Professional Dog Trainer & Lover
I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a kid. I have been around dogs from the day I was born and trained my first working dog for the sportsman show when I was 10 years old. As I got older I took a special interest in training dogs with behavioural issues. I currently have two rescue dogs which I saved from the Dominican Republic both of which were high risk cases. I have worked with all breeds from Pomeranians to Great Danes and everything in between. I also have 8 years of equine experience so no dog is too much for me to handle. If you choose to hire me to help assist you with your dog(s) needs here is what you can expect from my service: - Outstanding, professional, compassionate care for your dog(s) - Flexible services that can be adjusted to cater to your dog(s) needs (medications administration, grooming, socialization, specified feeding schedules, etc.) - Walks 15, 30 and 45 min options, extended 1hr - 2hr walks are also available - Doggie Day Adventures incase you want to switch up your dog(s) routine (beach trips, trail hiking, runs, bike rides, doggie spa day, etc.) - Socialization (I have two great dogs with completely different personalities to help socialize your dog(s) no matter the issue) - 24/7 House sitting (I will come to you and take care of you dog(s) in the comfort of their own home) - Training (any issues you would like to work on, or general training) Working with animals, dogs in particular has always been a passion of mine. So whatever you and your dog(s) needs may be and you don’t see them addressed above please feel free to ask, I'm confident I can help you out. NOTE: ALL Bully Breeds Accepted!

Ratings and reviews
Stephanie was prompt in her follow ups and showing up on time. Stephanie is knowledgable about dog behaviour and experienced with looking after dogs. We had complete peace of mind that our puppy was left in hood hands.
We recently adopted a puppy from the Dominican republic and when we asked Stephanie to foster her until we were able to come to Ontario, she went above and beyond our expectations in that week period. She went out of her way to buy the appropriate necessary care items for our puppy including food, toys, and even recognized the puppy had a urinary tract infection and took actions to ensure the puppies comfort and safety. We were very pleased with her commitment and knowledge in caring for our new family member and would trust her to do it again in a heartbeat. I have known Stephanie for a few years now and I'm always impressed by her hardworking nature and her love for animals. If you are looking for a responsible, knowledgable and caring individual to care for your fur babies, Stephanie is your girl!
Very professional and came for a meet and greet too.
Steph has a love for dogs and it shows in her job. She is a very responsible, reliable and a very caring dog walker and sitter. Our Vizla gets so excited every time Stephanie walks through the door. That’s a great testiment to the relationship she has with our family pet, Copper. Stephanie takes pride and joy in her work and treats Copper as if he were her own. She also has a great amount of knowledge in dog training skills which has been helpful in solving some of our behavioural issues. I would highly recommend Stephanie’s dog walking services. You won’t be disappointed.

Stephanie has a special bond with animals. I had the pleasure of having her work me at our horse boarding facility. In that time, not only did she bond with my horses, but my dog as well. When she would come to work, she was often accompanied by her dog Baxter. He is the sweetest, most well trained dog I’ve had the pleasure of knowing. All the boarders at my facility adored him. Several of them even thought of kidnapping him to join their family ;) Your dog couldn’t be in better hands. Stephanie is patient, knowledgeable and fair. Most of all, she loves dogs whole heartedly.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, dogs have a safe and secure environment with plenty of space to roam and relax. They’re welcome to join my two friendly dogs for playtime or enjoy quiet time if they prefer their own space. We have beautiful off-leash trails nearby for daily walks and exercise, and I always follow your feeding, medication, and bedtime routines to keep things consistent. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their environment and follow all instructions closely — ensuring they feel comfortable, cared for, and safe in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pets.
Pets
A typical day
Your dog(s) can expect regular trail hikes if there are trails near by or leisurely strolls through the neighbourhood. They can have play dates with my two dogs or be completely solo. You let me know what your dog(s) likes and we will do it! Running? No problem, I need to stay in shape anyway. Fetch? I have to work on my overhand throw so that's perfect. Indoor cuddle session? I'm a hugger, hope that is okay! Wants to just be fed and left alone? I hear you! Every dog is different and I am going to rely on you to tell me what they love to do, or what you would like me to do with them. If your dog(s) hates walking but needs to loose some weight, sorry buddy but we have to go on some walks but we can lie on the couch together right after I promise.
