Experience with reactive dogs
Hi! My name is Steph and a lifelong dog lover and experienced handler, I understand that every dog is unique and some come with a little extra personality. I have 2 reactive dogs myself so I know how to provide a calm, safe, and structured environment where your pup can feel secure and loved. Whether your dog has a lot of energy to burn, needs slow introductions, space from other animals, or just someone who “gets it,” I’ve got you covered. I’m patient, respectful of boundaries, and never force interactions. Snuggles, enrichment activities, and stress-free walks are all part of the experience. Your dog’s comfort and safety come first, always. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

Safety, trust & environment
I can care for pets in your home and will ensure they are looked after as if they were my own pets. I love updates myself so will be providing pictures and videos to ensure that you know that your pets are in great hands.
Ratings and reviews
Stephanie is just the best. She’s been walking my dog for a few days now and my dog is rather reactive and she is like a dog whisperer. He loves her and she knows how to keep him calm and I’m just very impressed with her intuitive sense of how to be with a rather fussy dog. I would recommend her to anybody. She is punctual and she is kind and she is professional and she is very capable.
Steph’s been helping with my cat George and guinea pig Ricky ever since I moved to the uws 3 years ago. She’s always on time and provides the best photo updates. Also very patient as George can be feisty sometimes. Can’t recommend Steph enough!!!
I can't recommend Steph enough! Steph has been walking and pet sitting my dogs for the past year. She has proven to be reliable and communicative. I always get updates, pictures, and notes about how they're doing, which I really appreciate. I know she has a lot of experience with reactive dogs and is very good at reading their body language and acting accordingly. I absolutely trust Steph to handle any dog, as my own dogs have grown to love and trust her as well.
Highly recommend Steph! I’ve trusted her walking my dog for years. I know she not only cares deeply about my dog, but also is very aware of dog behavior. My dog has some reactivity and she is well equipped to manage all situations. There’s no one I trust more to take great care of my dog!
Steph is amazing with my dog Rory, and Rory is always so happy to see her 🐺❤️ She’s great at handling my dog when she gets wild on her leash (aka somersaults when she gets excited), which has been challenging for other dog walkers since my dog is strong. Steph has done drop-in visits before as well and is very respectful of my home. I’ve recommended her to many other pet owners in the park. She’s my go-to dog walker!

Schedule
I have 2 dogs who are walked 2-3x a day but my dogs are extremely flexible for when they go out (they prefer later) so I am able to work around your schedule!
