Safety, trust & environment

As a dog parent, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. I prefer meet-and-greets to build a connection, but I’m open to urgent needs—I’ve successfully trusted last-minute and out-of-town clients (check my reviews!). During drop-ins or walks, I prioritize building trust with your dog through a slow introduction, then take them on a walk and complete my Rover check-in. I also ensure they always have access to fresh water.

Information Stephanie B. would like to know about your pet

I find it helpful to gather information ahead of time. This includes their regular schedule and their levels of affection, friendliness, and activity. I also need to know their likes and dislikes, any allergies they may have, and their favorite toy and treat preferences.

A typical day

During my drop-ins or walks, I ensure they are 'empty' before coming home. Depending on your dog's personality and the weather conditions, I may also jog with them for some extra exercise. I can play tug or cuddle.

Pet care experience

If this is your first time using Rover, use my code STEPHB63508 for $20 off. I provide dependable, detail-oriented care for clients who want their pets handled safely and professionally. Safety is my top priority on every visit. I use secure leash handling, stay highly aware of our surroundings, and take a calm, controlled approach to walks. I also have experience with reactive dogs (including my own), so I’m confident managing different temperaments without creating stress. I’m consistent and communicative, you’ll receive regular updates and quality photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable with multiple dogs and follow routines closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and specific care instructions. I respect your home, your time, and your pet’s normal routine.

Thank you so much Stephanie. Knowing Atticus was in such good hands gave me total peace of mind. He absolutely loved his walks with you. Highly recommended!

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.
