Pet care experience

I’ll treat your pet like my own!

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist who is waiting for my next job to begin and happy to help take care of fur babies in the meantime! I have flexible availability and love being with dogs and cats. am currently a Ph.D. student in psychology. 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 pet 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 pet soon!

Pets

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!

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!

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!

Dog Walking • Jan 24, 2019

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!

Stephanie is one of the most reliable people I know. She has watched our dog for years, and we have known her since she was a young child. She is extremely caring and passionate about her life, and is always looking for ways to give back to make other people’s lives better. As a dog sitter, she is very careful and kind to our dog like it is her own. We can always depend on her to sit and walk our dog, and we know he will be taken care of, no worries at all. If you want a person who will truly care for your dog and not just for payment, Stephanie is your girl.

House Sitting • Dec 29, 2018

Stephanie did an amazing job with our two dogs! We honestly could’t have been more pleased with our experience. Stephanie stayed at our house for a week while we were out of town (our first time using an in-home sitter), and I’m so glad we did it! Stephanie seemed to truly love spending time with the boys. She sent tons of photos and videos which put us at ease and showed that they were clearly smitten with her. She followed our care instructions exactly, which included administering medication, and was an extremely courteous and respectful house guest. We will absolutely be using her again!

Schedule

Very flexible right now, I just finished a fellowship and am waiting for my job to start! I will be a good fit for imminent needs as opposed to long-term help.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Stephanie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
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?
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.
