Vet Tech Sitter 25+yes Experience!!
Hi there! My name is Stephanie and for 30 years I worked in veterinary medicine as an emergency technician and ICU nurse. I am currently a surgical veterinary technician at an hospital in Boston. Along the way I became great friends with many of my clients and pet sat for dozens of their fur babies! I found that clients find peace of mind having someone with a veterinary medicine background watch their babies because of my ability to spot problematic situations prematurely and address them before they ever become dangerous to your pet as well as the ability to administer medication - making it so your pet doesn't need medical boarding in a strange noisy place anymore! I will also do nail trims upon request. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

Ratings and reviews
Stephanie and Michael were excellent. He came home tired and happy. Didn’t even seem excited to see me which makes me think he didn’t want to leave! Lots of love and play time. He needs meds and has to go out frequently because he’s a senior dog and they took excellent care of him! Will be our go-to dog sitters from now on!
Stephanie and Mike were great with Peppa! She came home exhausted and happy :)
Stephanie and her husband are loving sitters! They took great care of Smore and provided regular updates about her stay, which helped ease our minds when traveling. Their cat Binx is so sweet. Smore got along great with Binx, even though she historically hasn't liked other cats!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I leash walk only, never off leash. Your pets safety is my absolute number 1 priority at all times, no exceptions. I am also very careful to never mingle dogs together that have never met. 30 years in veterinary medicine has taught me to always expect the unexpected.
A typical day
My husband and I live in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood in Quincy. Each pets day is tailored specifically to their needs. A senior pet's schedule would look very different from a 16 week old tyke's day, so my husband and I would act accordingly. For example: I live a 15 minutss walk from the beach, so when we take pets on field trips we adjust the level of activity based on your both pets ability. My two decades of experience in veterinary medicine has given me the ability to detect and problems your pet may have and and ensure your fur baby has the absolute best experience possible.
