Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard with a doggie door to the backyard if your dog knows how to use one. My neighbor is small with sidewalks for safety. I have a large and medium crate if your dog requires one no need to bring it. They can be on the couch or even sleep in the bed if that is what they are used to. I have a covered patio to protect from the weather elements so your dog can lay outside and enjoy fresh air. Water will be available outside also.

Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know any special requirements your dog needs, such as meds, temperament, potty breaks, feeding times, sleep habits with toys etc. Any info that would be considered not standard.

A typical day

I can take your dog for walks. I will play outside with them or if they are not that active, we can cuddle on the couch or they can snuggle in one of many dog beds and blankets.

Pet care experience

I have had a dog in my life since age 6. I have always had rescue dogs and as many as 8 on a large property. I have lost all 11 now and don't know if I can take the heartbreak again. To provide boarding or daycare options, my 'dog fix' will be fulfilled and serve your needs also. I have never met a dog that didn't like me, all dogs I have met engage with me quickly. I am a RN and have performed CPR on one of my dogs before bringing him back to life. I can give oral meds and have given injections to my dogs in the past. I walk daily and if your dog wants to join me, perfect!

Stephanie is a huge blessing! I recently boarded my puppy and senior dog with her for a week. It was evident how much she cared for them and how loved they were in my absence. Stephanie sent updates and pictures throughout the week. I have already rebooked with her!

Stephanie is wonderful. She took care of dog for a week. I received lots of pictures. Whenever I asked how my dog was doing, she always responded in a timely matter. She is kind and loves animals. I will use her again and I highly recommend her.

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.
