About: I have been raised with various animals since childhood, mostly dogs. I have experience with both big and small dogs, as well as a senior dog that I care for myself. Also have cared for cats and own one. Most experienced with dog sitting & walking. I have an extremely flexible schedule and am looking to make this a full-time job. I am a college student home for the summer so I have lots of free time on my hands! I am open to most services and am more than willing to going on walks, feedings, play dates, etc.! Very open and an easy learner!
“So grateful to Emily for taking such great care of our guinea pigs and cat!”
“Kat is awesome. I was super nervous about using Rover for the first time, especially last minute. However, Kat came through and saved the day. She is polite, punctual, and so sweet; I rebooked immediately! Plus, my cats never eat this well when I’m gone. 10/10 would recommend Kat to a friend. :)”
“Rachel was great! Appreciate knowing my doods are well taken care of when I’m not home. ?”
About: Ive been around animals since I was young. My puppy is turning 4 this year, his name is Alvah! Since having him i’ve developed skills in training puppies, grooming, walking, bathing, feeding, playing, and overall care that animals deserve. I’ve been around blind dogs and senior animals who need medications or extra support. The number one thing i’ve learned is listening to my intuition. An animals demeanor, look in their eyes, body language, and energy says more than words ever could. Sometimes it feels like I know that they are thinking! I believe there is something special about connecting with another creature outside of your own species. That being said I adore all animals of any gender, size, age, condition, and personality:) I currently work two jobs, both part time. My days off are Mondays and Tuesdays. Wednesday and Thursday I tend to work night shifts but that is not consistent as my schedule changes based on what my job needs. Friday-Sunday I work during the day and usually have the evenings to myself after 4pm. On the bright side both of my jobs are flexible and understanding. If there are any concerns about time or availability please feel free to communicate that with me and we can work it out! I live in a basement apartment, there is a fenced yard. The neighborhood is great for walks, and there are fun trails in the area. The family I rent from does have a small high energy dog, but it is rare that we are in the backyard at the same time. As for my puppy he goes back and forth between my family and I. So if your pet likes company or is better alone, either works! I try to walk him 2-3 times a day and he goes out to do his business every 1-2 hours. If there are certain instructions you have for your pet or home rest assured I will follow them! I am a clean and organized person in my home and in others. I believe communication and honesty is so important, for both parties to feel safe and happy.
“I can't say enough good things about Stephanie's pet sitting! She has a lot of experience with animals, which put my mind at ease, as this is my first cat I've ever owned. She made me so glad I decided to get a pet sitter instead of relying on friends while I was out of town for the holidays. She was really reliable, punctual, and basically treated my cat like it was her own. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”
About: I’ve lived with and loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I have experience both pet sitting and walking over many years for friends and family. I’ve also volunteered at the humane society. I currently have 2 golden retrievers - one is a chill snuggle bug and the other is a wild puppy - so I am more than comfortable working with puppies! I have experience administering medications to dogs as well as walking injured dogs with slings. I have gone through puppy kindergarten and therapy dog training with one of my dogs and feel confident working with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I am currently applying to grad school and working part time. I have very open availability for multiple drop ins or walks and look forward to spending my spare time with your fur baby! I am very comfortable following your normal dog routine. I do have experience crating dogs. I am happy to meet before hand to get to know each other and ensure I am a good fit!

“I can’t recommend Stevie enough to watch my dog, Lady Bird—she’s the most responsible and caring dog owner I know! Stevie treats every dog like her own, and her attention to detail is unmatched. She ensures Lady Bird is happy, well-exercised, and safe, always going above and beyond to make sure her needs are met. Knowing how much Stevie adores dogs and prioritizes their well-being, I feel completely at ease leaving Lady Bird in her care. She’s truly the best!”
Emily D.
“Emily is the exact person you want to watch your beloved pet! She has cared for animals her whole life, having had both cats and dogs from an early age. She understands that they are important family members, and because of this she is incredibly reliable, communicative, and responsible when providing care for your pet. Rest assured, your pet will be well loved and cared for while you are away!”
