Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggone Great Times Ahead!
Before I had a pup of my own, I was the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from a 5lb teacup Yorkie to a 130lb Bernese Mountain Dog—with varying activity levels, attention needs, and health requirements. When I’m not Rovering, I foster dogs through Rescue Village, Cleveland APL, and FIDO’s Companion. Supporting rescue organizations has helped me develop a deep understanding of canine behavior and care. What sets my care apart: 🐶 I board no more than one client at a time to create a calm, home-like environment 🛏️ Crating is never required unless it’s part of your dog’s routine or preference 🚶♀️ I’m very active—your dog will enjoy 2–4 walks a day around the neighborhood 🧑💻 I work from home, so your pup gets plenty of attention throughout the day Whether your dog loves to lounge or craves long hikes and backyard fetch, I tailor each stay to their personality and needs. My own sweet and gentle rescue, Gilligan, is always excited to make new friends and is great with guests. Looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

Ratings and reviews
Stef is a great sitter who makes my dog feel right at home. She always has good availability for pick up and drop off, and is great at communicating throughout the stay. Highly recommend!
Once again, Eddie had a great day with Stef! She takes such great care of our beloved little guy. So happy we found Stef!
Stef, as always, made Eddie's playdate fabulous. She makes him feel so welcome in her home, and takes time to give him plenty of attention. Among the very best dog sitters you'll ever find on Rover...not just in the immediate area, but anywhere! So grateful we found her.
Stef was awesome! We could not have asked for a better sitter. Our dog is hesitant around some adults but she took to Stef right away. They went on walks and played. We received daily pics of their “festivities”. Our dog requires daily eye drops that she has to have twice a day. Stef was very attentive to our dogs needs.
This was a bit of a last-minute booking and luckily Stef was available. Cannot say enough about the quality of Stef's care, the amount of time she puts in playing with Eddie, her warm and cozy dog-friendly home, and the great pics she sends throughout the boarding. Eddie absolutely loves his overnighters with Stef!
Stef has always been so wonderful with August! She takes such great care of him. We are so grateful that she has been so flexible and accommodating!

Schedule
As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to provide lots of attention to your pup. My daily routine is structured around ensuring your pet's well-being and happiness. Regular walks, playtime, and social interaction are a natural part of our daily schedule. Your pet's safety, health, and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm excited to welcome them into my dog-friendly home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fully fenced, so dogs can run and play freely. I maintain open and honest communication with pet parents, providing regular updates and lots of photos. I also follow the pet's routines and dietary requirements closely, so they feel at home while away from home.

A typical day
We'll get out several times a day to check out all the smells in my neighborhood and explore a park near my house. I work from home, so we can get out as much or as little as needed. We play fetch both inside and outside and I have a variety of dog toys to keep your pup entertained.
