Pet owner, foster, and volunteer 🐈

Pet care experience

I love animals of all kinds and I foster sick and injured cats and dogs through Arizona Humane Society, where I also regularly volunteer. I am trained in both cat and dog behavior as a dog walker and cat socializer at the shelter. Having fostered a number of pets with varying health concerns, I am comfortable giving oral medication to dogs or cats. I have a passion for befriending even the most nervous of cats. As the owner of a nervous little guy myself, I completely understand the stress of leaving your baby with someone that they aren’t familiar with. I am trained in working with the more stressed cats at the shelter, and I know how to make the nervous little ones feel comfortable and safe while you’re away.

Stephanie was very professional and made sure my dog Mocha was taken care of and comfortable on her walk. Mocha came back tired and ready to take a nap, but she definitely enjoyed her time outside. Stephanie made sure to inform me of anything that happened on the walk and how Mocha did. Definitely would hire her again!

Stephanie was awesome with giving updates and including photos with every visit. She made sure all my animals were well taken care of. I definitely would book her again.

Stephanie is great with my cats! She was even able to put a soft cone on my wayward cat

Stephanie is a super pet lover, both dogs & cats. She always takes time time to play with my cats & give good head & chin scratches

I love to go on sniff walks with dogs to stimulate them mentally and physically! For cats, I love a good wand toy play session to satisfy their prey drive and get them tired out.
