Availability

I currently work in a lab, and my schedule is pretty flexible than most other individuals. I am typically at work from between 2 to 4 hours a day. I have the flexibility to leave work whenever I need to and then if I needed to come back I could. Therefore if I am staying over And I see myself being at work for more than six hours a day, then I would just split my day and half and go home and walk or feed whichever animal I’m working with, then head back to work.

Information Stephany D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dogs habits, such as if they like to sleep on a pillow the certain times of day they should be fed, or specific activities they especially like to partake in. I do not have a breed preference! I love any and all dogs!

A typical day

Depending on the energy level of the animals that I’m taking care of, I will do different things. For example, if I am taking care of a puppy, I will make sure that I keep the puppies stimulated and go through training sessions with them. For most other ages, if there is a backyard present, I will try to play frisbee, throw around the ball, or just run around with the dogs. I’m a very energetic and active person and I am always ready to hang out with animals.

Pet care experience

Hello my name is Stephany Dos Santos and I have both baby sat and walked dogs for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of a wide range of dogs including Yorkshire, Gold Retriever, Mini Australian Shepherd, Poodle, Chihuahua , and etc. What you would love about me is that with my different experiences I could handle any dog because I treat them equally and also as if they were people. I am available any time of any day and to walk or sit your dog! I am a very funny and energetic individual which makes it easier for me to get along with dogs and run around with them. I would really love to be there when you need me most! Thank you for reading my profile and I hope to meet you!

We have booked Steph many times to sit for our dog and she takes excellent care of both our pup and house. She is reliable, attentive, and prompt to reply to messages. She is our go to Rover and the first person we reach out to when we need a dog sitter.

Steph was an excellent sitter! We appreciated her willingness to come to our home and meet the dogs before she stayed with them. She was very communicative and sent photos! We would absolutely recommend her.

We’ve used Steph a few times to watch our dog while we are out of town, and I can’t say more good things about our experience! She takes great care of our dog, keeps us updated with photos, and the house is in excellent shape when we return home. Highly recommend!
