About Steph

I've left my career as a stressed out consultant to care for your dogs in the sunshine!  And probably also in the rain :)

I'm based in Indro. Have car, will travel. I have tonnes of flexibility and availability to suit regular and ad-hoc clients, and their humans.  Very happy to take your puppers on all sorts of adventures, from neighbourhood walks so you can focus on what you need, to half day beach or bush trips for enrichment and energy depletion.  I can drop by and play, provide breaks, food or care and/or just check in to give you peace of mind.  If you've got an idea or request, let me know.

I have a good grasp on pet nutrition, basic first aid and dog training.  I'm diligent with your instructions and supporting your puppers' wellbeing and happiness.  I'll always check in with you if anything could be amiss, and also to get your feedback on how you and your doggos are feeling about me.  

My partner and I have two shibas, and are god parents to my brother's border collie and our best friends' water horse (huge Chesapeake Bay retriever) and angry cloud (tiny Japanese Spitz).  I grew up with German Shepherds, Kelpies and terriers.  I'm used to spending every day at Edinburgh Gardens with upwards of 20 dogs of all sorts roaming off leash while we humans chat and wander.  

I'll be sweet and patient with your timid rescue greyhound, silly and energetic with your lab and strong and calm with your Tibetan mastiff.  

Message me anytime, ask whatever you like and feel free to request a meet and greet so you can feel comfortable I'm right for you and your dog fam.

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English & Japanese
+20 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I'm new as a professional pet sitter, but not new to dogs in general, being 40 years old! I've been owning and training dogs since I was a kid, as well as caring for many friend and family pets. I've always wanted to do more but dog care is not on the approved list of Asian mom careers! I have knowledge of basic pet first aid, can administer oral medications and manage wound care. I can use positive reinforcement techniques and training, including clicker training, verbal command and hand signals, treat and toy rewards and fear-free familiarisation. I am comfortable with reactive dogs, large and small.
