Animal Loving Biologist + Vet Tech

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Stephanie. I am 28 years old and I have a B.S. in Biology. I work at a Clinical Lab biotech company full time 9-5:30 M-F (off weekends). I have one year Vet Tech experience working at an animal hospital. I have also interned at the Giant Ocean Tank at the New England Aquarium as an aquarist as well as at the Live Animal Center at the Museum of Science as a zoologist. I have worked with and learned to care for over 100 species of animals. I have had around 30 pets myself during my life ranging from cats, birds, rodents, rabbits, frogs, etc. I am aware that this site is mostly meant for the care of dogs, which I am confident in, but I can also do check-ins on exotics. I am responsible and hardworking. My vet tech training has made me comfortable administering all types of medications including insulin.

Stephanie was great with my cats. My high maintenance senior cat got his meds, his special diet and some love while I was away. The piece of mind was well worth it.

Stephanie took great care of our 2 cats while we were away for a week. She was awesome about checking in and sending photos. From the photos we could see that out cats were so comfortable with her and loved playing! We even have a "problem cat" who is very unfriendly around strangers but Stephanie took great care of her.

Stephanie took wonderful care of my two cats while I was away for a week. One of them tends to be dubbed a "problem cat" by my friends due to her unfriendliness and hissing/batting/running at strangers. But Stephanie didn't let that scare her away, and my kitty was tolerating her presence a couple days in, which is a big win. I was sent pictures of my cats. And I came home to a pair of happy and comfortable animals. I would definitely book Stephanie again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I am always very cautious while i’m sitting to make sure the pups or kitties don’t get into anything they’re not supposed to and to keep the house neat with no guests.

Information Stephanie A. would like to know about your pet

Please be honest and let me know if your dog/cat has any special needs or is aggressive in nature. I can handle these pets but it’s something I like to know going in.

A typical day

I believe in long walks for dogs as it’s mentally and physically stimulating and they deserve it after being in a house all day. I’m a physically fit person and enjoy the exercise myself

I work M-F 9-5:30pm so I’d most likely be able to sit for a weekend type booking. With that being said, i can sit weekdays if your pets can be alone for around 9 hours.
