Pet care experience

Dogs are a habit, I think

My habit started at age 10 and I have been dog addicted since then. I have 10 years of experience working in an animal hospital and I currently cohabitate with 3 bossy Miniature Dachshunds whose antics make me laugh on a daily basis. I have volunteered with dog rescues (thus acquiring my pack) and enjoy the company of dogs of all shapes and sizes. My family has been involved in fostering puppies and adult dogs until they could be placed into their forever homes as well. I can also take care of pets of the feline persuasion and I am not afraid of a litter box. Have a yard that needs to be watered while you are away? I can help with that too as I am an avid gardener and enjoy the outdoors! Dog is good! I do prefer setting up a meet and greet with any new clients and pets so that there aren't any surprises for me or you. I want you to be comfortable with me and vice versa.

Always an awesome experience with Stefanie. I always feel relaxed and worry free when she's taking care of my fur baby. And my very picky kitty likes her too!

We had an amazing experience with Stefanie. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. Stefanie took such loving, attentive care of our cats, kept us updated with messages and photos, and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and stress-free while we were away. Coming home to calm, well-cared-for cats gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust her again.

We’re so grateful for the wonderful care Stefanie gave cats while we were on vacation! It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. Stefanie took care of everything—feeding, litter, and even dealing with unexpected surprises—and we really appreciated it all. We especially loved the daily photo updates! They really helped ease our worries. We were a little nervous leaving them for this long, but Stefanie’s thoughtful check-ins completely put us at ease. Stefanie truly went above and beyond, and we’ll definitely reach out to her again in the future!

Stefanie is AWESOME! You cannot find a better pet sitter! My family and I were looking for a professional pet sitter who had experience working with senior dogs with special needs. My dog, Athena, requires a specific diet with medications and is almost blind. I booked Stefanie for three afternoon "drop-ins". She came a week before our booking for a meet and greet and the years of experience working in an animal hospital and taking care of pets became evident instantly. Stefanie knew how to to help my blind dog feel comfortable by allowing Athena to approach her and initiate the interactions. She is such a professional, taking notes, asking questions, and going over my instructions, helping to ensure that the drop-ins were going to go as smoothly as possible for Athena. Stefanie has a very strong work ethic. She is extremely punctual and reliable. Athena requires a specific diet and medications have to be given in a specific amount and order. Stefanie followed my instructions perfectly. She kept me regularly updated with detailed texts and many photos, including how she prepared Athena's food. She even cleaned her water bowl every day. Stefanie did so many wonderful things for Athena and went above and beyond the booking. My family and I are not only impressed with her sense of responsibility, but her patience and kindness towards our precious girl is priceless. Athena showed how much she trusts Stefanie by wagging her tail when she arrived and allowing Stefanie to give her a belly rub. This is huge for a blind dog. Athena was even looking for her the next couple of days. Clearly, Athena trusted Stefanie with her care and so do I. My family and I plan to book Stefanie again and again! She is a rare gem and (we are) so grateful to her!

This was my 2nd time booking Stefanie. She's great! Knowing she was taking care of my cat helped ease the stress of leaving him again and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. Will definitely book her again in the future.
