Stephanie can care for
Availability
I've been lucky enough to take the last few years off to have my small children at home with me. Now that everyone is in full time school I have this open schedule. I miss taking care of littles, I miss animal interaction :) and I'm not quite able to go back to full time work so this is a no brainer. I want to use my skillset to help parents in any capacity small or large

About Stephanie R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether an animal is at my home or I'm in their home my job is to make them feel as safe and loved just as their parent would. Structure and routine is so important to all creatures, so my goal is to keep things as normal as possible for them. Upon visiting my friends, I want each pet to feel like I’m only there to serve them :) while keeping things as normal as possible for the routine and schedule.
Information Stephanie R. would like to know about your pet
Theres no silly detail in your animals care or routine. I want to know what you'd like me to help with, extra time on walks, special areas of concern, funny corks or favorite toys are all helpful and creating a comfortable time for pet. Its all about communication.
A typical day
Safety is my top priority so I will always take my time and go slow with each pet. All animals have their pwn personalities so I like to fed off the energy of the animal whether its a scaredy cat or an anexious dog, seniors and youths need specialized attention and I understand that. Backyards or walks, tuggs or snuggles which ever your baby needs is what I'll be for them. Keeping a normal routine is important, so I like to interview parents as much as they interview me. Knowing your pet and its routine is key then I can always adapt.

Registered Veterinary Tech and Mom
Pet care experience
Ive been a licensed RVT (aka.animal nurse) since 2013 when taking my National Boards. I've always been an animal loving, tree hugging, empathetic person so helping pet parents comes naturally. Since I'm extremely flexible, I'd love to help my community take care of their furry friends. My knowledge and experience helps in any stage of life, all those coming with its own set of bumps and turns. I spent many years in speciality care so I cant help but have a little softer spot for seniors and medically complicated. Whether petsitting, medication giving, rehabilitation help, basic training, paw holding, extra TLC or just potty breaks it'd be my pleasure to help.
Cat care experience
Stephanie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
As always, Stephanie R did a great job watching my old boy and giving me feedback. My dog loves her. Thank you Stephanie.
Stephanie is an excellent, attentive sitter. Besides photos, I get notes about my dog's well-being. I am a repeat customer with Stephanie. My dog loves her. I am confident my dog gets the best care with Stephanie.
Stephanie is great and my cat who doesn’t see many people loved her tight away. I felt very confident leaving my cat in her care.
Stephanie was THE BEST!! She was available last minute to take care of our cats and did a fantastic job. She came prepared and even had some cat treats and cat nip she left out for them (they’re skittish and won’t come out when unfamiliar faces are around). She was easy to communicate with and was very responsive. We will definitely have her come out again! Thanks!!!
