Pet care fits into my routine while i am in between jobs & going to school so it is my full-time job as of right now. I’m usually free to book any days during the week which gives me plenty of time for longer visits and dedicated care. On busier personal days, I’m still willing to schedule drop-ins, walks, and check-ins around my daily routine, and make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized, reliable, and always plan my schedule to prioritize the pets I’m responsible for!!

About Stephania M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take time to understand each pet’s feeding schedule, exercise needs, & any special instructions or preferences. I make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. My priority is to make pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable while their owners are away!
Information Stephania M. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications ahead of time. I also like to learn about their personality, energy level, likes and dislikes, and any behavioral quirks or triggers. Knowing how your pet does with other animals, people, and new environments helps me provide the safest and most comfortable care possible. The more I know, the better I can ensure that your pet feels happy, secure, and at home.
A typical day
Whether it’s paws or whiskers, we’ll have tons of fun! I make sure every pet stays active, happy, & engaged. Dogs can enjoy walks, fetch, tug-of-war, and plenty of playtime to burn off energy, while cats can get interactive toy sessions, enrichment games, and cozy hangouts. I always match activities to each pet’s personality, whether that means zoomies and walks or calm cuddles and chin scratches so your pets can feel happy, loved, and at home.

Reliable & Loving Pet Caretaker :)
Pet care experience
I absolutely love animals and have been caring for, and looking after dogs, cats, (and any animals in-between) since i was very young!! I’m super comfortable handling & caring for dogs and have cared for dogs as small as 10 pounds and dogs as big as 130!! I had childhood pup who was a pitbull and we raised him from a puppy so i have lots of experience with high-energy dogs and larger and stronger breeds. I also understand the importance of structure, patience, and positive reinforcement. My experience with him taught me how to build trust, maintain consistency, and support a dog’s needs at every stage! I have experience with senior dogs, reactive dogs, needy dogs, shy dogs, puppies, ect. so there is a large spectrum of animals i’m able to care for :) I’d love to provide the attention & care your fur babies need!!

Reviews
Stephania has been doing check ins for my Dachshund puppy twice a day 3x a week for a few weeks now, and it is no easy task! At our first initial meeting, Stephania asked very detailed questions about her care, training, schedule, behavior, vet information, and also my expectations on what a day to day visit would look like. Her diligence reassured me that she is detailed oriented and really cares about providing the best care possible. She is very easy to contact, responds quickly, and openly communicates. My work schedule is very random, but Stephania goes above and beyond to work around it. Stephania is also very respectful of my home, and leaves it exactly as I left it, which I really appreciate. I also have cats in my home that she is not responsible for caring for, but will still show them love and attention anyways. Poppy and I appreciate everything she does, and I am confident in rebooking her again!
Stephania has been fantastic with my 115-pound dog, Cardi. During our initial meet and greet, she provided me with a comprehensive overview of her approach and was meticulous in gathering all the necessary information. She also set a positive tone with Cardi, making her feel comfortable and secure. I can confidently say that Cardi trusts Stephania completely, and she is incredibly reliable. Stephania always arrives on time and leaves detailed reports of their walks. As I needed a long-term dog walker, she has been walking Cardi for a few weeks now, and she’s doing great. I highly recommend Stephania to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring dog walker.
Stephania has been wonderful with my dog, trying all my commands and reinforcing the training I’m doing. She is very communicative and quick to respond. I look forward to having her walk my dog on an ongoing basis, and it’s clear my dog does too.
words. Stephania is extremely caring with all animals Taking her time to get to know the specifics about the animal and the demeanor so when approaching the animal it gives them a sense of safety and a comfortable environment while sensing her presence and enjoying the delicious and healthy treats she has to offer along with a toy that makes the setting much more interesting and playful for the animal to enjoy even several animals at a time when there's a great concern for the neighborhood strays Animals take to Stephania as if she were a sweet treat and great companion
