Dog Bather, Lover, & Rescuer!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Stephanie. For as long as I can remember I have been a huge animal lover, so babysitting your dog would be something I would absolutely love to do. I grew up with a family full of animals and animal lovers, we've had all different types of animals including dogs, cats, fish, guinea pigs, and reptiles. Also, I have been riding horses since I was 4 years old and have owned my own horse since I was 14 years old. I've helped my trainer take care of her horses/cats/and dogs for many years and have had previous experience sitting for my friends pets when they leave town. I understand that pets are basically another member of someones family which is why I promise to love and care for your pet as if he/she were my very own and how much they mean to a person and how much they impact our lives. I've also rescued pit bulls that have changed my life so I've first hand known how much dogs can mean to someone and promise to put my full passion and effort into caring for yours. I'd love to stay in your home and take care of your beloved pups and home!. I am very respectable, responsible, and kind. Please feel free to contact me any time if you have any questions! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life, ever since I was born I've been surrounded by dogs of all breeds and sizes. My parents are firm believers in always having pets and they treat our dogs like they are members of the family. I've learned to appreciate how loyal and loving dogs and animals can be and how much love and care they deserve and need to receive. My experience administering medication I've administered medicine for my dogs at home, also for my horse when he got sick once. As long as I am provided with the instructions and the best way you've found to give your pet medicine (such as putting it in their food bowl or wrapping it in cheese) I am more than happy to do that for you.

Stephanie did a great job. I have had some bad dog sitters in the past and she was just the opposite. She sent updates and photos everyday and made sure the dogs got attention while I was gone. Highest recommendations!

Stephanie took excellent care of both of my dogs and her communication with me for the 10 days I was gone was outstanding.

Stephanie did a terrific job taking care of my two pit-bull mix dogs. She sent me text message updates to let me know how things were going while I was away. She is very trust worthy and responsible.

Stephanie was a great dog sitter. When I got back, my Duke didn't want to leave. Highly recommended.

Information Stephanie K. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds of dogs and any size is okay with me! The things I would like to know is if they take any medications, how they get along with other dogs, and if your dog is friendly or not.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in the South Scottsdale area which is a quiet and safe environment to walk dogs. I also live right next to El Dorado park and the green belt. I love taking dogs out to play and run. I am very good with walking dogs, even large ones, because I am used to my horse pulling at his lead rope and having to train him to properly walk with someone. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep anywhere he/she wants! I have no problem with giving up room on my bed or couch for your loved one or if you prefer a kennel/crate that is fine too. Time I'll spend with your dog I will spend as much time as needed with your dog. It is really up to you how many times a day you would like me to stop by and how long you want each visit to be but I am open to any requests! Extra house-sitting services Yes! I'm willing to take in mail and care for the home as long as there is a specific list of tasks to do and instructions on how you normally do them (i.e. time of the day mail comes, location of hose and cleaning products, etc.)
