100% bookings with photo updates

Skills

15 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

I keep alarms set at home for when to feed my pets so everyone knows when it’s breakfast and dinner time! Three times a day I will take my dog out for 30-minute to an hour long walk. As a 75lbs husky, my dog loved to pull on the leash but I was able to slowly train him out of that habit. Now he walks beside me and makes walking around the neighborhood a breeze!

Information Stephanie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs, has a preference for walking locations, napping locations, eating times, and any do’s or don’ts in the house (such as couches, beds or floor levels).

A typical day

I love to walk dogs around the neighborhood and give them plenty of time to sniff around to learn new smells. Although sometimes sniffing turns into eating whatever is in-front of them, I will either pull them away or distract the dog with a different stimulus. Also love playing with dogs and will be happy to play tug-of-war or fetch with them. Cuddles are always welcome!

Caring from dogs, lizards to birds

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets since I was six years old, starting with a few fish. Then it developed into lizards, birds, hermit crabs and dogs. I love and care for all and make careful research to provide the best care.

Stephanie is an amazing pet sitter that has been taking care of my dogs for over 4 years. She’s flexible, caring and detail oriented with everything!! Stephanie has been able to help even with short notice for my dogs, and they always communicate reliably for questions and updates. Stephanie is the best pet caregiver you could ever ask for!
