Animal loving mom and son team.

Pet care experience

I am a 38 year old lover of dogs and other animals, and my 13 year old son absolutely adores dogs. He will play fetch and run with a dog for hours and not tire. We both love taking walks, and trips to dog parks, and the local dog approved beaches. We have a very desirable availability during the week, as I only work 10 days a month at my 9-5 job and am available to tend to your pets needs during much of my time off. My dog/pet experience dates way back to high school (early 2000's) when I cared for our family pets, as well as pets around our neighborhood. I also did agility shows with dogs, as well as horse shows, rabbit shows, and even raised chickens. My passion for animals is still thriving but my space to raise them is temporarily limited due to single motherhood and recently putting myself through college. My goal is to utilize my Rover earnings to pay off student loans and buy a rural home so that I can give my pet adoring son an upbringing with plenty of animals of his own to love on....but first, let us love on yours!! *Edit* I do live in an apartment and there are rules about dog sizes. Unfortunately, at this time I can only board dogs approximately 25lbs or less. Sorry!! We love big dogs, but have to follow the rules.

Stevie did a great job caring for Rudy while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and daily reports of her time with him. When we returned, he was well cared for and happy :) I would highly recommend Stevie to care for your pet as she was attentive, communicative and went above and beyond. Thank you Stevie!

Stevie is great! She sent us pictures on a daily basis showing how good our dog was doing. Our house looked great when we returned home and our dog was very happy. She is very dependable. We hope to use her more in the future.

Always responsible, caring, trustworthy, etc., and etc. Stevie has in-home sitting for me a few times and I am extremely grateful for the love and care she gives to my animal family (large dog and 2 kitties)! She sends me photos and videos every day. I highly recommend her services! Money well spent!!

Information Stevie V. would like to know about your pet

Because I have a child/pre-teen, I will need to be aware of any aggressive tendencies your dog might have. If they are territorial when it comes to things like food or their beds. And if they can have people food, as my son is a sharing kind of guy. :)

A typical day

We live in Rockford adjacent to the White pine trail. We love walking the trail to town and often through the local dog park. We love water and often hang out at the dog beach in Port Sheldon and play fetch with people's dogs. If your dog likes water, they will surely enjoy hanging out with us.
