Great availability for cats & dogs!
Pet care experience
* I CANNOT DO LUNCH DROP INS DURING WEEKDAYS - I work normal business hours* Please also be aware of the fact that for house sitting requests, I generally will not be “full time” in the sense that I will need to go home to feed my cats 2x a day, go to gym, grocery shop, social plans, etc. When requesting, if I have longer social plans, I will make you aware. Normal day to day of feeding my cats, gym, groceries are to be expected for any sitting request. Hey there! I'm Stephanie :) I would love to love on your fur babies while you are away for short or longer periods of time. Pictures, daily updates, medications, specific schedules, you got it! I grew up with German Shepards and small dogs alike (in addition to many caged critters) - Currently, I own two 8 year old cats! I love animals and would love to help you and make sure you are comfortable - I enjoy conversing and figuring out details to help calm you down and to make sure I’m confident in all expectations. If you're that helicopter dog or cat parent (I am, so it's okay), I'll be happy to send you updates and pictures throughout their stay :) I can follow a particular diet and walk schedule (around a normal work schedule of 8-5). Weekends there will be more walks and potty breaks!
Reviews
Stephanie is fantastic, definitely eased my anxiety about being away from my cat for so long!
Stephanie was so responsive and helpful! She made us feel completely comfortable having her in our home and our cat loves her!
I will definitely use Stephanie again! She house sat for me and watched my dog. She kept me updated with how my dog was doing and sent pictures. 10/10 would recommend!
Stephanie is the absolute best! She gives such peace of mind when I’m away from my baby “Louie!” She checks in every day with pictures and she definitely figured out all my boy’s little shy quirks. Everything looked great when I returned and my baby was a happy boy! Thank you so much, Stephanie!!!!

Safety, trust & environment
Since I come into your home, i make sure I either verbally confirm expectations or have you write them down. Or both! Following your home rules :)
Information Stephanie V. would like to know about your pet
I like to know their interests, routines, things I need to avoid, and anything you believe is pertinent! Every dog/cat is different and having a new person with them can sometimes be stressful. So i appreciate all the information!
A typical day
I try to keep them on their familiar routes and types of activities, be it low level or high level, so as to not make them stressed or nervous.

Availability
I currently work full-time, so a normal weekday schedule around 8-5 or anytime on weekends. Also very reliable for holidays as I tend to stay in town!
