Bark Break! Purr-fect Vacay Care!🐾

Pet care experience

Passionate pet sitter with extensive experience providing loving care to furry friends. Dedicated to ensuring the well-being of animals through genuine compassion and a keen understanding of their needs. Committed to creating a stress-free environment for pets, fostering trust and building lasting connections with both animals and their owners. I said goodbye to my 15yo canine companion Koda in July 2023 and have been ISO more dog sitting opportunities to get my fill of Furbaby pets.

We could not be happier with Stephanie watching our Maggie for 2 nights. She kept us updated throughout the stay via text and pictures. It was clear that Maggie really enjoyed her stay. We 1000% recommend Stephanie if you need someone to board your dog in the Talkeetna area.

Stephanie rose to the ultimate challenge in pet sitting my menagerie while I travelled I to Banff. I had three dogs, a cat and a flock of chickens. One of the dogs required medicated eye ointment 3x a day. Stephanie took superb and kindly care of all my creatures. I am forever grateful!

Safety, trust & environment

Commited to a safe and caring environment, I prioritize the well-being of pets in my home as well as my client's residence. Trust is built through transparent communication providing updates on pets' activities if owners demonstrate that they like to see and hear how their Furbabies are doing. If pups are in my home I prefer, although it's not strictly necessary to crate dogs overnight to keep them and my belongings safe. 🐾

Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet

Things to know to make the day easier for your furbaby. Does your pet play well with other pets? Does your pet play well with humans? Do they walk well on a leash? Do they like car rides? Do they have any food allergies (are they allergic to treats?) Although I never expect an emergency, it is important to have the contact information for your family veterinarian as well as instructions on your wishes in the unlikely case of an event that would require care and you cannot be reached.

A typical day

I will follow your instructions regarding your pets usual routine and expect that walking, playing, brushing, feeding and any special care will be part of that. Pets are allowed on furniture unless you give other instructions. I will not/do not strike pets.
