Pet care experience

Experienced and caring animal lover

I have a deep passion for animals, and have cared for them in all sorts of situations, from rescues to breeders to deployments. Throughout my life, I've had the pleasure of owning a wide variety of pets, and I couldn't imagine my life without them! I'm experienced in a variety of pet care techniques, including bottle feeding, administering medication, and caring for pets with special needs such as urinary incontinence, blindness, deafness, and age-related issues. I'm even comfortable caring for reptiles, aquatic creatures, caged animals, and birds! I believe in fostering positive relationships with all animals, and I promise to care for your pets with the same level of attention and affection that I give to my own pets. In fact, my ultimate dream is to run a neonatal pet rescue for very young animals. It's worth noting that I have an autoimmune disorder that sometimes limits my physical abilities. Sometimes I will bring my (dog smart) children with me to help with tasks I struggle with. If you have a dog, I'm happy to bring along my own pup for walks or check-ins, as she's great at socializing with other dogs. Alternatively, if your pet is shy, I can leave my dog at home.

Stephanie did a fantastic job taking care of my dogs and cats while I was out of town. She sent me pictures every day and brought up any issues immediately. I came home to four happy pets and a clean house. I would definitely book with her again!

She was very attentive, followed all our instructions. Sent us daily pictures and videos of our pets and gave us daily updates as well. She stayed in contact with us the whole time and was very loving towards are pets, and even provided some tips for us to help us better with one of our dogs!

It's always helpful to have a complete Rover profile for your pet! Providing detailed care instructions including feeding and supplement schedules and measurements is crucial. Also, don't forget to mention any food allergies or ingredients to avoid. If you're interested, you can inquire about additional services like nail trimming or a pampering session! Please keep in mind our policies: - All animals under my care should be listed on Rover. For caged/tanked animals, they can be listed per enclosure. - If you have more than four animals, the visit will require 60 minutes. Otherwise, visits are assumed to be 30 minutes unless discussed otherwise.
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.
