Safety, trust & environment

My place is a free to roam home. Pups are allowed to go into any space they feel the most comfortable and at home. It’s crucial I go through each pups profile to make a wise and educated decision to board your pups with other dogs I know would get along. I take special requests from clients who’d rather their dogs be boarded alone for a small fee.

Information Stephanie G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you have any special requests ahead of time. This makes the stay both organized and prepared for what’s to come. My husband and I are both experienced in caring for dogs with special needs, separation anxiety, distributing oral meds and even administered insulin shots for one of our pups.

A typical day

Upon arrival, your dog will receive the best petting session from my family. We like them to feel comfortable immediately so we’ll play with their favorite toys or our giant basket we have here at home. We love to explore our dog-friendly neighborhood with daily walks and even on occasion, walk around our beautiful Humboldt park. Having kids means we have to match their energy and the dogs love that. With your permission, we like to attend our local Dog parks where they can socialize with one another. After a long day, your pup will feel well-rested and we’ll take funny pics of them sleeping on the couch and/or laying belly-up tired.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Stephanie. I’ve been a professional dog lover since I was 5 yrs old. Rover is my way to get back at my mom for never buying me the puppy I wanted. Now that I’m all grown up, you all give me the loving opportunity to care for and love on your babies. My husband and I decided to do Rover when we lost our family pup of 15 years. It was a difficult loss for both us and my two small children at the time. Sharing our space daily with all kinds of breeds in our home really puts daily smiles and loving energy into our home. I’m currently a stay at home mother to our 8 yr and 10 yr old children. My husband works from home, which means your pup/s will never be left alone. My Husband Adrian helps so much and is one of the top reasons our reviews are so positive. Being blessed to stay home means making sure your babies have the companionship they might miss from you and sharing quality time together. I’m always open for meet and greets and getting to know your furry baby ahead of time so we both can have a smooth transition. While we’ve cared for big pups in the past, because of our experiences with the kids, we like to refrain taking in any new Pit bulls, German shepherds and Rottweiler clients. Thank you all in advance for making my transition away from my dog a bit easier each time a stay is booked. My pup Gansito is greatly missed. ♥️

Stephanie and her family did an amazing job watching Walter - he had the best time and was so well taken care of. He has separation anxiety and they were so accommodating. We definitely will use her again!

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.
