Experienced Dog Trainer & Cat Owner

Pet care experience

I'm an experienced dog and cat owner and have 15 years experience training service dogs and advising pet owners. I love building relationships with my clients and getting to know their furry family members! While caring for your pets I can also offer basic or advanced training services. I use positive reinforcement methods and my goal is always to be someone that your pets are excited to see walk in the door. I know that trusting your pet's care to someone else is never easy, so I provide updates after every visit that outline what care was done, what training goals we worked on and how your pet responded. Whether you're looking for basic care services or more in depth training, I'd love to talk with you about creating a customized program.

Stephanie has connected like no one else with my cat. And she takes such good care of her. I have no worries when I am away!

Another trip that I didn't have to worry about my cats. Stephanie did a great job again.

Callie was well taken care of once again! She got lots of love and, although happy to see me back, was not overly needy.

Safety, trust & environment

I aim to care for and love your pets as if they were my own. I require a meet-and-greet session before initial bookings so that I can ensure your furry family members have met me, and so I can get detailed instructions on their care needs and preferences. I aim to keep their schedule and care as close to what they're used to as possible to minimize disruptions in their routine.

Information Stephanie F. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to hear about what preferences your pet has, as I aim to keep those routines and rituals as close to their norm as possible. If there are any special needs or concerns to watch for while you're gone it's important for me to know that ahead of time.

A typical day

I prefer to follow the dog or cat's lead on what activities they'd prefer. During the meet-and-greet I'd love for you to share favorite games and treats your pets enjoy. I'm happy to spend time sitting with the more shy, timid cat who needs quiet time in my presence to build up trust. I've also worked with outgoing, energetic pets who want to go-go-go from the minute I walk in. I love the range of personalities I get to work with in this job!

In addition to petsitting I do freelance work that I can schedule around my visits. I also homeschool my son, who often accompanies me as my assistant. He loves helping care for and play with all different kinds of pets! I do understand that not all pets or owners may be comfortable with that, however, and am happy to arrange to visit individually if possible.
