About Steph
My core motivation to be a pet sitter is to bring more play and joy in my day to day. I love to take care of dogs, learn about them (quirk, personality, unique dog needs) and to observe them so that our interactions are better.
im a down-to-earth, patient, and curious individual with a love for nature, and taking care of people and their loved pet companions.
I do have previous experience pet sitting with my neighbour's dog until I had to move further away from them and couldn't continue looking after them. My experience led to learn about spending time with the dogs 2-3 hours at a time. Walking them, feeding them, playing with their toys with them and fulfilling the request of administering oral medication for one of the dogs. I looked after two small white dogs.
since my previous saw me house sitting for them. I looked after their kitchen, backyard, and making sure the mess the dogs made are cleaned. There were a time when one of the dogs did a stool on the carpet and had to strategically remove that for them. I've also got experience with being an experience commercial cleaner where I efficiently clean spaces in a timely manner that ensures 3-4 buildings are done.
I don't take any pets into my home.
I'm usually available weekdays 8-2pm. But my currently availability as of July 11-July 15 will be 1pm-8:30pm.
Dog walking will usually last for 30-60 minutes. Going into parks, dog friendly area, and exploring your area of residence during the walk. I've lived in Halls Head, Falcon, and now living in Dawesville area. So my knowledge of different areas is pretty good.
My services also include constant supervision during home visits. And due to my previous experience, I am able to administer oral medications if needed. All during home visits.
With home visits, I'll be staying for 3 hours with pets, taking in the mail, wiping tables, basic tidying up and putting things away where I will be asking you where you usually put things and how you like it done, watering plants, loading dishwashers if needed.
For house sitting, I'll be able to stay for 5-7 hours. During the house sit, I'll be locking all doors, closing windows, and during entering and exiting, making sure to close or lock the doors. If you do have a security system set up, checking and making sure I know your specific security operation so I can ensure your home is safe even if you're not there.
