Information Stephen S. would like to know about your pet

How are they on and off leash? How are they with other dogs (on and off leash)? Do they have any personality quirks? Do they have any health issues or alergies I should be aware of? What makes them most happy?

A typical day

I know a great variety of dog friendly trails that your pet will love exploring, while you head off on your own adventure. The adventures can be large or small to meet the needs of your dog. We can take your dog to the lake, saunter through old growth forest, or climb a mountain.

Dog lover seeking dogs to love

Pet care experience

I grew up with a mini schnauzer but I currently don’t have dog of my own. This allows me to dedicate 100% of my effort to meeting the needs / wishes of your pup. I completed dog first aid in 2024. My rates are slightly negotiable to Tofino locals / regulars

Stephen was awesome with our Bowie and we would totally love for him to hang out with our boy again on our next trip to Tofino. Thanks so much for your help Stephen!

Winston our 3 year old pup warmed up to Steve immediately. I would definitely have him dog sit again.

Communicative, flexible, and kind! We needed a safe place for Mae to stay while we went on a tour and Stephen was perfect. When we picked her up, he even pointed out her ear infection to make sure we knew, which we appreciated as it showed how much he paid attention and cares. Thank you, Stephen!
