Availability
I currently work full-time, so I am primarily available for weekend walks and care. However, I am in the process of transitioning pet care into my full-time career! This means that while my current weekday hours are limited, I am incredibly dedicated and focused during my available windows. I am very responsive and will always make sure your pet’s routine is maintained exactly as you prefer.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pets at home, I respect your space. I wipe their paws if it's wet outside and ensure that your home is exactly as I found it, with a very happy pet waiting for your return. I will also check all locks and gates, if applicable.
Information Stephanie H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific medical needs, dietary restrictions, or unique behaviors. I have experience and feel comfortable handling dogs that pull on the leash or bark at distractions. I am also happy to administer oral medications or ear and eye drops if necessary. While I love all dogs, I have a personal preference for medium to large breeds. Knowing your pet's favorite commands and preferred "high-value" treats will help me ensure they have a safe, structured, and enjoyable time while in my care!
A typical day
My goal is to make every walk an adventure while maintaining your pet's established routine. I focus on providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation, whether that means exploring "new smells" in the neighborhood, playing interactive games, or visiting a nearby park to ensure they are happy and tired by the time we get home. You can expect your pet to be well-cared for and your home to be left exactly as I found it, giving you total peace of mind while you're away.

Pet care experience
I have a deep, genuine passion for animals—both my own furry family members and yours. I’m the person who will always stop and ask to pet your dog; I just can’t resist a "wiggle butt." I am also Certified in CPR, First Aid, & Care for dogs and cats. With over 30 years of experience as a devoted pet owner and caregiver, I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own. My expertise focuses on providing a stable, nurturing environment for adult dogs and senior pets who may require a gentler touch or medication administration. I have experience walking dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I pride myself on reading an animal's unique cues to ensure they feel safe, happy, and understood while you’re away.

Reviews
Stephanie was wonderful! She was so attentive to what I needed for my dogs! She sent great pictures, asked pertinent questions, was reliable and very personable! She even watered my plants and left me a lovely note! I would definitely try to have her stay again!
Stephanie is one of the best. She is very caring and goes above and beyond for the fur kids. We greatly appreciate her.
Stephanie did great communicating with me before and during her visits with my cat, Winnie. She also sent plenty of photos and updates. Definitely recommend!
I have known Stephanie for over five years. She is a responsible, loving, and dependable pet caregiver. Stephanie has volunteered in animal rescue and genuinely cares about the well-being of every animal she meets. As a devoted mom to both a dog and a cat, she treats all pets like her own children, providing safe, patient, and compassionate care. Over the years, she has fostered animals and adopted several who were looking for forever homes. Any furbaby would be lucky to be in her care.
