Stephanie’s Bio
Pets have always been in my life and always will be. I grew up with St. Bernards and I always had a cat. I will treat your pet(s) with love and respect. From 1983-2007 I petsat on a full-time regular basis. I have taken care of Rhodesians, Bull Mastifs, dalmatians, labs, goldens, terriers, bulldogs, spaniels, and many breeds of cats including Persians, Birmans, Ragdolls, Savannahs, Bengals, Russian Blues, and Tabbies. Additionally, I do overnights as requested. From May 2016 to present I have provided pet care for 60 + pet parents. My duties include cat/dog care, playtime, grooming, plant care, mail collection, trash/recycling to curbside if needed, and a daily picture text of your pet.
Below are three 5-star reviews, I have 55:
Call Stephanie Already!
"Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of my Scottish Fold cat, Henry. Every day of my week long vacation I received photos and updates of her visit with him, and knowing he was clearly happy and well cared for made vacation all the better! She is a true animal lover and an amazing find."
Stephanie was a wonderful ! It's April 2017 and we've returned from another trip and Stephanie has again taken extraordinarily great care of our dog and home!
"We just returned from a two week vacation and left Stephanie in charge of home and hound- our adored English Setter Beau. Stephanie was fantastic and sent us daily photos and notes about Beau. She was so very helpful and eager to have everything work well for all. She stayed in our home so we were assured there would be no crises while we were away during a January in New England. We returned to find our home immaculate, a shiny clean kitchen, and sheets and towels all laundered and bed made. She had taken very good care of Beau by showering him with affection and by regularly brushing him (he's very hairy and sheds all the time!) and vacuuming the family room and kitchen where he says. We're looking forward to our next vacation when we can have Stephanie back again!"
My cat's new best friend!
"Stephanie is such a find. She is communicative and reliable and just plain nice. Best of all, Sophie (my cat) who is otherwise pretty standoffish just loves her. I (we) couldn't be happier."

Reviews
Stephanie helped us at short notice with our toddler and tiny baby recently. She was super easy to communicate with, prompt, reliable, and really pleasant. Our toddler had a very fun time playing with dinosaurs with her, and I really enjoyed the rapport they had by the time we returned. Stephanie was great with our newborn even when she was crying. We’ll definitely be in touch with her again!
We hired Stephanie for a last-minute weekend gig; we needed her to meet us at a hotel to put our toddler to sleep while we spent the evening at a party at the hotel restaurant. We also planned to use her the following night for a wedding. When I texted Stephanie about arrival times she told me to "relax" and when she showed up she seemed flustered and a little out of it and didn't even greet our toddler. She said it took her over 2 hours to reach the destination and told us her toll cost $3. But she knew the location of the venue when she agreed to take the job. We texted a bit through the evening and my husband and I were concerned that she was simply not understanding what we were saying to her. He ended up going up early to talk to her and they had an altercation; she said she was not going to return the next night and complained that she was not getting paid enough (we paid her the rate that she advertised on this site and even paid for her toll, to avoid more argument). overall our experience was not good and we would not recommend her. I don't know if she was having an off night but I would not have trusted my daughter with her for a second evening. I rarely if ever leave negative reviews for people or businesses, but I felt it was important to share our experience so that others could make an informed decision, especially because there were no other reviews here and my conversation with her in advance of the gig didnt raise any red flags.
