Dog lover, patient, home full-time!

Pet care experience

Hi Everyone! Thanks for stopping by my profile. A little about me and my background. I have grown up with family dogs (and pets) around and have years of experience caring for dogs. I work from home full time and have a very flexible schedule. I often help my friends with their dogs during the day or when they go out of town. One of them suggested Rover! It is a great way for me to get outside and help those who cannot be home with their furry friends! I am comfortable with any size dog and have many years of experience walking, playing fetch, reinforcing good behavior per your request, and providing doggy cuddles (of course)! I cannot have dogs at my apartment so am happy to provide extra care for those folks who are out of the home for longer periods of time and get my puppy fix at the same time! Message me to set up a meet and greet and rest easy knowing your dog will be taken care of while you are out. *Tail wags, body wiggles, and puppy smiles happily accepted*

Thankful and happy to have found a great dog walker and sitter in Steph! I travel often for work and don’t know what I would do with my pup Maple if not for her help. I get regular updates and photos of walk and play time and Maple loves the extra attention, exercise, and belly rubs. Steph loves and cares for Maple as if she were her own dog, and that’s why we keep coming back :)

I have seen Stephanie interact with dogs for over 10 years. She offers a great combination of a true love for all dogs and kind, patient discipline. I have no doubt she will take excellent care of any dog she is asked to help out with, including taking long walks with to get out extra energy! I'd highly recommend Steph to any dog owner.

Steph was a great dog sitter. I had to request her services last minute (under 24 hours) and she scheduled a meet and greet that day, asked really great questions, and was able to help me out. My dog had developed some digestive symptoms just before I left and she was very intentional about managing this. During my trip she sent awesome updates and pictures. Great experience!

Steph is great! She did mid-day check-ins for our two dogs, communicated when she got there, sent pictures and an update and let me know when she left. She used Rover's card feature to show pictures and let me know exactly what was going on with the pups. Will definitely nook with Steph again! Thank you!

Information Steph K. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dogs age, energy level, and basic commands that they follow. Any tips on how your dog walks best too. For example any sounds that make them jumpy, are squirrels and birds a distraction, are you working on walking nicely and not pulling on their leash? No breed preferences as long as we discuss temperament beforehand so there are no surprise. That way I can be prepared and make sure we have a good walk!

A typical day

I am open to walks around the neighborhood and lakes! Or if preferred I am happy to take your dog to a nearby dog park to run and play. Playing fetch is definitely an option as well if your dog likes to run! Tummy rubs and doggy hugs always available!
