Pet care experience

Loving animals since ‘92

My love for animals started as far back as I can remember. If there was a neighborhood dog or cat around, that’s where you’d find me. At the age of 9, I began working with horses, goats, dogs and cats on a local farm on the weekends. Once I turned 14, I started house sitting for the owner of the 9 acre farm for two weeks at a time. Waking up at 4am to feed the horses, goats, dogs, cats, clean the barn stalls & make the school bus by 630 wasn’t easy!! But, it taught me the responsibly & knowledge needed to properly care for animals at an early age.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I think It’s much better and more comfortable for pets to be taken care of in their own home/environment. I’m big on cleaning as well. You’ll be put as ease knowing your pets & home are taken care of with me, as i treat both like my own.

Steph did a great job. She sent updates and photos, asked questions and was ready to help out when my plane was delayed. Also, the house was very clean when I got home. I could certainly tell that my dog was at ease with her being there.

Steph was great. She communicated often with photos and updates which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable having her at my home and caring for my pup. I will definitely book again.

Steph was an amazing sitter for Max! She was a great communicator, handled him so well and left our home spotless. We’re especially grateful for how well he bonded with her and the time she took to reinforce some positive behaviors with him. Max can be a little needy and she took it in stride. Highly highly recommend Steph to take care of your furry bff and home!
