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!

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!

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.

I have a short paper that is optional for owners to fill out that gives me a little more information such as; medications their pet may take, preferences for eating, walking, medication administration. I also do advanced medical boarding if needed. And everyone goes hone with a report card!
