Pet care experience

We will have so much fun!

I grew up with dogs my whole life and now care for and love my own dog, Lola. She is a 40lb female goldendoodle and is extremely friendly. Lola definitely loves to provide attention as well. If your pup has the energy to play so will Lola, and if your pup rather spend their time away relaxing, Lola will respect that too and give them space. I work from home everyday from our home in Palma ceia. Close to bayshore and tons of opportunities for long walks to tire your pup out. I have a fenced in yard and can provide multiple outings a day. I live with my fiancé, Joey, who is also a big dog lover and helps me with the pups after he comes home from work and on the weekends. We love to take Lola along with us on adventures as much as possible, whether that’s a Starbucks run, lunch at bartaco or to friends houses. So we also love to take whatever pups we’re watching at the time as well :) of course depending on how your pup feels about car rides and your comfort! I will work around what accommodates your pup best always :) I’ll allow all pups on the couch and only non-shedding pups on the bed to sleep with us. (Unless you prefer they sleep in their crate) Your dogs are essentially on vacation with us and we love to make them feel like it!

Best dogsitter ever. I’ve been using Rover for at least 10 years and she is by far the best. Very kind and keeps me updated with photos and texts.

Stephnia took such amazing care of Ozzy and Zoey while we were away for over a week! From the start, she made them feel right at home, and it truly showed. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind and made it easier to be away from them without feeling guilty. When we picked them up, they were happy, clean, and clearly well loved. It was such a great experience all around, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Stephania again. Highly recommend!

I had the most incredible experience with Stephanie. She took exceptional care of my old boy, Rupert, and looked after him beautifully. I received constant updates throughout his stay, which gave me complete peace of mind and made me feel safe and content leaving him for a couple of days. I highly, highly recommend Stephanie — truly a top dog sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rupert can’t wait to see her again!

Stephania and her fiancé are absolutely incredible human beings. They did an absolutely amazing job taking care of Trixie. They just went above and beyond. She is so sweet and accommodating. Her fiancé helped us with our broken truck and just went so far above and beyond. Thank you both so much!!!! When we are in town again Trixie would love to visit again. Thank you so much!!! 🩷

Pets

A typical day

My dog, Lola, is 4 years old but acts very much like a puppy so she would love to play with your pup. I love taking dogs on long walks, depending on the weather of course! Daily walks around our neighborhood or bayshore are the normal here. I play fetch with your dog in our yard and even take them for a run if they're up to it!

Let me know any important information about your pup so I can best accommodate myself, lola and my home to the best of my ability. Please let me know if they are on monthly Flea and Tick prevention as well as up-to-date on shots. Your pup would have to be friendly since I do have a pup of my own, so please be honest about their personality/any aggressive behaviors. Also, please be honest on how well potty trained your pup is. I understand puppies have accidents and I’ll take them on more walks to prevent this the best I can. But please let me know in advanced what to expect to best prepare as well to request certain things to make it easier and less messy (a crate/peepee pads/etc.)
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.
