About Steph G.

Safety, trust & environment
I have had my fair share of cautious and shy cats and dogs some were my fur babies, and some I have cared for, for others. I understand pets need to take their time in getting to know someone. I will let them take as much time as they need, while encouraging them to come say hello with treats, my voice or toys depending on the animal. I will let them come to me at their pace. I enjoy caring for or walking senior dogs and cats the most, however, I am more than happy to care for the youngins to. Despite their age, senior fur babies can still have some sass and I aspire to be the same at an older age!
Information Steph G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any: - Allergies - Dietary restrictions - Temperament around humans and other dogs - If they are prone to tiring quickly - Basic commands they know (any commands you'd like to practice on walks) - Toys (or comfort toys) to bring with them on walks And of course, anything else you feel would make them feel safe and comfortable.
A typical day
I love to let your fur baby sniff and explore the world around them, taking in all the smells and stopping as many times as they like! I have all the patience in the world for a fur baby who wants to take their time enjoying their surroundings. Where ever your furbaby likes to go on your walks, we will go, just as we are getting to know each other. Unless they are adventurous and are ready to try new places, Ill google local hot spots for dog parks where they can splash around in the water, meet other interesting dogs and creatures (squirrels, birds, etc.) or depending on the dogs needs- walk for a bit and I can carry their royal highness the rest of the way.

Pet care experience
When my friend asked me too look after her chicken (yes you read that right), I realized I needed to do what I love, spend more time with animals! Walking animals is a great way to help the fur babies get their exercise as well as help me with my fitness goals, its a win win all around! I graduated with a Veterinary Assistant Diploma from MBC in 2014. This helped me make more informed decisions for my pets and made me more confident in taking care of others pets as well. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

Reviews
We are incredibly happy we found Steph!!
We are both so happy we found Steph!! She just fit into our schedule so well. Punctual. Easy to talk to. My pup loves her!!
Steph has been an absolutely wonderful dog walker for my dog, Zoe. From day one, Steph has been reliable, caring, and incredibly professional. It is obvious how much she genuinely loves animals, and Zoe adores her! Knowing Zoe is in such kind and capable hands gives me complete peace of mind. Zoe always comes home happy and well exercised. I also really appreciate the updates and the extra care and attention Steph gives to every walk. I couldn’t ask for a better person to care for Zoe and would highly recommend Steph to anyone looking for a trustworthy and amazing dog walker!
As always, Steph was amazing with my 2 cats while I was away on vacation. One of my cats was recently diagnosed with asthma and Steph is the only sitter I’ve had that she won’t hide from, so I was eternally grateful that she was successfully able to administer her puffer each visit! Having Steph take care of my babies puts me at ease as I know they are well taken care of ☺️
