Pet care experience

Experienced dog rescuer and lover!

Hello! My name is Stephanie M. I have owned dogs since I was born and am a huge animal lover. I have been rescuing and fostering dogs since 2013 in the Houston area. I have 3 personal dogs that are wonderful and welcoming to new dogs as we have had so many fosters over the years. I have baby gates throughout my home to keep dogs separated if needed. I am experienced with all types of dogs and their behaviors. Your dog will be safe, taken care of, loved and enjoy their time at our home! I am experienced in giving injections and fluids to dogs so I can take on dogs with non contagious medical issues and leave you worry free while you enjoy your vacation!

We have a large, very skittish rescue dog who is terrified of most strangers. Stephanie was able to coax her out of her crate and into the backyard for a potty break which to me was an absolute miracle! I would highly recommend Stephanie and will be using her again and again. She is a godsend!

Stephanie cares more about dogs than any person I have ever met. She does a phenomenal job loving and caring for her own dogs, not to mention the many fosters she has taken in over the years. Any time she has watched my dogs while I was out of town, I had complete peace of mind. She is responsible, reliable, and treats my pups like they are her own. I cannot recommend Stephanie enough!

Stephanie is a VERY trustable and wonderful pet sitter. She is one of three people I trust to give my cat her insulin shots.........one of the other two people is myself. She takes time with animals and loves them and is patient with their needs. I HIGHLY recommend her for any of your pet sitting, walking or medical care needs for your pets. She will love them like you love them and you truly will not worry knowing she is taking care of them in your stead.

Stephanie is an incredibly responsible and loving sitter. I can highly recommend her and trust her to care for my pets. She is extremely capable and goes the extra mile in all situations.

Dogs absolutely love Stephanie! She has a very easy going personality that makes even the most timid dog comfortable very quickly. Her own dogs are amazingly well cared for and extremely social. She has been an in-home foster for various rescues over the last four plus years and as a result has learned about administering medications of all types, including intravenous, and is very knowledgeable about handling various types of medical cases. I highly recommend Stephanie and would trust her with my own personal pets any time!
