I've had some very good Catsitters in the past but Stephanie certainly exceeded all expectations! She seems to have cat magnetism as my very neurotic cats warmed up to her very quickly; one of them even enjoying her lap! She communicated with me frequently and sent pictures of my babies to me.
 

When I arrived home my place was at least as tidy as when I left it, and she'd washed all the sheets and towels. She'd left food enough to last me several days so after an exhausting overseas flight I didn't need to go running the store. 

Do I even need to say I highly recommend her....and look forward to her returning!??

We absolutely loved Stephanie and highly recommend her as your next sitter. She loves animals and really engages with them. Stephanie is very independant and outgoing. She had never been to Mexico and does not speak Spanish, but she managed quite well and I think she really enjoyed her time here.

All three of our cats fell in love with Stephanie, even the fickle one, Carmelo, who can be a little shy. And Stephanie kept in touch with us while we were away with pictures and texts. 

Furthermore, the house was immaculate when we arrived home. I really appreciated that.

She was definitely one of our favorite housesitters. Do not hesitate to have her sit for you.

Stephanie cared for our dogs while we were away for 10 days - and she was a delight.  She arrived on time, communicated well, learned the routine and went out of her way to get comfortable with the dogs the afternoon that she arrived.  While we were gone, there were regular updates and she checked in with questions.  We highly recommend Stephanie and hope that we can host her again!

Stephanie is everything I would have hoped for in a house and pet carer: responsible, smart, respectful of our home, and loving to our little old kitty. Bonus: She has a wicked good sense of humor! It was very easy to communicate before our trip, while we were away,  and after we returned. She even periodically sent pics of our cat while we were away which was fun and heartwarming. Our house was neat as a pin when we returned with a lovely note and yummy chili and other goodies in the fridge. I highly recommend Stephanie as a house and pet carer.

“Absolutely fabulous,” is the way we would describe our experience with Stephanie Lutes.

She cared for our home and our dog, Shasta,  as well as anyone could hope for. Stephanie took Shasta for daily hikes, bonding with her, and keeping her exercised and active. We think Shasta would have been happy to go home with Stephanie.

We had Stephanie stay a few extra days with us and found her pleasant and enjoyable as a house guest. We definitely recommend Stephanie to care for your home and pets. You’ll be pleased with her as well as her attention to your beloved pets. Roy and Ann

Stephanie was a guest in our home for about 10 days in September to look after our 6 cats.  When you are meeting someone for the first time there is always a level of nervousness and uncertainly on whether it will be mutually acceptable.  As soon as we met her, we knew she'd be perfect.  Not only was she punctual, reliable, clean, and trustworthy, she also made a point of understanding each of the cats' individual personalities when getting to know them.  She sent us messages about how they were doing and even welcomed us back home with some soup!

She has lots of energy and nothing seems to faze her.  And did I mention that she has a wicked sense of humour?  We loved having her in our home and taking care of our kitties and have asked her back for our trip in April 2022.  I wish we could have her for all of our trips but, alas, she wants to experience the world outside of Springwater, Ontario.  Of course, I don't blame her, but I am jealous of her other housesits.  You need not have any qualms about having Stephanie take care of your pets or home.
