Hi there, my name is Stephanie! I have been in the veterinary field for over 9 years and have been privately petsitting for even longer. I am a veterinary technician who has worked in emergency, surgery, general practice, dentistry, AND urgent care in Fear Free and Low Stress settings. The whole gamut! I have a dog and cat of my own who are the lights of my life, that's why I can understand how special it is to have someone else watch over your fur-babies! I’ll tend to your pets as my own and show my compassion towards every single one of them!
