Training, Walking, or Running Buddy
Pet care experience
I’ve worked with dogs professionally for over 15 years. I started with walking, then managing a dog daycare/hotel, then working for a local rescue, and finally becoming a trainer. I absolutely love dogs and helping them become the happiest pups they can be. I love the seniors as well! I have a huge toolbox of games and puzzles that dogs of any age will love!
Reviews
Stephanie is super sweet and my 2 big dogs absolutely loved her. She gave me regular updates and was easily reachable when I had questions or just wanted to check in.
one more review and kudos to Stephanie, as she promptly accepted to take care of George extending his stay after our flight was several hours delayed.
Stephanie is great and I surely recommend her. She took fantastic care of George and was extremely responsive to our needs, sending daily updates and pictures!
Stephanie is so great! She loves to be outdoors, so she will make sure your dog gets exercise and plenty of play time! She has a dog that lives with her parents down in Thousand Oaks, so when she needs to get her fix of animal love, she will come over and play with my cats. She will always make sure to put your pet first, and give them the same amount of love and attention that you would!

I've had several rescue dogs I've loved and cared for and would love nothing more than to care for your dog(s), as I care for my own. Walking, hiking, playing, bathing, administering medication, and providing lots of belly rubs and care!
Information Stephanie L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special preferences or needs! I like to know how far the dog usually likes to walk, if they get along with other dogs or people, or if there are any leash issues you’d like me to work on with them. Their walks are one of the most exciting parts of their day and I want to make sure to keep it that way!!
A typical day
I love walking, hiking and playing games with the pups I watch. Tug of war, fetch, and enrichment games are some of my favorites, and I also like to provide training and light grooming whenever possible! Also, belly rubs, lots and lots of belly rubs!

I am extremely interested in learning how to extend the lifespan of dogs. I am part of an international dog community, pet minded, where we meet with canine cognition scientists, trainers, nutritionists, vets, and other dog professionals from all over the world to learn how to best care for our dogs. I’m also currently studying dog behavior and training to better understand how dogs minds work. So when I say I’m passionate about dogs, I really really mean it! My ultimate goal is to extend dogs lives by learning about their biology, psychology and sociology, so that I can give back to dogs what they give to us, without question, everyday: appreciation, care and love.
