Friend to All, Big and Small.

Pet care experience

Patience and understanding are key to every living creature. I'm here to help out when you're away and give your pals the personalized care they need. I've watched all shapes and sizes- newborns to elderly, ill to healthy, and can administer medication of any kind (liquid, intravenous, and oral). I've worked at an animal clinic, volunteered at several animal shelters, and have several years of professional animal care under my belt. I have an intuitive/empathetic nature, and am comfortable with any species- snake, pig, horse, bunny, you name it. I have a knack at making even the most nervous or aggressive calm within first meet. I hope to get the chance to hang out with your lil pal(s) soon :) I have an open and flexible schedule, as animal care has been my sole profession, on and off, for years now. My two cats also never leave my side, so caregiving is basically my life- it brings me joy and purpose to help out with animals who can't grocery shop for themselves. I prefer to have you fill me in on your pal's personal routine(s) before the stay, either in person or over the phone- this way I can match their norm and keep them as comfortable as possible in your absence.

Steph was great with our two pups and we appreciated the reports on how they were doing. We hope she can take care of them during our next trip!

Steph was amazing to say the least! She was very prompt, responsive and affectionate towards our pup, Bean! Steph understood that she had to stay the entire time when house-sitting (I find this uncommon with other house-sitters), and was certain respectful of our home! If you’re on the fence about booking Steph, I highly recommend you reconsider and book her ASAP! Thank you Steph, and look forward to having you watch Bean again in the future!

I’m so glad I found Steph on Rover! My dog, Riley, means the world to me and I can be a bit critical of who I trust with her care. Fortunately, as soon as I met Steph and saw that Riley was so comfortable around her, my mind was at ease. Steph is reliable and communicated with me promptly. She provided pics and updates on how Riley was doing during her visit. I would highly recommend Steph and plan to become a repeat client.

Information Steph R. would like to know about your pet

Going to need to know the location of essentials, such as food or leashes, medication, etc. General rundown of what services your pal would need, as well as the pup's disposition (for example, if they are dog aggressive, I would need to know this prior to taking them outside for walks). I generally suggest meet-n-greets or a phone call before bookings, this way any specifics can be discussed beforehand.

A typical day

This truly depends of what you are comfortable with me doing- I am willing to take your pup on a trip to the nearby dog park, for example. But either way, each visit I give your pal my full attention, showering them with love, playtime, yard time/walk time, etc. They will be drowned in love and respect.
