Availability

I work remotely full time, which means I can be present with your pets throughout the day during house sitting. For walks and drop in visits, I do my best to match your pet’s routine around my meeting schedule. Most pups adjust easily, and if your dog has a very strict schedule I will be upfront so we can find the best fit together.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I give my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep things tidy, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in their familiar space. If you have extra caretaking needs such as plants, mail, or lights, just let me know. I am happy to help keep your home running smoothly while you are away.

Information Stephanie D. would like to know about your pet

Every pet is unique, and I want to make sure your furry friend feels safe and comfortable. Please share anything that might make your pet nervous, such as certain sounds, movements, or situations, as well as any routines, medications, or favorite comfort items. The more I know about your pet’s personality and needs, the better I can make their time with me feel like home.

A typical day

We will start with a walk in your neighborhood or at a favorite park you recommend so your pup stays in a familiar and comfortable space. Depending on their energy level we might play fetch, practice tricks, enjoy some snuggle time, or go for a jog. My goal is to match your dog’s personality. Whether they love adventure or prefer a cozy cuddle session, I will make sure their day feels happy and full.

Louisville’s Dog Auntie

Pet care experience

I’ve been on Rover since 2018 and have loved every year of caring for pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I was also blessed to be a dog mom to a 70 lb. rescued American Bulldog for 7 years. After caring for him through a 6-month battle with brain cancer, I understand the love, patience, and special attention pets deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs recovering from abuse, seniors, puppies, high-energy pups, couch potatoes, nervous nellies, and attention lovers. Whether your pet needs gentle medical care, extra playtime, or just a cozy snuggle, I’ve got them covered. I’m most reachable after 5pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. I’m happy to send daily pictures or videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. Special requests? Just let me know. I treat every fur baby like family.

Stephanie is amazing! She not only took exceptional care of our two high energy pups but is also extremely in tune with pet behavior. She gave me knowledgeable insights into how the dogs act and play together which will help immensely with their training. I can't recommend her enough- you won't be disappointed!

Stephanie is amazing! She left the house even better than when we left and the puppers were so happy! We will be excited to have her watch the dogs again!

Stephanie was wonderful with our 2 dogs. They were well cared for while we were away. Stephanie was responsible and communicated promptly. We were able to enjoy our time away knowing our dogs were in good hands.

Stephanie is wonderful! I loved getting the update on Juneau’s walk and we are super excited for her to pet sit for us as well. She’s so sweet, incredibly thorough and it’s clear how much she loves pups!
