Safety, trust & environment

Environment I live in an apartment with two other responsible adults who are respectful of the pets in my care. While they may interact with your pet, their care is my sole responsibility. Your pet will be staying in my clean and secure bedroom with full freedom to roam and run around between my room and another room (provided your pet gets along with my dog) She is a 4 year old Yorkie and is very friendly and playful. Safety My house is equipped with a tall hallway gate and a 24/7 petcam. Your pet's living space will also be clean and free of any harmful objects, food, substances, and other unsafe conditions. During your pet's stay, I tailor their environment to best fit their needs. My room is their room 🩷 Trust I provide full transparency and an open line of communication (while I am at work, responses may be slightly delayed, but I will always get back to you as soon as possible) You will receive regular updates throughout your pet’s stay, including photos and/or videos. If there are any changes in behavior, appetite, or health, you will be notified right away. To ensure the best care for your pet, all pets must be up to date with their rabies vaccine (as required by law) distemper, and bordatella vaccines. They must also be free of fleas, ticks, and contagious diseases The safety and comfort of your pet will always come first. If I believe a situation poses a risk to your pet, another animal, myself, or anyone else, you will be notified to discuss options.

Pet care experience

Pet Care Experience I am a full time veterinary technician, and have 3 years of experience. Who knows dogs and cats better than someone who works with them? 😊🩷 I provide care for all kinds of cats and dogs, with all kinds of personalities. I understand their needs based on age, health, breed, and personality. Along with the Rover services I provide, I can also offer medical care such as subcutaneous fluids and/or medications at no extra cost. Your pet will have a safe, fun, and stress free experience in a comfortable environment. Since each pet is different, I personalize their care based on their needs, breed, personality, and comfort level. Boarding is my preferred service to offer. Selecting this option is discounted, and my availability is more flexible 🌸🌼

Stephanie is great! Our dog was there for 4-5 days and looked very relaxed, happy, and content. Stephanie gave daily updates, photos, and a detailed sheet on our dog’s activity. Would recommend, Stephanie is very caring!

Stephanie took amazing care of my cat, Milo! She gave him so much love and attention, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable while I was away. She sent me lots of pictures every day, which made me feel so much better. She even made a daily chart of everything Milo did, including how he was eating and playing. I could tell she really cared about him, and I would definitely trust her to watch Milo again. I highly recommend Stephanie!

Stephanie is an absolutely wonderful person — warm, friendly, and genuinely loves our dog Minnie. She always greets her with a smile and plenty of affection. We have been so impressed by her reliability and the level of care and responsibility she brings to looking after our girl. We are truly grateful to have her. We would recommend Stephanie to anyone without hesitation!
