Safety, trust & environment

When pet sitting I try to keep their life and schedule as normal as possible. I review walks, how often outside is needed and other details to keep the continuity of your pets life while their human is away. My dog was diabetic for more than half of his life who needed 2 injections daily. I’m very good at getting most any dog to take their medication.

Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet

Please list any quirks your dog has so I can be prepared should it present itself while I’m with them. Examples: doesn’t like other dogs, not used to children, doesn’t like to be pet a certain way, food guarding, obsessive behaviors

A typical day

I like to know what types of activities you pet loves so I can add those things to my stay if possible! If they love people and to socialize we could go for walks in places where there is good foot traffic. If they like car rides then we can go on adventures together!

Pet care experience

I have owned and taken care of pets for over 25 years. I’m good with dogs that need medication, including injections. I stay at the animals home with them so their schedule stays the same even if their humans need to be away.

Stephanie took amazing care of our dog and home while housesitting during our honeymoon! She was very thoughtful and communicative. Would absolutely recommend!

Stephanie is a wonderful pet/house sitter. She took excellent care of our animals and our home. She sent frequent photos and videos of our pets and was very helpful and flexible when our trip home was delayed.

it was readily apparent when Stephanie came for the meet and greet at. She has a great sense of dogs. She was calm and caring with my dog and he calmed down as well. She took excellent care of my very big and very anxious dog, who also takes lots of meds because he broke his leg and had surgery, she had great tips and worked with him to curb his barking and even brought a toy puzzle for his food which does help distract him for a while. She had no difficulty walking him and handled him with ease she sent great pictures which also noted on the videos how calm and patient she was with him. She left my house spotless She’s the best babysitter that I’ve ever had and I would highly recommend her and will certainly hope to have her take care of Wally again

Stephanie is so wonderful! She is extremely knowledgeable about dogs and caring for their needs and we had so much peace knowing how happy and well taken care of our dog was with her while we were away. Truly couldn’t recommend her more!
