Information Stephanne P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your furbabies have special needs, certain personality traits, favorite things to do, or things to avoid. The more information you provide the better care I can give your family member.

A typical day

I do believe in mental, physical and emotional exercise. For the younger pups I do believe in plenty of exercise combined with structure. Long walks, low impact fetch, command exercises. For older seniors, I believe in joyful walks at a good pace - exploring new scents and more mental games like treat balls and finders. For (young or old) those that love a nice massage or brushing to reduce stress and energize stiff muscles...that's me. I will admit I am not a fan of dog parks because there is less control of the environment and interactions, but I will make up for it however I can. :) For my feline furbabies, feathers, strings, jiggling balls, and fetch with mice. Of course we can definitely do hugs, kisses and rubs. If a brushing is tolerated, it's a bonus for hair removal.

Stephanne is great with my 3 dogs. She can handle taking all 3 of my dogs on walks together, has so much experience with dog behavior, and she’s very attentive to their health and well being. She is incredibly reliable; I have such peace of mind knowing she’s taking care of my dogs.

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.
