Pet care experience
I’ve stayed overnight to house-sit and pet-sit, provided walks, playtime, and medication for senior dogs, and welcomed dogs into my own home, including pups with health issues needing special attention. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me because I treat their pets like my own: with love, patience, and a lot of snuggles.

Reviews
Stephanie has such a positive energy, and she took amazing care of Liam dog! Would love to have her back anytime!
Stephanie is a total gem. She took amazing care of my dog while I was out of town: daily walks, tons of attention, and regular updates that put my mind at ease. My pup absolutely adores her. She also kept my place spotless while house sitting, which was a huge bonus. Reliable, loving, and clearing a natural with animals. I can't recommend her enough.
The most important thing for me while looking for a pet sitter was finding someone who loves animals as much as I do. That’s what I found in Stephanie, and knowing that my pets will be loved as much as I love them is the best feeling when leaving them in someone else’s hands. Even with one of my dogs having a heart condition, Stephanie makes sure that my girl gets her meds every 12 hours. She even got my girl to like her cats (and she usually hates them 🤣) so she may be some animal whisperer! Couldn’t recommend Stephanie enough!
I am pleased to recommend Stephanie for a dog-walking position. She has walked my dog, Gus, on numerous occasions and consistently demonstrated responsibility, reliability, and a genuine love for animals. Stephanie is not only punctual and professional, but she also has a natural ability to connect with dogs. Gus took to her immediately and always returned from their walks happy and well-exercised. It was clear that Stephanie took great care to ensure Gus's comfort and safety, tailoring each outing to his needs. I have complete confidence in Stephanie’s ability to care for and manage any dog she works with.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard, two friendly dogs, and two laid-back cats who are totally comfortable with new animals. We regularly host pets of all ages—from playful kittens to senior dogs—so my home is set up for safe, loving care. I also have plenty of pet gates to keep everyone comfortable, secure, and peacefully separated when needed. Whether your pet stays with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I’ll follow your routine closely—walks, meds, crate time, cuddles—whatever helps your fur baby feel safe and at home.
