Pet care experience

🐈Cat Specialist & Senior Pet Care

I've been caring for cats for as long as I can remember and have spent the past few years as a professional pet sitter. My specialty is caring for cats and senior pets—especially those who thrive on routine, gentle handling, and steady companionship. I'm experienced in administering oral and injectable medications and comfortable supporting pets with medical or emotional needs. My beloved one-eyed senior cat, Stormy, lived to 17 and taught me the value of patience, observation, and compassionate care. Now I share my home with Sasha, a shy rescue who reminds me every day how trust, patience, and kindness help build strong bonds with animals. While cats are my specialty, I also have experience caring for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I have the most hands-on walking experience with dogs 40 pounds and under and always provide calm, attentive care tailored to each pet's individual needs.

House Sitting • Oct 19, 2025

This was our second time booking Steph. She didn’t tell us that our dog had multiple accidents in the house. She also did a terrible job cleaning up the multiple stains. She also left one of the doors unlocked (which she also did the first time she petsat for us). Despite me telling her that our flight would land around 7 pm, she made dinner plans and had to leave the house early (even though her booking was from 6-8:30 pm). There were several other house things that were neglected when we came home that we had to fix after a long day of traveling. While the pets are fine, we are very disappointed in the lack of miscommunication and care of the house.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I specialize in drop-in visits and am available for morning visits between 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM and afternoon/evening visits between 3:30 PM and 10:00 PM. These time windows are ideal for pets who need breakfast, potty breaks, medications, dinner, playtime, or companionship while you're at work or away from home. I schedule visits carefully so each pet receives dependable, unhurried care while maintaining their normal routine.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Steph can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Meet & Greet Requirement All new clients are required to schedule a meet and greet before the first booking. This gives us a chance to make sure we're a great fit and allows me to learn about your pet's personality, routine, medications, and any special care needs. Peace of Mind For added peace of mind, I carry my own pet sitter liability insurance in addition to the Rover Guarantee. Weekday Availability Weekday drop-in visits are available from 6:00 AM–8:00 AM and 3:30 PM–10:00 PM. Weekend availability offers additional flexibility. I specialize in dependable drop-in visits that keep your pet's routine consistent while you're at work or away from home. For puppies, dogs that are still potty training, or dogs without doggie door access, I generally recommend at least three drop-in visits per day to provide frequent potty breaks and help keep them comfortable. We'll discuss the best schedule for your pet during the meet and greet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
