Safety, trust & environment

I am playful, active, calm, firm, responsible, and loving. Am diligent with feeding schedules and medicine, as required, and happy to walk far and wide, attend doggie play dates, or head to a dog park, if desired. I have also walked cats (which is not as weird as it sounds!) Attentive to cuddling needs as well!

Information Stephanie I. would like to know about your pet

Any favorite toys, games, walking paths, buddies (or not, if they’re not comfortable) is all information that helps them see me as a calm and safe refuge while you’re away.

A typical day

Walks, games both active and stimulating, loving affection and rubs, and a regular schedule are the hallmarks of my typical days, creating a calm oasis to help when they’re missing you.

Pet care experience

I would be so happy to take care of your furbabies! I’m the owner of Rory, aka Prinny Aurora, and a former adoption volunteer (FurKids in Atlanta) who will take care of your special one(s) with care, respecting your guidelines while appreciating their unique personality! You will always find me playing with the dog or petting the cat (they’re drawn to me!) at a party—making the best new friends. And like any good mom, my phone is full of pics of the fuzzy bellies and great expressive looks of my loves!

Stephanie was amazing with Ginny. I had to travel for a work trip and Stephanie agreed to watch Ginny on a short notice. What stood out was that Stephanie made efforts for meet and greet so we both could feel comfortable with the arrangements. I received regular updates and Ginny was well taken care of. Thank you so much.

Stephanie was amazing! I get so nervous leaving my cats but she made me feel so at ease and I was able to enjoy my trip and relax! I have one kitty who is very scared but only after a couple hours, she warmed up to Stephanie which told me how warm and kind she was with the cats. I feel so lucky that we were able to book her! She sent the cutest pictures and I could tell both cats felt really comfortable and happy. She was also super flexible with our schedule when we had to chnage our dates (twice!) Thank you Stephanie!!!

Stephanie was wonderful! It was the first time I was leaving Zoey with a sitter and Zoey can be leash reactive and has some special needs so I was nervous but she was amazing! She sent messages everyday with pictures so I could see Zoey was comfortable and happy and doing well. Zoey adored her always cuddling with her and she showered her with attention and care! Everything with Stephanie was so smooth so I could easily relax on my trip. Stephanie is a gem!
