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 2 dogs, 2 kittens and a small parrot. While I’m gone my dogs are kenneled to keep them out of trouble, and we walk at least 3-4 times per week. 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 free time with my 6yr old son; who also shares the same passion for animals. Please contact me to cuddle and play with your fur babies while you’re away!

Reviews
Stephanie is very nice and responsible! She is sweet to my dog and was able to walk her last minute which I appreciate!
Stephanie did a great job as always!
Stephanie does a great job caring for our pets. It is so nice to have someone available and trustworthy so we can feel free to travel from time to time. Our dogs are family so leaving them behind is always difficult. It just really helps to know they are well cared for!
Stephanie went above and beyond helping out my cats while I was on a trip! The time she spent with them taking care of their food and litter was so much appreciated and she even spent time petting them on the couch. Stephanie is so attentive and caring to animals and we will feel very comfortable using her services again. Highly recommend this sitter!
