Bully Breed & Rescue Advocate 🐾🐾

Pet care experience

I am a full-time graduate student looking to care for your furry friends (and to bring my passion of animals to new life!) at your home. While I am newer to Rover and professional pet sitting, I am not new to loving on and caring for animals! Fun fact: I’ve successfully reunited 10 lost pooches with their owners, minus one who became our new family member. I’ve owned large dogs my entire life and have dealt with every issue under the sun - aggression, medical emergencies, daily medication, skunk encounters. You name it, I’ve seen it! I’m reliable and treat all animals like I would my own - with lots of love, compassion and unwavering care. I have a special spot in my heart for senior dogs. I’ve had my senior rescue GSD for seven years now and have enjoyed every moment with him. There’s no greater honor than to live in his world (It’s all his; I’m really just living in it ;) ) and to keep up with his changing needs as he ages. I’m experienced in noticing changes in personality, mobility and overall happiness, and with adjusting to make seniors comfortable - with softer toys, medication, special treatment when playing and going for slower walks.

We've used Stef multiple times now and she is excellent and reliable as usual! Love knowing my fur babies are in good hands when we're away.
