Veterinary Nurse who LOVES animals

I've been a veterinary professional since 1998. I love pets and I have a passion for helping animals and their owners. I have a close relationship with a nearby veterinarian in case of emergencies and I have an extensive knowledge of zoonotic diseases as well as common canine and feline ailments and nutritional health information. Your pets are in excellent hands with me. I'm capable of administering medication including insulin, I will feed, water, and walk your pets and give them lots of hugs and kisses!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a cozy little town home in Wylie. Your pets are welcome on any of my furniture. I don't have toxic house plants to worry about and I don't have other pets in my home so no real distractions or anxiety causing agents to worry about. I keep a clean home and I am nearby a soccer field and a park for walks and runs with your pet.

House Sitting • Sep 29, 2025

Stefanie was absolutely wonderful and incredibly patient with my dog, Pilot. I don’t trust many people with him since he’s older and a bit finicky, and very dependent on his regular routine. But Stephanie was amazing, she connected with Pilot right away, and he trusted her instantly. Usually, when we go away, he won’t eat for the first 24hrs., but with Stefanie he ate and drank right away. She walked him, gave him all the love he needed, and even took him for a quick car ride around the block (his favorite) She stayed at our home while my husband and I were out of town, and everything looked great when we returned. On top of that, she kept in touch with regular updates, pictures and videos, which gave us peace of mind. Stefanie is patient, kind and trustworthy. I Absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pet like family.

Daisy had a great time hanging with Stefanie and her son! She was on antibiotics and ear medicine and Stefanie provided care without any issues. I also received pictures throughout the visit and Daisy looked right at home! Thanks again :)

Stefanie is great with animals. Her experience working at a vet clinic really gives me the confidence that she can take care of my dog Axl when I'm out of town! She's the best!

Stefanie is amazing! We love her. Falcor (our boxer) loves going over to her house to stay while we are gone. Stefanie will often send us pictures of them snuggling together. Sometimes I get the sense he doesn't want to leave when we go to pick him up! She is always so professional and sweet and she adores our dog. We wouldn't trust him with anyone else!

Stefanie is not only amazing with my pets, she has so much knowledge of veterinary medicine I feel like I can call her whenever I'm paranoid about my dogs health lol. She truly cares and is always responsible. My dogs love her. Give her a call, you won't regret it.

Stephanie took care of my pets at my house while on vacation, and it was a good experience. I would not hesitate asking her again to take care of my babies.

Schedule

Why I love dog sitting I have been working in veterinary clinics since I was 14. I believe pets are more than just extensions of our homes and rather sentient beings that require connection and trust to truly be healthy and happy animals.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Stefanie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know if they've had any recent history of illness and if they have been on flea/tick prevention and or recently dewormed. If the dog has anxiety commonly I'd like to know that ahead of time so I can better determine what is "normal" stress level for a particular dog. I don't have a breed preference, I work fine with any breed and I LOVE pits and understand they get a bad rep :(.
