Experienced and caring animal lover
Pet care experience
I have a deep passion for animals, and have cared for them in all sorts of situations, from rescues to breeders to deployments. Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of owning a wide variety of pets, and I couldn't imagine my life without them! I'm experienced in a variety of pet care techniques, including bottle feeding, administering medication, and caring for pets with special needs such as urinary incontinence, blindness, deafness, and age-related issues. I'm even comfortable caring for reptiles, aquatic creatures, caged animals, and birds! I believe in fostering positive relationships with all animals, and I promise to care for your pets with the same level of attention and affection that I give to my own pets. In fact, my ultimate dream is to run a neonatal pet rescue for very young animals. It's worth noting that I have an autoimmune disorder that sometimes limits my physical abilities. However, I have three housemates who are available to assist me when needed. If one of them accompanies me on a visit, please rest assured that I am fully responsible for the care of your pets, and they will never be left alone in your home. Furthermore, I don't share keys or codes with my assistants - they're only there to help me. If you have a dog, I'm happy to bring along my own pup for walks or check-ins, as she's great at socializing with other dogs. Alternatively, if your pet is shy, I can leave my dog at home. Additionally, I have three "dog smart" children who have attended workshops to learn about animal behavior. They would love the opportunity to spend extra playtime with your pets, if your furry friends are comfortable with them.
Reviews
Stephanie did a great job with my elderly dog. I will definitely use her again. Very compassionate and a good communicator about daily status.
Stephanie took excellent care of my dogs and my house, and I will be booking with her again
Stephanie was so great and really helped me out at time of crisis. She was willing to work with me on really last minute bookings and was very empathetic
Stephanie is the best and the dogs love her!
About STEPHANNIE M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take care of your home as if it were my in-laws' home, with utmost respect and care. I am well-versed in all types of security measures, ranging from coded entry to hide-a-keys, and will always abide by your safety guidelines that you feel comfortable with.
Information STEPHANNIE M. would like to know about your pet
It's always helpful to have a complete Rover profile for your pet! Providing detailed care instructions including feeding and supplement schedules and measurements is crucial. Also, don't forget to mention any food allergies or ingredients to avoid. If you're interested, you can inquire about additional services like nail trimming or a pampering session! Please keep in mind our policies: - All animals under my care should be listed on Rover. For caged/tanked animals, they can be listed per enclosure. - If you have more than four animals, the visit will require 60 minutes. Otherwise, visits are assumed to be 30 minutes unless discussed otherwise.
A typical day
I really enjoy playing with my furry friends at the dog park. Activities like fetch, going for walks, tug-o-war, and chasing the laser are some of my favorites. I also love giving lots of affection and snuggles to those who prefer a more calm approach. I always make sure to respect their need for personal space. Even the shyest pets can expect to receive a treasured photo from me during my visits.
