TRAINER EXPERINCE!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am a dog trainer with 10 years experience of home training, group training!. I am using rover to expand my experience and interact with as many dogs as I can. It doesn't stop there! I also enjoy cats! They are family to many and I believe they deserves some attention too! I like to start any of my relationships with family and pets with drop-in visits. Drop-ins allow for the family and 4-legged pal get to know me. It's so important that trust is made between me and fur babies! I need to make sure I can communicate with them in the home before our first adventure can begin! Drop-in visits are affordable and perfect for advance age, special needs, new puppy, or a kitty. I offer structured playtime, serve a meal, medications, and potty break or clean up. Dogs and cats both have very different needs but both benefit from structure and schedule. I hope to be able to provide a sigh of relief knowing someone will come in and be a companion for your special family member. Walks I begin after a meet and greet are done. Once trust is established and the owner decides to allow me to walk with your pet. After all of that, and everyone gets along then in-home stays while your away will then be available :) max 2 weeks ***PLEASE NOTE***Prices determined based on the service requested. Please contact me for details before booking.

Thank you Stephanie for taking such great care of my dogs!! Stephanie is so kind and has great intuition when it comes to taking care of animals, and after just a couple of visits my dogs grew to love her so much. She is very communicative and follows instructions so well, and understands dogs so well that if anything unexpected comes up outside of the given instructions I have 100% trust in her to take appropriate action. Thank you Stephanie!!

Steph is amazing with dogs!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. She treated our dog with caring care, kept us updated with photos and messages, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Highly recommend.

Stephanie was outstanding. She took care of our 2 morkies so well while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the visits. It was obvious she knows how to handle and care for them. Thank You

Stephanie took great care of our baby while we were away. I could tell he was well looked after, happy and tired from his interactions with her. I appreciated all the photos and check ins for each of her visits. We are looking forward to Stephanie looking after Oakley again soon!

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.
