Lots of snuggles and love!
Pet care experience
****At this time, I can only accept house sits that can include my own dog, Tesla. She is very small, very dog friendly, and low energy.***** I'm a lifelong dog and cat owner who loves to hang out with new furry friends. I have personal experience with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities. I am often called on to provide pet sitting duties for friends and family, and started dog sitting on a more frequent basis after I lost my dog, Callie. I wasn't ready to get a new pup of my own but missed the doggy time. I'm happy to help care for cats and other pets, as well. I do work full time Monday-Friday days, but have a fairly flexible schedule and can work remotely most to all of the time. We can talk about your pets' needs & routine to determine a plan to make sure they are not left alone for too long. If your dog is the high energy sort, I'm up for walks, hike, trips to the dog park, or playing ball in the yard. If your dog is more the kind that just wants to cuddle on the couch, we can do that too. My goal is to keep your pets as stress-free and happy in your absence as possible, and make sure that you can be away without being worried. I'm comfortable with multiple pets of all kinds or just one at a time. If you dog would enjoy a friend, my dog Tesla loves to help out with sitting and has proven to be a good companion for pets that are missing their families. RATES: My house sitting rate covers a 24 hour period in which I will stay overnight in your home with your pets. I may have to come and go during the day for work and other obligations, but will be sure that your dog gets potty breaks and attention as we discuss. Returns home that exceed a 24 hour period may be charged an additional drop-in fee. All drop-ins are the same base rate, regardless of the type of pet, to cover travel and time. Additional pets may be charged a small fee depending on needs.
Reviews
Stefanie has now watched our 2 dogs twice in the past few months and we LOVE her, as do Zoey and Felicity! She goes above and beyond- with our elderly dog she brought over some of her own supplies to make her more comfortable. She sends amazing photos & videos & gives detailed updates. Also her dog, Tesla, has fit right in with our crew! We could not recommended her enough and will use her from here on out! Best dog/house sitter ever!!
Stefanie was so attentive and responsive! Our pup had such a wonderful time and we look forward to many future visits!
Stephanie is our first choice for our fur babies!
Stephanie takes such terrific care of our pets and stays in touch with us regularly. She has administered medication and insulin, so has to go above and beyond traditional care. Thanks so much Stephanie for your kindness and communication!
