Availability
I work remote and have flexibility in my schedule to step in and help out when you might need a hand or find yourself in a bind! I have availability throughout the afternoons and evenings during the week and weekends. Meet and greets are required for first-time clients to help ensure that your pet has a fun and safe experience. Returning clients are welcome to reach out for same-day bookings! If you’re in a pinch and I’m available, I’m happy to help!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I’m used to free-roaming pets as well as crate-trained pups and am able to crate dogs if preferred. I enjoy walking dogs and am very cognizant of my surroundings, helping to keep walks safe and happy! If there are any special training traditions such as treats at certain points in a walk, just let me know so I can help keep it up!
Information stephanie k. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet is high or low energy, needs more or less engagement and if they have any special needs I can accommodate! I’m happy to do whatever I can to help make your pet’s experience great! I’m experienced in administering oral medications and eye drops and am happy to help with that, too! I’m also able to provide constant care during pet sits at and additional charge.
A typical day
Playing, snuggling and walking with pups are some of my favorite things to do! Tug, fetch, puzzle toys, snuffle mats - your pup names the game and I’m in! If they prefer a low key day, I’m good with that, too, of course. Sometimes all some pups want is a good belly rub!

Pet care experience
Hey! I’m Stephanie and I’ve cared for dogs and cats for nearly 20 years. I’ve been an animal lover all my life and am the first to greet the pet at a party. I have experience with all types of dogs of all ages including very large dog breeds such Bernese Mountain Dogs and Dobermans. I also have experience with cats of all ages, including seniors. I’d love to help you care for your pet and perhaps spoil your best bud a bit if extra treats are allowed! 🥰

Reviews
Stephanie is always such a great sitter! My cat Obie loooves her! Stephanie also helped changed our booking details when she noticed I accidentally booked two visits a day instead off one. She even got Rover to waive the cancellation fee. Thanks, Steph!!
Stephanie is just amazing and makes me so at ease when I’m out of town and away from my kitties! She sends thorough reports and pics every day. She also helps with the packages and deliveries while I’m out of town which I super appreciate! We love booking with Stephanie :)
Stephanie was fantastic! She left detailed reports and great photos of Perry. They seemed to get along well and he was in good spirits when I returned, ready to resume their playtime routine. Definitely recommend for attentive catsitting!
Stephanie has been an amazing ongoing sitter for my cat Vashti. She has so much care for my cat and is truly an amazing cat photographer. Would very highly recommend!
