Dog-loving yoga instructor!

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog lover my whole life! I believe dogs make people better people. There’s something about dogs that light up my heart and I unfortunately cannot have one in my apartment because it’s not pet friendly. I’d love to care for dogs that need an extra hand, and can use some exercise or extra loving during the day. I have experience with a family dog who was a Maltese, and he passed away 2 years ago. I fostered 2 cattle dog puppies that were found with scabies for 3 months during the pandemic, so I have experience with taking care of puppies and potty training along with behavioral training as well. In addition, I helped raise my ex-boyfriend’s(lol!) puppy that is a pit-mut for the first 8 months of his life this past year. I am most comfortable with small-medium sized dogs of all kinds, and big dogs that are more mellow are also great. I am 100lbs so this is more of a safety preference on walks / around other dogs if I need to be aware of that. I have always loved helping train dogs to be good walkers and grew up watching Caesar Milan, professional dog trainer, my whole life! I’m 24 and work at a yoga studio, and am training to be a full time instructor, along with working as a server at a couple restaurants in the city. I have a passion for health and wellness and have been building a social media business which is why I’m looking for a fun way to make some extra cash! Excited to meet and greet you all along with your precious fur kiddos :)

Stephanie is an incredible pet caregiver!! I first met Stephanie when she was fostering my puppy Star before I adopted him. In the short time that she had him she was able to socialize him, potty train him, and teach him a bunch of cool tricks! I was extremely impressed because she was able to do all of these things even with Star being an Australian Cattle Dog (Not for the faint of heart). I could tell from the first moment I met him that Star had been well loved and taken care of. Both Star and I would highly recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for some extra help with their special furry friend.

Safety, trust & environment

I expect basic instructions and any allergy or health related notices so I can take that into consideration at all times. Any rules you have for your dog are helpful as well(ex. not allowed on furniture, treat limits, behavioral notices). I am willing to help with anything medical related and just need to be aware of any behavioral issues or patterns that has happened with strangers in the past if there are any. I am great with dogs of all kinds and treat each animal as the individual they are, whether that is excited or nervous. I can make sure to feed and walk your dog at the appropriate times to make sure they get their energy out and have a good time while you are away, along with spending down time with them just so they have some company. I work remote with my social media business so I would love a companion to sit with while I work on anything work related.

Information Stephanie B. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is newly trained or not well trained, give me a heads up on what you’d like me to watch out for/work on while I’m with your dog. I love dogs of all breeds, but I would like to know what type of dog they are before arrival just so I am prepared on what energy I need to bring to the table to maximize the pup’s experience with me!

A typical day

I can take your dog on walks nearby your home, and go to the nearest parks to hopefully interact with other dogs, or allow them to find a place to play in the grass. I can play fetch and tug-a-ware while playing with them to entertain and give them exercise for the day.

Anytime before 3pm is best for walks, I normally start my serving shifts around 3-4pm. My schedule is very flexible and differs week to week so on the fly walks or drop ins are great. I’m open to staying overnight as needed but would need to make sure we meet in person before we agree to that!
