Professional Pet Buddy

Pet care experience

I just moved from Florida to Naperville. I am very excited to start my business here and meet new clients and their babies. For over 3 years I've provided excellent care to all of my babies and I developed very strong relationships with my clients. It is very hard and sad to leave them, but I am looking forward to establishing strong bonds and relationships here in Naperville. I’ve had a dog my entire life. We also rescued a cat that was left behind when his owner moved and a kitten that was separated from his family during a tropical storm and was crying in some bushes. I couldn't imagine living without an animal in my home to love and care for. I am trained in CPR and First Aid and I have a lot of experience walking dogs, playing with all types of animals, providing basic care, administering medication, dog/cat/guinea pig/hedgehog/fish, etc. sitting and giving all animals love. I am open to taking care of just about any animal! I volunteered at an animal shelter for over three years and after a few years of being a part time pet buddy, I made it my fulltime career. I could not be happier! It is exciting to see so many people fostering, adopting and bringing home puppies and kittens. Sometimes life can become a little hectic and schedules become tight. That is where I can help! I can hang out and give amazing belly rubs, play with their favorite toys, go for walks, run in the grass or just give extra love and cuddles while you are at work or away from home. I am patient and I can adjust activities according to the needs of your baby. I currently am unable to provide services in my home. However, I will schedule multiple visits a day if you are in need of extended care while you are away from home. I provide detailed notes and tons of pictures after each visit! My visits can be 30, 45 or 60 minutes long.

This was my first time using a dog walker while I was out of town for 8 days. Stephanie was the absolute best and Jax loved her! Thank you Stephanie for taking such good care of my furry son and giving me total peace of mind to enjoy vacation. I highly recommend Stephanie and will be using her for all future dog walking/pet sitting needs!

Stephanie was great with Maisie! She is professional, friendly and very reliable. Maisie loved her and she helped me out when I was in a jam, which I really appreciated!! Would happily book her again and highly recommend her services!

Stephanie did an amazing job for our dogs, cats, and rabbits! We short notice needed someone and hope to book her again. We got great updates and our pets loved her. She even was able to do our senior dobie's meds with no issue. Thank you Stephanie!!!

Information stephanie w. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog/cat/other have any allergies? Does your dog/cat/other have any habits I should be aware of? Does your pet have a favorite toy or activity they enjoy doing? Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Animals? Strangers? Children? I do not have any breed preference. I have experience with all sizes, breeds and ages.

A typical day

I am very active and I enjoy walking, jogging, riding my bike and just being outside. Whether we are on a walk, in the back yard, rolling in the grass, or hanging out in your home playing with toys and cuddling, your baby will be happy and loved.
