Pet care experience
I have extensive pet care experience. As a kid, I made it really clear early on that animals had a very important place in my heart. One of my earliest memories is actually going around my neighborhood at age 7 with a little flyer and asking if anyone wanted me to walk their dogs for the grand price of $1.50. My neighbors thinking that this was the sweetest thing, all would schedule 15 minute dog walks with me; only to fuel my animal lover heart. As I grew up, this progressed to dog sitting at their homes, letting their dogs out when they’re not there and even bringing their dogs into my own home. It all started with dogs but soon enough I learned that I loved to take care of cats as well and so, I did. I did this all through my teenage years and even college while volunteering at animal shelters and local vet clinics. Throughout the years I have taken care of dogs of every kind, shapes and sizes. When I was in high school my parents thought it would be the best gift ever to get me a dog and they were right. They ended up giving me the gift of a best friend in the shape of a blue pitbull who we named, Frost. Frost taught me so much, so fast. Although I had been working with dogs my whole life, he was the first dog who I was fully responsible for. At the time, training my 120 lb lap dog became a priority and it was through him that I mastered it. Surprisingly to everyone, when in college, I decided I wanted to go into medical school. I now currently am a health care worker and medical student looking to add a little pet magic back into my life by taking care of yours as if they were my own.

Stephanie did a great job with Aspen! She kept in touch with me, sent videos and pictures! She was also very flexible with pick ups and drop off! I would definitely use her again. 💕
Stephanie and her boyfriend took wonderful care of our pups and provided frequent updates! Thank you!
Stephanie and her boyfriend took good care of my dog Biscuit while my family and I watched the ncaa march madness. My pup is an anxious one but she didn’t show any anxiety at all. They sent me lots of photos and videos and that made me feel at ease while away from my dog. I will definitely use them again in the future!
Stephanie and her boyfriend were awesome! They took great care of our two golden retrievers while we were away. Stephanie was super communicative and sent us lots of picture and video updates. We came home to very happy pups and a clean house. We will definitely be booking with Stephanie again. :)

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am trustworthy, reliable and will put your pet's need at the forefront. I am committed to the best care I can provide and I am very knowledgeable and observant. I will be gentle and attentive with your pet in order to ensure their well being. I am experienced with both relaxed owners who don't have specifics surrounding their preferences but also I can manage and accommodate specific special instructions as well as schedules in order to meet your expectations. I live in a very walkable area and I will ensure your pet's safety as well as clean up after them as needed. I have a sizable apartment with a big indoor dog park as well as an indoor garden directly in front of my unit so we will have a lot of fun with that. What I am trying to say is that your pet will definitely be spoiled in my home. If the service is in your own home then let me know your specifications and instructions, I will promptly follow them with no problem. I know that being away from your pet is tough, so I do my best to comfort your pet along with giving you peace of mind. I will offer pet updates both prompted and unprompted (because it's always always a pleasant surprise when unexpected).

A typical day
Stimulating your dog and keeping him entertained is key! We'll play a bunch of games, take a walk to the park and even visit an indoor dog park. Don't worry, we will pose for pictures and keep you posted!

Availability
Being a healthcare worker means that I have a pretty flexible schedule of only working three nights a week (MTW, 7p-7a). This being said, with being a student, I spend a lot of time home studying and brushing up on school. This allows me to dedicate quality time to your furry (or furr-less) pet all throughout the day for whatever service you need me for. I also have a car so that will allow me to travel easily to various locations in order to accommodate you and your pet. Ask me about holidays, I'm probably available!
