“I can only begin to describe how grateful I am for Stephanie house sitting with my two schnauzers. Both dogs absolutely loved her and got lots more walks than they get from me. Willow still goes into the bedroom where Stephanie slept and finds comfort snuggling into the pillow. Stephanie was prompt and kept me posted about how things were going. She was respectful of the house, and everything was spotless when I returned home. Willow has a number of health issues and Stephanie dealt with them well - everything from administering meds to watch and judge a little blip in Willow's health. Because she has a car, she was able to get Willow to my vet if it had been necessary. I would recommend Stephanie for anyone needing a house sitter or someone to com into their home to care for pets.”
About: With over a decade of hands-on pet care experience, I have cared for both cats and dogs, raising them separately and together. I specialize in senior pet care, including administering medication, and have trained puppies in manners and potty training. Additionally, I am certified in nail trimming through Paragon’s Nails and Ears Technician Program, ensuring safe and stress-free nail trim. What makes me a great dog sitter is my deep understanding of canine behavior, patience, and commitment to providing a safe and loving environment. I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize trust, consistency, and communication with pet owners, ensuring peace of mind while their furry friends are in my care. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both dogs and their owners. Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I am available throughout the week and on weekends, with the exception of Wednesdays, when I have prior commitments. I strive to be as flexible as possible to accommodate pet owners' needs. To ensure the best care and scheduling, I kindly ask for a few days' notice before finalizing any bookings. This allows me to plan accordingly and provide the highest level of attention and care for your pet. Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust to ensure your pet feels secure and happy. Though I live in an apartment, I have a dedicated, cozy space where your pet can feel at home. I provide scheduled potty breaks and walks (weather permitting) while keeping their routine consistent. Extra treats and toys will be available, but I also take great care to respect and protect any belongings you provide. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will follow their daily routine to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. I treat every home with respect, leaving it just as I found it. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels cared for, whether at home or away

About: I am a Certified Veterinary Technician who loves pets of all species and sizes! I have 4 years of experience in the veterinary field with 2 years of veterinary technician schooling. I have had a dog since I was around 4 or 5 and ever since then I have loved animals beyond measure! I have pet sat for multiple people in my area. I can accurately feed, medicate, walk, bathe, bandage, recognize signs of emergency, perform CPR (in only the most extreme cases), etc for any pet needed I will soon be home a lot more often. While I do have to take care of my pets at home, I will be free most days through the week and I can do overnights on occasion. I am not comfortable bringing other pets into my home to meet my animals due to them being easily stressed. I will happily walk, spend the day with, snuggle your pets in your home or in public.
“What a treat to have Jennifer come and stay with our puppy Molly for about four hours. Molly is seven months old and full of energy but that didn’t phase Jennifer. She knew how to handle her and gave us confidence this was going to be a good experience. Jennifer always stayed in contact and answered any questions we had, she showed up on time, and even shared a couple pictures of Molly while we were away. Glad we chose Jennifer.”
