Pets Loved Like My Own
Hi there! I’m a passionate animal lover with nearly 5 years of pet sitting experience. Starting with friends and coworkers, and growing to include fellow Rover pet parents along the way. Dogs and cats are equally my people, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them like they’re my own. One of the best things I can offer your fur baby is consistency. My steady work schedule gives me the flexibility to keep routines structured and stress-free, which makes a big difference for pets when their humans are away. When I’m not on pet duty, you’ll find me on my yoga mat, at a Pilates class, or out on a long walk. I also love a good happy hour with friends and getting completely hooked on a great TV series (so your pet and I will have plenty of cozy couch time together;) ). I’d love the chance to meet your furry family member and earn your trust the way I have with so many others over the years!

Safety, trust & environment
I’ve stayed in clients’ homes for up to two weeks at a time, caring for their pets and keeping things running smoothly while they’re away. I’m happy to take on some light housekeeping like watering plants, taking our trash/recycling, and keeping track of any packages. I also offer daily drop-ins for feedings, walks, and plenty of good old-fashioned TLC.
Ratings and reviews
Stephanie was wonderful! Barnaby and Bodhe loved her and seemed to have had a very good time while she was taking care of them. She was great at communicating and sending pictures and I will definitely use her again.
Our experience with Stephanie was an absolute nightmare. She displayed complete disrespect of our home. We booked her to stay in our apartment to watch our cats for 3 nights. On Thursday at 3am, she invited 6 of her friends into our apartment complex. They were drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, and performed ‘sexual acts’ in the common area. The apartment manager reached out to us the next morning, informing us all of this was in view of their security cameras. He had received multiple noise complaints from our neighbors, and the cleaning crew had to clean up after their party (they mentioned they had left marijuana joints and used condoms in the common areas). Absolutely disgusting behavior. Every other experience I’ve had with Rover has been fantastic, so this was a huge surprise. This damaged the trust of our neighbors and community. Not to mention, I am unsure of who entered my home. Please exercise extreme caution if you are booking her, and ensure you have security cameras throughout your home.
Stephanie took great care of my cat pepper and my home while I was gone! Definitely will be requesting to have her again!
Stephanie was amazing with my dog, Luna! She was able to help me with a same-day request after my previous sitter ghosted me, and I had only hours to find a sitter before leaving on a trip. Stephanie made me feel very comfortable with her calm and positive demeanor and I could tell that Luna was in good hands. Stephanie was amazing at communicating with me and she even left my home even cleaner than when I left! I would 100% book with her again!
Stephanie is fantastic! She took great care of my dogs and treated them like her own. I loved getting photo updates and knowing my pups were in safe, loving hands. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

Schedule
My Monday–Friday schedule in Scottsdale (11am–4pm) gives me unhurried mornings and relaxed evenings with plenty of space to be fully present. My days start with a workout and a slow cup of coffee before heading in, and wind down with a long sunset walk, a home-cooked meal, and a good show or book. Weekends are for recharging — poolside in the sun, running errands, and hunting down a new spot for coffee or happy hour. It’s a calm, consistent rhythm, that your pet will fit right into!
