Alongside pet care, I work from home offering virtual meditation and mindfulness practices to my clients. Because of this, I have the flexibility to fit pet sitting and enrichment seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Whether you’re traveling or simply want your pets to have a little extra love and attention during the day, I’m available and adaptable to your needs. And quite honestly, spending time with animals is always the highlight of my day.

Safety, trust & environment

I know that your home is your pet’s safe space, and I treat it with the utmost respect. My approach is always to let the animal take the lead, whether they’re curious, shy, or somewhere in between, so they feel fully comfortable and in control. Building trust is my top priority, and I take the time to ensure every pet knows they are safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away.

Information Stephanie P. would like to know about your pet

No amount of information is too much! I take your pet’s routines seriously and will follow them closely to help keep your pets calm, comfortable, and trusting while you’re away. Any details you can share—like medical needs, feeding schedules, favorite toys, or quirks—are always welcome and encouraged. The more I know, the better I can ensure your pet is cared for exactly the way they need.

A typical day

When I’m with your pets, I make it a priority to spend time on their level and engage with them fully. Playtime is always interactive, whether it’s chasing toys, gentle games, or activities that get their minds working. I also incorporate light training using treats to provide mental stimulation and encourage positive behaviors. Of course, lots of pets, cuddles, and affection are included if they enjoy it, and every moment is designed to give them a safe, enriching, and joyful experience while you’re away to ensure that your pet is fully loved and cared for.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Stephanie :) I’ve always loved being around animals, and I feel lucky to spend my time caring for them. My goal as a pet sitter is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality so we can build trust and a genuine connection. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply sitting quietly together, I follow their lead to give them exactly what they need. I’ve trained with the Humane Society to better understand both cat and dog body language, which helps me recognize the little cues that show when a pet wants space, comfort, or extra attention. I can also provide light training, especially with cats. Furthermore, I am pursuing cat & dog CPR/First Aid to give you complete trust that when your pet is with me, they are completely safe in all situations. You can trust that I also make sure your pet has everything they need to feel their best: fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or plenty of outdoor breaks, and plenty of enrichment. And because I know I’m stepping into their safe space, I treat every home with respect and care. At the end of the day, my goal is always the same: for your pets to feel understood, well cared for, and loved until you’re back home.

Stephanie is THE BEST with tiny tigers. She showers the fur babies with more love, compassion, and respect than most people show one another. She even removes her shoes in her own house before stepping into the cats’ room, simply because she feels it’s rude to bring outside dirt into their space. She volunteers at the animal shelter, putting in extra hours to be sure every miniature puma gets the same care, pets and love as the one next to it. Your little kitty children will be genuinely sad when Aunt Stephy heads home—she’s the cool aunt with the heart of a mom.

Steph is part of the family - I wouldn’t trust my baby or my home with anyone else! She’s clean and tidy, communicative, trustworthy and my cat is obsessed with her. We’re so lucky to have found Steph!

My chocolate lab Claire LOOOOVES Stephanie ❤️❤️ She caters to her every treat request and dishes out endless butt scratches. Claire gets home with me and she rolls her eyes; Stephanie shows up for some playtime and BOOM! Butt wiggles and puppy laughing. Im very selective who cares for my dog when im not able to. Stephanie is the top of my list! 5 stars, would absolutely recommend.
