I do this for the dogs.
Pet care experience
I have raised and trained large dogs for my entire life but work with all sizes of dogs. I will take the time to get to know your preferences for your dog and your dogs personality. I understand the importance of developing a positive relationship with the family and dog while learning to satisfy the needs of the owner and dog. I am able to walk and hike with your dogs, driving to a special spot is totally acceptable. I have over 8 years experience with "special needs" dogs, disabled, special diet, medications, administering subcutaneous fluids/ medications, or other health needs. I look forward to working with your dog and giving them a fun and peaceful interaction with myself and the world. References furnished upon request
Reviews
Stephanie was great with our dog and sent lots of videos and photos showing how much our dog loves her. Would 100% rebook and recommend Stephanie!
Stephanie was absolutely fantastic. To say she went above and beyond the call of duty would be a total understatement. We have a very challenging pup that decided to make Stephanie’s visits extra difficult. However, Stephanie didn’t even flinch. She was super reliable and sensitive to our pup’s needs. Her walk reports were thorough and she always reached out immediately if there were any questions or concerns. Our dog may actually be disappointed when she sees we’re back in town! We definitely plan to use her services again, and we would recommend her with the highest possible regards for anyone else in need.
Stephanie was terrific with my two dogs! Our meet and greet was super thorough and she asked lots of questions about the dogs and their behavior. Even though one dog was a little skittish of her, Stephanie dealt with it really well and I could tell she’d handle them great in my absence. She took them on varied walks and left detailed reports on their excursions. I felt 100% comfortable with Stephanie’s care and highly recommend her.
Our dog -and I- were so happy with Stephanie!! She was so caring and attentive to our Sammy (70 pd mutt, 7 years old.) I have no complaints, and she exceeded expectations with her thorough reports and cute videos sent to me. I contacted her because our usual dog walker was away for several weeks and Stephanie was reliable and great. I'll definitely contact her in the future.

Information Stephanie C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to meet the dog and see how the pup does on a walk with his parents first. After that I'd like walk with the pup a few times to establish an independent relationship with the dog. For safety reasons I DO NOT take clients to dog parks or walk them off-leash.
A typical day
hikes at Briones Regional Park, the beach, Lake Temescal, and San Pablo Reservoir, Sibley Regional Park, or wherever the owner prefers.
