I’ll treat your pet like my own!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am currently a Ph.D. student, but my prior Rover experience has been elsewhere since I moved. I have had my first dog for 18 years and my second for 8 years since they were puppies, so I have versatile experience with different ages and dog personalities. I also have taken care of my friends' dogs whenever they need help for years. Further, I have had experience with my own cats and watching others' cats for over a decade. My clients typically re-book me whenever they need help because they think I do a great job! I love dogs and love playing with them and walking them, it makes me so happy! If you hire me, you can expect a fun time for your dog and a positive experience, as well as consistent communication and pictures. I will always make sure that your pet is taken care of and has the best time possible! I hope to help your dog soon!

Stephanie was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! We loved the photos and detailed updates during her visits, and know the cats were well taken care of. We would definitely book with her again!

Stephanie was very communicative and sent pictures on a regular basis to reassure us that our pets were doing well. We would definitely have her come help us again!

Yet again, Stephanie did a fantastic job with our two shiba inus. When we came home, I could see they were well taken care of and very content. She treated our dogs as if they were her own, and the many pictures and hilarious videos she sent us while we were gone showed just how happy they were spending time with her. I will absolutely continue booking Stephanie for all of our future getaways!

Stephanie walked our 2 year old lhasapoo, Som. She is a very responsible punctual individual. We loved working with her. Everyday she sent us photos along with a note describing how Som did during the walk. She looked after Som as Som is her own pet. In rainy days, after the walk was over, she would dry Som with a towel. We will definitely book her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I very much enjoy petting, cuddling, and playing with pets. I try to make them feel less anxious or sad without their owner, and truly enjoy spending time with them. I also ensure many pictures and videos for owners!

Information Stephanie L. would like to know about your pet

Are they difficult to walk? (Do they pull a lot? Aggressive with other dogs?) Are there special considerations to know regarding collar, harness, and leash?

A typical day

I enjoy walking dogs around the paths they are used to. Otherwise, green areas with lots of trees and grass to sniff! If there is a fence, definitely a lot of fetch!
