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.

Stephanie was truly incredible. I had a last-minute, very emotional change of circumstances: we had to put my dog Pugs to sleep the day before I left for a trip, and my other dog, Little, was suddenly alone for the first time after 15 years with his brother. I was worried about how confused and unsettled Little would be, but Stephanie stepped in immediately and adapted so naturally. She took amazing care of Little: feeding him, keeping him comfortable, and giving him the attention and reassurance he needed while I was away. She also kept me informed throughout the weekend, which gave me real peace of mind. When I came home, Little was in great spirits and full of energy, and my place was immaculate - honestly even better than when I left it. Stephanie went above and beyond in every way, and I’m genuinely grateful for the care she showed. I would recommend Stephanie to anyone without hesitation. She exceeded my expectations, and I absolutely plan to book her again.

Stephanie is my favorite Rover sitter! She is so intuitive with my dogs and knows exactly what they need. She can read their body language and communicates so well with them. They’re always so excited to see her. Thank you Stephanie for taking such good care of them!!
