Pet care experience
My passion for watching over dogs and cats began at 11. My upstairs neighbors trusted me with walking and caring for their Yorkie while they were away and ever since then I have been searching for more opportunities. I volunteered at my local pet shelter in high-school and would care for up to 20 cats in one night, feeding, snuggling, and keeping them company while they waited for visitors. Some required special instructions regarding their diets which helped me become familiar and specifically aware to details. I absolutely loved it there and would love nothing more than to meet and care for your adorable pets too!
Reviews
She’s really great, and gets along right away with my dog. Thank you so much for being walker with my dog.
Stephanie has walked my dog several times and has always been great!
My little Bichon, Tj, loved Stephanie from the very beginning. She was always on time and made sure that Tj’s walks were safe and enjoyable. I really appreciated the cute pictures and the detailed reports that Stephanie sent me everyday. Thank you, Stephanie :)
Stephanie is reliable and hard-working. She’s taken care of Bruno, my cat, for four weeks while I was away. She goes above and beyond and enjoys giving the best pet care.

Safety, trust & environment
If given the opportunity, my first action would be to read over any instructions a couple of times through so that I am well-prepared and aware of what is needed from me before visiting your furry ones. The trust and comfort from your pets are very important to me so I will always take my time with them and make sure they feel safe. On walks I am always cautious of my surroundings and will always make sure we take the most fun route possible.
Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know if the dog has a tendency to pull on a leash when seeing other dogs etc. I would also like to know of any other habits your pet has while on a walk so I can be fully prepared!
A typical day
I love getting creative with any pet I am watching over. There will be lots of fetching (by me or the pet depending on their ability to do so!), tail wagging, and fun explorations around the neighborhood. And many treats! (if given the OK)
