hello doggos

Pet care experience

hello, I’m Stephanie! I’m currently a grad-student and dog owner myself of a 3 year old corgi-mix, but have been dog-sitting for the past 5 years for both friends and clients through Rover. When you book with me, you can expect highly individualized care for your pet, as I will only take on one client at a time. (My personal preference is to do a quick meet and greet prior to boarding, but this can be a case by case basis depending on our schedules!) I will also only take on clients during days that I am able to stay home majority of the day, so your pet will very rarely be left alone during his/her stay with me. This also means I will be available for owners and will be able to keep you in contact with lots of updates and pictures (frequency can be based on the owner’s preference, of course). I like to make sure your pets daily routine is adhered to as much as possible, so the more info you give me about your pet’s routine, the better! A little more about me: I really enjoy working with people as well as dogs. I'm a quick learner. I listen to a very wide range of music- but 80s pop and 90s r&b will always get my head bopping. I have a car. I understand each dog and dog owner have different needs to be met, so I am more than willing to learn how I may best serve you guys. If you have any questions, I’m more than happy to answer! :) use this promo code for $20 off: STEPHR10538

Second time Stephanie watched our young Frenchie Truffles. Another great experience- very professional and excellent communication. Would definitely trust her with Truffles again!

Stephanie was great! Was dog sitting for a half day and sent me several reviews. Also looked like Truffles had a good time too! Would 100% trust Stephanie to dog sit in the future. Thanks for a great experience!

I had Stephanie dog-sit my dog at her place for a week while I went on vacation, and she was the best! Our family was able to fully enjoy the trip, knowing that our dog was in good hands. Stephanie made sure to ask any questions she had directly to us, as well as sent many pictures and videos to let us know how our dog was doing. All in all, very trustworthy!

Information Stephanie R. would like to know about your pet

I like to make sure your pet’s daily routine is adhered to as much as possible, so the more info you give me about your pet’s routine, the better! This includes, but is not limited to: typical eating/sleeping/bathroom schedule, medications, allergies, commands, fear/aggression history, etc. Also, preference is for your pet to picked up and dropped off at my home, but feel free to reach out about pick up/drop off options.

A typical day

On a typical day, I take dogs on a minimum of 2 walks around the neighborhood. I am located very close to some parks, the Somerville Community Path, etc. which are great for walking. If your dog likes dog parks, we can go to the Assembly Dog Park. All I ask is that your dog is fairly well leash-trained!
