Steph brings joy, agility (literally), and a whole lot of dog love to every visit. With 15 years of experience in dog sports — including international competitions and agility championships — she knows her way around pups of all personalities. But despite her pro-level skills, Steph’s favorite thing is simple: hanging out with dogs and making their walks the best part of their day.

She’s Pet Care Certified and Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and brings an intuitive approach to every pet she meets. Whether she’s avoiding distractions on a sniffy neighborhood stroll or adapting her style to a dog’s energy level, Steph is all about creating positive, low-stress, tail-wagging experiences. She’s also the queen of finding joy in any weather — rain or shine, she’s out there, making sure pets get the enrichment and connection they need.

Steph’s journey started with a dare — someone once said she and her dog weren’t cut out for agility. She signed up for a lesson the next day. The result? An American Agility Champion, a World Team placement, and a lifetime of passion for canine connection.

Her philosophy is simple: when animals are happy and healthy, everyone wins. And bonus? All those joyful walks keep her happy and healthy, too. (She jokes she’s on track to adopt 57 dogs by the time she’s 45 — and honestly, we wouldn’t be surprised.)
