Licensed Vet Tech Petsitting Care

I am a relief licensed veterinary technician and stay at home mom that does pet sitting on the side!! Petsitting is what I do full time now! Most of my business (90%) is drop in pet visits while owners are away on vacation, I do however offer limited (meaning 1 client at a time) free roam boarding in my own home unless I step away from the house then they are kenneled for their safety. They are able to exercise and go potty on 3/4 acre pipe fenced/no climb yard. I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. 6 years of experience with exotics such as reptiles, birds and pocket pets. I can care for your pet inside my home or can travel to the client's home. I have experience administering SQ fluids, oral and topical medications, injections, and bandages. In my world, the pets are members of the family and I care for them as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they are accustomed to receiving from their family. I also provide other services if needed at NO CHARGE such as watering plants, bringing in the mail/newspaper, checking pool levels, etc.

Stephanie and family are very pleasant. Lovely home and large gated yard. I received texts and pictures often while on vacation which I appreciated. Don’t hesitate to use her service if you are in need!

I LOVED Stephanie! She sent photos and videos of my dog, and she came home so happy! She was exhausted like a kid coming home from summer camp. I will definitely be rebooking in the future!!

Stephanie was wonderful! She took great care of our kitten, and it gave me piece of mind that she was a vet tech. Would definitely recommend her!

This young lady has an amazing way with dogs. My 4 month old Pumi pup has separation issues, is in the middle of the chewing phase, and is almost potty trained. She took on the challenge without any hesitation. She kept me informed while I was away, and when I got back, he was happy to see me...but kept running over to Stephanie as if to let her know he really hated to leave - it was incredibly reassuring to know he felt that much at home! Plus, he had only whimpered for a few minutes when I first left before she got him engaged in play, so no separation anxiety. To top that off, he ate well, didn't chew anything up (proof she is attentive, and had NO potty mistakes (further confirmation she's attentive!). They have a great back yard and a pet friendly home in every way. I cannot begin to tell you how glad I am to have her to watch my pup!
