Pet care experience
I cannot wait to meet your fur-babies! 🐶🐱🦄 I grew up with pets, and have loved and cared for a wide variety of four legged friends since childhood, including dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and hamsters. I have worked in several pet food stores, and was a dog walker for a private company, taking 6-8 dogs out at a time on 2 hour offleash hiking adventures through the forest. I also spent several months as a grooming assistant, bathing and drying all sorts of fluffy-butts, from Chihuahuas to Malamutes and everything in between. My husband and I have raised several dogs and cats in our 21 years together, which has given me hands on experience in caring for animals throughout various life stages. From puppies and kittens to geriatric seniors. We adopted our first cat named Kwitwee in 2001, who was a big, beautiful, and fiercely independent Maine Coon with a lions attitude. Next we adopted an 8 week old kitten named Kahlua, who was an absolute sweetheart orange tabby that melted the hearts of everyone he met. Unfortunately, he was born with a congenital heart defect and passed at the age of 2. Our beloved Bjorn came shortly after, an energetic and sweet husky x shepherd, who was about 6 months old when we adopted him. He had a spakling personality that captivated everyone, was my four-legged shadow who came with me everywhere I went, including work for much of his life. Sadly, in 2019 both Kwitwee and Bjorn crossed the rainbow bridge 2 weeks apart, they were 18 and 16. 💔 That leaves us with Pixel, who is a quirky little pug cross that absolutely lives for cuddling. She's about 10 years old, a former stray off the mean streets of Edmonton, and has been my own personal snuggle-bug for the past 9 years.💜
Reviews
Stephanie just spent a week at our house taking care of our senior cat and miniature dachshund. We got back to healthy, happy pets , plants and a very tidy house! We were nervous about leaving them for a week, as we’d never left them alone since we moved to this house 9 months ago. We will definitely be asking Stephanie to look after them again the next time we travel!
This was my second time having Stephanie stay for a week with my dog and I will definitely book her again! Stephanie follows all my instructions, sticks to my dogs routine, and sends regular updates. My dog loves her and I came back to a clean home. Highly recommend!
Stephanie watched our senior and adult dogs, she took excellent care of them, fed them their special diets/meals. We will certainly book her again! Highly recommended!
We don't like to kennel our dog when we go away, and don't like to leave him alone all day by himself. So thrilled that we found Stephanie - who looked after our dog and our home. He really seemed to bond with her from the very first visit. She sent us lots of pics and kept his routine the same, which was important to us. Wouldn't hesitate to book her in the future, and would highly recommend her to others...
About Stephanie P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pets as if they were my own, do my best to make them feel comfortable, and follow their regular routines as instructed.
Information Stephanie P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or considerations that I should be aware of, such as separation anxiety, health concerns, fearfulness, or aggression issues.
A typical day
Most 30 minute walks will take place in and around your neighborhood, where me and your fluffy-butt can take in the local sights and sounds on a leisurely stroll. For longer walks I prefer to hit up the trails at a nearby park, so your floofy-nugget and I can throughly explore the great outdoors.

Availability
I'm currently focusing on launching a career as an artist, and work part-time as a virtual assistant. Working from home means I have a flexible schedule to accommodate most days, weekends, and holidays.
