Pet care experience

I'm Steph, your pets new BFF! 🤗🐕❤

I’m Stephanie. Adopting my own dog inspired me to become a pet sitter. She was ill with parvovirus, and I nursed her back to health. During that time, I fell in love with my pup’s pure animal innocence and realized that pet care is something I want to do for the rest of my life. I’ve been around pets my entire life, but having my own was a complete game changer! I currently live with four dogs and one cat, and I love them all dearly –– they’re part of the family. I’ve been raising animals since I was 10 years old and have experience with a variety of pets, including some exotic creatures. I’ve worked with dog/wolf hybrids, sugar gliders, birds, quail, geese, ducks, turkeys, and rabbits. I love calling Florida my home. My community is welcoming to a very active lifestyle. I enjoy playing at dog parks, walking to the dog beach, finding new trails to explore, or just walking around my neighborhood with my four-legged friends. In my home, we’ve created a perfect atmosphere to cater to our pups –– we’re an all-around pet-loving household. I’m very active in my day-to-day life. I go to the gym every day to keep up my energy levels. Also, I plan to pursue a full-time career with animals, and staying active allows me to keep up all different breeds. I’m an energetic, eager to please, and hard-working person who strives to uphold an excellent reputation. I want to be a full-time pet sitter, so my schedule is currently open for animal care.

Stephanie was great! Our dog had an unexpected ear infection that required four different medications. She gave them all beautifully and helped Tundra heal quickly. Many thanks!!

Stephanie did a great job with my rambunctious dog who is challenging (at best) on the leash. She managed to get him to walk even when he was skittish about workers in the neighborhood, allowing me peace of mind when traveling. I'd definitely book her services again!

Pets

A typical day

I love making my clients feel at home during my stay by playing, cuddling, and/or meeting any other need they may have while their parents are away. I'm an all-around pet person who just wants to do what's best for you and your pup. By the way, you can follow our adventures! -- I post them on Instagram and Facebook under @StephsProPetCare so you can see active pictures during my stay with them on social media! I’m currently working toward a full-time career in dog sitting. Having studied counseling and human services, I’ve learned to pick up on body language in both humans and animals. I’ll always strive to make sure your fur baby is getting the most out of our time together and that they’re well taken care of –– from paws to teeth. I’ll go out of my way to ensure it’s an enjoyable experience for all!

To ensure the highest level of care for your pet, I’d like to know how well they handle being around other animals. Also, do they have any anxieties or limitations? Is there anything that makes your pooch uncomfortable that I should avoid during our time together?
