Looking to care for dogs and cats!
Pet care experience
I'm an enthusiastic and friendly postgrad student who grew up with dogs and cats, and wants to walk/care for both on a regular basis! I have an atypical work schedule, and am most available during the days on weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I'm excited to take care of dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. If your dog is very energetic and needs to run off steam, I will gladly take them on a run/brisk walk. I will take them to dog parks (if requested/allowed) to interact with other dogs, will take them to parks to play, or just for a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood. I'm very flexible and accommodating so I can work with you to provide the best dog-walking experience you could possibly expect! Feel free to contact me if you need a one-time dog-sitter or dog-walker, or if you are looking to be a regular client! I am also happy to keep your cat company, or even just leave them alone if they prefer. I also provide housesitting services and can provide light housekeeping duties (exact services negotiable). https://linktr.ee/stephmecham
Reviews
Perfect cat host. She clearly loves pets and will treat yours as her own. My two cats are rescues who frighten easily, and they were totally fine overnight.
Our dogs had a great day with Stephanie! We will definitely be booking her in the future. She is on time, patient with puppies, and made sure they were well taken care of.
Our dog has anxiety and separation issues, making it nearly impossible to board him. From the first moment Stephanie arrived, she was able to make our dog calm and relaxed with her presence. She was everything you could ask for in a pet sitter. I think he misses her more than he missed us! We'll absolutely be coming back to Stephanie any time we need to go out of town.
Punctual, reliable, and very responsive! Stephanie took great care of Ramen and my home!

I typically go to the client's home, to better allow me to meet the client's expectation's standards of care for their unique situation. That being said, I am willing to bring pets in my own home, but would expect to have a thorough conversation with the client beforehand to address expectations. I also have supplemental pet care insurance that covers damage to client's property as well as additional coverage for any incidents of pet injury or incident. This is on top of the Rover Guarantee, and what makes my pricing actually very competitive. Most other sitters do not offer this supplemental coverage and additional protection for your home and beloved pet.

Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet
If there are any particular habits I should be aware of, toys I should use or household objects I should be sure to stay away from, known allergens or medical issues, emergency veterinary information in the event of a crisis
A typical day
I would love to take your dog to the dog park if convenient and allowed; other places I like going are nearby nature trails or ponds. Getting outside with the pups is very meditative and fun, and a great way to release some energy.

My work schedule is atypical (4pm-midnight Sun-Thurs), which provides me with extra flexibility that a lot of other people on here are unable to provide. I am able to take a break during my workday that allows me to come check in on fur babies during my shift, so can provide bathroom breaks and food/water refills at least every 4 hours even during my work days (and far more often during non-work days).
