Safety, trust & environment
I have worked with certified fear free trainers as well as being a groomer for 3 years now I am very aware of animal body language and how to meet their needs so they feel safe in their environment. I do have a dachshund mix named Scooby that is incredibly friendly with Small to XL dogs. She’s always up for having a play date!

Information Stephanie F. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know before hand if there are any special requirements with an animal that need to be met while i take care of them. I will be willing to take care of any type of dog.
A typical day
I love keeping dogs both physically and mentally stimulated. I have enrichment tools like treat-dispensing toys and lick mats that I can customize with your pet’s favorite snacks—perfect for keeping their brain engaged in a fun, calming way. I also love active play like tug-of-war, fetch, frisbee, or even going for a run if your pup is up for it! If there are specific games or routines you use to keep your dog sharp and happy, I’d love to hear about them and include them in our time together. Every pet is different, and I’m always excited to learn what works best for yours!

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Steph — a full-time pet caregiver through Rover and the heart behind a growing pet photography business. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13 and have experience with all kinds of animals, from high-energy pups to quiet companions. I share my life with my dog Scooby, who’s a big lovebug and gets along great with both people and other animals, and two leopard geckos, Helios and Haku, who each have their own little quirks and charm. Over the years, I’ve worked closely with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also have hands-on experience with pet nutrition and wellness—I've worked with a variety of healthy foods, natural supplements, and holistic care routines. I’m great at picking up on subtle signs when something’s off and take pet health seriously. Whether we’re playing fetch, going for a walk, or just snuggling on the couch, I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for. I tailor my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs, and I always follow your instructions to a T—because your peace of mind matters just as much as your pet’s happiness. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels loved, understood, and completely at ease while you’re away.
Reviews
Great first experience with Stephanie. She was very professional and my dogs loved being with her!
Shephanie was fantastic! She was very communicative and took excellent care of our cat. She also displayed so much kindness and flexibility when our dog unexpectedly passed away just before her scheduled booking 🫶
Stephanie was great! We felt very comfortable leaving her with our pets. She sent great pictures and kept in communication while we were gone.
Stephanie is amazing!!! She was super proactive with meeting our dog in advance and making sure he was comfortable with her. She is super knowledgeable, kind, and was the perfect person to watch our boy for the weekend. We will absolutely be booking with her again! :)
