Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Steve. When I was in high school, I ran a pet sitting business in my neighborhood because my parents wouldn’t allow me to get my own dog. They said my dad was allergic which I learned was a complete lie at age 26! My first two pet sitting clients were a pair of Shelties. I'm constantly begging my friends to watch their pups when they travel because I adore spending time with them. I attend the dog show in Philly every year just to see all of the beautiful breeds parading around. I live in the Callowhill neighborhood which is a short walk to the Art Museum and Kelly Drive and just across the street from the new Rail Park. I live alone and will be the sole care provider for your pet. I am self-employed, so I have a supremely flexible schedule. Dogs love my loft-style apartment because of the open space, sunshine, and big windows so they can see what's going on outside. My special skills include belly rubs and deep, one-sided conversations. Additionally, I'm great at communicating and sharing experiences from our time together with my human clients. When I’m not pet sitting, I enjoy traveling, camping, hiking, woodworking, and photography.
Reviews
Steve was super responsive, reliable and took great care of our pup Clementine while we were out of town!
Steve Boyle is one of the most careful and dependable people I've ever met. I've known him to be smart and caring with dogs, and have seen him trusted to watch multiple friends dogs for extended periods of time. Steve has treated those dogs as if they were his own, opening his house to them and showing them the care and attention they needed while their humans were away.
Steve has been a longtime friend of mine and like a second father to my mastiff/lab mix, Max. He always gives up his seat to Max on the couch or in the car. Max is the most important thing in my life and I've never hesitated to leave him in Steve's care for a few hours or an entire weekend!
Steve has been able to watch my toy poodle whenever I need him to on multiple last-minute occasions! He even took her to the groomer for me when I wasn't able to make the appointment because of work. Steve is exceptionally trust worthy, and I have no hesitations about him coming into my apartment to pick up my pup for her outings. 10/10 would recommend for dog sitting!!

Information Steve B. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know about your pup’s personality and temperament. It would also be helpful to know about their feeding schedule and exercise requirements.
A typical day
When I look after your pet, we’ll spend the whole day together. We’ll have breakfast at my house and then go for a 45-minute walk to my studio. At my studio, your pooch can play, nap, and run around the long hallways. I'll make sure your dog gets frequent potty breaks, and if they’re good, they’ll get a treat. My schedule is extremely flexible and forever changing, but if I've committed to watching your pet, they will get all my attention, all day long! I'm always trying to get outside and explore new areas of the city. I love visiting all the little parks throughout the area, especially the dog parks! I can also promise unlimited purified drinking water for your fur baby during our time together.
