Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Steph. I'm an NYC transplant, cat momma and dog auntie. Prior to moving to NYC, I was living in Boston for school (Go Terriers!) where I cared for cats/dogs on weekends using my experience as a Kennel Technician ( I worked at an animal hospital called VCA Cypress Wood for 4 years throughout high school). At VCA I walked dogs and looked after cats, fed them, cleaned, prepped their cages, clipped nails and administered medication (including insulin) to dogs that had special needs. I am based in the Upper Manhattan area and offer services such as house sitting, dog walking, dog boarding and dog bathing. I can bring my own supplies when requesting a bath, and can clean your dog’s ears and eyes. I enjoy giving belly rubs, playing fetch, and walking around the city!
Reviews
Stephanie was great with Bijli Jean! even my cat liked her!
Chance had a great time staying with Stephanie. I am always nervous leaving Chance with someone new, but Steph’s daily pics of Chance enjoying himself really put me at ease while I was away. Drop off and pick up were super easy because Steph is very responsive to messages and super accommodating of my schedule. I would definitely book Stephanie again and Chance gives her 4 paws up!
Steph is so amazing with my corgi puppy! She has helped watch him since he was only 6 months old and he absolutely adores her. I would trust her with his care anytime. She is extremely dependable and knowledgeable about care for animals, and that was so important for me as a first time dog mom. 10/10 100$ would recommend you using Steph for any of your fur baby needs :)
Steph took great care of my cat while I was gone. She has experience caring of pets and asked the right questions to take good care of my cat. She sent me pictures and gave me updates all along the way so I knew exactly what was going on with my pet. I trust her to take good care of my cat and will definitely ask her to watch him again!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a balcony for my sun bathing enthusiast, and a large living room for play time and naps. My building also has an elevator, so it is very inclusive for older/senior dogs that can't go up stairs. I also live really close to a dog park, so if your fur baby is a social butterfly, we can also arrange for dog park visits!

A typical day
Whether we are walking, jogging, sniffing or playing.. I love making sure that the pets that I’m caring for are stimulated and happy! Please let me know if your dog likes dog parks, gardens, or going to a park to play fetch and I’d be happy to care for them in the way that you’d like.
