"Stephanie [of] Sacred Paws was truly amazing at helping me connect with my best friend and soul mate, Moose, my yellow lab. Steph was so sweet and supportive. We communicated with Moose and [it] made me feel better knowing he was at peace".
Stacey Urbanoski

"Stephanie is so knowledgable in all things dog! She truly cares about the dogs she works with and really takes time to get to know them and personalize her recommendations to the specific dog. Stephanie works hard to correct the root cause of the issue instead of just recommending a quick fix. A true professional who goes above and beyond for her clients, both human and dog!"
Megan & Erl Brown
