About Stephanie

Trusted and experienced pet sitter/dog walker available to walk your dog/s + stay in your home and look after your pets. 

Whilst I am new on this app, I am not new to pet sitting and can provide referees.

I love animals and the company they provide 🐾 I pride myself on providing a professional and valuable service 👍🏻

🐕 I have grown up with cats and dogs and am very comfortable meeting new pets and clients. 

I conduct a 'Meet and Sniff' where we go over any specific details around how to best look after your pet/s. 

For walks, I pick your dog up from your house, take him/her for a decent walk/run round and drop him/her back home. I know I have done my job well when your dog is tired and relaxed after exercise. If we are travelling to the forest or beach for example, I ask your dog has a harness so I can clip them in with a dog seatbelt 🧡

Walks are generally 60mins. One of my favourite places to go is Bottle Lake forest. I tailor walks to suit your dogs needs. On leash or off leash. Locations away from the road.

🏡 For house sitting, I stay at your house and look after it as if it were my own. I ask you make up a clean/neutral bedroom so I can be comfortable in my stays. I will walk your dog each morning (or so) that I stay. You can expect to come home to a clean and tidy home. I bring my own food. I ask you to disclose if you have any cameras on the property. I am confident to lock and unlock premises to keep them secure. I ensure to close windows prior to leaving the house. I do not offer 24/7 care/stay at your property. I will leave 1/2 times per day for 3-5 hours at a time. I will ensure to spend at least approximately 7pm-8am at your house and tailor this to suit your pets needs. For example if your dog cannot be left alone more than 5 hours, I will ensure I am home at lunch time to spend time with him/her, break up their day, have a run round etc.

🦴 Drop ins are 60mins.

I'm available for walks from 10am onwards during the week and all day during the weekends. I'm available for house sitting any day of the week.

💊 I can administer oral and topical medication and provide basic training to dogs; sit, down, spin, roll over, beg, wait. I'm happy to brush cats and dogs and if your dog needs a wash I can do that.

🗑️ I'm able to conduct all the basics to keep a property running. Council bins, water plants, bring in mail. 

Thank you for your potential interest in having me look after your furry friends. I'd be happy to receive a message from you and we can go from there 😊

Thanks, Stephanie 🐾

Both dogs enjoyed their home visits. Great flexibility and communication - we had to change the times for a few of the visits and it was never a problem. We had some really hot days and the dogs got spoilt with frozen treats! Very lucky and happy dogs 😊
