Hands down without a doubt the best doggy sitter ever. She kept in touch multiple times daily with photos and updates. My dog is usually very anxious and doesn’t eat when I leave but he ate with her. Treated my dog like her own and sent him home with some goodies and treats. 5 stars isn’t sufficient. Thank you so much

Happy dog and much fun had! Mae was immediately excited to play with Poppy, and I knew Stephanie would treat Mae like her own with love and care. I would not hesitate to book with Stephanie again.

Stephanie sent me pictures everyday and kept us updated daily! Our pup always looked so happy and like he got a lot of play time with his friends. I would 100% recommend they watch your dog- they will be in good hands.

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to give pups a home away from home and a fun and safe environment. In our home, pets will have plenty of engaging play time and socialization with other pups. You can expect a lot of photos and updates throughout their stay and I like to keep pet parents updated on their pups.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs have on-demand access to potty breaks in our fenced yard and yard time any time they need. In general, dogs are let out first thing in the morning and fed according to their schedule at home. Dogs get potty breaks a minimum of every 2-4 hours (or more frequently if needed) and are not left unattended in our yard. I do try to incorporate at least 1 enrichment activity a day in addition to walks/play time, playtime/walk time will vary according to your pet's needs. We may do hikes as well or other fun trails as well. If you do not want me to drive with your pet to any trails or parks, please let me know.

Prior to scheduling a meet and greet, I'll ask basic questions to screen for overall fit. If your pup sounds like a good fit, we proceed with a meet and greet. At the meet and greet, I’ll ask a variety of questions to ensure a comfortable stay for your pup. If you have any questions about my services, please reach out :) Meet and greets are a brief 15-30 minutes but I am thorough. I will ask questions about your dog's general temperament, energy levels, meal time behaviors, allergies, medications, treats, leash behaviors, crating, bed time routines, sleep, territorial behaviors, exercise abilities and anything that may be relevant according to your pet bio. However, if there is anything unique to your pet that I do not cover -- please let me know.
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.
