Information stefanie o. would like to know about your pet

- I will only walk dogs that are comfortable with walking on a leash - I want to know if they are reactive or friendly with other dogs - Is there anything that might scare them on walks (loud sounds, skateboards etc).

A typical day

Will take your dog on a nice long walk. Sniff breaks are always included! I always have a bag of treats in my pocket for little rewards (I will always ask you if this is ok!) If you have a yard I will give them some extra playtime once the walk is over.

Stefanie was amazing - kind, patient and understanding with our anxious pup's first boarding experience ever, and a great communicator. She and her human and four legged family members welcomed our pup with open arms and helped put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and we'd definitely book with her again!!

I was so nervous about leaving my cat but Stefanie was great! She made sure to get photos everyday and provided details each visit so I could relax while on vacation. I would definitely recommend Stefanie!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
