I’m home during the day, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide individualized care for every pet. This allows me to accommodate special needs, from administering medications or fluids, to extra playtime, snuggles, or monitoring a pet’s health. Being home full-time ensures pets in my care always have attention, companionship, and a consistent routine, so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for both dogs and cats. My home features a fully fenced yard for doggy guests to play and explore, plus several daily walks to keep them active and happy. I have a resident 15-year-old chihuahua who is friendly with both dogs and cats, and all pets are carefully supervised to ensure peaceful interactions. For cats, I only board one at a time or multiple from the same family. They enjoy their own bedroom outfitted with cozy cat trees, a water fountain, plenty of toys, and catnip. My resident and foster cats are kept separate from boarding pets if needed, so each animal feels safe and relaxed. Your pets will have individualized care, enrichment, and attention in a calm, secure space where they can feel at home while you’re away.

Please let me know about your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, and any behavioral quirks. It’s also helpful to know how they do with other animals and new environments.

Loving Care for Your Best Friend
Pet care experience
I've been caring for animals since childhood. I have decades of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats of all personalities. I’ve cared for neonates, seniors, shy and anxious pets, high-energy dogs, and cats with complex medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, following special routines, and providing attentive care tailored to each pet. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and subtle signs of stress or illness. For shy or sensitive pets, I move at their pace, creating a calm, low-stress environment where they feel safe and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime, walks, snuggles, or just quiet companionship, I adjust to each pet’s needs. Above all, I treat every dog and cat like family, with patience, affection, and respect for their unique personality.

Reviews
Finding a dog sitter is a bit challenging. It was the first time to leave my 4-year-old Shiba Inu with a dog sitter for two weeks. I was worried about whether he would adjust to the new environment, but Stefanie cared for him with great patience. She built a bond of trust with him and respected his pace, which I really appreciated.
Stefanie was great with our 2 dogs. I appreciated all of the updates she sent and they had a blast! Highly recommend
Stephanie was great and very sweet with our anxious Penny. We’ll definitely book with her again.
Stefanie was great, super responsive and flexible. Will definitely book again!
