Availability
I attend school full-time, which lets me dedicate blocks of time to pet care each week. * Monday to Thursday: bookings between 4 PM - 8 PM * Friday & Weekends: bookings between 7 AM–4 PM Within those hours I can usually adjust for special needs or timing if it fits around my other responsibilities. I like to plan each visit so your pet’s routine feels seamless, loved, and secure.

About Estephania M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care in the client’s home where pets feel most comfortable. During drop-in visits, I follow all instructions carefully—whether that’s feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, or playtime. For dogs, I ensure safe and enjoyable walks tailored to their energy level and routine. I treat every home and pet with respect, making sure your pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for in their own space.
Information Estephania M. would like to know about your pet
It’s really important for me to learn as much as I can about a pet before watching them so I can care for them the way their owners would. I like to know how they behave on a leash, do they suddenly pull? Are they reactive to other dogs or people or do they need a harness? If they’re on medications I need to know how they take them (in food, with a pill pocket). For cats, I ask about what treats or toys they like, and their usual behavior-are they shy, playful, or independent? I also ask about feeding schedules, bathroom, routines, favorite, and off-limits areas in the home, and anything that might scare or stress them out, like loud noises or strangers. The more I know upfront the better I can keep them safe, comfortable and happy.
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and active, so I tailor the fun based on each pits, personality and needs. For dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, spending time at a dog park if allowed. For cats, I like interactive play with toys, like feather wand, laser pointers, or bouncy balls, or just giving them attention and affection if they are more low-key. I also make sure to keep their routines consistent.

Your Pets, My Priority 🐾
Pet care experience
I grew up with a dog for 10 years and understand their routines, energy, and love for play. I'm patient, gentle, and love long walks, belly rubs, and building trust. Whether it’s a quick potty break or drop-in visit, I treat every pup like my own. I’ve cared for my cat for over 10 years and understand feline personalities—whether playful, shy, or senior. I also volunteered at a New York cat shelter for a year, where I cleaned cages, gave treats, and spent quality time with cats waiting for adoption. I offer calm, reliable care for your kitty's unique needs. I also hold an American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certificate to ensure pets are safe in case of emergency.

Reviews
Another amazing experience with Estephania! Godzooki really enjoyed the visits and the playtime! Will definitely book again!
Sooo happy with Estephania’s care of my chiweenie, Stassi! She was very detailed with updates and updated quite frequently. I always felt comfortable knowing that my dog was being taken care of by her. Will definitely use her in the future.
Estephania was exceptional with Godzooki! Her daily feedback was greatly appreciated! Godzooki is fond of her, I will definitely book with her again.
Estephania was absolutely fantastic, very detailed, caring, great communication! We have a zoo, 7 cats, 2 dogs, 2 turtles, 1 bird and three fish tanks. She took care of all our babies with care, kept them company and gently spoke to them and they loved it. We felt absolutely relieved while we were in vacation that our babies were in great hands with Estephania. We can’t thank her enough for the great care and service she provided for us. I highly recommend her!
