Caring for Pets in Their Own Home
Pet care experience
Hello my name is Stephanie and I would love to take care of your pets! Please note that I do require a meet and greet before booking for the first time with me! I work full-time but I have been pet sitting as well for several years now (I just moved to Charlotte from Columbia) and I can’t imagine my life without it! I’m not able to have dogs in my apartment, so I don't have room to have a dog of my own, so I would love to take care of yours and spread some love their way! I've been dog sitting on Rover for several years now and love it! I have had hundreds of sittings and tons of experience caring for dogs and giving them some love while their owner is away. I love animals and have come to think of dog sitting as a way to get to hang with all my fur-friends I've made across the Columbia area! My mom back home has two yorkies, my grandmother has a morkie, and my aunt has a lab! So I've been around pets for a long while! Whenever they've been out of town or busy, I've taken care of the dogs and ensured they're fed, walked, bathed, and happy! I am HUGE animal lover and am happy to take care of your fur babies like they are my own! I also have volunteered many times at Pawmetto Lifeline taking care of the dogs and puppies there looking for their forever home! Should you need an in home sitter, someone to walk your dog, or spend some time with them while you're away at work, I am happy to help! I know that new environments can be hard for many pets, and so I am happy to travel to your home in order to keep your pets at ease. Pets with medical needs are not a problem as well! I've given many dogs and cats medicine and quite capable! I'm happy to travel around Columbia and the surrounding areas to work with you to ensure your pets are taken care of to the highest standard and exactly as you would like! Please note that I do require a meet and greet before booking for the first time with me. This is so I can meet your pets and they can become familiar with me before I hang with them for the first time! Plus we can go over their routine and habits during this time as well. Feel free to contact me today to let me know how I can be of assistance to you! Thanks and I look forward to meeting you and your pets soon!
Reviews
Stephanie is consistent, caring, and responsible. Happy pups and travels!
Stephanie did an amazing job, as always! Would definitely recommend!
Stephanie recently watched (for the first time) my 13 year old pitbull mix rescue pup in my home from Wednesday to Sunday. I can't tell you how much the pictures and communication comforted me. My girl has a bit of anxiety, but Stephanie was able to give her so much love and affection that Minnie was sad to see her leave. That says a lot about her confidence and relationship with dogs. Will definitely use Stephanie again!!
Stephanie did an amazing job with our dog, 2 cats and an axolotl! She sent lots of pictures and sent updates. She’s awesome!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets with love and following all directions given to me. Whatever guidelines are given during the meet and greet or left written for my during my stay I will make sure follow! I’m very diligent and do not like to leave pets unattended outside. I always like to keep them in my sight! Safety first!
Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet
During our meet and greet we will make sure to go over their routine, feeding schedule, activities and things they like (ex. walks, play habits, snuggles, etc.), things they don't like (ex. rain, thunder, other animals, etc.), allergies, medicine, etc. I love to have a thorough run-through of your pets and their routines to make sure I am extra prepared to make my stay with them feel like a fun time for them too! I also like to take notes during our meeting and love it when my clients leave written notes during my stay too!
A typical day
I love to go on walks with them, play, and snuggle! I can walk them in their neighborhood or take them to the dog park, whatever they like to do! We basically hang out the whole time and become buddies--whether it's cuddles on the couch or hours of fetch, we will definitely participate in whatever activities make them the happiest!

I tend to schedule my day around your pet’s day and needs. I try to stick to their normal routine for their comfort and ease. We will always cover their schedule during our meet and greet as well.
