Stevie

My name is Stevie, and I am 33 years old. I have been an avid animal lover my entire life, dedicating much of my time to caring for and understanding animals. This passion has driven me to pursue various opportunities to work with pets, ensuring they receive the best care possible.

I live in a wonderful area that is exceptionally pet-friendly. One of the highlights of my location is its proximity to Chasewater, a beautiful area perfect for long walks and outdoor activities with pets. There are also numerous other lovely walking spots nearby, providing diverse and stimulating environments for pets to explore and enjoy.

As a lifelong animal lover with a passion for pets of all shapes and sizes, I've cared for dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, and guinea pigs. No dog is too big, and no pet is too small—I love them all!

I can administer medication to pets, but currently, this service is limited to oral medications. I am planning to take a course soon to expand my capabilities to include other types of medication administration.

During home visits, I stay with your pets for up to an hour per visit. This allows me to provide ample care and attention, including feeding, playing, and ensuring their comfort.

- Dog Walking

My dog walks typically last between an hour to 90 minutes. I have a car and a full, clean driving license, so I can take your dogs to various locations. If you have specific places your dog enjoys, please let me know, and I'll make sure to take them there.

- House Sitting

- **Duration**: During house sitting, I can stay overnight and remain in the home for most of the morning. I may pop out occasionally during the day unless you prefer that I stay the entire time.

- **Home Security Measures**: I am comfortable with you having cameras in your home to check in during my stay. I can also bring along any monitoring equipment to ensure the safety and security of your home.

My dedication to animal well-being is backed by a degree in Cat Behavior and Psychology, a qualification I cherish and apply to ensure your feline friends receive the best care possible. My motivation stems from my deep love of animals, having four cats of my own whom I adore. I also understand that not all cats and dogs are cuddlers and that trust needs to be gained, respecting each pet's boundaries. I’m happy to do a meet and greet before anything is established. Additionally, I adore long dog walks and believe that every pet deserves both physical exercise and emotional enrichment. Your pets' happiness and health are my top priorities, making me a trusted choice for your pet sitting needs.
