“Steffany has been walking our puppy for about a month now and she is fantastic! Her photos/walk report cards are the best :) I feel safe working with Steffany, especially having a puppy! You never know what they will put ya through lol. Steffany will definitely help make sure your pet is getting enough exercise (especially if you have long work days) and it is a huge stress relief. Nairobi absolutely loves her walks with Steffany and we can’t wait to continue using her services.”

About: I’m an animal lover who truly enjoys spending time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I have experience caring for dogs of my friends and family, including feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care routines. I’m patient, attentive to instructions, and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs. I currently own a cat, so I understand the responsibility that comes with daily pet care, routines, and building trust with animals. I’m always happy to follow specific instructions and provide updates so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I enjoy making time to give animals attention, play, and care. I’m reliable with schedules, flexible when possible, and committed to meeting each pet’s daily needs, including feeding, litter care, walks, and quality companionship. I currently work part-time but have the semester off with school, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and following instructions exactly as given. I’m respectful in clients homes and attentive to pets behavior and comfort. I also provide updates so owners feel confident and informed.

Anastasia (Kristi) was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to help tire our pup out with some exercise, and did some bonus training and cuddles. Our lab mix Kadee Buggins really soaked it up and we can’t wait to book her again! Very kind. Very professional. Extremely fast response rate and excellent communication with the visit. I felt so at ease and knew my dog was in great hands with Kristi.
