Common to exotic, I care for all!
Pet care experience
I have a soft spot in my heart for all animals. Before becoming a homeowner in 2018, I cared for dogs and cats and guinea pigs for friends and family. I'd walk, play, feed, bathe, administer meds, and do some mentally stimulating games with them. After purchasing my own home, I began to rescue animals from the streets and from community members who couldn't care for their pets anymore -- cats and kittens, emaciated dogs, ferrets, chinchillas, dwarf hamsters, small and large and gigantic dogs. I've settled into 2 of my own dogs, care for a few stray cats, and have caged chinchillas that come to school with me weekly. I absolutely love caring for animals, which is why I want to work for Rover!
Reviews
Our one year old wild and crazy boxer had a wonderful time while staying with Stephanie and her two young dogs. We appreciated seeing videos and pictures of the fun they were having. Stephanie allowed us to do a meet and greet prior to us leaving Jake in her care. She was very easy to reach via text or phone. We would definitely use her services again!
Stephanie did a wonderful job taking care of our critters while we were away! Sent pictures and was easily available to provide us with check-ups for those left in her charge. Will definitely keep her info handy for our next time we have to be away. Great sitter!
She took excellent care of my pup. I would book with her again in a heartbeat! ?
I’m so grateful for Stephanie taking care of my two kitties. I was a little nervous because I had never used this service before, but all my fears were wiped away the minute I met her. She is an excellent provider and I will definitely be reaching out to reschedule for all cat sitting needs.

Safety, trust & environment
For my home, I have a large fenced in backyard and two dogs of my own (1.5yrs each) to play with. I have TONS of toys and mentally simulating games. I have an open door policy on warm days, meaning I leave the door to the backyard open for the dogs to run in and out (on cold days it stays shut, but I have bells on the door knob for them to use to signal outside). I will accommodate with the owner though, if their pet has a set routine or habits.

Availability
I make my own schedule with a youth volunteer program, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am comfortable in a dynamic work setting, meaning I can take bookings weeks in advance or day of. I am usually not away from my house for more than 2-3 hours at a time for my job.
