Information Stephanie R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to meet with you and your furry friends beforehand to get to know you a little better and discuss your expectations of leaving your four legged family member in my care. We would go over any medications needed, food schedule, sleeping arrangements, any allergies etc.

A typical day

On days I don’t work, I am willing to take dogs for walks or take them to near by dog parks if the owners are ok with that. I am also willing to play with their favorite toys while visiting.

Registered Vet Tech Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

My name is Stephanie. I would love to help you with your pet sitting needs! I am a registered vet tech for 10+ years now. I have 2 German Short Haired Pointers name Fox-13 years old and Eva-10 years old. They are older dogs and tend to be lazy and keep to themselves. I am well trained in working with not only dogs and cats but with exotic pets as well which include birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, bearded dragons etc. I also am trained in administering medication if needed which include pills and insulin injections. Please reach out for your future travel plans!

Thank you for taking such good care of Maui, as you always do! So sorry for his grumpiness on the first day. He's not happy the first day when we are gone but adjusts quickly thanks to your great care! We can enjoy our vacation knowing he is in good hands.

Stephanie was amazing! If I ever need a dog sitter again, I would definitely book her without a doubt. She took care of Lilo for two weeks, and every single day she sent photos and videos without fail. Even though I was far away, she made me feel secure knowing that she was taking great care of my dog. I highly recommend her 100%!

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.
