Information Stephanie S. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with several breeds but mostly mix breeds and larger dogs. I like to think this old dog CAN learn new tricks or breeds. Please no cujos, though. I don't heal as quickly as I once did.

A typical day

I have a large yard and decent energy for your pup's needs. Or if they need a soft place to snooze unbothered except to visit the grassy area when nature calls them. I can handle incontinent pups too. Depends are not for all of us! ;)

Could not have been happier with Stephanie! She was fantastic from meet and greet to communication for the 20 days we were gone. We even had some headaches arise mid trip and Stephanie helped us to problem solve and pick up meds from the vet!

Great communication, lovely personality, and her dog is very relaxed. My pup sometimes has issues with other dogs, but they got along very well. Would recommend to anyone needing a sitter 🙂

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.
