Pet care experience
I have owned dogs all my life, They are one of the most amazing creatures on the planet (besides cats of course!;) and they all deserve the amount of love and attention that they provide to us. I live with a beautiful senior Great Dane named Zephyr. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I understand the importance of knowing your dog is comfortable and content, especially when left in someone else’s care. I appreciate how much anxiety is involved with finding arrangements for pet care, so whatever I can do to put your mind at ease while they are in my care, I'll gladly do it. Also, I will provide complete and constant contact with you while I’m with your pet! I truly love the company of animals and am very familiar with all dog breeds, including breed specific health issues and personality traits. I also enjoy providing different therapeutic massage techniques, acupressure and t-touch massage. I love the calming effect it has on my own dog, as well as the improved mobility it’s provided in his senior years, and great for his arthritis. My other pet clients love them too! I am more than happy to pamper your pet if it's something they would enjoy. I also enjoy grooming and brushing, as well as mani/pedis, and mental games. Whatever your pet enjoys, or you prefer, I'm happy to help! Look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I pet sit full time. My long time reoccurring clients are very flexible so I can generally accommodate the needs of all my clients. I’m available 24/7 I will fulfill any requests/requirements while your pet is in my care. I will respect your home and can help with any other additional necessities while you are away. Mail collection, houseplant/yard care etc.
Reviews
Stephanie has cared for our 20 year old cat several times and we are thrilled with her. She is willing to go above and beyond for your babies. Highly recommended!
Stephanie goes above and beyond what is expected of her. We know that our old man cat is in loving good care with her. We feel very very lucky to have her watch after him while we’re away. :)
Stephanie is considerate and reliable as well as having that kind of personality that makes people and creatures feel calm. We have worked with her before and will continue going forward (unless SHE fires US.😏) I highly recommend her. She’s a cat whisperer.
Stefanie is a fantastic sitter! I could not recommend her services more. She is very patient and my timid diabetic cat does great with her. It takes a lot of stress and worry off of me knowing that he’s being well taken care of while I’m away! If I could give 6 stars I would! Thank you so much Stefanie!!

Information Stefanie V. would like to know about your pet
Any aggression or anxiety issues/concerns, especially on walks if I’ll be taking them on any walks. I have extensive experience in leash aggression and reactivity with large and powerful breeds so certainly not a deal breaker, just want to know what to keep an eye out for while out and about on our adventures! Also if they are prone to eating random items on the street during walks or anything similar to keep an eye out for. Any guarding or resource aggression in the home. If there are any areas on your dog or cat that they do not like to be touched.
A typical day
Whatever your pet (or you) needs or desires I’m happy to provide while they are in my care. Walks, runs, basic training or mental stimulation, parks, car rides, grooming, whatever makes them happy while you are away I’m happy to help! I am also in the process of obtaining certification in Animal Massage Therapy, if that is something you think they would enjoy let me know!
