Highlights
Pet care experience
Small and Large dog experienced
Hi, I'm Stephanie! :) I've fostered 10 dogs so far (GSD, huskies, pitties,..), I'm a dog-handler volunteer at North Central Animal Shelter, I've graduated K9 Youth Alliance enrichment training where we train dogs from the shelter. Dogs thrive when their needs are understood and met. I take safety very seriously, I approach dogs respecting their boundaries and I provide space for them to show their potential. I’m not a dog trainer—I just know how to provide mental enrichment that builds and strengthens a dog’s confidence and connection with their handler, which is just as important as physical exercise.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'm very responsible and take pride in delivering great work. I'm comfortable either following a client's instructions to the T or having them trust my judgment to provide the best possible care for their pet, giving them complete peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
I've known Stephanie for many years and we co-parent our beautiful toddler together. I've seen her complete several training courses at the animal shelter where she volunteers, handle a wide variety of dogs and foster dogs in her home while caring for our toddler. Knowing Stephanie personally, she is someone who is dedicated to developing her skills and is very safety-conscious, especially when it comes to our toddler's safety, her own and the dogs in her care. Stephanie has gained extensive canine knowledge and hands-on experience throughout this past years and I have no doubt that she is a responsible and skilled dog handler.
I've worked alongside Stephanie handling any number of dogs, and I am constantly impressed by her skills. She has worked her way through several dog-handling and training programs; she has extensive experience providing enrichment training, helping dogs build confidence, working on impulse control, and developing positive behaviors. On a personal level, she genuinely seems like she loves the dogs. Every one she works with gets her full attention and care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, knowledgable, and caring pet sitter. Plus you'll get amazing pictures and videos 🤣
I've known Stephanie for years, and she's been fostering rescued dogs for years. She's incredibly responsible, attentive, and she makes sure every dog under her care is properly cared for and their needs are met. Whether she's caring for her own foster dogs, volunteering at the animal shelter or looking after someone else's, she treats every animal like family. If you're looking for someone who will provide loving, reliable, and attentive care as a pet sitter, I can't recommend Stephanie highly enough. All pets under her care will be in wonderful hands.
