Pet care experience
🐈Cat Specialist & Senior Pet Care
I've been caring for cats for as long as I can remember and have spent the past few years as a professional pet sitter. My specialty is caring for cats and senior pets—especially those who thrive on routine, gentle handling, and steady companionship. I'm experienced in administering oral and injectable medications and comfortable supporting pets with medical or emotional needs. My beloved one-eyed senior cat, Stormy, lived to 17 and taught me the value of patience, observation, and compassionate care. Now I share my home with Sasha, a shy rescue who reminds me every day how trust, patience, and kindness help build strong bonds with animals. While cats are my specialty, I also have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have the most hands-on walking experience with dogs 40 pounds and under and always provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet's individual needs.

Ratings and reviews
Steph was absolutely wonderful with Armani! 😸🤍 She was so friendly and truly a cat whisperer—Armani warmed up to her so well! She kept me updated, was super communicative, and sent plenty of the cutest pictures (I’m definitely saving some 🥹). I felt so comfortable knowing Armani was in good hands. I’ll absolutely be booking Steph from here on out! 🐾💕
excellent choice to hire Steph to care for Rick, our family cat - reliable service each day - andvtimeky updates
Steph H did a wonderful job watching over my two kitties! She took pictures of them every single day and left an in detailed note describing how their visit was. She even asked if it was all right to play with them with a laser pointer that she brought from home, which they enjoyed. She followed all of my instructions and left their bowls and litter boxes clean. 10/10 would recommend ❤️
Always reliable! We've booked many times with Steph and highly recommend her!
Steph provided responsible and compassionate care - highly recommend her for caring for your pet - it was great reading her enjoying each visit...

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I specialize in drop-in visits and am available 6:00–8:00 AM and 3:30–9:00 PM. These windows work well for meals, potty breaks, medications, playtime, and companionship. I schedule visits carefully so each pet receives dependable, unhurried care while maintaining their normal routine.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsSteph can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
- Meet & Greet Requirement All new clients are required to schedule a meet and greet before the first booking. This gives us a chance to make sure we're a great fit and allows me to learn about your pet's personality, routine, medications, and any special care needs. Peace of Mind For added peace of mind, I carry my own pet sitter liability insurance in addition to the Rover Guarantee. Weekday Availability Weekday drop-in visits are available from 6:00 AM–8:00 AM and 3:30 PM–9:00 PM. Weekend availability offers additional flexibility. I specialize in dependable drop-in visits that keep your pet's routine consistent while you're at work or away from home. For puppies, dogs that are still potty training, or dogs without doggie door access, I generally recommend at least three drop-in visits per day to provide frequent potty breaks and help keep them comfortable. We'll discuss the best schedule for your pet during the meet and greet.
