Pet care experience
I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, and currently a fur baby Mom to 8 rescue cats! I also grew up with 3 big dogs (a Samoyed, Siberian Husky and an Alaskan Malamute). I am early retired from a Director level position in the technology industry and now have lots of time on my hands. I have a pet sitter for my own fur babies, so I know the piece of mind that provides for me, and now I want to provide that for others. My experience in pet care is from having my own fur babies, and caring for family and friends pets over the years.
Reviews
Stephanie took loving, wonderful care of our aging 13 yo Lab who has multiple health issues. Stephanie is incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, caring, and appropriately communicative. She was able to get our dog to take her med and eat well, which can be difficult. She also washed dog floor pads when our dog had accidents (part of her health issues). I completely trust her judgment and have already booked another few days for her to care for our dog. Stephanie asks good questions and provides informative, detailed updates. She’s the best caregiver!
Stephanie helped us out a lot when my wife went into labor and we needed someone quickly to watch our senior dog. She was super communicative and gave us all the reassurance we needed that our dog was in good hands.
Stephanie is the BEST! First time using Rover, ever, and had total peace of mind while away. She gave the best daily updates, walked my dog numerous times a day, and was so attentive. I was on a trip with my mom and she kept on asking to read the updates from Stephanie and wished her dogs were with her 😊… my house was spotless when I got back too! 100/10. Will definitely rebook with Stephanie!
Stephanie stayed a weekend in our home with our dog. She was great! She sent lots of updates and photos. We have a somewhat anxious dog, and Stephanie was here to make sure she stayed calm. The house was very clean when we returned. She even vacuumed the room she stayed in! We will definitely use Stephanie to help with our dog in the future.
About Stephanie B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I communicate with pet owners to understand behavior, care & feeding needs and medical conditions. I always complete a daily log of pet general wellbeing and any significant happenings. I will send Texts / Photos/ Videos for owner piece of mind while away. I am also able to identify pet concerns (Behavioral and Medical), and I will do small things that make a big difference like bringing in mail / taking out trash / watering plants while owner is away. I know basic animal first aid for cats and dogs, and can provide medication administration (orally or by IV (aka diabetics) if needed). I am reliable, trustworthy, patient and calm during emergencies. I have excellent communication, problem solving and situational awareness skills to make sure your fur baby is safe at all times!
Information Stephanie B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know what their normal (good days) are like and also their abnormal (bad days) are like. How to feed/water, any medications they take (amount/frequency), how they take them (pill pocket, peanut butter, cheese, injection). What are they allergic to? What limitations do they have (ie. walking no running). How do they react with other animals? Cats, dogs on the street, etc. How many times a day do they typically like to go out to "do their business"/play/walk. Any injuries now or previously? Anything specific the owner would like to provide.
A typical day
Dogs and Cats need to be stimulated in many ways, and I do pretty much whatever the pet is able to tolerate, whether that's affection, walking, running, play dates, dog parks, walking paths, playing catch, frisbee, tug of war, brushing, catnip, etc.
