Safety, trust & environment

I have experience with regular clients sitting cats and multiple dogs for extended periods of time and care for them as though they are my own. 🤍 I am very respectful while staying in your home and will keep it secure and well cared for.

Information Stephanie W. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know about their daily and nighttime routines, specific commands you use with them so I can stay consistent with your training and cues on leash, at mealtime and for redirecting behaviors, where needed. Also helpful is a heads up for any areas you' re working on or activities to refrain from for the pet's safety. Of course, their dietary, medications or play preferences - so I can keep them happy and healthy while you’re away.

A typical day

I love to play with, take walks and love on your pets! Beach walks, throwing the ball or kitty toys to keep them active and stimulated.

Peace of Mind Care While You Travel

Pet care experience

30 years experience caring for my pets, as well as long-term private sitter for several families with cats and dogs. As a pet-momma who travels occasionally for work, I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone you genuinely trust. I do my best to create a safe, loving and calm environment where both pets and parents feel comfortable and supported. I am dependable and reliable, and pay close attention to routines, schedules, walks and exercise, affection and playtime needs. I also LOVE taking and sharing photos of your pets and all the things they do which make me laugh and smile so you can feel connected to them and reassured while away. I take pride in being reliable, communicative, organized and attentive. My goal is that you have peace of mind to help make your time away from your pets as stress-free and enjoyable as possible! Experience with puppies as well as senior dogs and cats, as well as medications.

Stephanie was so great with our 2 boys!! Our one dog can be weird with new people and he loved her immediately!! We got married over the weekend and she was so sweet, she sent photos of the dogs wearing a sign that says, "Our humans are getting married today!". It made my day getting that text!! Overall, I think Stephanie was absolutely wonderful and we will definitely be using her in the future!

Stephanie was fantastic with my sweet and spicy Cattle Dog. Went above and beyond, kept me informed with great photos, cleaned up and washed bedding (didn’t have to). I’ll definitely use her again!

I am so pleased to hear that Stephanie is joining Rover! She is a perfect fit. She has taken meticulous care of my animals over the years. If my dogs and cats could talk….well…..I think they do! ….they would tell me how much fun they had while I was away and how much love they received. If you are looking for a seamless experience for your animals and to be able to leave town with no worries, Stephanie is your gal.

Stephanie has watched our dogs and cat multiple times, and we truly could not ask for a more reliable, trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet and house sitter. Knowing our pets are with her gives us complete peace of mind whenever we travel. She is incredibly attentive, communicative, responsible, and genuinely loving with animals. Our pets absolutely adore her, and it’s obvious she treats them like family. She also takes exceptional care of our home, always leaving everything spotless and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone with this level of integrity, warmth, professionalism, and consistency. We feel extremely fortunate to have found Stephanie and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for the absolute best care for their pets and home. Five stars across the board!
