Safety, trust & environment

At present, I’m only offering care in clients’ homes. This helps pets get used to me in their own environment and limits stress and anxiety for them. I want them to be happy and at ease!

Information Steph M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your pet’s personality. Do they get anxious? Do they need special attention such as companionship at mealtimes? Are they okay with other animals both on and off leash? What do they enjoy? How are they usually motivated? I love details!

A typical day

Typically I like to do activities that cater to the needs of the pet. Is the dog high energy? Then I’ll choose stimulating activities such as fetching with a ball thrower or hiding treats for them to sniff out! Need something more low key? Then I might do some hair brushing or tummy rubs. Totally depends what the pet likes/dislikes.

Pet care experience

I have experience with lots of breeds from previous pets that I’ve owned and previous dog sits I’ve done over the years - Labs, Retrievers, Samoyeds, Chows, Australian Shepherds, Spaniels. I also have experience across the lifespan, even puppies! If your furry friend is receiving training, I’m happy to help reinforce desired behaviors, but I’m not a licensed trainer so my focus is on care and companionship.

Stephanie watched my dogs for a week while I was out of town. She stayed at my place with them so that they kept to their normal routines. She was great, gave regular updates, and left the house in perfect order. The dogs really liked her! I would definitely use her services again.

Stephanie stayed for a week while I traveled. She was prompt, responsive, sent me photos, cleaned up and most important--my golden doodle was well cared for.

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.
