Your pup will have a blast!
Pet care experience
Hey there, I'm Steffy. I have been around animals my entire life. I have 3 pups of my own and a rabbit but would love to have more! I have experience in dog training, my special interests with this are working with newly adopted dogs whether it be a puppy, adult or a senior dog who needs some help transitioning into their new lives. When it comes to puppy visits I love taking the time to teach them their manners so when they grow up they will be perfect puppies - please ask me about this if you are interested! I offer drop in visits for those that are puppies and dogs that are more laid back that just want to hang out on the sofa and get some snuggles and belly rubs. For those active fur babies of yours, I offer dog walking too! A meet and greet is always appreciated to make sure that I am a good choice for your pet and as well that your pet(s) like me. This also gives you a chance to ask all the questions you would like. Generally, my meet and greets are for 30 minutes but if you require longer for special pups please just ask me. * With my school schedule -- it is mainly in the evening BUT there are times where I might have something during the day, I will do my best to let you know in advance if this is the case* I’m currently working part time 2 days during the week ( Monday & Friday ) and weekends. If I have a Friday off I’m happy to accommodate some visits in my day! In your home I’ll make sure your pup is safe at all times whether that be checking water or food as well as they are secured where they properly belong.
Reviews
Great to communicate with, both beforehand as well as when she is with our dog.
Stephanie was very flexible and kept us informed throughout the day! Very grateful and will definitely be using her again.
Stephanie was able to help out at the last minute, and did great with our sometimes difficult dog!
I’ve used Stephanie a couple times with my anxious, sometimes reactive dog, and she’s been great with my whacky girl. I’ll definitely be using her again!

Information Stephanie C. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any specific preferences for breeds. I want to know more about your pup, this information could include how they react on walks especially to people, other dogs or if they are afraid of thunder or lightning... or just simply don't like to be out in the rain! If you have a puppy – I'd love for you to share if you have started any training with them.. this will help me out with your pup and help them keep on top of their learning of commands. If your pup is just a dog who likes to lounge around.. I'm happy to provide many belly rubs and lots of snuggles to those pups who enjoy a little TLC. If you have a nervous pup, please let me know! I have my own nervous pup so I hope to be able to accommodate your pup in anyway that's helpful to them and make our visit go smooth!
A typical day
I will go on walks anywhere except for areas that are heavily wooded. For drop in visits ; I will be more than happy to play outside with your pup (fenced in backyard off leash, or if you don't have a fenced yard with a long leash/run for safety.) If the pup just needs a short walk around the block, I'm happy to provide that and then hang out with them inside (If they like to just hang out and be pet, let me know! If they enjoy belly rubs, let me know also!)
