Safety, trust & environment
I pay special attention to all needs a pet has as every pet is unique. I have extensive experience with pets who have special dietary needs and/or need to take pills. I provide regular updates, photos, and videos about how a pet is doing and send a prompt alert if a pet seems unwell or anything else seems concerning.
Information Stephanie K. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know if your pet has any special needs such as medications or allergies. If I am caring for a dog I will need to know if there is anything they are fearful of on walks and how they interact with other dogs (such as are leash greetings ok, should we steer clear of any other dogs we see).
A typical day
When I am spending time with a cat it all depends on if the cat is more lowkey and primarily enjoys pets or if they want to play with their favorite toys. I always follow the lead of the cat to see how they want to play or hang out. Inwood Hill Park and Fort Tryon Park are my favorite places for dog walking as there are many trails to hike and explore and also fields where we can get some playtime in.

Pet care experience
I have been cat and dog sitting (plus one rabbit!) on my own since college and grew up in a home where I helped my mom pet sit for exotic small pets such as guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits. I also have experience with turtles from growing up with a family turtle. As a current cat mom I understand how stressful it is for pets to leave their home environment when their family is away. I am happy to provide in home visits along with daily (or twice daily) reports on how your pet is doing. I am currently not able to provide in home boarding for cats and dogs although I can host a small animal (rodents, reptiles) in a room that is securely closed and not accessible to my cat. I am available for short overnight visits in the upper Manhattan area (generally one or two nights only). When I am not working as a consultant, exploring NYC, or pet sitting, I enjoy spending time with my tabby cat Camilla.

Reviews
Stephanie has been absolutely amazing looking after our two cats whilst we’ve have been away on vacation - she is so reliable, trustworthy and kind. She is also amazing at keeping us updated with her detailed reports and photos. The cats have loved having her come in every day! We will definitely have Stephanie come back and look after them when we next go on vacation. We would 100% recommend her!!
I completely trust Stephanie with my cat. She’s caring and keeps me informed on how my cat is doing. She’s the best!
The best sitter - caring and thorough. I have peace of mind knowing Stephanie will be caring for my cat.
Stephanie was a great sitter. She was consistent with her visit time. She provided many photos and a detailed report for each visit. My cats really seemed to enjoy her. I have one who is very shy and he warmed right to her. I will definitely use her again!
