Small but comfortable home

Pet care experience

Your babies are welcome at my home and will find a comfortable space and lots of love. About this sitter: I am a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University and have a reliable vehicle so I am able to come by during the day to check on them. I am looking to supplement my income. I am an extremely responsible and loving adult that will take care of both your animals and your home. I have been dog and cat sitting for many years and feel that my clients have been more than happy with my services. References available on request. Why I love dog sitting I did not have pets growing up and did not discover my love of dogs until I was "fully grown" and now I can't imagine my life without them. My pups were rescues and meant the world to me. My experience administering medication I can usually manage to hide a pill in a treat and have experience with an older dog administering liquid medicine with a syringe , but I don't think I would feel comfortable administering a shot of any kind.

I am really grateful to Stefanie for doing such great job taking care of my cat Snifka while we were away for vacations. I had to reschedule and I really appreciate Stefanie's flexibility and willingness to help out. I strongly recommend this pet sitter you can rely on.

Stephanie was awesome with sitting Rocco. She kept us up to date and even sent pictures of the other dogs playing. Highly recommend!

Information Stephanie H. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs, but am better equipped to sit with smaller dogs. That being said, I just got back from sitting with one of the biggest Rottweilers I have ever seen. He is an absolute love.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog During the week day, I will be able to let them out in the morning, come back and check on them at lunch then be there all evening. Most weekends are spent reading and studying so I would be there most of the day as well.
