About a year ago, my fiancée and I worked with Lindsay to help socialize our brand new puppy and ensure that we were as trained as she needed to be. Lindsay did such an amazing job working with us - now, about a year later, our puppy is Belle of the Ball every where we go. She is well behaved and not afraid of anything the city can throw at her. Would highly recommend working with Lindsay!

We would absolutely recommend Stefania and Happy Dog to any of our fellow dog-owning friends AND WE HAVE! Stefania is kind, efficient, flexible and THE BEST dog trainer/walker we have had for our reactive pup, Taco. He absolutely adores her. She has been walking Taco for more than a year now and she has helped us learn more about Taco and help him grow more comfortable out in this scary world. We love Stefania and consider her family!

We are so grateful to Happy Dog Walking SF! Stefania has been walking our dog for 2 years now and we can't say enough good things about her. She is super reliable, very responsive and extremely knowledgeable about dogs. We know our pup is in good hands with her and he always gets plenty of exercise. She has also watched him for us while we were out of town for the weekend and having someone he knows and is comfortable with made a big difference. She treats him like her own and clearly cares for the animals in her charge. Many thanks and much love for Happy Dog SF

Stefania is amazing! 5 stars! She is very professional, caring, punctual and reliable. I trust her to watch the pup while traveling because I know that my pup is well taken of.

Let me start off quick, then add detail for anyone who wants more information.I can say first hand Lindsay is an amazing trainer and my dog has become even more perfect because of her. If you want a quick answer, then YES, Lindsay is an unbelievable talent. She has helped with leash training, commands, and so so much more.If you are looking for someone who is a dog whisperer, that comes from a place of love, and understands common sense, Lindsay is it. She listens to what you want, and then helps you achieve it.I did my research (quite a bit), met with other trainers, but my gut told me she was the one. My puppy instantly had a trust in her that made me feel secure. Our first meeting, talking about what I hoped for, I knew she understood how I live with animals. Unlike any other entity I spoke to, I received a wealth of information and a personalized plan of the work ahead after our first meeting. It was like someone gave me a handbook to help with this whole new way of life. I went with my gut, fortunately Lindsay was available, and our family could not be happier with the entire experience.We have made such amazing progress and I have witnessed unbelievable growth in my puppy that I can directly connect to Lindsay’s training. From loose leash work that has made my life so much easier, to the commands that I struggled teaching that she has trained him with ease (and he has retained with me). She brings an educated knowledge base mixed with an innate talent for training dogs. She is also patient and answers my 20 million questions.I truly want to convey that our experience with Lindsay has made a genuine difference. Our whole family is thankful and grateful we made this choice, and so fortunate we found someone this talented.

Without a doubt the best dog walker we have found in SF!!! Loves our dog and much as we do and Dexter loves her too. We are grateful that we found her. Stefania is the sweetest person, is well educated, keeps up to date with dog behavioral patterns and provides an extremely professional service. I would not look any further. If you want to call me for a verbal testimonial please reach out here or email

Happy Dog and Stefania are the best walkers we've ever had! Efficient, consistent, always shows up, has never cancelled, on the rare occasion she's running behind she tells us right away and our pup Dexter LOVES her! Stefania sends a video and photo during every single walk. She always willing and ready to answer any training or behavioral questions we have about our pup. We are very fortunate to have found Happy Dog and Stefania and cannot recommended her enough!! Simply the best!

Stefania was our Dogwalker and dog sitter for 3.5 years. We had a great experience with her - she was communicative, flexible, and most importantly took care of our dog on a daily basis and sometimes for a week or two when we were out of town. If she noticed something off about our dog she made sure to tell us and she always sent daily picture and video updates. If there was a schedule change or something of the sort, she gave us ample heads up. We had a comfortable and reliable experience.

We had a great experience with Lindsay at Good Dog Happy Dog! Her attention to detail, care, and patience helped my husband and I better take care of our 3-year old rescue, Morty. She listened to our needs (leash reactivity, recall, etc) and helped us feel more comfortable as new dog parents.Our daily walks with Morty are now much more stress free and more fun for Morty! There is still work to be done, but after 2 weeks with Lindsay, we feel confident in our approach and Morty's improved temperament.If you're looking for a dog trainer, we highly recommend Lindsay. :)

Lindsay is an amazing trainer. She trains people how to work with dogs, not just dogs to work with people.You can expect a very kind and gentle trainer. She will be honest with you about your efforts in an attempt to help your pup. This will help you grow too. She was incredible with our covid puppy, Blueberry. He is a big German Shepherd mix who is very reactive from the SFSPCA.She has taught us how to loose leash walk him, off leash walk him, introduce him to other dogs and understand his thought processes. Lindsay was an expert in our dogs social cues within just a week of walking with him on the weekdays. Not to mention Blueberry loved Lindsay. They became best friends after a few of their hour long walks.I highly recommend Good Dog Happy Dog LLC if you want a kind, intelligent and thoughtful dog trainer at a personalized level. Lindsay is excellent at what she does. Do not miss out if you have a reactive cute covid puppy in need of additional training! It will help you too!

Stefania is so attentive and loving for our pup, he always gets so excited when she comes to the door for his walks. In addition to walks she does pet sitting when we go for long weekends, and it's wonderful knowing that our little guy is in safe hands.

There is no one, absolutely no one, that my partner and I trust more with our dog Mr. Business than Stefania. She's been walking and dog sitting Busy since he was a pup and we've never had any issues or problems with her service. In fact, Stefania has come to our assistance time and time again for last minute trips, emergency meetings, and even holiday overnight dog sitting. As long as we are San Francisco residents, Stefania will be Busy's dog walker/sitter - she's simply the best!

Stefania is fantastic - she has been walking our dog, Franklin, for over a year now. Stefania sends wonderful videos every day of Franklin playing with other dogs, or exploring the woods of Buena Vista Park. What we appreciate most is that she has a deep, genuine concern for Franklin's well-being - both physically and emotionally. Stefania knows when Franklin is feeling a bit off and adjusts. Stefania loves seeing Franklin, and his mood always perks up when we tell him "Stefania is here!" Stefania has never, ever missed a day and has always been flexible with our schedule. All-in-all, Franklin is family to us (he is our first child :) and so is Stefania. She is wonderful and your dog will thank you!

Stefania is the absolute best. She has been our dog walker and dog sitter for a year. We have had a handful of dog walkers over the years and she absolutely is the most caring about our dog. Stefania is super trustworthy and I am very comfortable with her staying over when we are away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker or a dog sitter!
