Dog Mother, Animal Lover

Raised in a small-town, country setting, I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. My past-times were spent caring for our farm cats, rabbits, chickens and ducks. In our home, I cared for an array of small animals such as reptiles, fish, hamsters, and of course the family dog and cat.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 12, 2025

Stephanie J showed our Mickey such loving attention during his drop-in visit. He was so happy to have company, go outside and come back in for some cuddles. He really enjoyed working on his treat puzzle. We couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much!

For over a decade Steph has been our favorite sitter for our animals when my partner and I are out of town. Her willingness to stay at our house for extended periods was amazing. In the past she has taken care of our rats, mice, frog, crocodile skinks, bearded dragon, and our two dogs. For the last three years of our boxers life, she were coping with DM (Degenerative Myelopathy). We prolonged her life to the fullest possible. Steph dog sat numerous times during this difficult period. Daily tasks included preparing her special diet, handling her physically for potty breaks, and getting her in and out of her wheelchair for walks. As the paralysis progressed, this evolved into cleaning her and rotating her regularly. She always kept us updated and sent us pictures so we knew our animals were happy and thriving. Steph is one of the sweetest human beings I know. Our dogs love her, and she is very attentive and loving to our pets. She is prompt, flexible, friendly, has excellent communication and is overall a delight. I have no doubt she will provide the best care for any animal. I strongly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to walk or care for their fur babies.

Schedule

I was a Dog Mom to an adopted Chihuahua for 10 years. I'm familiar with classic quirky Chi attitudes as well as separation anxiety. 🌈 I'm currently a dog Mom to a 4-year-old, 11lb, Chi-Terrier-Pekingese mix, named Sam. He's a friendly, playful, and goofy pup who loves being social with other k9's. (Doggie playdate anyone)?
