Complete Loving Care!

Pet care experience

A metropolitan walker with 7 years of experience in pack walks. Moved to the Monterey area after living in D.C. for many years. Looking forward to servicing the community here. Have taken care of all sorts of pets including dogs and cats to birds and hedgehogs since early childhood. I've always known petcare was a passion of mine and have found my calling in professional care. I use only eco-friendly products and give only low calorie treatos. (Unless otherwise permissed) Have a multitude of recommendations from happy clients whose furry family members love me. Have some experience with training and am working to get my certification. Rover insures services but I also have my own business insurance for added security. Follow my dog walking adventures on Instagram @stevie.walks I am currently working 5 days a week at a local bicycle shop that specializes in sidecars for dogs. This is really making me happy as I get to see the dogs having so much fun all the time but it also limits my schedule. I am unable to make mid day breaks for walks. I understand this limits my ability for pet care but I wanted to keep my profile active if you think your dogs schedule may be conducive with morning and evening walks. Right now my hours are 10am-6pm and I am off work for 2 consecutive days a week. I am also a professional photographer. - All photos taken by me. To inquire about pet portrait sessions just send me a message.

Stevie is an awesome pet sitter. She bonded with both our cat and dog immediately. She is a capable and trustworthy person. We will definitely ask her to pet and house sit again.

Stevie is the GREATEST. Words can't describe how great she is with dogs. Literally. Every. Dog. She walked my pup for years with other dogs and my pup can be pretty shy. Not with Stevie, though! Can't recommend her enough.

Stevie helped us on a last minute dog walk when I was under the weather. The girls instantly loved her. They came back happy and ready for dinner!

Stevie walked my dog most weekdays for about two years. My dog can be a little tricky, I was looking for someone who could handle a dog with some dog reactivity. Stevie said she could manage and she really could! She knew about having high value treats to distract him. It was great to know that we were all on the same page. I was always happy know he was safe with her. On a lighter note, my dog was totally obsessed with her. If we ran into her in the neighborhood, he would want to run over and roll on her feet or lick her face. We miss her since she moved!

Currently, I am unable to board your dogs in my own house at this time but I am happy to do so in your home.

Information Stevie M. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I love them all. General questions would be on social behavior with other doggos. What is your pets typical schedule? Will you be home during my visit or away and if your dog is comfortable with new people coming inside the house? Does your pet have any favorite hiding places in the home so I can easily find them? Do they have any resource guarding tendencies? I always ask about any diet restrictions and health concerns to make sure I stick to what is best for your pet.

A typical day

Love long walks around my neighborhood while working of a few easy training tools like 'focus' and 'heel'. We enjoy trips to the beach to run and stretch our legs. Am happy to go to the local dog parks as well if you would like. (Will only do this upon request for safety reasons)
