Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Happy Hearts! 💕 🐶🐈

Please Read My Reviews On Rover because the Best Recommendation is a Client that I have already Cared for Their Beloved Pet. I am located approximately 3-4 miles from *Siesta Key and I can provide Pet Care Services for Vacationers and/or Local Residents, plus I can also provide a pickup service for your dog/cat under 40lbs. Our dogs and our cats are more than just pets but are a part of our families. I have over 29+ yrs experience caring for dogs & cats, plus I am PetCPR+ Certified. I’m a former Radiology CAT Scan Technologist Healthcare worker 25 + yrs. now HOME FULL TIME. My Maltipoo, Naunie, loves being around other dogs and enjoys the dogs from Rover. Lots of snuggles, cuddles, & treats! From puppies to seniors I will Administer medication or injections when necessary and I will feed, nurture, and care for your dog. Overall I will provide your dog/cat with a loving home to make time away from owners more comfortable, plus peace of mind knowing your beloved pet is in a safe environment. I am home full-time. Bathroom breaks or leash walks every 2-3 hrs or when your pet “has to go”. Your pet is always on a leash outside with me. Lots of space outside for your pet to explore with me On a Leash. If you request to have your pet crated, I can crate your pet. Many potty breaks throughout the day on leash.

We are so grateful to have found Stephanie. Our sweet poodle Justice came home the day before from surgery and we were nervous to leave her with a stranger. However Stephanie's calm presence and obviously love for animals came through and Justice was very open to her. Stephanie communicated with us while we were away as well as shared photos. I look forward to having Stephanie come again or Justice going to her home.

We were away for 10 days, and Stephanie stayed at our home to care for our dog, Lexington. She was thorough, reliable, and had excellent communication—sending daily photos and updates. Lexington was so happy and well cared for, and our home was in perfect condition when we returned. We can’t recommend Stephanie enough!

Extremely responsive, super organized and most importantly, has already established a great relationship with my special needs dog after only one visit. Not afraid to care for my pooch, provide oral medication or keep my fur baby safe if she should have a seizure while we are away. Highly recommend!

Stephanie did a great job with my "babies"! I came home and everyone was happy and healthy. She sent updates and made me less stressed to be away from them.
