Lover of all animals !

Pet care experience

From rodents, cats, dogs & reptiles...caring for animals is my favorite thing to do. I used to work at a doggy daycare with dogs of all sizes. My job there would be to play, feed, exercise, and bathe each and every one of them throughout the day. I find so much joy when around cats and dogs, that I really enjoyed this job and I was able to gain much more experience than without it. Not only did I work with dogs in the past...I own two myself and dog sit for a few neighbors when they're away. This does give me a lot of experience with puppies, adults, and seniors! In my care, I will make sure you and your pet feel safe and comfortable! Dogs are family and I know that. They'll be treated and cared for as my own and have most, if not all, my attention on them throughout the day. My goal is to build a strong and trusting relationship with your pet (and of course the Pet Parent)! If that means staying for more than 6 hours a day, or any special care they need, so be it! My time is the pets' time. Thanks!

Once again, Stephanie did a great job. It was pouring all weekend but she made the best of it with Barney. I feel so relaxed when she is with my dog. She's the best and I'm so grateful I found her.

Stephanie goes above and beyond. We never have to worry about our cats when we’re away and my family loves to read her detailed updates.

Stephanie did such a fantastic job with our dog Barney. This was our first time away from him and we felt like we were leaving our baby! We were so nervous. We had a meet and greet with Stephanie and she walked Barney a couple of times before we left. As a result, Barney felt comfortable around her and it was clear that he really liked her. Stephanie sent lots of photos while we were gone which we loved. We returned home to a very happy puppy who had been well taken care of by a loving sitter. She is the BEST and we will absolutely be using her again. Thank you so much, Stephanie, for taking good care of our best boooyyyyyy. :-) Barb and James

Safety, trust & environment

When doing any kind of house sittings, walks, or drop-ins; I do make sure of any safety precautions. This includes making sure the harness is fitted well and the leash is surely attached before heading out, cleaning countertops so a larger dog cannot eat anything it isn't supposed to, and crate any dog that needs to be crated unless stated otherwise. My main goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and safe :)

Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet

Before a house sitting request...I'd like to know the general care the certain dog needs to make sure I'm giving the best of the best care. I'd also make sure there's trust between the dog and me, so with that being said, a meet and greet for me is necessary! Fortunately for me, I have no preference of breeds. I love all types and sizes!

A typical day

It's all up to the Pet Parent in my case. A casual walk would be through the neighborhood or neighborhood park. I like to accommodate your pets needs; so whatever you may need for your pet, I'll get it done :)
