. So grateful for everything. 1000% recommend her.

I live in an apartment 1,250 sq ft (so lots of space), ground floor, I have a huge open space (unfenced) behind my house with open green grass for your furry friend to run around. I also have a patio as apart of my apartment unit. I live super close to 3 parks around Piscataway/Edison area.

Information Stephanie P. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences. I am open to all breeds! I can work with small dogs as small as a chihuahua or tea cup yorkie to a great Dane! Fun fact: I have never seen a Great Dane until I turned 22 years old. They are much much taller than I, and they swear they are lap dogs. Questions I have for the owners: Has your dog been around other dogs and are they friendly? Have they ever bit a person or another dog? Has your dog ever ran away or has tried? Does your dog destroy properties chew on shoes, chew on carpet sofa or scratch walls? Does your dog bark?
A typical day
I love hiking. I was in the military so we ruck march all the time! I love taking my dog out for runs, walks, and to the doggy park at South Mountain Reservation in South Orange, New Jersey. As a former K-9 handler I also enjoy teaching new tricks and stunts.
