Pet care experience
Hello! I started pet sitting as anyone does, for neighbors and friends. It was my favorite way to see animals since I didn’t have any of my own. Later on I adopted my dog Layla. In her I found my passion of helping animals and ultimately decided to dedicate my life to working with them. I currently work for an animal shelter. There I have learned compassion, how to read your individual pets body language and help them through any situation we may encounter. I have been trained to handle most kinds of dogs and cats, whether it be fearful, or playful cats, reactive, or scared dogs. I will treat your furry one with as much love and patience as I do my own. I can administer medications as needed as well.
Reviews
Stephanie was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond to care for my cat and provided frequent updates and pictures. I could tell she loves animals and knows how to treat them well. Cannot recommend Stephanie enough!
Stephanie is wonderful and went above and beyond! Was a great experience having her check in on our two kitties while we were gone. One is incredibly shy and Stephanie was able to get her to come close within a few days! Will definitely be using Stephanie the next time we leave town.
This was my second time with Stephanie, she is amazing!
I was nervous about leaving Lennon alone for the first time, but Stephanie calmed all my fears and took great care of him. She sent me multiple pictures after each visit and even stayed late one day to spend extra time with him when he seemed lonely. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Lennon and I will definitely book again :)
