Information stephanie g. would like to know about your pet

Things I'd like to know: any medications needed, favorite toys, if they eat treats, medical history, vet info, where they like to be pet (and where should I avoid), although I'm good at reading body language).. anything you feel like I need to know (:

A typical day

For cat sitting: I have a routine I follow each visit! First we eat the amount you usually give you cats, replenish water. Then we clean out litter box. Next, we do treats ( teach them tricks if they're treats driven!) followed by play time. Lastly we have down time whether it's haning on the floor or lounging wherever they prefer, scratches throughout each visit!

Accommodate to preference and needs

Pet care experience

I love all living things (minus insects) that can warm my heart (: Dogs, cats, birds.. you name it! I literally put myself in their shoes to understand and listen to their needs, whether it's hunger or simply needing some TLC, and becasue of this they always feel safe with me (: Animals way of communicating with us humans is by energy. Your cat/pet will feel the love I have and they will demonstrate that with his/her behavior around me. I also have a cat of my own, since he was 4 weeks old and he is now 12 years old! So I think i'm pretty much a cat expert now haha. Things that make me a bit special is my pure heart in a world that can be a bit cold, I go above and beyond to accomodate to you and your pets preferences, I'm attentive, reliable and fun (: Anything you need me to do with your beloved pet while you're away, I will fulfill that and more! Cats/pets (and humans) are creatures of habit. With my 8+ years of experience of cat sitting, I've built a routine for each visit that is tailored to your cats unique personality that ensures they're getting all their needs met and they look forward to (:

Stephanie is wonderful. She is a cat owner who gets their idiosyncrasies. My scaredy cat took to her- High praise indeed. I had no doubt that my pets were in good hands and will definitely reach out to her again.

Stephanie was amazing with my little boy. She shared regular updates and made sure Dante got his food on time (he has dietary restrictions). Dante loved hanging out with her.

Stephanie took amazing care of our cat Penelope during drop in visits. She was incredibly quick to respond, proactive, and took care of our cat as if she was her own. I completely trust Stephanie and am looking forward to booking with her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
