About: I have worked at an animal clinic before so I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds! I have also helped with some of my friends and family’s animals while they have been gone! That includes bathing, feeding, walking, and spending quality time with them! Animals is one of my biggest passions, and I hope I can be help to your family! I just recently got a job as a grooming apprentice making my way to be a groomer as well! I just started becoming a grooming apprentice as of April 2025, I am making my way to be a groomer and I work every weekday from 7:40am to around 3-4:30pm each day. I am a part time college student. I have classes on Wednesday and Thursday nights! I am available everyday of the week besides the nights I have class form 6–10. On Sunday I go to church from 10:30/12 so that’s the only time I’m busy on Sunday’s as well! I’m looking for a full time job so my hours may change here in the future! I have a fenced in yard with two playful dogs! If needed I do have crates that they can be put in! I also am not far from a dog park!

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 10 years, which taught me a lot about daily pet responsibilities and the bond animals form with us. For the past two years, I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I walk dogs, clean kennels, and help care for cats. This hands-on experience has helped me become confident handling a variety of animal temperaments and needs. I bring patience, attentiveness, and a real love for animals to every interaction. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I start my mornings with feeding and walking, followed by playtime or any special care needed throughout the day. Evenings are dedicated to another walk, meals, and winding down with cuddles or calm time. I maintain a flexible schedule to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize safety by pet-proofing my environment, removing any harmful items, and creating a calm and clean space. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and ensure routines are maintained. Whether in my home or theirs, I monitor pets closely, provide positive reinforcement, and keep them comfortable with familiar items like their toys or bedding. I also keep emergency contacts and a vet plan ready at all times.

“Steph did a great job of taking care of our pup! We appreciated her being available on such short notice and her communication with how our dog, Charlie was doing while we were gone. Thanks Steph!”

Whether it’s belly rubs on the couch or zoomies in the yard, I’m here to make sure your pet gets tons of love and fun while you’re away!

About: I have had pets of every kind since I was little! I am able to give medication, clip nails, give baths, walk, etc. If there is something you need that I’m inexperienced in, I am open to learning! I currently stay home with my two boys so I have a very flexible schedule for your furry friend’s needs! We are able to do walks, home visits, or board them here. We have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs here! Lots of play and love available. We can also crate your dog (ours get crated nightly) or they can snuggle with us in bed if that is what they’re used to! Dogs are welcome on furniture here. We share this home with our pets in every way!
