Safety, trust & environment
I currently live in a townhome only steps away from a hiking/walking trail. I am happy to take doggies on a nice walk through the trail to get some energy out and enjoy the fresh Vermont air. I am also very comfortable caring for your pet in your own home and I have experience with dogs who need additional attention/medication/dietary needs. I am calm and patient and will ensure your pet feels safe and happy.

Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm a New England native and have been proud to call Burlington, VT home for the past 3 years. I absolutely love this community and all the outdoor activities it offers—I'm an active person and enjoy getting outside in any season, especially with a furry companion by my side. I've been around animals my whole life and have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes—from tiny breeds to gentle giants. Growing up with dogs instilled in me a deep love and respect for animals, and that passion only grew during the seven years I spent working with and riding horses. I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society of Chittenden County in South Burlington, which has given me even more hands-on experience and training with a wide variety of pets and personalities. There I learned about the importance of petting consent, dog walking safety, and canine behavior and body language. Currently, I have a few regular dog-walking and sitting clients through FPF, and I often help out with family and friends’ pets when needed. I'm available for drop-ins and dog walks in Burlington and surrounding towns upon request. Whether you're looking for a quick visit, a neighborhood stroll, or a reliable sitter while you're away, I’d love to help care for your pet like they’re part of my own family.
Reviews

Stephanie is a huge help and we are relieved to have her services, she goes above and beyond.

Our pup has separation anxiety and has a hard time connecting with other people, so when Stephanie sent a photo of our dog resting her head on Stephanie's leg, we instantly relaxed. We've never seen Molly that calm without us there -- or frankly, even when she's with us and we're visiting other people. Stephanie was perfectly responsive and a pleasure to work with, and we so appreciate her care and kindness.

Stephanie takes excellent care of our buddy, Scout! She is timely, gives good updates, and well loved by Scout. Thank you!
Stephanie is great! She is communicative, timely, and my dog loves her! I would use her again in a heartbeat!
