Safety, trust & environment

I will come over and ensure your home is safe and secure upon entering and leaving. If they’re not sleeping in the living room I’ll go find them in the house and get them outback in your fenced yard or on a walk to get their potty and exercise break in.

Information Stephanie K. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful for the pet owner to provide upfront information like any specific dietary restrictions or feeding schedules, exercise needs or limitations, any medical conditions, or medications, emergency, contact information in case of unexpected situations, and favorite toys or activities that your pet enjoys. Having this information upfront will ensure that I can provide the best care possible for your pet and Taylor their activities to suit their individual needs and preferences.

A typical day

When pet sitting, I believe it’s important to engage the pets in fun and stimulating activities to keep them entertained and happy. Some activities I have done with pets include playing with toys, going for walks, playing fetch in the yard, cuddles and petting sessions and offering treats for good behavior.

Pet care experience

I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well. No matter the age, the work day is a long time for them to be alone and I’ll get them outside for potty and back in for some pets and snuggles.

We absolutely loved Stephanie K's care of our boys for the week. She came many times, played with Beau and Gideon, and said they were perfect gentlemen. Beau is an 85 lb golden and Gideon is our old man boxer mix. I did not feel so guilty leaving them home while we went to the beach with Stephanie K taking such good care of them. She sent us updates and pictures every day also. I would highly recommend her for taking care of your precious pups.

We couldn’t be more grateful for Stephanie’s incredible care of our dog, Teddy, while we were on vacation. Our travel plans changed multiple times due to weather, but Stephanie was so flexible and understanding, which made everything much less stressful for us. Not only did she look after Teddy, but she also went the extra mile by taking him to play with other Australian Shepherds, which we know he loved! It was clear that Stephanie genuinely cares about animals, and Teddy had a wonderful time with her. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!

I’m thrilled to recommend Stephanie as a dog walker and sitter. Over the past 8 years, she has cared for my dogs with so much love and attention that it feels like they’ve become part of our family. From the moment Stephanie met our babies Axel, Bourbon, and Chevy, it was clear that she has a special way with animals. Our boys instantly warmed up to her, which says a lot since Chevy can sometimes be a little shy with new people. Whether it’s going on long walks, tossing a ball at the park, or just hanging out for belly rubs, Stephanie always seems to know exactly what my pup needs to feel happy and cared for. One thing I really appreciate is how communicative Stephanie is. Whenever I’m away, I get the best updates—photos of my dog looking like they’re having the time of their life, little notes about their behavior, and even funny stories that make me smile. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in such good hands. What sets Stephanie apart is their genuine love for animals and their ability to treat every dog like their own. I always feel 100% confident that my boys are safe, happy, and well-loved when she is around. If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, caring, and just amazing with dogs, I can’t recommend Stephanie enough. Allison Cesare

We always feel completely at ease knowing our pets are in great hands when we are away. I highly recommend her for any help you might need with your furry friends.
