Highlights
Pet care experience
Outgoing, active, dog loving person
I’ve owned and trained my own dogs, including working dogs, and have developed a strong understanding of dog behavior, training, and motivation. I take a thoughtful, structured approach to care—prioritizing each dog’s safety, happiness, and individual needs. I’ve also spent significant time researching canine behavior, which helps me read body language, manage different temperaments, and create a positive, low-stress environment. I have my own friendly, well-trained dog who gets along well with other dogs and will typically join me on walks and drop-in visits. If you prefer solo care for your dog, I’m happy to accommodate that with advance notice. For house sitting, my dog would need to come with me, but I always ensure a smooth and respectful introduction so both dogs are comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment
If I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure their core needs are consistently met throughout the day—exercise, play, feeding, and regular bathroom breaks. I focus on keeping dogs both physically active and mentally engaged through walks, outdoor time, and interactive play tailored to their energy level and personality. I also pay close attention to their routine and comfort, making sure they feel safe, settled, and well cared for while their owner is away.
Ratings and reviews
Stefani was wonderful with our pup Teddy, very patient and kind. Looking forward to the next time, thank you Stefani!
I highly recommend Stefani for your dog walking needs. Knowing her for many years I can share that she is not only a true dog lover but also incredibly responsible and respectful for dogs and humans alike. Stefani has a strengths-based approach, focusing on each dog's individual needs and preferences and is nonjudgmental. Your furry friend will be in excellent hands with Stef, and you can trust her to provide the utmost care and attention.
Stefani is an animal lover that likes to take charge and teach your dog how to walk properly. She is dependable and friendly. She has walked my two large dogs with ease for years.
Stefani is absolutely amazing with dogs. Not only is she well researched on virtually all dog breeds, but she treats them with respect, compassion, and love, no matter what is going on in her life. She is also a staunch advocate for their wellbeing, and makes sure that they are always fed properly, walked, and given sufficient amounts of attention throughout the day. This was true when she had her previous dog, Athena, and it is true now with her brother's dog, Smoka. She would be the ideal dog-walker or dog-sitter for your pet.

Schedule
I’m available to care for your dog on Friday evenings and throughout the weekends, and I’m flexible within that time for services such as walks, drop-ins, or extended care. I enjoy spending that time actively engaging with dogs through exercise, play, and attention tailored to their needs.
