About Stephanie S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Each household is different, and each owner has their own way of caring for the pet. I will care for your kiddos as if they were my own. We can schedule meet and greets to make sure there is complete communication and understanding of your pets’ needs. When it comes to pet’s with high energy it’s important to stimulate the mentally and physically with play and walks. With being in the veterinary field as a tech you never know what kind of animal or quirky personality is going to walk through the door. No matter how big or small; I pride myself on practicing “less is more” and “going slow” with each kiddo. When going on walks I believe it’s important to be vigilant and aware of your surroundings. Paying attention to the dog’s behavior is a must, you never know what a dog may sense and be alerting you to. Each corner is new and and you never know what could be lurking. I was raised around all kinds of animals from livestock, poultry, dogs and cats, reptiles/amphibians, as well as avians. I currently have 1 dog, 4 cats and a small parrot. While I’m gone my dog is kenneled to keep them her out of trouble, and we walk at least 3-4 times per day. I hope to build your confidence with me while I care for your most precious and loved furry friends!

10yr Veterinary Technician
Pet care experience
Hi, My name is Steph. I have been a veterinary technician for 10 years, I have had many years of experience in high volume critical pet care. I am also trained with exotic care from reptiles and amphibians, pocket pets, and avians; let me know if there’s a small one at home that needs attention as well. My passion is caring for critters of all sizes, and I believe in doing right by humans and their companions. I am capable of walking, feeding, bathing, and medicating any pet. I spend my days with my 10yr old son being his Learning Coach while he attends homeschooling online. My son also shares the same passion for animals; due to homeschooling this year of 2026-2027 he will have to come with me during and petsitting in home. Please contact me to cuddle and play with your fur babies while you’re away!

Reviews
Stephanie took great care of both our furry family member and our home. I always like to have someone stay in our home so that our golden retriever can stay in her familiar environment. Stephanie took great care of her and also make sure our home was clean and ready to return to after a week away.
Stephanie is great with my dogs and they love her. I always know I can trust her. She has the dogs best interest in mind at all times. She takes her job seriously while being very sweet and kind as well. I would recommend her to anyone.
Stephanie was very communicative and was very engaged with my dogs and cat. Would love to book her again in the future!
Stephanie is very nice and responsible! She is sweet to my dog and was able to walk her last minute which I appreciate!
