Our Team

Years of dog walking on Sydney’s Lower North Shore has made our team familiar faces to locals, park regulars and pooches from Mosman to Manly, Crows Nest to Curl Curl and beyond.

Established in 2016, Stellar Paws was created with a vision to bring an extra level of care and professionalism to the largely unregulated dog walking industry.

Led by founder Beau, a qualified dog trainer and behaviourist, we are a small, dedicated team of dog handlers experienced in a wide range of canine behaviour and with a keen eye for safe play.

Our team members have been carefully selected for their enthusiasm and genuine love for animals.  We also undertake continued and extensive training to ensure your dog receives only the best of care.

With well over a decade of combined experience in the pet-care industry including animal behaviour, veterinary care, and pet first aid, our team are well-equipped to handle the diverse needs of your beloved pets.
