RN who loves to pet sit on the side
Pet care experience
*** April 2024 update -- I will be back in Connecticut starting in May ! Looking forward to seeing my animal friends again ! ❤️ Hi!! My name is Steph! I am a registered nurse but I love to pet/house sit and walk dogs on the side ! I also just got pet CPR and first aid certified (see in my pictures)!! I would love to help you out and care for your dog(s), cat(s), any animal! As a registered nurse, caring, kindness, reliability, and good communication are all in my nature. I am conveniently located in Middlebury and can easily travel to nearby towns including: Southbury, Woodbury, Oxford, Watertown, Naugatuck, Waterbury, etc ! I can travel outside this radius for a travel fee. I offer dog walking, drop in visits, overnight house sitting, and I may be able to accommodate doggy day care and dog sitting at my home. I am happy to provide house sitting because it allows your pets be comfortable at home versus in an unfamiliar and scary kennel. It also gives you peace of mind knowing they are happy and safe at home and that your home is being responsibly cared for. My style of housesitting is making your home my new home base for the length of the booking. I work three overnight (11pm-7am) shifts a week. So other than work, errands, check ins on my house and family, I will be at your house with your pets :) I can also dog sit/doggy day care (smaller-medium dogs) at my house. I only take up to two dogs from the same family at a time, so they will get my full attention and you won't have to worry about how they may get along with other dogs! Please feel free to contact me with questions and let me know what your specific needs are for your pets/house sitting. I always do meet and greets, free of charge, with new clients to meet my new animal friend(s) and discuss a customized care plan in person :) Thank you for looking at my profile! Hope to hear from you soon !
Reviews
Very happy with Steph's house/pet sitting for me! I have a lot of animals, and she did a great job!
Thank you for walking them in the rain today! You're the best!!
Steph is my ace. She’s always on point. Always helpful and positive. She’s amazing with my cat and respects my home. I highly recommend her.
Stephanie showed up right on time, took my 2 dogs for a walk long enough to tire them out and make them calm for when I got home. My puppy is a bit hyper and she handled her perfectly. Thank you Stephanie!

Safety, trust & environment
I follow the feeding schedule/any instructions you provide. Fresh water given frequently. I make sure using the bathroom is a priority, so for dogs, being let outside as much as possible, for cats, clean litter box(es). All medications are given safely. I make sure I spend quality time with your pet. Whatever their needs are.... Playing, cuddling/petting, going for walks, treats, etc, I make it happen ! I make certain your pets are safely inside and your house is secure before I leave.
