Stephanie's experience as an animal caregiver is unmatched. She has impeccable instincts, a vast knowledge of animal behaviour, a calm and confident approach to preventing, navigating, and correcting behavioural issues, and always demonstrates a tremendous respect for all animals. Stephanie is warm and affectionate towards all animals. However, this can be said of many available caregivers advertising their services. What sets her apart from the rest is her keen eye and her vigilance. When assessing whether someone is a qualified caregiver, I look for: 1. Do they have the observational skills to accurately assess my pet's physical condition? 2. Do they have the knowledge to address any issues they find with my pet's physical condition? 3. Do they have the observational skills to accurately assess potential hazards to my animal's welfare? 4. Do they have the experience to prevent or navigate my pet safely away from hazards? 5. Do they have the observational skills to accurately identify my pet's physical/behavioural cues? 6. Do they have the knowledge to interpret the meaning of my pet's behaviour and adjust accordingly? Stephanie does! There are only 2 people that I trust completely to walk my large, reactive dog and she is one of them. If you are looking for someone who is kind, but more importantly, extremely capable, Stephanie is the right choice.
