Pet care experience

Reliable, loving pet hangs🐾🐱💚

Hi there! My name is Steph, and I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. I grew up helping raise three German Shepherds and now care for a long-haired shepherd with my family. I also can’t resist feeding and loving on any street cats I come across! Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat all pets like family—patient, reliable, and always attentive to their needs. My background working with kids with special needs has given me extra patience and care, which I bring into every pet I look after. Expect lots of love, cuddles, and plenty of tail wags or purrs along the way! ****I send owners LOTS of photos and videos throughout the day; I just do so through iMessage or Whatsapp with most of my clients, making the photo sharing percentage on here inaccurate! Just want to clarify 😊****

Stephanie took great care of our girl Raven (German shepherd/belgian malinois mix for reference on the energy level if you are looking for that). We got an update for everything and she sent a ton of photos which we appreciated greatly. I highly recommend Stephanie to anyone and everyone. She can handle high energy breeds (and I’m sure low energy breeds). Any care instructions we left were followed meticulously! And my girl absolutely loved snuggling up to her ❤️

Hands down - best sitter I have ever had. And, I’m on pets, 8, 9 and 10. She is also very gracias, punctual. Detail oriented. I think she takes better care of them then I do. Thank you Stephanie, we love you!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Steph is truly the best dog sitter we’ve ever had, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She did house sitting for our two Frenchies and went above and beyond in every way. She provides frequent updates and tons of adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Her communication is excellent—clear, timely, and thoughtful. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and it’s obvious she genuinely cares about them. On top of that, she kept our home immaculate and tidy, which we so appreciated coming home to. We’ve booked with Steph before and will absolutely continue to do so. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving sitter, Steph is it. Highly, highly recommend! 🐶💛

Stephanie was amazing with lady and Jax! This was the second time we have worked with her and have nothing but great things to say! She communicated effectively, sends a lot of pictures, and treated our home like it was her own. Our pups love her! Thank you Stephanie!

Very thorough and communicative. Took lots of photos and wrote detailed descriptions of every visit. I was having a hard time getting my cat to eat her food, and she figured out a method to get her to lick the plate clean! Highly, highly recommend this sitter.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine! I work from home as a virtual RBT, which gives me flexible hours to provide consistent care and attention. Even while working, I enjoy keeping pets close—resting a hand or foot on them for comfort. I truly love furry companions; they make the best coworkers.

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t host pets at my home, but I love caring for them in their own space where they feel happiest. I’m flexible with routines and happy to follow your pet’s needs, whether that’s long walks, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions. I just ask that pets are friendly so we can all feel safe and comfortable together. My goal is to keep tails wagging, purrs going, and everyone at ease!

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with me is full of walks, playtime, and plenty of love! I enjoy keeping pets mentally stimulated with games, toys, or cozy cuddle sessions—whatever makes them happiest. I always respect their space when they need it, but I’m quick to give affection once they’re ready. And of course, I’ll send lots of photo updates so you can feel connected to your furry family while you’re away.

Please share any important details about your pet, especially behavioral or medical needs. I want to provide the best care possible, so being honest and thorough helps me make sure your dog or cat feels safe, happy, and supported in every way.
