Highlights
Pet care experience
All breeds, all creeds!
As a dog sitter with extensive experience working with rescues, working dogs, puppies, and reactive dogs, I bring a compassionate and understanding approach to every dog I care for. My background in handling rescues has taught me the importance of patience and trust-building, while my experience with working dogs gives me insight into their high-energy needs and structure. I’ve also raised puppies, providing the guidance and training they need to grow into well-behaved companions. With reactive dogs, I prioritize creating a calm, safe environment, ensuring they feel secure and understood. This combination of skills makes me an ideal pet sitter for any situation - I'm excited to meet and care for your fur baby! I also assist a local farrier and am comfortable working with horses and pigs.

Safety, trust & environment
I am experienced in caring for all kinds of animals in all settings, whether it be on a rural ranch or in a family home/apartment. I have experience crate training, structured walks, obedience and agility. I am happy to follow any and all detailed instructions for pet care whether it's medical, food or play. If you have a reactive or sensitive dog, that is my specialty! I love making a dog feel comfortable and watching them blossom and will do whatever it takes to give them the patience, understanding and gentle leadership they deserve.
Ratings and reviews
Stephanie was amazing and we will probably have her watch our cats again! Our eldest cat, Princess, dislikes strangers and takes a long time to warm up but Stephanie got her to warm up so quickly. Both my cats were treated like Kings and Queens. She was always communicative and even watered my plants for me. 10 out of 10!
Best sitter I’ve ever had! Great communication and truly cares for the dogs she’s looking after. Took great care of the house as well.

Schedule
I currently go to grad school online and work part time from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I am willing to work outside of the immediate Tehachapi area with gas mileage covered ($0.50 per mile).
