Information Stephanie K. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know ahead of time if your pet has any health issues or dietary needs or restrictions. During our initial meet, we can talk more about details if this applies!

A typical day

I love going on walks, playing fetch or just lounging in the house! I love getting out into nature and being outside in general, which makes Rover perfect for me!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Steph, I grew up with cats, dogs, birds, and more, so I’m very in tune with all the animals I encounter. I love to snuggle, but I also get along well with less affectionate pets if need be. In the past I’ve dog sat for friends and family. I also have experience with dogs or cats that have special dietary needs or health issues. I’m very familiar with doggy strollers, harnesses, and all the leashes you could imagine. I personally love walks all by myself but, they are just so much better with a friend! I can’t wait to meet your furry pal!

Thank you for coming to check on Walle on a short notice! It helps to give him some time while we are gone for a few days to have some human exposure. He's SO used to me being home ALL THE TIME, since I work from home. I didn't want him to get too depressed while his dog brother gets to hang with us in St.Louis. Thank you again for stopping by to check on my handsome barn cat prince!

Stephanie was great! She followed all the instructions, took awesome care of my pups, and kept everything just how I left it. It was such a relief knowing my dogs were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!

Stephanie was wonderful! Our dogs loved her ❤️ She was sensitive to their separate personalities and quirks, which was reassuring to us. She kept us updated every day with fun photos, which made it so much easier to enjoy our weekend getaway. We would highly recommend Stephanie, and plan to request her help again when we travel next 🐶
