About Steph

- ABOUT ME -

New to this site but not new to loving pets. I raised a dog within a family home and then on my own after, giving him 16 beautiful years of life. I love all creatures. My work contract recently ended and I'm looking for bits to fill my time and soul. I'm super loving, thoughtful and caring, as well as clean, tidy and respectful. I'll go above and beyond to make sure they (and you) are feeling comfortable and loved !

Update - I've been minding pets for some time now and have loved every single job. I've minded pets of all different sizes, breeds, behaviours etc and look forward to continuing to build on that.

My schedule is generally flexible - besides sometimes popping in and out for errands (fur babies are welcome to join) and some short shifts as a disability support worker which can range from 1-4 hours depending on the day. 

Your pet will be my companion, and I will love and treat them the same as you.

- HOUSE -

I live at the end of a cul-de-sac in a large house which has a medium-large outdoor area (including grass) and is fully fenced. Reedy Creek Fenced Dog Park is my go-to (if appropriate for your pet) but I am also often exploring other areas and parks with the animals I’m taking care of.

Pets can sleep inside and can also share my room if they prefer.

- SERVICES -

Some services I provide are dog sitting (day and overnight), feeding, cuddling, playing, walking, and administering medication.

I’m comfortable caring for pets who are anxious, shy, elderly, high-energy or need a little extra attention. I take the time to let nervous or shy pets come to me at their own pace, using calm interactions, patience and positive reinforcement to help them feel safe. For pets with separation anxiety, I keep them company, maintain their normal routine and provide plenty of reassurance and enrichment. For reactive or fearful dogs, I focus on calm handling, avoiding overwhelming situations and keeping walks safe and stress-free. I’m happy to follow detailed feeding, walking and medication routines, I’m comfortable caring for senior pets or those post-op, who may need slower walks, extra rest or additional monitoring.

For high-energy pets, I provide appropriate exercise, play and mental stimulation, while making sure they’re not overdoing it. With multiple pets, I can manage different feeding routines, personalities and individual needs.

I understand that accidents, thunderstorms and unexpected little challenges are all part of caring for animals — I stay calm, clean up properly and keep you informed if anything unusual happens.

Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep their routine as familiar as possible, send regular photos and updates, and make sure you know they’re safe, 

comfortable and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

I can look after a few pets at the one time. 1 x dog walk (30 mins) per day is included in fee for pet sitting and boarding. 

Doggy day care price varies depending on needs of pet but starts from $15 per hour if at my home, and $20 per hour at owner’s home. 

Happy to come to your or have you come to me, and happy to meet before so we can see if it's the right fit for all of us.

Pretty much open to anything - if there is anything I haven’t mentioned here or you have any questions or concerns, I’m happy to discuss!

*If you can please let me know what you and your fur babies need - such as - general personality, their routine, walks, any separation anxiety, and any other relevant things I might need to know to be able to give them the best possible care* 

Cheers
