Reserve your dates today! 😊 Hablo español I am home full time and would love to help take care of your dog when you need it! I do not have any dogs of my own and I only take in one dog at a time. My schedule is pretty open. I am flexible and am willing to help meet your needs whenever is most convenient for you. I am able to take dogs out multiple times a day and I go on walks daily around the neighborhood with my family. I live at home with my husband and 2 small daughters. We have a big backyard that is not fenced but has a big tree that gives us lots of shade where we like to hang out and play. We only accept small or medium-sized dogs. Unfortunately my husband and I are both allergic to cats and cannot take care of them.

I needed a last minute sitter for my dog due to having to attend an out-of-town wedding, and Stephanie graciously agreed to help with only one day’s notice. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Stephanie went above and beyond while caring for my dog overnight. She sent me pictures throughout the day, took him on walks, and treated him as if he were her own. It was clear he was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for the entire time. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially on such short notice. I can’t imagine hiring anyone else to care for my Gizmo the next time I’m in need. I’m incredibly grateful for Stephanie’s kindness, reliability, and genuine love for animals, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Stephanie took good care of my pup, was a good communicator. Would use again when in the area. Great location if you’re heading north for a Florida State Fairground event!

Stephanie took wonderful care of our maltese, Chloe! She was very sweet and friendly, and made us feel totally at ease while we were away for a week. She sent regular updates and pictures, which I really appreciated — it was so comforting to see how well Chloe was doing. It was clear how she genuinely cared and gave Chloe lots of attention. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind pet sitter!

I’m home all day and can take your dog outside frequently. I will follow whatever directions you give for feeding. Please bring whatever the dog is used to sleeping on during their stay. I’m happy to do a meet and greet beforehand if this is your first time.

We have a big backyard, but it is not fenced so I will always keep your dog on a leash. I only take one dog at a time, so yours will have our full attention!

A typical day

I go on walks around the neighborhood every day. I also spend a lot of time in my large backyard with my family. We have a big oak tree that gives us tons of shade. Both of my daughters love dogs and enjoy playing inside and outside with them.

I would just like to know a little bit about the dog's personality, feeding schedule, how often he/she is used to walking outside, etc. No breed preferences. I usually check to see if the dog is comfortable around children. I also request a current photo if there is not one on your profile to see that the dog is small or medium size. Unfortunately I am allergic to cats and cannot provide services for them.
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.
