About Me
I live in Christchurch with my Bichon cross Pomeranian Lulu and Ginger tom Tubby. I’ve always been a big animal lover my whole life and owned a variety of pets such as small animals, horses, cats and dogs for over 20 years. I studied animal management at Sparsholt college and have volunteered with several businesses such as Dudmoor farm, Cats Protection and Best Friends vets since the age of 12. Throughout the years I’ve done some pet sitting, pet boarding and dog walking for friends and family and have always enjoyed doing so. I’ve been working in retail for several years and finally decided to make a career out of my love for animals.
I understand as much as everyone loves their pets, they don’t always have time to look after them all day everyday so that’s where I come in. I’m offering home dog boarding, dog day care, dog walking and pet visits.
Boarding and Day Care
Whether you’re out for work for the day, going for a day trip or away on holiday, I’m here to offer the company, love and attention that your pet needs. I have a spacious house with a sizeable fenced in garden surrounded by tonnes of fun walks for your dogs to enjoy. As well as tonnes of toys and enrichment games to keep them happy and occupied while you’re away.
I offer a free meet and greet at my house for new clients so you can see the space and let your dog get comfortable being here and we can discuss your dogs needs and requirements. They’ll get 2 walks a day of at least 30 minutes each and I can provide any meals and snack times that they may have at home. You’ll also receive plenty of updates and photos to be sure they're having a great time.
Dog Walking and Pet Visits
I can give your dog a long walk through scenic routes, a short walk around the neighbourhood, a trip to the park to play fetch or anything in between. I’m more than happy to cater every walk to each individual dog. If your pet just needs one looking after or company in the house though I’m here to help with cleaning, feeding, playing and company.
You can be assured that any pet in my company is well looked after as if they were my own. So I’m ready to be a friend for your furry companion now.

Testimonials
A prolonged first season for my 10 month old golden retreiver and a wedding for my brother in law called for emergency help in the form of steph! She came to visit us a week before and stayed and got to know us for about an hour. She then arrived promptly at the arranged time and gave updates during the day with photos. I feel so reassured that I found steph and will definitely be using her in the future.
Steph was very friendly and put us all at ease and our cat took to her immediately. She kept us up to date with what our cat was up to during our trip and sent photos. Well recommended!
Steph was everything we could wish for - reliable, trustworthy, brilliant communication and our dog loved her! We felt so happy knowing he was in such great hands and she was careful to mind him with the hot weather, sending us regular updates on how fun their day was.
Stephanie is wonderful, trustworthy and commincation has always been great. But most importantly my doggo daisy is happy in stephanie’s care, thank you!
Stephanie was amazing with the dogs while we were on holiday and both dogs were very happy in her care.
