Pet care experience
I've done pet sitting for friends and neighbors, grew up caring for both cats and dogs, and was recently the primary caretaker of a very shy rescue pup for about a year, during which he came out of his shell quite a bit. I'm patient and conscientious and thrilled to spend time with animals, whether that means playing fetch for hours or letting them do their own thing.
Reviews
Steph house sat for my cat while I was away and they had a great time together. Steph sent me photos of them playing and watching TV together. They seem like best friends. Thanks Steph!
Stephanie is one of my dog's favorite people. When she visits, he climbs up on the cushions of where ever she's sitting and goes to sleep wrapped around her neck, something he only does with me. It is hard to get him to leave me to go for a walk, but he willingly goes with Stephanie. He knows he is in good hands with her.

My apartment does not allow pets, so I would have to petsit at your place. I will follow any instructions you provide, treat your property with respect and bring everything I need along with me. I will also send pictures and updates as often as you want!
Information Stephanie N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are specific behaviors you are working on encouraging or discouraging, and how you prefer to do that. Is your pet is afraid of certain things (e.g. dogs larger than them)? Are there rituals they'll be expecting me to perform (e.g. always give them a treat upon getting back from a walk)? I will also need to know the schedule on which they get fed/walked, and where you typically take them to get exercise.
A typical day
I love playing tug and fetch with dogs, and ideally you'd direct me to a space where they can run around off-leash (and with other dogs, if they're friendly!). I'll also bring water for them while we're out.
