Pet care experience

Born animal lover/trained volunteer

Previous pet owner of dogs, cats, and reptiles. Proud aunt of two dog nephews and a cat niece. Trained Gulf Coast Humane Society Volunteer since 2019. Prior experience with Military Working Dogs, so I am very comfortable with all types of temperaments in dogs. My parents are dog breeders so I am very experienced with puppies as well. I work from home Monday through Friday which gives me extra time to spend with your fur babies during the daytime. There is always flexibility in my schedule and I will do my best to accommodate your needs. Currently I only have a juvenile sulcata tortoise and a fish in my home which means I have plenty of time, attention, and love to offer your pet.

Stephanie took excellent care of my dog, Benji. She was always communicative and clear, and very understanding of any changes. When I picked Benji up, he looked happy and comfortable. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter; she's excellent.

Stephanie made it so easy to leave our pup for doggy daycare! She is communicative, easy-going, and her yard is great for dogs!

So nice and so easy to work with!! She asked great questions that I didn’t even think to mention to her which I super appreciated. She also took my pup in as a last-minute request so Stephanie was a lifesaver for us.

Stephanie was amazing with our old dog Brody who is blind and 16.5 years old. I knew he was going to be a lot to watch along with not knowing where he was, with being blind. She was so sweet with him and sent me pictures and updates of how he was doing. We highly recommend Stephanie to keep your pets.

Trustworthy and kind. Easy to talk to and made me feel completely at ease as it’s always a little nerve wrecking leaving your furry family members with someone new. Highly recommend!
