I'm currently working from home full time from Mon-Friday (9am-5pm). I can share my home with your fur baby and make sure to walk them every 3-4 hours if needed or stay at your home if you wish. My lifestyle is very much fitting for nervous nellies who don’t like to be alone for too long.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a patio for my sun bathing enthusiast, and a large living room for play time and naps. My apartment is on the first floor, so it is very inclusive for older/senior dogs that can't go up stairs.

Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet
I always want your pet to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. It really helps to know their daily routine, any allergies or special needs, and how they usually handle time alone. If your pup has separation anxiety, let me know what comforts them - whether that’s a favorite toy, calming words, or sticking to a routine.
A typical day
Whether we’re walking, jogging, sniffing the neighborhood, or playing, I always make sure the pets in my care are both mentally and physically stimulated. I love learning what each dog enjoys most, whether that’s long walks, trips to the dog park, or a good game of fetch at a nearby park.

Vet-trained, loving pet care
Pet care experience
🐾 Hi, I’m Steph! Vet-trained, detail-driven, and full of love 🤍 I’m a lifelong animal lover with 10+ years of hands-on experience, including 5 years as a Veterinary Assistant & Kennel Technician at VCA Animal Hospital. My Experience Includes: • Daily care for cats & dogs • Walking, feeding, bathing, nail trims • Administering medications (insulin too) • Supporting pets with medical & behavioral needs Working in a clinical setting taught me how to be: calm, observant, and deeply attentive to every pet’s well-being. 🐶 What Makes Me Different I specialize in pets with separation anxiety. As a cat mom to a Velcro kitty myself, I’ve intentionally learned how to: • Read stress signals • Create calm, structured environments • Help pets feel safe when you’re away My Approach: Every pet is different, so I tailor care to their needs • Enrichment & mental stimulation • Structured play or quiet companionship • Gentle routines & smooth transitions My goal is simple: to make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved. 📍 Now in South Florida and offering: • House sitting • Dog walking • Boarding • Bathing

Reviews
Stephanie watched on senior german shepherd while we went on vacation this summer. Her care of Leo was nothing short of 5 stars. Her thoughtfulness through her stay and beyond is what truly makes her stand out. Would absolutely have her watch Leo again. He is family and it is so important for us to trust who we leave him with. Happy to say we’ve found just the right person.
Stephanie was Dozer's first doggy sitter. She was communicative and we knew Dozer was in good hands. Dozer is almost 5 months and as a bull terrier puppy he can be a handful. She took great care of him and he had a great time. Thank you Stephanie!
We recently moved and needed to find a new dog walker after years with the same person for our boy, Zeus. He is a senior, stubborn old man, and doesn't trust easily. From the moment Stephanie walked in the door, Zeus was in love! Not only can she get him to go out for walks, but he brings his toys to her and waits for her to pet him after their walks. We are thrilled with Stephanie and can't wait to have her back to see Zeus! Highly recommend.
Stephanie was great with our two Husky pups during her drop-in. You can tell she has a lot of experience and is very knowledgeable. She was comfortable with our puppy and the double husky craziness. Our puppy is a very energetic one and Stephanie was able to tire her out! They loved hanging out and walking with her! We already have a future house sit planned! Highly recommend!
