Bow wow wow am I glad to meet you!
Pet care experience
Hello new friends! I am so excited for the opportunity to get to know (firstly) your pet and you. My name is Steph and I am a recent GW grad, but I am originally from Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes (and about that many dogs per neighborhood, it would seem!). I've grown up around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, and helped train both of my dogs (English field cockers) as puppies. As a dog walker my philosophy is simple: every walk is geared towards the happiness of your pup! Even though walking the dog was considered a chore in my household growing up, I never hurried along my dogs or tore them away from a smell, because I strongly believe that a walk is their time to, well, stop and smell the roses (or mailbox, or whatever it may be)! I live a very active lifestyle, so I am thrilled to have the chance to take your dog on an adventure around our beautiful city and spend the time getting to know their personality. Rain or shine, I'm always down to show your pup a good time! *Currently working in-person in McLean during business hours and living very COVID-consciously*
Reviews
Apologies for the delay in writing this. Stephanie dog sat our two dogs during my mother's funeral service this past Jan. and she was great. Prompt, easy going with the dogs, all around wonderful person. Would not hesitate to book her again. Thank you Stephanie!!
Stephanie made our trip to DC that more enjoyable. Her professionalism-very prompt and great follow thru-her smile and her upbeat personality immediately put us at ease that Yogi was being left in good hands! We will most definitely use Stephanie again!
Stephanie was great with Bash! She was incredibly attentive, thoughtful and sweet with her. I felt comfortable that she was in good hands as Stephanie understood her care instructions and asked questions to fill in anything I missed. Will rebook! Thanks, Stephanie!
Loved Stephanie so was amazing and dogs loved her! Will use her again!

Information Stephanie A. would like to know about your pet
Regarding house-sitting, I would love to know your general routines so I can keep your dog's lifestyle as consistent as possible! If you wouldn't also mind sharing general likes, dislikes, favorite toys and activities, and tell me a bit about their personality, that would also be wonderful. I want to ensure that your dog has as great a time with me as I will have with them (and that's already a guarantee!).
A typical day
This is where you come in! Does your dog have any favorite places in your neighborhood? Are they mellow or high energy? As someone who leads a very active lifestyle and as a career athlete, I would love to play all sorts of games with your pup, from fetch to frisbee to tug of war or tag. I'm here to create a connection with your family, starting with the heart and soul of your family- your dog! And everybody knows that walks and games are the key to any dog's heart, so sign me up!
