Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. My dogs are crate trained and can be in a crate if needed. What would set me apart from other sitters/walkers would be a traumatic experience with my pup, I had trusted the wrong person while I was deployed overseas and it was a heartbreaking ending resulting in the loss of my soulmate. Therefore, I like to provide pet parents with the peace of mind when their fur babies are in my care and treat them as they are my own.

Information Stephanie V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog and/or cat has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. If crate trained, how long do you typically like them to be crated for?

A typical day

I like to stick with your routine when watching your dog, if your dog enjoys going to the beach, we can certainly do a beach walk, or we can go for a little hike, walk around the neighborhood, truly depending on your dog. I do like to bring my own dogs to quieter beaches that are less populated with other dogs, to avoid any confrontations. Therefore, I would do the same for yours so that they have an enjoyable experience.

Stephanie was awesome. We were able to enjoy our holiday away having no doubt that Sierra was being looked after. We would happily recommend Stephanie as well as book her help in the future.

Fantastic!! Steph is honest and punctual, understands that walking a dog is no menial task to an owner. She took on our male Great Dane puppy with ease, as he grew and his energy became abundant. Trusted her with keys and the unsupervised picking up and dropping off for his daily mid afternoon walks while we were still at work. Will continue to use her services, and highly recommend her as well!!

Stephanie is the best! As a pet parent, leaving your pets with someone can be nerve-wracking. When I met Stephanie I was instantly put as ease! She’s super attentive, sends many photos, and I can tell my dogs have a great time with her :) I would 10/10 recommend!!

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.
