About Stephanie

I’ve been having a blast hanging with dogs on Pawshake for years now! I was teaching full-time, but I have now decided to dedicate the near future to dog-sitting. I love animals of all shapes and sizes, and have decided to focus on caring for dogs. Watching your pup is not work for me, and leaves me smiling!

I grew up with cats and many dogs, but don’t have my pets here in Australia. I truly enjoy working with many types of dogs - all sizes, personalities, backgrounds, and breeds. I’m a sucker for the large enthusiastic dogs, and I am tall and experienced enough to control them on walks. I also adore smaller dogs!

I do my best at any troubleshooting needed: I’ve worked with and socialized reactive animals, medicated animals, and reinforced training as needed. I’m happy to do some basic training, and I am educating myself on how to teach better recall, fetch and leash walking, among other important dog behaviours. I am not a rigorous and highly strict person who runs training courses, but have a lot of experience with living with and caring for animals. I can usually implement effective and practical solutions to the problems I encounter.

I have a biology degree and continue to educate myself on the common health and behaviour problems I encounter. I love to have a back and forth of information, gaining and sharing experience.

I have extensive experience providing all the services offered here on Pawshake, aside from grooming and injections. I greatly look forward to caring for your beloved pets!
