“Stephanie did a great job watching my Morkie and schnauzer while we were out of town. She was very good at letting me know how they were doing when I text her, however, no photos were received. I would recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve been around animals growing up my whole life. One was a family dog that we had for 18 years and another was a puppy. I spent time while my mom wasn’t home taking care of and training the puppy. I would love to take your dogs to the dog park or to my grandmas to run around! I work part-time right now usually only 20 hours a week so I have a lot of free time to walk your animals! I also don’t work weekends so I’m available any time on the weekends! My grandmas house has a big fenced in yard with three other dogs there for your dog to run around or play with other dogs!

“This was my first time using the Rover service and Emily was absolutely fantastic! She was great sending text and pic updates in my girls 🐶🐶. I would highly recommend her and if I’m back in the area would definitely love to us her again 🫶🏻”

About: I've rescued/adopted multiple dogs and trained dogs with trust and behavior issues and mellow calm dogs. I have rescued pitbulls and chihuahuas and trained German shepherds, pitbulls, chihuahuas etc. No breed is too big or small. I also enjoy teaching dogs new tricks and taking them out on adventures like to dog parks (if that's allowed) and watching movies with them. I currently have 1 female dog who is extremely friendly towards other dogs and people. She has been around 1 cat and shown no interest, and when shes out on walks she doesn't pull towards other dogs, and will only approach if I lead her. She's playful, but also 5 years old so she enjoys watching dogs play from one of her many dog beds. I work from home, and I am getting back into dog training and dog boarding. I typically train my German shepherd daily, and I’ve always had a dog if my own (or multiple dogs). Dogs will get plenty of time outside and in the house along with enrichment toys and food puzzles, treats, and toys. My yard is fully fenced!
