We have a half-acre fenced yard!

Pet care experience

My husband and I come from a long line of animal lovers. I've been a dog sitter for everything from Yorkies to Great Danes to Rottweilers. I love all dogs, but would definitely prefer dogs with some training. I have also cared for high-maintenance pups (medication, special food, etc.), and I'm happy to do everything I can to keep them happy and healthy. We understand going to great lengths to spoil your loved one(s)! My husband and I live in a house with a half-acre fenced backyard, but one end of the yard has a short fence. If you have a jumper, we might not be the place for you! But if your dog loves to run, we have the perfect spot for them! We have a little mixed breed puppy who is very gentle and sweet. He's energetic and loves to run and wrestle, so we'd prefer non-aggressive dogs who won't get mad at his incessant need to sniff them! Charlie would love to make new friends, so please give us a try!

This was my first experience with Rover.com and I couldn’t be happier. My dog was well cared for by a dog lover! Stefanie and her husband were great communicators and I felt at ease leaving Luci with them.

You will not find anyone better than Stefanie! Our dogs are like our children - cherished members of the family - so we don't leave them with just anyone. Stefanie took top-notch care of them, from loving snuggles and fun playtime to making sure they were fed and pottied as per their regular schedule. She is trustworthy, dependable, and a ton of fun. Your dogs will LOVE her, and you will have peace of mind knowing they are in the best of hands.

Stefanie has been our dogsitter many times while we have been out of town. She is very trustworthy and reliable making us feel very safe to have her in our home. She also absolutely LOVES dogs, and they love her in return. She takes them for long walks/runs so they are sorry to see us come home!

Information Stefanie D. would like to know about your pet

We would like to make sure not to disrupt any patterns or levels of discipline, so if there are special commands (I once had to command a dog in German!) or medicines or times for walking, we want to be able to accommodate all of those requests. We're both tall so we can handle walking large breeds. We'd prefer non-aggressive breeds as the neighbor dogs bark a lot and we don't want to contribute to the noise and madness. We have a pretty stress free house, and we'd like Charlie to simply have some fun with another happy, friendly dog. Difficult, badly behaved, jumpy dogs are not for us.

A typical day

We are truly dog lovers. We love to walk and snuggle and plays... we would be able to give them lots of attention in the evenings, and let them out every 3 hours or so during the day. We don't mind dogs sleeping on the bed if that's what they're used to, but our is in a crate so we're good with whatever is allowed and the norm for your pup. We have a huge yard where your babies can run around with our sweet Charlie, and we also go on lots of walks in our very quiet neighborhood. If they like car rides, we're happy to take them with us to the hardware store, too!
