Animal lover
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Stephanie. I love animals and the joy they bring to our lives. I understand animal’s needs for care and love. I use positive reinforcement training techniques. I can pet sit for dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds and some others by request, like chickens, goats, alpaca and llamas. I volunteer at an alpaca farm. I am available for house sitting overnight stays, drop in’s for walks, feeding and potty breaks. My animal experience started young, I grew up on a small farm in San Diego. We had many animals including dogs, cats, chicken, ducks, geese, pigs, and rabbits. As an adult I have had a sweet indoor/outdoor cat that I cared for him young through old age, a Pit Bull-American Bulldog mix, a turtle and more cats. I have a Bachelors of Science in Biology with a Water Studies minor from MSU Denver and the One World, One Water center. I choose to pet sit because I enjoy being with all animals, and I love cats and dogs.
Reviews
Stephanie took great care of the pets and house while we were gone! Always fast to respond and sent great pictures. Thank you Stephanie!
Stephanie was responsive, accommodating, kind and caring with our pup! Would highly recommend!
Stephanie was wonderful to have to check on our dogs midday, while I was away on vacation. We met beforehand and walked through our routine. She was prompt, shared photos everyday and we communicated easily through a change in plans with the snowstorm. She gave our old dog a nice little walk outside and took our teenager dog for longer walks through the neighborhood. They were spoiled! I would highly recommend Stephanie to take care of your furry friends when you need it!
Stephanie was amazing with our two dogs and caring for the house. Great communicator and would not hesitate to have her help out again!

I ask questions to get to know the animal’s routine, how you would like your pets and home to be cared for while I am there. I will send you picture updates of your pets while I am in your home. I leave your home clean after the stay. I will also provide other basic services such as bringing in the mail, watering plants, adjusting shades, putting out trash bins etc. Just let me know what you need!
Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special concerns or treatment that your pet needs. I am comfortable administering medications and hiding pills in food, if that’s how they like it. I'd like to know a bit about the following: - Eating habits/schedule - Walk/exercise schedule - How well they get along with other dogs - How they spend their time when you're at work - Allergies (if applicable) - Medications (if applicable) - Any other info you find relevant, including any quirks
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks to explore the neighborhood you are living in. Playing games with them like fetch and tug o war. I’m happy to snuggle up on the couch with pets while I read.
