About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I’m currently serving in the Navy while attending college, and I bring that same level of discipline, reliability, and attention to detail into my work with animals. I specialize in working with dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding. I trained my golden retriever, Eleanor, from severe anxiety, she couldn’t even tolerate a leash at first, to becoming a confident, happy dog through consistent, positive reinforcement. That experience taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adapt to each dog’s unique personality. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, or needs structure, I provide safe, attentive, and engaging walks tailored to their needs. I treat every dog like my own and always prioritize their comfort and well-being. I’d love to meet your pup, feel free to reach out to schedule a walk! Caring for dogs is something I naturally build into my day. I already plan my routine around my own dog, Eleanor, so adding walks, playtime, and check-ins for other dogs fits in seamlessly. I’m used to staying consistent with schedules, and I make sure every dog gets the time, attention, and care they need. It’s something I genuinely enjoy, not just something I fit in. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk times, medications if needed, and any specific preferences. In a client’s home, I make sure the environment stays clean, safe, and stress-free, and I respect the space as if it were my own. I pay close attention to each dog’s behavior and body language to ensure they’re comfortable, especially for dogs who may be anxious or adjusting. In my own home, I provide a structured, calm environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and positive interaction. I prioritize safety at all times and never leave pets unattended in situations that could be stressful or unsafe. I also keep owners updated with regular messages and photos so they feel confident and connected while they’re away.
“Shelby was awesome. He took such great care of my chihuahua while I was away, even though my pup can be… A LOT. He kept me in the loop the whole time with photos and updates, which made being away so much easier. You can tell he really cares and knows what he’s doing. Super reliable, super kind, and honestly just great to work with. Highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and phenomenal with pets. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
“Serena was amazing! She is great at communicating (she responded to my changes and details quickly) and rebel loves her. It is so nice to have someone I can trust when I am unavailable to be there for my dog. She was always on time even when I made changes to the location/details. I would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future for Rebel. (: Thank you Serena!”
“Tyler is fantastic! Don’t hesitate to book with him, always quick to respond and takes great care of my pups and keeps me informed. Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker to trust on a daily basis.”
“Summer is an absolute gem! She is absolutely wonderful with communication, super reliable, and loves our boy, Louie, like her own. We are so fortunate to have found her!!”

About: I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends, neighbors, and family for years. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of every kind, from playful puppies and kittens to calm seniors, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality.

About: I've had dogs all my life, & have owned my own for 20 years. When I got married I took in my parents 2 older yorkies & purchased our own. During the last 20 years, I've raised a total of 6 generations of Yorkies. As my Yorkies have gotten older, we’re eyeing to get a bigger dog soon & looking to get used to walking bigger babies. So we’re both going to be walking each other while having fun too! I also love pictures, so if you request them, I will be more than happy to send pics & videos during their walks. Any questions, just ask! I am a stay at home dog mom, so I am always home, unless I need to run an errand, then my husband will be here. Since I have my own set of dogs, it’s something I already do & would love to take care of other dogs/ cats as passive income. I have a fenced yard & my own pack of dogs. They are never left unattended or outside for more than 5-10 mins. While doing their business or getting their Vitamin D in for the day. We do prefer pets that are able to be crated at night. Please be prepared to bring a crate for your baby. We also do require that your baby have records of shots. This can be discussed in further detail via phone call.
“Benjamin is awesome! He is reliable, communicative, and, most importantly, great with animals! I know my dog Grizzly looks forward to hanging out with him everyday!”

West Riverfront dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ahmad was a true savior to step in with minimal notice and do a 23 day booking when Nena's primary caretaker had a medical emergency. Completely professional, great communication and every picture I received of Nena...she was smiling ear to ear! Nena was in great spirits when I finally got home after a long and difficult trip, I knew she was in good hands!
Nicole was helping us out with our pug, Bert, after I had hip surgery. Nicole is super friendly, great with communication, but most importantly Bert loved her! I would ask if he was excited for Nicole to come and he would wait by the dog. Strongly suggest booking her for your doggos and cat needs. I plan on calling her again for future visits
Natalie has been an absolute lifesaver, taking care of my pup as I recover from knee surgery. It’s amazingly clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. She’s reliable, communicative, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my pup was happy, safe, and well-exercised. What really stands out is the level of attention and love she gives. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, professional, and truly passionate about animals, Natalie is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Ari was great! Bert was so excited to meet her—he immediately brought her a toy before heading out on their 30-minute walk. She was very mindful of Bert being a pug in the hot weather and brought him back a little early, which we truly appreciated. He came home happy and exhausted! We’re already planning to use Ari again in just a few days. Highly recommend booking her!
We had a really positive experience with Amanda walking our dog Jaxon. She was punctual, attentive, and kept us in the loop, which we appreciated while we were out of town. Jaxon loves his walks and came back tired in the best way. We’d gladly book with her again!
When Nena's regular sitter was hospitalized right before a business trip we were completely lost and in a panic. Andrea to the rescue! Andrea was super quick and responding to my inquiry for availability, and setting up a meet and greet. Nena was extremely happy and pampered my entire trip, and I came home to a pup that was grinning from ear to ear! Great communication, updates and pictures everyday while I was away. Nena definitely has a new friend in Andrea!
