Pet care experience
Welcome to my page! Here's a little bit about me: I was a Veterinary Assistant for 15+ years. I have worked in various locations such as Alaska, Texas and Massachusetts. I have experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, birds, chickens, horses and goats. I can administer medications and have experience working with injured and/or elderly animals as a VA.
Reviews
Stefanie and family were just perfect for our 13 year old Bichon who had never been away from us. They took very good care of her and spent hours each day catering to her. She was there for a week and came home her normal and happy self. Their animals are used to spending time with guests and are not bothered by newcomers to the family. We would recommend Stefanie and Jason if you need loving and caring people to care for your precious family pet.
Stephanie and her family were super nurturing to our dog and by the end of his stay with them we weren’t sure if he’d even want to go back with us. They were very responsive and gave updates with pics daily. We will 100% be using them again.
Stefanie provided excellent care for out dog while we were away. She kept us updated constantly with messages and pictures. Will definitely book her again in the
Stefanie took amazing care of my dog Rambo. She sent photos keeping me updated and took him on some great hikes as well as daily walks. She was also very accommodating to my dogs needs. If you are going on vacation I would definitely use her!

I currently have 4 animals in my home. I have a 13 year old mutt named Simba, a 3 year old black cat name Roux and a yellow naped amazon called Ziggy. Last year we adopted another cat who is now a little over a year old. Over time, she has gotten very sweet with us and she also makes us laugh and smile with her silly kitten antics. My dog Simba is the queen of the house hold having an over sized doggy bed, fancy bowls and sleeping where ever she pleases. My parrot keeps things interesting with his funny voices and songs. Roux is your typical cat, one minute he's being sweet and cute and the next... he finds some trouble but when it comes down to it, he is nothing but sweet, loving and entertaining to me and my family.

Information Stefanie S. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know if your pet has any medications to administer or special dietary needs (or allergies). It would also be good to know if your pet has a favorite toy or activity. If your pet is under going any specific training, please share with me any commands or little habits they may have. Are there any behavioral tendencies like separation anxiety, toy aggression, food aggression, leash pulling, any history of biting, or bolting? Last, is your dog okay with other dogs? Have they ever gotten into a dog fight before?
A typical day
I would love to accommodate the needs of your pets based on their age and personality. Whether it be a senior who needs to take it easy but may enjoy some company or a younger dog with lots of energy who wants to play fetch and run in the yard. My goal is to give your pet the best possible experience when you're not there.

I am currently working at a doggie daycare in Leominster, Massachusetts. My job is very busy and I must be on alert at all times. It is very fulfilling and I love waking up early to go and play/care for the pups. I am the primary caregiver to my daughter who is 8 years old. My husband and I also have 4 pets of our own. It is important to know I have kids and other pets who will be present throughout my pet sitting jobs. My 8yo is very quiet and well behaved. She has a lot of experience being around animals. On most weekends I have my two 5 year old step kids. If there are any pets that need walks, play or just companionship we've got a great space for it. The good thing about your pet staying in my home is that they will never be alone. My husband and I have opposite schedules so there will always be someone there with your pet. Where I live, I have access to a huge dog park right down the street and we often venture out to Leominster State Forest for hikes with our fluffy friends. I will keep you updated on your furbaby while you are away with pictures, videos and text messages to alleviate any stress or worry you may have.
