I love animals so much ♥️🐾
Pet care experience
I love dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I have been a pet sitter on this app since the end of 2018. Before that I was my friends and family's go-to person because they know the love and care I show to their pets. I have an open availability as long as I know enough time in advance and I'm willing to work with the client's schedule. *** I love spending time not just playing with the dogs but also petting/messaging/ talking to the dogs which creates a beautiful bond. I also love taking photos of the pets I am watching. I am able to give oral medications and have also given medications by injection. I would love to have the opportunity to watch your fur baby(ies) for you!!! *** Almost 24/7 care will have additional costs to cover what I would normally make in a day with other work outside of the home if your pet cannot be left for more than 2 hours. ***

As always, we know our 6 mo old puppy is in good hands when Stef comes to watch her!
Stefanie is the ideal pet companion and housesitter! Our dog fell in love with her and was sad when she had to go home after our return. She sent us updates and photos (with delightful captions) several times a day that kept us connected, laughing, entertained and thankful. His pictures showed him having fun, playing, walking and running and letting her know what he wanted. She took care of our mail very efficiently, even put l up recycling out, although we hadn't asked or expected her to. AND she laundered her linen and towels; she left us photo souvenirs of our baby's week, sweet gifts and a thank you note for the privilege of caring for him. She has an intuitive ability with animals and understands them very well. She is also very personable and human-friendly. She now feels like a family friend and certainly someone we HIGHLY recommend. We'll definitely call her in the future and encourage our friends and anyone who cares about their pet(s) to hire her. Thank you, Stefanie.
5 stars as always. We can rest assured when our dog is in Stef's care. We also love the photos she takes of Juno (and even a lil play by play from our dogs perspective)
I recently had the pleasure of having Stef as a drop in for my puppy, Willow, while I was on vacation. This was my first time leaving my puppy, the experience could have been stressful, but Stef made it anything but. Her professionalism and genuine care for Willow's well-being were evident from the start. The regular photo updates were not only reassuring but also a delightful glimpse into their daily adventures. It was comforting to know that Willow was not just looked after, but also loved and treated with utmost kindness in my absence. Stef's ability to make both me and Willow feel secure and happy was truly commendable. I highly recommend her services and hope to have her take care of Willow again soon. Thank you, Stef, for your exceptional care!

I always make sure that doors are closed properly along with fence doors along my client's property. If there are gates in the house to make sure they don't go up stairs on their own/etc I also make sure those are in place. When taking them on walks I also make sure their leash is secured properly.
Information Stefanie D. would like to know about your pet
Please always let me know if your pet has any particular needs or there has been any behavioral or medication/etc changes recently. It's important to let me know if they experience any separation anxiety and what you personally do to try and mitigate that. Also if they have any triggers if they are taken on walks such as bikes/squirrelsetc.
A typical day
I love to explore the area around the client's home. Love to play with dogs in their yard or bring them to the park near their home! I love giving fur babies lots of attention and cuddles! All animals love when I give them full body massages/scratches! ** I also am a photographer and if you want professional photos taken of your pet I would love to discuss this more with you!! **

Availability
Being a pet sitter is one of my main focuses currently. I also do supplemental work being a shopper/delivery person for apps such as Instacart/Shipt/Uber Eats depending on my current client and their needs.
