Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving Care for Your Best Friend
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.

Ratings and reviews
Stefanie was great, super responsive and flexible. Will definitely book again!
We had a wonderful experience! I was really nervous about leaving my fur baby for a week for the first time, but Stefanie sent lots of photos and updates that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear he was having a great time and was well cared for. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her!
Loved having Stefanie watch Bogey! She was communicative and super kind. Would absolutely have her watch my pup again!
Stefanie took great care of our guy and kept us posted with tons of pictures and updates! Would definitely book her again (:
Thank you so much Stefanie, for meeting me early in the morning & taking such great care of my pup for a full day! I really appreciated the photos and updates. I would absolutely recommend you!

Schedule
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.

Home characteristics
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.

A typical day
I keep pets on a routine similar to what they’re used to at home unless other instructions are given. The day includes feeding, walks, hikes and playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and quiet time to relax.
