I love all animals

Pet care experience

Animals are better than people and they deserve love with kind care. With each pet comes their own unique personality and quirks. I am somewhat of an animal whisper when it comes to the body language, needs and wants of each animal. Some animals take awhile to adjust to strangers and I am patient and believe I can gain the animals trust. I have always had a dog, whom I take to the dog park where I also interact with other dogs. I have also done professional dog walking and sitting in the past which included checking in on the pets, walking them, feeding, playtime and a little bit of training in between. Dogs along with most animals follow a routine and I would like to be apart of theirs. No animal wants to sit at home alone, they need to be engaged.

Stephanie has watched our two dogs at our home numerous times and is absolutely amazing with them every single visit. She sends pictures and videos and takes our German Shepherd on hikes and trips to the park. She gives multiple updates throughout the day and truly loves our pups. Highly recommend!!

I went on vacation and Stephanie stayed at my house and cared for my fur babies. She did an awesome job. They were happy to see me but Winnie was confused and looking for her. That tells me how much they were loved while I was gone.

Stephanie did a great job with my cat Oliver. She went above and beyond not only stopping in to feed him and give him his medicine but also brushing him and spending time with him. She sent numerous pictures and videos and stayed in constant communication. I could tell Oliver was excited to see her when she visited. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I learn each animals daily routine and keep notes filled with their favorite games, treats, dislikes. I encourage pet owners to gush over their pets. The more I know about their personality the better. When doing drop in visits, I call out the animals name, let them approach me and continue with the care that’s needed for that specific pet. While walking dogs, I avoid other dogs and people unless specifically stated by the owner that they are comfortable with their dog being around others.

Information Stephanie R. would like to know about your pet

How do your pets like to be greeted? Any food aggressions? Are they reactive to other dogs? And most importantly, where are the treats? :)

A typical day

A nice walk together. Everyone feels much better after a nice walk. If they don’t walk then playing in the yard. Toss the ball around, or just enjoy the fresh air.
