Pet care experience

Brossard dog party

Over the past 6 years, I’ve gained hands-on pet care experience through both my own dog and client pets, including cats, bunnies, pig and a bird. As a dog owner, I’m diligent about daily care, exercise, and routine, ensuring dogs receive 3–4 walks a day for both physical and mental stimulation. I’m also Pet First Aid certified, giving me confidence in handling minor injuries and emergencies. Through caring for client pets, I’ve learned to meet the unique needs of different animals. With cats, I’m attentive to behavior, feeding, grooming, litter maintenance, and early signs of illness. My experience with bunnies includes proper diet, grooming, and monitoring for digestive issues. For birds, I’ve provided safe, enriching environments, proper diets, and daily social interaction. Overall, I’m experienced in managing a variety of pets, adapting to their individual needs, and prioritizing their health, safety, and well-being.

Je recommande vivement Stéphanie pour la garde d'animaux. Elle s'est montrée extrêmement responsable tout au long de mon absence. Elle a suivi scrupuleusement toutes mes instructions concernant les repas et les soins de Charlie et Marcel. (Micro-cochon et chat) J'ai reçu des nouvelles régulières avec des photos, ce qui m'a rassurée pendant mon absence. À mon retour, Marcel et Charlie étaient détendus et heureux, et la maison était impeccable. Sa ponctualité, son attention aux détails et son véritable amour des animaux en font une gardienne de confiance. Je n'hésiterai pas à faire appel à ses services à nouveau.

Stephanie has been our go-to dog sitter for Dalton, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. Knowing that Dalton is in her care gives us complete peace of mind whenever we’re away. She is reliable, caring, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. It’s clear from the moment you meet her that she treats every pet as if they were her own. Dalton is always excited to see her, which says everything about the bond they’ve built. We always come home to a happy, and well-cared-for dog, and Stephanie keeps us updated throughout our time away, which we truly appreciate. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for your furry family member, Stephanie is an excellent choice. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her!

I can’t recommend Stephanie highly enough! From the very beginning she was professional, kind and caring. I received regular updates, photos and messages. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can completely trust. Thanks for taking wonderful care of Cracker Jack!

Stéphanie m'a rassuré durant mes vacances en m'envoyant des nouvelles et des photos de Léo qui se faisait garder pour la première fois. Elle en a pris grand soin et il est revenu en pleine forme. J'ai d'autres voyages de planifiés et je vais faire garder Léo en toute confiance chez elle. Merci beaucoup Stéphanie

Calendar and availability

Schedule

My daily routine is structured to provide consistent care and attention. I’m up at 7:00 a.m. and begin the day with the first walk and feeding. Dogs receive 3–4 walks per day, spaced out to allow for regular exercise and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I work from home 7-3pm, so I’m generally available, but I kindly ask for at least 30 minutes’ notice before drop-off or pick-up in case I’m in a meeting or out on a walk with a dog. Drop-offs and pick-ups are available between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. I’m in bed by 9:30 p.m. to maintain a calm nighttime routine. To respect my neighbours, I manage arrivals and departures carefully and avoid late-night or early-morning doorbell use to minimize barking and noise.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide calm, reliable care tailored to each pet. My house is a quiet environment. Dogs get 3–4 walks a day, cats receive daily care and attention, and small pets like bunnies and birds are kept clean, fed, and comfortable with proper enrichment. I’m Pet First Aid certified, keep a close eye on health and behavior, and always send updates and photos. My goal is simple: happy, comfortable pets while you’re away.

A typical day

Dogs: I tailor activities to each dog’s energy level with regular neighborhood walks. We play games like fetch or tug, use puzzle toys and light training to keep their minds busy, and enjoy calm social time with other friendly dogs when appropriate. Cats: Cats get interactive play with wand toys or lasers, puzzle feeders for mental stimulation, and enrichment like cat trees or boxes. For cuddly cats, I also make time for gentle grooming and quiet snuggle time.

1. General Information: Names, ages, and species of each pet. Knowing their breed or species helps me understand their specific needs, such as exercise levels for dogs, dietary requirements for rabbits, or environmental preferences for birds. Health history and medical needs: It’s essential to know about any ongoing health issues, medications, allergies, or special treatments that pets may require. I want to be sure I’m aware of any signs to watch for or emergency procedures in case something goes wrong. Veterinarian contact details: I always want to have the contact information for the pet's regular vet or an emergency vet, just in case I need professional advice or care. Their vet booklet with vaccines information 2. Behavior and Personality: Temperament: Is the pet shy or outgoing? How do they interact with people, other pets, and strangers? This will help me manage expectations and know how to approach them in a way that makes them feel comfortable. Likes and dislikes: What does the pet enjoy doing? Do they love being petted or prefer solitude? Do they have favorite toys or treats? Are there any activities they dislike, like baths, loud noises, or being handled in a certain way? Behavioral quirks: It’s useful to know about any specific habits or behaviors that might need attention, such as chewing, excessive barking, scratching, or fear of certain things. This way, I can prevent any issues from escalating and ensure a smooth routine. 3. Daily Routines: Feeding schedule and food preferences: I need to know when and how much to feed each pet, including any dietary restrictions or allergies. You must provide their food. Exercise and play needs: It’s important to know how often they should be walked, how much playtime they require, and if there are any games or activities they particularly enjoy (like fetch or tug-of-war). Bathroom habits: For dogs, I need to know how often they typically go outside for bathroom breaks. For cats, it’s important to provide the litter box and litter. 4. Living Environment: Are your pets allowed on the couch or bed. Where do they normally sleep at night? Pet-proofing: Are there any areas in the home where the pets shouldn’t go, or are there hazards I need to be aware of? Do they jump the counters to eat food, chew shoes or destructive at all? Other pets : are they reactive to cats, dogs, squirrels, groundhogs etc 5. Emergency Plans: Emergency contact information: I need to know who to contact in case of an emergency. Emergency procedures: I should be made aware of any first-aid plans or medications in case of an emergency. For example, does the pet have an allergy that could require an epinephrine shot, or are there certain steps to take in case of a pet seizure or injury? 6. Special Instructions: Comfort items or routines: Does the pet have favorite toys, blankets, or items that help them feel secure? Training or behavioral considerations: Are there any behavioral issues that need to be addressed, such as separation anxiety, aggressive tendencies, or leash pulling? Do they have specific commands. Schedules for grooming or care: Does the pet have a grooming routine (for example, bathing or brushing)? If they require specific treatments like flea medication or nail clipping, it’s important to know when and how to handle these tasks. 7. Updates and Communication Preferences: Preferred updates: by app or text Instructions on administering medication: If the pet is on medication, I need to know the schedule, dosage, and how to administer it correctly.
