My family has known Stephanie for fifteen years and have always been impressed with her diligence and dedication to whatever task is at hand, including academics and helping family and friends. She works hard and puts both thought and effort into her actions. She often took care of our Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Skippy, when we were away on trips. Knowing that Stephanie was taking care of our pet meant that we did not have to worry about him. We knew Skippy would receive Stephanie's special brand of TLC--tender loving care. Skippy was fed, walked, played with, and loved. Our home does not have a fenced in yard so our pup had never been outside without being on a leash. Stephanie told us how much Skippy enjoyed romping around her fenced-in yard. We cheered when we went to pick him up and saw how happy he was while off the leash. When Skippy passed, Stephanie joined us in mourning our loss. We are planning to adopt another dog in the near future and know that Stephanie will be our first choice as our dog sitter. I highly recommend her!
