Your Tampa area pet sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Stephanie. I was inspired to become a pet sitter primarily by my own dog, Rocket, who came into my life September 2018. I’ve owned pets pretty much since I was two years old (I’m twenty-four now). For the past seven years I’ve owned eight cats, a dog, and a leopard gecko. I have walking and sitting experience on both Wag and Rover as well as dog grooming at Petsmart. My home is too full right now for dog boarding, but I might be able to in the future when I move into a larger house. I’m a very active pet sitter. My schedule is currently open and available for dog sitting. I work full time at Pet Smart as a dog groomer which only impacts pet sitting occasionally. I will usually black out the days I can’t dog sit on my calendar and try to update it every day. I’m confident we’ll be able to find a pet care schedule that works for you.

Stephanie followed all of my detailed directions for dog sitting my high maintenance rescues. She put my mind at ease with her frequent updates and clear communication. I'm so relieved to have found a new reliable sitter ! My dogs are thrilled as well!! Thanks so much!

We use Stephanie for a repeat walking service once a week and my pup loves his time with her. She is prompt to and from walks and very easy to communicate with through the app.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pets by seeing what your normal routine is and how I can fit into that. So for example I offer at least a potty break in the morning, late afternoon, and evening. I can try to squeeze one more in during my lunch time at work if your are close enough and if it’s possible but a lunchtime potty break isn’t always possible for me to provide.

Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet

I need to know about any breed or dog-specific behaviors or concerns such as overheating, overwork, or breathing issues that I should look out for. Does your pooch have any food allergies? Are you currently working on training your pet? If so, would you like me to help? How can I help?

A typical day

We’ll play fetch and tug-of-war, and I’ll make sure to give your pup plenty of scratches and belly rubs if they enjoy that. I do offer treats as long as they are owner-approved. When we go on walks, we’ll probably just explore the neighborhood unless you have specific instructions. I’ll treat your pets like my own by making sure that your dog is fed, well groomed, played, with, walked, and loved. I provide pictures and updates to my human clients to let them know how things are going. I work at PetSmart, but it doesn’t usually impact my pet sitting.
