Full time walker+sitter since 2016
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Stephanie, and I've had the pleasure of being a full time dog walker and housesitter beginning in 2016. I started at a Boston-based luxury petcare startup called Baroo from August 2016-February 2018, where I also received professional training. I transitioned to my own business February 2018-July 2020 until I relocated to Canada. I was fortunate to start back up around March 2022 when I finally received my PR 🇨🇦 Since I mostly worked independently from 2016 to 2020, I can happily provide additional references upon request. During my career, I've built such rewarding friendships with the animals I see. I love getting to know them, and seize the chance to make their days a little more special. I want to continue cultivating amazing relationships with dogs and cats! Please note that I do not book services without a meet & greet first. Additionally, I'm highly communicative with all pet parents. I love sending detailed updates and pictures, all while guaranteeing transparency and attention to detail.
Reviews
Stephanie did an amazing job, as usual, looking after our dog Charlie and our house when we were away for a 2 week vacation. Charlie was well looked after with lots of love and attention! Stephanie kept in close contact and let us know if any problems arose with Charlie or the house, as well as providing many photos of Charlie daily at our request! We came home to a happy dog and a clean house.
Stephanie looked after my old kitty Sunny, accommodating a demanding schedule of 10 consecutive days. She kept us updated on daily visits and provided pictures. She was very respectful of Sunny's space. We will be using her services again in the future.
Stephanie was an amazing sitter. She updated us throughout the day about our girls, and treated them like her own. Kasha and cosmos looked happy in every photo she sent us. They were happy and worn out when we returned. If we weren’t moving to Prince Rupert I’d definitely hire her again, and I recommend her to anyone who is anxious about leaving their fur babies at home.
Stephanie is always friendly, caring and reliable. She genuinely gets to know the character of each pet and is superb with my two seniors. Thank you for always being available to look after my fur babies!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Being on the same page is my top priority when entrusted with your loved one(s), for the sake of everyone involved. Regarding care in my home or yours, I always confirm and respect all instructions and preferences. I also don't hesitate to ask questions if anything seems unclear.
Information Stephanie H. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know notable personality traits (i.e. if they're timid/slow to warm up, have particular dislikes or quirks, reactivity etc) medical history, allergies if applicable. Conversely, it's good to know anything they especially love! It's overall helpful to know anything that will make their visit fulfilling and comfortable.
A typical day
I love taking pups around their neighborhoods, or any other favored spots like parks or trails! I will never take your dog off-leash without explicit permission, or anywhere besides a secure fenced area. Whether your pup likes to stop and smell the roses or is more of a jock, I'm happy to accommodate. I also like to relax and give cuddles after walks if that's their thing. In times of extreme inclement weather, I will also keep you in the loop of any supplementary activities (such as compensating with playtime in the case of an extreme weather situation).

Availability
For housesitting, I am away up to six hours daily maximum as I have other daily walk and drop-in clients. For walks and drop-ins, I have more flexible availability in the evening but can accommodate if you’re near my other daytime clients. Feel free to ask!
