Pet care experience

Registered Veterinary Tech and Mom

Ive been a licensed RVT (aka.animal nurse) since 2013 when taking my National Boards. I've always been an animal loving, tree hugging, empathetic person so helping pet parents comes naturally. Since I'm extremely flexible, I'd love to help my community take care of their furry friends. My knowledge and experience helps in any stage of life, all those coming with its own set of bumps and turns. I spent many years in speciality care so I cant help but have a little softer spot for seniors and medically complicated. Whether petsitting, medication giving, rehabilitation help, basic training, paw holding, extra TLC or just potty breaks it'd be my pleasure to help.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Whether an animal is at my home or I'm in their home my job is to make them feel as safe and loved just as their parent would. Structure and routine is so important to all creatures, so my goal is to keep things as normal as possible for them. Upon visiting my friends, I want each pet to feel like I’m only there to serve them :) while keeping things as normal as possible for the routine and schedule.

Stephanie was a wonderful sitter for our two dogs! She came by to see them twice before watching them for the weekend to ensure the dogs felt safe with her. She kept me updated in detail throughout the weekend and on top of caring for our dogs, she watered our plants and cleaned up our living area before we got home which was so appreciated. Definitely recommend having Stephanie care for your furry family members!

Stephanie is the best of the best and so knowledgeable with our sick Bindi. Our cat, Bindi has a genetic condition that has caused her to have an enlarged heart, so she is on numerous medicines. Stephanie went over and above to ensure Bindi had the best care, allowing us to enjoy our family vacation. We can’t thank you enough!!

Schedule

I've been lucky enough to take the last few years off to have my small children at home with me. Now that everyone is in full time school I have this open schedule. I miss taking care of littles, I miss animal interaction :) and I'm not quite able to go back to full time work so this is a no brainer. I want to use my skillset to help parents in any capacity small or large

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Stephanie can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Theres no silly detail in your animals care or routine. I want to know what you'd like me to help with, extra time on walks, special areas of concern, funny corks or favorite toys are all helpful and creating a comfortable time for pet. Its all about communication.
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.
