24/7 Care in your home

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs my entire life and I love their special personalities. I welcome pets with challenging personalities. I have a clean background check through Rover as well as great reviews. I am available 24/7 and I’m extremely flexible. I am willing to care for your pets long term or short term, even last minute if that fits your needs. Please let me know if your animals need higher energy runs, simple walks, if they are leash aggressive and need to avoid all other animals or if they simply want a car ride with their head out the window. I aim to please with what your furry friend will find comfortable in your absence. Dog walking is included with house sitting fees. I find that all dog owners have very different instructions for the care of their dogs and I like to adhere to their directives. I am capable of taking dogs on long hikes to expend energy or sit around and just enjoy the day. If I am house sitting for you, I spend as much time at your home as you would Iike me to. I know animals miss their parents so I try to keep them as entertained as possible while you’re away. Your pets are probably most comfortable following their normal schedule in your absence. I will do my best to stick to their schedules with walks, feeding, play and rest time. I would be happy to drive anywhere for walks, hikes or random errands while you’re away.

Stephanie took the best care of my boy while I was away on a very demanding business trip. I loved getting the photos and knowing he was in such good hands. I would give 10 stars if that was an option!

Stephanie is awesome. We’re so lucky to have found her. She is very loving and caring and our dog was so happy to see her! Will definitely use Stephanie again.

Stephanie is reliable, trustworthy and honest. We always know our pup Harley will be well taken care of when she is with Stephanie. Not to mention Harley is always so happy to see her.

I care for every pet differently. I adhere to the owners instructions as closely as I can since they know what’s best for their own pet. When there is question I refer back to the knowledge I’ve learned in the past with my own animals or pets that have been in my care.
