Pet care experience

Clemson faculty and dog mom

I have had dogs since I was little and currently am mom to a 15-year-old Chihuahua named Charlie. She is a sweet little old lady who needs lots of attention and special care. And don’t worry, no matter how silly your requests may seem, I’m on board! Charlie once decided she would only eat if fed by hand, so, I’ve been there. :)

We were 100% pleased with the way that she took care of Bandit and our home. She is obviously a dog person and we would love to use her when we need her services again.

Stephanie is an excellent dog sitter! She was so sweet during drop ins with our dog Timothy, who is nervous and barks a lot around new people.

She was absolutely wonderful with my 2 fur babies. Patient, professional and so understanding. Especially our weenie baby Muffin is so iffy with strangers. I felt at ease leaving my dogs with Stephanie. And will be using her again for sure! Sent plenty of update texts and photos which I truly appreciate it to make sure they are well taken care of. Thank you again!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced-in yard and an old lady Chihuahua who is mostly deaf and blind and sleeps all day, so she isn’t much of a playmate. However, if your pup prefers not to be around other animals, Charlie will stay at her dad’s (my boyfriend’s) house. 🙂

Pets

A typical day

We’ll first take a walk through the back yard to inspect and sniff all the things. With lots of squirrels and chipmunks around, most pups are entertained for quite a while!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Stephanie can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let me know if there are any specific requests or accommodations needed! For example, sometimes I have to pretend that I cooked something in the kitchen for my dog to eat her food. This involves clacking a spoon against the cutting board and pretending to spoon it in her bowl. We do what we must!
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.
