Thank you Stephanie! You do such a wonder job taking care of our dog, Ollie. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and we completely trust her with his car. We have boarded Ollie with Stephanie several times, and each experience has been excellent. We highly recommend her to anyone for a caring, reliable dog sitter!!

Stephanie and her husband were great with our dog, Burton. They were in regular communication and we got lots of pictures of Burton having a good time. Highly recommend.

Our dog, Teddy, received excellent care - Stephanie and her family were very caring and detail oriented. He clearly enjoyed his time at their home. We appreciated the photos and updates.

Our favorite dog sitter! Winter always gets lots of attention and outside time and comes home happy and tired. :)

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 or play time, walks vary according to your pet's needs, weather and my availability.

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.
