Super friendly pet sitter :)
Pet care experience
I’ve been taking care of dogs since roughly 15 years, a couple of times professionally, while the majority of the times I only did it because I love animals and their company so much (especially dogs!). I have a dog in my country (I couldn’t take her here with me) and I’ve had a dog here during my past relationship that belonged to my ex so she’s not here with me anymore. I’ve also cat sitted a couple of times where I only had to feed the cat, change the litter and play a bit. In my previous house, my housemate had a cat so I had to take care of him time to time while he was away. What I enjoy the most is playing outside with dogs and giving them cuddles! I hope you will consider me as I’m a genuine pet lover and I’m desperately trying to buy a car!
Reviews
Very happy with Stefanias pet sit. We were looking for someone last minute for NYE for our nervous dog. Stefania made sure Wilson was comfortable and happy and would use again thank you.
Stafania was absolutely great looking after our dogs. Quick getting back to initial enquiry and she was more than helpful sorting out what we needed. Not fazed at all buy the dogs (one is a deer hound) and we felt more than happy with our experience even when we had to alter the times slightly. Many thanks Stefania. Jan and Andy.
Used two times been perfect both times no bother
First time using Rover, so I was a little apprehensive leaving a stranger in my house with my dogs, however Stefania was wonderful and I really needn't have worried. She met me and my dogs beforehand and we got to know each other a little which really helped put my mind at ease. I wouldn't hesitate in booking with her again and highly recommend her.

Based on what I used to do while I was living with a dog, I always make sure there’s fresh water in the bowl and that the animal has had his potty time. I used to take my ex’s dog outside every couple of hours, but that was a big dog and was very frenetic so I had to, I can easily adapt to your schedule if your dog doesn’t need to be outside so many times. I would normally feed a dog 2-3 times per day, according to each one’s specific diet. My dog in Italy eats 3 small meals per day, my ex’s dog used to eat twice per day but a bigger portion. Once again, I’m happy to follow any dietary requests you might have. I would also spend some time playing, if the pet wishes to, as the whole point to me is making sure the dog or cat doesn’t miss the owner too much so a bit of playing might distract him/her.
Information Stefania C. would like to know about your pet
I do not have experience with special needs dog but my dog in Italy has seizures time to time so I learned how to cope in that sort of situation.
A typical day
I like both outdoor and indoor activities so I would use the toys or take the dog outside to explore the surroundings and for potty time. I also like teaching commands such as sit, high five, turn around and other simple words.
Services
Stefania can watch in your home
Availability
I’m a full time worker but I can be available for late afternoon and evening sitting or dog walking. In the weekends I’m mostly available and I could also stay overnight. I cannot take any pets at home as I’ve got new carpet everywhere and the agency is very strict on this unfortunately.
