Information Stephanie M. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs/wants, or maybe your pet does not like something in particular, and anything else you feel is important for me to know. The littlest piece of information can have a big impact on my relationship with your fur baby.

A typical day

I am a runner/walker, so I have the ability to tire out an exuberant pup. I love challenging them by hiding toys and treats so the babies can seek out "prey".

Stephanie took fantastic care of all of our critters while we were away! She’s incredibly dependable and communicative. I enjoyed the reports and photos after each visit. I know our furbabies appreciated the care and attention she provided as well.

Stephanie was wonderful from the beginning! She was very communicative with every visit while we were out of town, sending pictures and great updates. Plus Kitty loved her! We came home and felt no stress or concern in Kitty which is a great blessing. We feel very comforted knowing we have a great person to reach out to for future trips. Thank you Stephanie!

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.
