A tired dog is a HAPPY DOG!
Pet care experience
I have loved dogs and cats my whole life and I currently have 2 pups of my own, a very active 2-year-old and a 7-year-old, and they truly hold my heart! My promise is that I will give your fur babes lots of affection and attention. We will go on long walks and dog parks and I will engagingly play with them, and be sure to give them love and lots of pets! Being a dog mom and previously a cat mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone trusting and loving who will care for them when you are away and who will come as close to how you love your pets! I have walked pups for others for many years now, and I love getting to know a new fur friend and developing awesome relationships with them. I do have experience working with some behavior issues, as well as puppies, and have lovingly given them some training and I have worked with the owners as well.
Reviews
Honey had a great time with Stephanie during her walks and off leash zoomies. I appreciated all of the videos and pictures while I was away. I would def recommend Stephanie as a dog walker and any other services she offers. Will def book again!
Stephanie E. has been watching my recently rescued dog Max for a few months, and it worked out very well. She has pets of her own, so she really understands animals. She is super loving and a very responsible dog caregiver. I recommend her highly!
Stephanie has been an amazing addition to our family- she takes care of our 5 month puppy and 4 year old dog like they are her own. They both love her, and she has consistently supported the puppy's training. She house-sat for us for 10 days, and took great care of the house as well as our chihuahua. Thank you so much, Stephanie!
Stephanie is great and we feel extremely lucky to have found her! She consistently goes above and beyond what a "typical" dog walker/sitter is expected to do. We've entrusted her with our dogs for multiple days at a time when out of town and also continue to do so daily for a midday walk. She is able to masterfully care for Ron (a chihuahua) and Russell our boisterous puppy (a cattle dog mix), and has built a strong and caring relationship with both. It was apparent from day 1 that our dogs weren't just another job for her, but that she genuinely loves animals and wants to get to know them. I continue to appreciate her communicativeness and attentiveness to our pups' needs, as well as her extensive experience and knowledge around all things doggy related. We highly recommend her services!

Information Stephanie E. would like to know about your pet
Are there any health issues? Special bathroom needs? Preferences on where to be touched, some dogs have sensitivities to ears, etc. Does your pup need leash or voice command training? How is your dog with other dogs?
A typical day
One of my favorite parks is the Ohlone Park in Oakland and the little dog park in Alameda, where the pups can go off leash, as it is enclosed. I bring balls and the chuck it and there is a ton of fun to be had. With dogs that I know very well and have voice command with, we love to visit Pt. Isabel Dog Park for longer walks off leash. Another wonderful walk is around Lake Merritt and Snow Park - here we stay on leash! All the pups I care for get loads of activity, love, praise for positive behavior, occasional treats, and lots of PETS!

I currently work part-time and from home, so I have much time to spend with your fur baby. This allows for regular pee breaks - and plenty of time for walking!
