Sitter who treats pets like family!

Pet care experience

Please read my full profile to see if we are a good match. I have had pets for over 30 years! I absolutely love animals and will treat them like family. Experienced with dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, iguanas, fish, birds, snakes, spiders, and outside farm animals. I also have two master degrees, one being in clinical psychology and I’m a subject matter expert in psychology so understanding behaviors helps with the care of your pet! Available to board at my house. Lets do a meet and greet and see if we are a good fit! I have a fenced in yard. I cannot take aggressive animals for boarding overnight due to having a cat and children. I can crate both large and small animals if crating is desired. I cannot give discounts or refunds for cancellations within the month anymore as booking you pet means I turn down others and loose out on other bookings.

Thanks to Stefanie for taking great care of Skyler & Brooks. She kept us up to date with daily photos, and very responsibly fed and medicated our fur babies exactly according to instructions. We'll definitely use her services again.

Stefanie is amazing with our baby. She spoils him like we would and treats him like her own. We will definitely keep using her.

Both of our dogs enjoy staying with Stefanie and her little boys. They love the attention she gives them and always have fun with her. She sends updates throughout the day, which is very comforting and knowing they are in good hands. 🙂

Stefanie is a loving pet sitter! She took amazing care of my old beagle and sent wonderful texts with pictures, videos and updates while I was away. Every picture showed a happy dog :)

Safety, trust & environment

What I need from you to ensure the safety of your pet, my household, and future pets: 1. Please have your animal on some type of flea treatment so fleas are not coming into our house. 2. Meet and Greets are important for both us to see if the animal gets along with children and that we are also a good fit for your animal. 3. I do have chickens in the back yard but put them in their coop when letting dogs out. I can also walk your dog if preferred. 4. Honesty, I do need to know if your pet has ever bitten someone or has behaviors like peeing in the house prior to the meet and greet.

Information Stefanie M. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your animals routine and feeding schedule! Also please let me know if your pet has any fleas as we are vigilant in making sure fleas are not brought in to avoid spreading to other pets we board in the future. I also need to see how the animal will interact with my children and that we are a good fit for your fur baby, which is why a Meet and Greet is super important!

A typical day

We have lots of love to go around in our house & a fenced in back yard for lots of room for exercise. We love going on family walks as well!
