Schedule update: I’m currently working night shift. Unfortunately, this means I will not be able to accommodate very many visits for the time being. I’m typically most available from 9 am - 11 am on days that I’m working, or 10 pm - 11 am on my days off. If you’re extremely flexible on timing, it may work out — feel free to reach out and I’ll see what I can do!

Safety, trust & environment

For drop ins, I would prefer to do a meet and greet prior to the visit so I can meet your furry friend and have a better understanding of where necessities (such as food, treats, leash, litter box, etc) are kept. For walks, meet and greets are not as necessary, but can be requested if you’re interested in one! For pick up/drop off key requests, I require a $5 transport fee (for each visit) for gas/time. If the key pick up is during the meet and greet, there is no fee since I’ll be there anyway :) Key lockboxes are highly encouraged! Side note: If I am unable to enter your home within 10 minutes of arrival (for instance: inability to find parking, any door codes are not working/instructions are incorrect) and I’m unable to get a response within that time frame, unfortunately, this will limit my options and I will likely have to leave as I may have other clients waiting. To prevent this, please have clear instructions ahead of time and ensure that there is an adequate amount of parking available. Things do happen and I will still figure out a solution to the best of my ability in these situations, but it would help for a smoother visit if these are ready ahead of time!

Information Stephanie L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about the personality and any particular habits of your pet, as well as what they like or dislike! Additionally, any medical concerns would be helpful. No breed preferences -- I love them all! Additionally, my requirements for pets include being up to date on their Rabies vaccination (unless under 16 weeks) and on flea control. Please let me know in advance if your pet is exhibiting any symptoms of coughing, sneezing, vomiting or diarrhea so I can prepare accordingly to prevent spread to other pets I’ll be seeing after the visit.

A typical day

I love playing with animals and giving them some time for rubs! For walks, we would go around the neighborhood since I’d like to keep them around familiar areas.

Animal lover with vet experience!

Pet care experience

Hey there, I’m Stephanie! I have a bachelors in Animal Science and worked in various veterinary clinics over the years. I now work in a (human) hospital! I have a 7 year old GSD/Lab mix named Kona! She’s extremely active and hyper, so I’m very familiar with dogs that have a similar personality. Of course, I love calm dogs (and cats) as well!

Stephanie was punctual and communicated well. The weather was terrible but she got to the house in a timely manner and spent tome with our cat Rupert. Great job and thanks!

Working with Stephanie was amazing! She is extremely detail-oriented and attentive, and was very communicative throughout the time we were away from our cat. Our cat, who is usually pretty standoffish from strangers, seemed to really like her! Next time we are away we will definitely be using Stephanie’s services again. THANK YOU!
