Pet care experience
Growing up with miniature schnauzers, from puppyhood to old age, in sickness and in health, I learned to care for the various personalities and needs of our dogs. My enthusiastic and gentle temperament also reads well with dogs; knowing that a dog's behaviour is often shaped by the temperament of those caring for it, yelling and hitting are never part of my vocabulary. I do hold dogs accountable for their behaviour, however (some need only a wee guilt trip, some will need a more serious consequence), so you can trust that your training won't be thrown out the window. I am also an active person who loves playing dog games (i.e. fetch, frisbee), walking and biking--as well as simply cuddling on a couch--and so I'm able to cater to the dog's level of activity, as fast or slow as is needed. I look forward to hanging out with your pup!
Reviews
Stephanie is reliable, responsible, and a great communicator. Cinnamon was always super excited to see her for dog sitting. I had no worries leaving our pup in her care.
We have a 35 acre farm in Kentucky. After Stephanie had spent some time volunteering at the farm, we asked her to farmsit for us while were away on a ten day vacation, primarily to give our three large dogs the attention they are accustomed to receiving – walk them, talk to them, and generally focus attention on them. As always, Stephanie’s personality and loving attention were exactly what we were looking for. We returned to happy, contented dogs. We’re certain that you will find Stephanie a bright, cheerful, loving and caring person who will care for the dogs of others as she would her own.
