Calm, loving care on the Westside🐾

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a full-time sitter with 6+ years of experience offering personalized, one-on-one care. I accept only one client at a time so your pup gets my full attention in a calm, stress-free home. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments across the Westside. For cats: drop-ins and house-sitting only. I’m known for being patient, intuitive, and attentive—whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or senior, I tailor care to their needs so they feel safe and comfortable. Clients love my excellent communication, twice-daily photo updates, and the peace of mind of coming home to a happy, healthy dog and a very clean space. Good to know: ✔ Work from home — your dog is not alone for long (max 2.5 hours) ✔ Only one dog at a time, no other pets ✔ Clean, cozy Venice studio (great for small dogs) Can’t wait to meet you and your pup! Feel free to reach out and check out my reviews 🐾

Stephanie was so communicative and sweet! She took my pup out super last minute, and gave me updates throughout the walk. Would definitely book her again!

We were lucky to find Stephanie come and take care of our 10-week-old puppy when we suddenly had to go out of town and were stuck without anyone to care for our dog who wasn't yet housebroken. It was very last minute for us and we had never hired a dog sitter before through Rover so we were a little anxious to find essentially a stranger who we could meet quickly and trust to stay in our home with our new little one . Fortunately, Stephanie was perfect for us. She's kind, clearly loves dogs, and was able to easily fold into our place for a few days while we were gone. Stephanie kept us updated with pictures and reports about how the puppy was doing. We're glad we found her and are looking forward to having her take care of the puppy again in the future if need be.

Stephanie was wonderful with my dog and stayed in my house with him for a full 5 days while I was out of town. She walked him a bunch and listened to all my guidance, when I came home my place was cleaner than when I left it. She was a joy to deal with and a wonderful find. I especially loved that she works from home and was with Rupert fulltime the whole week, he was in absolute heaven. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Stephanie again and I trust her completely with the care of my pup! 💜

Stephanie took very good care of our furry friends; three large doodles and two kitties. She stayed in our home for 5 days, and left the house clean and the sheets and towels washed as well! Very happy with her service.

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.
