Always a pawty at my house!
Pet care experience
I started dog sitting on Rover end of 2022 but have always taken care of other pups from family members or friends. I also rescue pups on the streets and check for chip, post on social media, or check them in the shelter to help find their owners. Raising a golden retriever puppy has taught me to be cautious of things around the house and lots of patience. I look for any odd behavior and always let the owners know if anything is wrong. I’ve never had an experience where pups don’t get along with each other but that is why I require meet and greets . I always try responding within minutes if needed.
Reviews
Steph was great with the dogs and super flexible with our schedule! Very grateful for her help!
We were very happy with Steph and it seemed our dog was happy too. She followed our feeding instructions and made sure he had 2 walks a day and got to play fetch in her backyard. I really liked the way Steph stated in touch with us through photos of our dog and comments on how he was doing. We highly recommend Step for a dog sitter . Thank you Steph
Steph was very attentive and took great care of our pup. 10/10 would recommend!
Hazy loves to go to Stephanie’s. It is like doggie Disneyland for her with her awesome backyard and sweet dogs. Stephanie takes such good care of our little girl.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dogs safety is my top priority. I am always careful when taking them on walks. I have cameras set up in every room and angle. Baby gates are set up inside the house and one tall gate before leaving to the front door. Outside there is a metal door and another gate leading to it so no dogs can escape even on windy days. I always make sure there are multiple bowls of fresh water. I will treat your pups like they are mine!
Home
Information Steph R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has a current medical condition and what medications they are currently taking. Is your dog reactive to strangers/dogs on walks? Do they have separation anxiety? What are they allergic to? Any special needs?
A typical day
Your dog and I will be going on daily walks by a park near my home. There are lots of toy options for your pups to play and chew with (i do keep an eye if chewing). My dog will keep your dog entertained if they want to play or naps all day! I also have a niece who loves to play with dogs but is very cautious with big dogs or ones that aren’t kid friendly. Lots of love, cuddles, and car rides to Starbucks.

Availability
I’m currently only available for weekends, but I can make exceptions if needed during the week for a longer stay. I do my best to be at home all day when I am dog sitting and won’t make plans because your dogs are my priority! Occasionally I do like to take the dogs on a drive to get Starbucks and a lot of the times they feel more comfortable and happy after taking a drive! I do require meet and greets beforehand for boarding if you are a new client. Just want to make sure your dog feels comfortable beforehand and our dogs get along🙂
