She was communicative, sent photos and videos, kept me updated daily, and the best of all she was SO SWEET AND LOVING TO THEM! I could easily see her love for them! 💞 She also took them to the groomers for me as I requested. Her son played with them and my dogs got along with her sweet dog.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and I genuinely love being around dogs. I will care for your pet as if it were my own :) I work 15 days a month and have the rest of the days off to fully commit to your pet! Lots of time for attention and playtime I recently moved to Wellington with lots of walking trails around my neighborhood. I have a big back yard perfect for running around. I am available for overnight stays as well. I am also available to visit your home and offer potty breaks and walks

“Stephanie is a great pet sitter. She loves animals and being active. I would highly recommend her. She makes time to play with my dogs, even though one my dogs is a “puller” she is still able to keep him in line. I don’t trust many people with my pets but she always shows up when she says she will and makes sure my fur babies are well taken care of.”
