I had an unexpected short notice trip to Florida and complications at the airport caused me to reach out to Stephanie, fingers crossed, that she would have availability to keep my baby chiweenie, Evie while away. She responded almost instantly and recognized my anxiety. She was so sweet, I just felt like I known her my whole life! She even drove over an hour to the airport to pick up my pet! While I was away she gave me the option to video visit with my pet, what a relief. She sent me a picture updates letting me know things were fine periodically. As in overprotective pet owner I really appreciated Stephanie going the extra mile! When I returned I picked up my happy little doggy she was clean and taken very well care of! 100% we're recommend Stephanie!

Stephanie R.'s Experience
***Depending on where I need to drive (more than 35 minutes from my home), my prices are subject to change. *** I have had all kinds of animals since I was a kid, so I have experience with many different kinds. I have had more dogs than anything, and currently have a french bulldog mix. He is fixing to be 7, and is a rescue.

A typical day
I can base the day to tailor it to your pets needs and routine. I can however tell you what my day looks like with my dog. He is fed twice a day, 8:30am and 4:30pm, a half cup each time. I wash his water bowl and give him fresh water both times as well. I give him his vitamin chews and then he will generally go grab a toy to play with. Occasionally he will want me to play fetch with him. He will also follow me around the house while I do chores. I will take him on a walk if its not too hot since he does have French bulldog in him and I don't want him to get overheated. He spends a lot of time in my lap while I crochet, and at night we go to bed together. He loves car rides, and I take him at least every other day on one. He has a stroller for when we go out in public. He loves other animals and people, and is very social and well behaved.

Pets Stephanie has cared for
Reviews
Stephanie came to stay at my home while our family took a vacation in florid for about 7 days. I have a small farm style property consistent of some higher end chickens, regular chickens, registered rabbits, and a lab outside. Inside I have crested geckos, a bearded dragon, a shitzu and a chihuahua. She did amazing! My dragon likes only myself, and she could hold and pet him by my return. He also ate for her and he usually stops eating as does our shitzu. Both animals did amazing eating. My house was just as i left it and my animals in the same or better shape than I left them. My inside dogs are very scared of strangers, and they love her very much. She also took the initiative and cleaned out my coop thats outside and my tanks inside. This was not ask of her. All that was requested was extensive feeding, light schedules, and sleeping at my house. She answered the phone and even facetimed our pets. Rates were reasonable and affordable, ill hire again
