Love dogs, cats, and exotics
Pet care experience
I have had both dogs and cats in my life since childhood. I have a senior dog and adult cat now, and adore them both. Comfortable with all elements of pet care, all breeds, and all personalities and energy levels. I am also comfortable caring for reptiles and exotics! (have my own beardie at home) My schedule allows me to walk my own dog three times a day. I reliably have evenings and weekends free, and am an early riser. I will ask you about your pet's preferred routine and care, and follow the same procedures to establish trust and ensure comfort on the part of the pet. I pay close attention to the non verbal cues pets give and adapt to their energy and preferred levels of engagement. I have a calm energy and dogs usually feel at ease with me quickly.
Reviews
Stephanie was great with our two cats, I could tell they were happy and well taken care of! Stephanie is friendly and personable!
Stephanie has been walking our girls for a few weeks now. The dogs warmed up to her immediately as soon as they met. She’s prompt and reliable and a pleasure to communicate with, as well. One of our dogs recently hurt her knee, and Stephanie has been flexible in adapting to this as well. I feel confident our dogs are getting attentive care with Stephanie and I definitely recommend her enthusiastically!
Very good experience after 2 bookings of 1 week. Our 2 cats and Stephanie quickly became friends, and we received nice pictures and videos every day. We were able to talk in real time in the Rover chat and share our requests to best adapt to the cats' needs.
Stephanie has watched my cat and turtle three times now and has been amazing every time! We just went on a longer trip and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for my babies while we are gone. She sends great updates everyday and is very detail oriented about their specific needs. It is great to have someone so reliable, especially for exotic pets as many people do not have experience with them!
About Stephanie K.

Skills
Information Stephanie K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you need care for a dog, cat, reptile, or other special pet, and if your pet has any special needs or anxieties. I am happy to work a very social dog to ensure some playtime and interaction with other dogs in a public place, or conversely, to find a quiet and peaceful route for a more anxious dog.
A typical day
I know all the local trails and informal dog parks in the area, and love to take my own dog on varied routes. Some dogs have energy to burn, and others like to take their time to smell all the interesting smells, so I'll adapt to the individual dog's preference. I also love to snuggle and play brain stimulating games with curious pups.
