Your dog’s new best friends

Pet care experience

Growing up in a dog-loving family, I’ve been surrounded by wagging tails and wet noses my entire life - and I wouldn’t have it any other way! What started as a childhood love for saying “doggie” has blossomed into genuine expertise in canine care and training. I specialize in positive reinforcement training for both energetic puppies learning their first lessons and wise senior dogs who deserve patient, understanding care. Working from home means I’m always available to give your furry family member the attention and love they deserve. Your dog will have an instant playmate in my 3-year-old labradoodle, Rory, who’s always ready for a game of fetch or a friendly romp. Our spacious, securely fenced backyard provides the perfect safe haven for outdoor adventures, zoomies, and sunny afternoon naps. When you choose me, you’re not just getting a pet sitter - you’re gaining a passionate dog advocate who treats every pup like family. I understand that leaving your beloved companion requires complete trust, and I’m honored to provide that peace of mind while you’re away.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Stephanie again cared for my dogs as if her own, gave me updates and thoughtful messages. My Lola and Lana approve!

Stephanie was absolutely the best!!! This was my first Rover booking and she made it so easy and I felt my dogs were carried by a family member. Definitely will be my #1 choice!

Our original sitter canceled last minute due to a family emergency. I contacted Stephanie less than 24 hrs in advance, and she was able to accommodate our stay. My dog Loki can be very timid at first in new environments, but with time was able to open up within Stephanie’s home. She makes sure to send daily photos, updates, and also will take your dog for daily walks. I felt extremely comfortable having Loki there, and would book again in the future!

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.
