Highlights
Pet care experience
Trained & experienced dog care
I'm Stephanie, and I live with my husband Kurtis. We absolutely adore animals, and are passionate about dog care and force-free training. I am currently getting my dog trainer qualification with IMDT, and care for a variety of breeds, from German Shepherds to Schnauzers. We've raised our three year old pug Henwyn from a puppy, attended regular training classes (puppy, foundation, reactivity) and have experience in boarding, walking and caring for dogs. I walk dogs weekly, have experience with reactivity, and take extra measures to ensure your dogs feel safe and happy in our home. Growing up with dogs ourselves, we've cared for a variety of breeds. We both work from home so your pet will always have company. We're just around the corner from Victoria Park, the Olympic Park and gorgeous canal walks, as well as some cracking dog shops.

Ratings and reviews
Stephanie is really great with Gertrud. Gertrud loves her walks with Stephanie. I really like that when it is very hot, Stephanie takes Gertrud out for a quick pee break and then plays with her inside to avoid overheating.
My dog, Frida, appears to have had a great first week walking with Stephanie and I could tell Frida really liked her from the start, which put me at ease. She asked good questions during our meeting, which made me feel confident that she was a responsible and reliable caretaker. She communicates well and I have really appreciated the walk reports. Looking forward to more walks!
Stephanie was lovely and really knows her stuff with dog-care. Rudy was comfortable with her from first meeting and she was very communicative when taking him on his walk. Will deffo be booking again!
Stephanie was great with Chai and ensured he was well looked after during her short visit. She communicated so well and asked all of the right questions when we met her for an intial meet and greet. We’ll definitely book Stephanie again!
We've used Stephanie a few times and she is knowledgeable about dogs, patient and flexible. We will be continuing to use her for the foreseeable!
Stephanie looked after our dog, Skye, for two and a half weeks, and we were so happy with how everything went. Before the booking, we met up a couple of times to make sure our dogs got along, which we really appreciated. While we were away, Stephanie sent us daily updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease. She was always easy to get hold of, quick to reply, and really professional throughout. It was clear Skye was well looked after and happy, and we’d have absolutely no hesitation booking with Stephanie again. We’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog.

I recently transitioned from the fashion industry to pursue my dream career in dog training. Currently enrolled in the IMDT course, I'm available for walks, pet-sitting, and boarding most weekdays and weekends.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet will never be left alone, and we only take on one pooch at a time so they have our full attention. If you have any questions or would like to arrange a meet and greet, just give us a shout. We can't wait to meet you!

A typical day
I've got a lot of fun sniffing games to play that help dogs to relax, from enrichment boxes and sliding puzzles to 'find it' games. I live near Victoria Park so there are some great walks full of smells and places to explore.
