Steve was great! He showed up early and was super attentive to all my instructions for Nopalito. We will definitely book him again!

Steve has been taking care of dogs in our family for many years, we love him! He’s very calm and gentle with our dogs, we have two mini dachshunds that he is great with. He spends time outside with them, running them around and playing games and seems to genuinely enjoy it. He makes sure they’ve done their business before bringing them back in. We have a ring camera, so we can see that he arrives on time and spends adequate time with them before leaving. We highly recommend him to friends and family.

Stephen is such a trustworthy pet sitter. He genuinely cares for animals and treats them as if they were his own. He is so dependable, always on time, and follows instructions carefully always making sure they feel comfortable . Personally my dogs naturally warmed up to him because of his energetic, welcoming demeanor, and he always takes the time to give them attention and love. With Stephen, you can feel confident knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

Stephan and my 4 year old lab, Mochi, are basically best buds!! Stephan has cared for Mochi plenty of times, as for I travel a lot due to work & live pretty far from family. He is very punctual, careful & loving. He never misses a beat when it comes to the care of my pupper! Mochi always look forward to seeing Stephen!
