All about the long walks
Pet care experience
I have had pets since I was about five years old (fish, cats, and a dog) and love caring for all types of creatures! Growing up, I got lots of playtime with my huge, lovable puppy who was half German Shepard, half husky. My family raised her alongside two Persian cats. I also have experience with short-term care (usually no more than a week) for the cats and dogs of family and friends. I am a recent MPH grad with a work schedule that allows me to be home by 4:30/5pm and with lots of flexible time on the weekends. I will make sure to coordinate the most appropriate schedule for you and your cherished pet. I'll also make sure your pet gets plenty of play time and belly rubs.
Reviews
Super reliable, great communication. My dog is happy and well taken care of and the house is immaculate! Thanks Stephanie, I look forward to booking with you again! Highly, highly recommend your services.
Great to work with Stephanie again! She took excellent care of our dog and house, including in a big summer storm. She was communicative and easy to work with. Look forward to booking her again!
Responsive and responsible. Thanks ok great care of my fur baby and my home so I could vacation without concern. Sent regular update photos and messages. Would definitely book Stephanie again!
Stephanie agreed to walk Major and do a meet and greet beforehand on less than a day’s notice. She was very responsive to chats, arrived right on time, and took him for a full walk even though it was raining. I’d highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a dog walker and would definitely use her again.

At the moment I can only pet-sit at the client's home since my location does not allow for pets. If I am staying in a client's home, I am pretty accommodating to where I'll stay and just always try to ask for a list of house rules or tips to make sure everything goes smoothly.
Home
Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they are house trained or if there are certain things they tend to chew on. It's also helpful to know their typical eating and bathroom routine.
A typical day
Walks will depend what neighborhood I'm in but I'm willing to learn what your dog loves to do! I'm always up for visiting dog parks if your pet prefers or can just inside and see if they want to just cuddle or find some of their toys to try to stimulate some activity. Every dog is different so I just try to make them as comfy as possible!

I'm working full-time but have a standard schedule that allows me to plan for dog walks and general pet care. I also have a car, which allows me to easily commute to different locations.
