“Makenzie took care of my dog Diego for the past 10 days, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about Diego like he was her own. She even brought him a new ball and bone, such a sweet touch! 🥹 I know he’ll miss her, and I’ll definitely be requesting her again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: Growing up surrounded by animals, I developed a deep love and compassion for them from an early age. Caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life, and I’ve made it a priority to protect and nurture animals whenever I can. This passion led me to incorporate animal care into my professional life by joining Rover. Whether it’s providing a safe, loving environment or making sure each pet feels comfortable and happy, I’m dedicated to giving every animal the care and attention they deserve. I incorporate pet care into my daily routine by setting aside dedicated times for feeding, exercise, potty breaks, and play. I follow a structured schedule to keep pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the day. In my home or a client’s home, I tailor my care to each pet’s needs while keeping safety my top priority. Dogs rest in a crate between activities for their comfort and security, and cats have a spacious crate setup with food, water, and a litter box. I provide fresh water at all times and give individual attention, including medication administration if needed. Playtime is always supervised and can be solo or with another friendly dog, based on the owner’s preference.

Stephanie has been absolutely WONDERFUL and soooooooooo accommodating to my crazy schedule. my pups are not the easiest dogs AT ALL:( theyre very reactive and extremely anxious and scared.She has taken time to let them warm up to her and is willing to continue visits to allow my dogs to warm up to her! Her husband david has also been soooooo helpful in helping me with my reactive/scared/angry pups. KJ (my male pup ) has been a total aggressive anxious pup and hasn’t been kind to stephanie or David :( he bit David😢 even after dealing with kj and being bit david offered to try again. You guys are AMAZING and i want everyone to know if you need a sitter or dog walker stephanie and David are absolutely AMAZING caring peoples!!!!!!! thank you guys!!!!
I recently rebooked with Lynn — she’s fantastic. Extremely communicative and sends great photos/videos. Overall, I feel a weight off my shoulders knowing she will be checking on my cat Pickles while I am out of town. Thank you so much for going above and beyond.
