Pet care experience

Your pet's new favorite person

Hi, I'm Stephanie! I'm an animal lover and have been pet sitting with Rover since 2015. I used to have two dogs but they've both crossed the rainbow bridge and now I've now turned cat lady - Bill and Popi 😻 I volunteer at the Minneapolis Animal Care/Control shelter working with cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages, and absolutely love it! I previously volunteered at the Golden Valley Humane Society where I started out working on the adoption floor and then transitioned to working with the shy/fearful dogs getting ready for adoption. I have experience playing, walking, feeding, and training dogs and cats of all different backgrounds and temperaments.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I follow the routines you map out. Your pets won't feel like a stranger is taking care of them, I'll give them all the love they normally get from you. If at my house, I have two cats so your pup would be gated in the kitchen/laundry area. We'd go out through the garage for potty breaks and walks.

Finding dog care is usually stressful in itself for us. But a family emergency required us to leave town on relatively short notice, that stress was multiplied. I work from home so our two dogs are used to having someone around most of the time. One is also a bit high-maintenance—slow to warm up to strangers, needs medication, requires frequent potty breaks, and has some incontinence issues (diapers!) due to said meds. Stephanie made the experience as worry-free as possible. She responded quickly to our booking request, and her calm, confident demeanor during the initial meet-and-greet immediately put us at ease. While we were away, she provided frequent updates and photos, giving us peace of mind that our dogs were in great hands. We came home to a clean house and two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I truly appreciated Stephanie’s care and professionalism during a difficult time for our family. While the cost of having someone stay in your home can sometimes feel like a luxury, she gave us one less thing to worry about when we needed it most—and made her stay worth every penny.

Stephanie stayed with our 2 dogs for a week while we were on vacation and did a great job, updates every day and put us at ease while we were gone, it was so nice to be able to leave the dogs at home vs leaving them somewhere else for a week, I would definitely recommend her and hope she is available next year when we take our vacation

We have used Stephanie multiple times now and we are always so happy with the care she provides! She recently spent a week walking our dogs while we were away and everything went perfectly! We would definitely book again.
