Stephanie can care for
Availability
I am currently working part-time, so I have quite a bit of availability to take your fur babies out for walks, drop-in's, or to pet sit. My mornings and early afternoons are when I have the most flexibility with my schedule and would love the excuse to get outside and give your pups some exercise!

About Stephanie M.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in an elevator building, so when I care for dogs in my home, I ensure frequent trips outside to go potty and get exercise. Depending on the temperament of the dog, I will determine if taking the stairs or elevator makes the most sense for their comfort level. If I am watching a dog with high separation anxiety, I tend to play soothing white noise to help with any sounds that come from my neighbors or the hallway. With any of the pets I watch, I always make a point to take photos so I can share with their owner while they are away so they can stay connected to their pet. I am unable to watch cat's in my home due to allergies but I am more than happy to drop in to spend time with cats in your home and give them company.
Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know ahead of time if your pets have any behaviors or special needs that I would need to be aware of. I am more than happy to follow whatever regiment you have in place, I just need it to be clear and written out!
A typical day
I love to keep your dogs happy and curious. When we go on walks, I will make sure we take our time getting to sniff every leaf and curb they want. At home, depending on their energy levels, I will keep them active by playing with their toys or working on their training commands to keep them stimulated. If they are more laid back, I love to cuddle on the couch and watch some tv with them. On a nice day, I love to make the walk over to Fort Greene park to either stroll along the trails or sit with your pup and enjoy the shade. Any day that is quite hot out, I make sure to pack extra water for your pup to stay hydrated and I will always test how hot the pavement is so their feet stay safe.

Your fur-baby's next best friend!
Pet care experience
I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I took care of my family dog for 15 years, with the last several of those years requiring special care due to his declining health. I have also become the primary sitter for my friend's pets, varying from dogs to cats, which I have sat for frequently over the last 6 years.
Reviews
Stephanie is one of the most caring and trustworthy people I know, and I would absolutely trust her with my two cats! She is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. She’s the kind of person who will make sure your animals gets plenty of love and attention while also keeping you updated so you never have to worry. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for someone dependable and kind to care for their furry family members!
Stephanie has cat sat for me on more occasions than I can count, and I would book her again without hesitation. What stands out most is how she reads animals, ive seen her take care of dogs, as well as cats. She never pushes for interaction and lets themcome to her on their own terms, respects their boundaries, is gentle and creates a space where they feel completely safe. My cats are not easy to win over, but they trusted her fully, and that tells you everything you need to know. She followed my instructions exactly, kept me updated while I was away, communicated well, and left my home in great shape. They were not just cared for while I was gone. They thrived and fell in love with her. If you want someone who truly understands pets rather than someone who simply feeds them, book Stephanie.
Stephanie is the absolute best!!! I have a Rottweiler, a Golden Retriever & a cat, she has cared for them many times, and they all love her! I can go on out of time with the peace of mind that Stephanie will care for them responsibly and make sure they are happy. I’d recommend Stephanie’s services to anyone looking for a kind, attentive & caring sitter for your pets! I’ve never had a better sitter than Stephanie, she seriously is the best!
Stephanie is a natural caregiver who gives the proper care and attention to each pet. She is so caring and patient and I would trust her completely to care for my pets. She is dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. I wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone who needs a caregiver for their fur babies!
