Experienced veterinary professional

Pet care experience

I am currently working within the veterinary professional field with a love for all kinds of animals! I have owned dogs, cats and exotic animals growing up. I currently own 2 cats who I absolutely adore. I have worked in animal shelters and a veterinary clinic in Canada where I am from before vet school. I did my preclinical studies at Ross University which is a vet school on St. Kits in the Caribbean! There I had learned medicine, proper care for animals, emergency medicine, and much more! I am certified in CPR and fear free as well. Also, if you have any exotic animals that need to be cared for, I am more than happy to provide my services.

Stephanie was great with our kitties. Mimi & Sammy (even our elusive Bella❤️) loved her visits & the attention she gave them. Stephanie took great care to make sure they were fed, watered & the boxes scooped. She was reliable & we knew we could depend on her to be on time for her visits. Loved the photos she took of the kitties & how responsive she was to my texts. We will definitely have her come for kitty visits in the future.

My cats were instantly relaxed around Stephanie! I will definitely see if she is available next time I need someone to check in on them while I’m away for the weekend. Thank you!!

Stephanie was absolutely amazing with our girls! They warmed up to her right away and she got the best pictures of them. I was at ease knowing they were in her care while we were away.

Stephanie is amazing! She connected with our 11-year-old, fear-reactive dog, Lady, right away. She understood that Lady needed space and handled their first meeting perfectly—calm and drama-free. We’re so thankful!"

I would love to know if you pet has any medical or behavioural needs ahead of time. I would also love to know if there are any allergies, what your pet loves and does not like, and any other information you may think I should know!

I love to stimulate your dog both mentally and physically. If your dog loves being outdoors, we will be sure to spend plenty of time on walks and playing outside. If you dog/cat loves to cuddle or play indoors, I would be able to provide the best cuddles and playtime!
