Stephen was great! He was very communicative and did well with my three pups. He handled my seniors well who are not the easiest. He had to administer several medications and manage their finicky appetites.

Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Dependable and easy to communicate with. My dog seemed very content when I arrived home after a long weekend away, and my place was spotless.

Stephen did a wonderful job taking care of my two active corgis. Our house was spotless when we returned. I highly recommend him.

Stephen was very professional and thoughtful when meeting my dog for the first time. He updated me on the walk. He’s a great choice for a dog walker.

Funny coincidence, I actually went to school with Steve years ago — great to reconnect here and even better to see how dedicated he is to caring for my Standard Poddle! Steve is punctual, reliable, and trustworthy. Definitely recommend Steve.

Stephen was great. Ontime, curious and responsible. My dog Scout seemed happy and well cared for, and Stephen kept the home looking very nice. I’ll definitely work with him again if he’s available.

It’s helpful to know about any special needs, health issues, medications, or mobility concerns. I’d also like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, favorite toys, and any behaviors or triggers to watch for. This way, I can keep their environment safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
