Highlights
Pet care experience
Work from home mom ❤️
I’ve spent the last 15 years fully immersed in the pet world—working in dog daycares, doing walks, baths, kennel cleaning, playtime supervision (and yes, even the occasional breakup of dog fights when things get too wild). I’ve also worked closely with vets in an animal hospital setting, always asking questions and learning everything I can about animal care and health. I’ve been a lifelong pet parent to both cats and dogs, and I’ve picked up basic puppy training and a strong understanding of dog body language along the way—so I know how to help our furry friends feel safe, happy, and understood. I work from home, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. One thing to note: my 6-year-old sidekick is always with me. He’s been doing this since birth and is basically a tiny animal whisperer—super respectful of animals and never pushes boundaries. My rates reflect not only my hands-on experience but also my background in animal behavior and health. I treat every pet like my own, and I’m here to make sure your fur baby is well-loved, safe, and having a blast while you’re away.
Cat care experience
Stephanie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I like to go over details with pet parents beforehand, get to know the pets favorite things to do, or places to go. That way it’s not such an abrupt change for them when owners are away.
Ratings and reviews
Stephanie communicates really clearly and did a great job dropping in to visit our two cats while we were away. They can be shy, but one of them now really loves her. Definitely feel better going out of town and knowing that the cats are well taken care of.
The BEST out there! We have 4 dogs - and that’s not easy for anyone. She does it with ease. Highly recommend Stephanie!
Stephanie did a great job with our two cats and left a wonderfully clean house afterwards. We adopted our cats fairly recently, so they're still a bit shy with strangers, but she was patient and waited for them to warm up. They seemed really happy by the end of her stay.
We had the best experience with Stephanie. It was our first time using Rover, which we were nervous about, but Stephanie made us feel at ease the moment we met her. We had a 9 day vacation and Stephanie stayed at our home to dog sit for our big 90lb great Pyrenees mix. She was great with our dog, she would send us updates, photos and videos and we can tell our boy was happy the entire time. The effort and care Stephanie put into dog/house sitting for us was above and beyond. She left our house cleaner than we had left it before our trip. We will continue using Stephanie for future dog sitting needs, she has our full trust
Very easy to work with, schedule, and depend on! Great with my girl and thank you!!!!
Stephanie was amazing with my dog. He can get anxious at times but he came home a happy boy. We got regular updates and I wasn't worried about him at all. I would definitely recommend her. She even had a tip on how to help him.

Schedule
Just like you, I’ve got a work schedule; but the way I like to put it is: I’m simply stepping into your shoes while you’re away. Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on your pet and make sure they get plenty of potty breaks, attention, and cuddle time throughout the day. It’s all about keeping their routine feeling as normal and cozy as possible.
