Pet care experience
For the last 10 years I have dedicated my life to learning the in’s and outs of pets. I have experience in a dog daycare setting, doing basic dog walking & grooming duties, cleaning kennels, dog daycare supervising, breaking up dog fights, you name it. I have also learned about the “in’s” of pets, while working in an Animal hospital setting directly with vets, asking questions and learning as much as I can as I go. I’ve had both cats and a few dogs my whole life, and I’ve learned some basic puppy training; as well as body language for our furry best friends to help us understand one another and keep each other safe. I am now working from home, so I can cater as consistently as need be. All pets must be good with children as my 5 year old goes everywhere I go, he’s been doing this since he was born so trust and believe he’s a professional as well. Hes really good about always giving our furry friends their space.
Reviews
Stephanie did a great job as usual during out Spring Break vacation. She always kept us up to date on how both of our dogs were behaving and eating.
Took a 10 day long trip and was blessed to feel completely at ease knowing my babies were well cared for. Stephanie sent messages and videos to update us on the stay so we were always in the loop. Definitely recommend!
We have used Stephanie several times and she is always fantastic! She provides plenty of updates and leaves the house nice and clean.
Stephanie was great! My house was perfectly clean and the babies were in good hands. Thank you!

I like to go over details with pet parents beforehand, get to know the pets favorite things to do, or places to go. That way it’s not such an abrupt change for them when owners are away.

Information Stephanie V. would like to know about your pet
Pet(s) must be okay with children,I have 1 son who doesn’t bother with animals whatsoever 5 years old. I would want to know things like if we have any playing preferences? Any allergies? Is it okay for passing people to pet the dog(s)? How have they been with past sitters, any incidents? Any medications or special restrictions?
A typical day
We can enjoy long walks, learn new basic tricks, or just snuggle up together. The activities are entirely based on the pet and their personality, we can be high energy; or we can just relax. My reviews speak for themselves.

I work like everyone else, so the idea I like to tell people is that I’m taking your spot while you’re gone. Now that I work from home it’s a lot easier to do more consistent potty breaks and cuddle time as well.
