Pet care experience
I am a recent graduate from Capital University where I studied environmental science. I have 4 years of experience on the Rover app and many more with other pet care. Currently, I am offering dog walking, drop-in, and house sitting services. I am most comfortable with small to large sized dogs, but if you have a extra large dog that is calm we will have just as fun and safe of a time. I would love to get to know you and your dog and help you feel reassured that they are in good hands with me!
Reviews
Stefanie was very professional and willing to meet with me and my dogs prior to our trip. She was my first Rover I have ever hired to work with my dogs. She made myself and my husband feel very comfortable that they were taken care of throughout our entire vacation! Stefanie sent pictures and kept us updated throughout. I would highly recommend working with her and will be hiring her again!!
While we were on vacation, our plans for our elderly dog suddenly changed and we needed to find someone last-minute to care for her. Stefanie stepped in and saved our trip! We were able to relax and enjoy our trip because we knew our girl was at home and being taken care of.
Unfortunately as a house/dog sitter, not a good match for us. Stefanie had said she could do our 2 most important things: make our house "home base" and feed him on his schedule (AM, 5-6P, and 10-11P). While I do believe she slept here, she frequently just came back for his first dinner, left, and didn't return until between 1:30 and 3:30 in the morning, missing our dog's second dinner time (including any potty breaks between early evening and middle of the night.) Our neighbor texted at midnight, saying the sitter again wasn't at the house and was our dog OK and Stefanie didn't respond to a text until the morning, not showing up to our house for over an hour after my text. In our meet & greet we were open to honesty and feedback about her abilities/intentions and would have gone with another sitter, but she did let us know that the feeding schedule, and hanging out at our house/making it "home base" was not a problem. We were really disappointed...either in her honesty or follow-through. I believe she was nice to him, clearly played ball and did sleep here - but didn't meet our two expectations, unfortunately.
Stefanie did a great job while we were away! She sent cute pics and kept us updated. We would have her sit for us again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always like to make sure I have vet information beforehand should anything go wrong. I’ll ask about any medical issues or allergies the pet has, and if they’re friendly with other dogs, cats, children.
Information Stefanie M. would like to know about your pet
I love to ensure a pet is having fun while putting saftey first. I often ask clients for written instructions detailing typical schedule and behaviors to ensure the most comfortable/stress free experience for your pet.
A typical day
I adapt to whatever your dog likes to do! Got a high energy puppy, fetch and tug of war it is. A couch potato, tv and belly rubs. Zoomies runner, long walks it is.
Services
Stefanie can watch in your home
Availability
For house sitting, I currently work remote so as long as there is wifi I will be able to be in the house with the pets! I’m a homebody and aren’t often away. Since I make my schedule, I can provide drop-ins and walks often with short notice.
