Pet care experience
Reliable Gold Coast Dog & Cat Care
Hi, I'm Stefanie! I'm a positive, patient, and reliable pet sitter based in the Gold Coast, and most of my clients are right here in the neighborhood. I work with cats and dogs alike — from spirited walks to quiet cat companionship — and I know how hard it can be to find someone trustworthy on short notice, so I always make room for last-minute bookings, especially for busy professionals who need reliable care on a tight schedule. I'm certified with the American Red Cross in Cat & Dog First Aid and fully insured through Pet Care Insurance, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands. Last year, I cared for an elderly cat for two weeks... providing daily injections, medication support, and around-the-clock companion care — we formed such a sweet bond, and it strengthened my confidence in both elder cat and dog care. I'm happy to help with walks, check-ins, feedings, medication support, or playtime. Because I live and work in the neighborhood, I can often respond quickly to schedule changes or last-minute requests — just let me know your pet's routine and preferences, and I'll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Fun fact: my building doesn't allow cats or dogs, so I have a little bird named Sonic who loves to sing!

Safety, trust & environment
I take safety seriously — I'm insured through Pet Care Insurance and certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so you can feel confident I'm prepared for the unexpected. I follow your instructions closely and keep your pet's routine consistent, from feeding times to favorite walking spots. Because I'm based right in the Gold Coast, I'm rarely far away if plans change or you need an extra check-in. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for exactly the way they are when you're home.
Ratings and reviews
Did a great job caring for my dog and giving her fun walks and attention!
Stephanie was so kind and helpful taking care of my cats for the weekend! She was flexible and easy to work with when one of my kitties was unexpectedly prescribed medicine for the week.
Highly recommend! Did an amazing job taking care of my large dog on walks while I was out of town. Responsive, friendly, and trustworthy
My kitties are already looking forward to their next visit with Stefanie!!
Stefanie is AMAZING!! She took Awesome care of my little sight impaired senior fur baby while I was away on a couple of trips. My little one eagerly awaited Stefanie's arrival each day. Stefanie is dependable, responsible, thorough, gentle, & caring. Hands-down, she is the best dog sitter I have ever worked with over 10 years!!! I wholeheartedly recommend Stefani to care for your little one. I will be reaching back out to her again soon!
Stefanie is the best!!!!! She took incredible care of my cat while I was away for a week, and she was incredibly flexible and understanding when plans changed. She sent the best updates every single day and I felt the most comfortable I ever have being out of town. My cat also loved her 🤗 could not recommend Stefanie more!!
