I LOVE every dog I meet!

Pet care experience

I can't express to you just how much I love dogs. It doesn't matter if they're big, small, nervous, or outgoing, they deserve the best of our love and care. I have lots of experience caring for pets, but dogs are my favorite. My dream is to train service dogs one day as a full-time job. I'd love to meet your dog and give him or her the attention all dogs deserve. I am available from 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. weekdays, and all weekend (including overnight on Friday and Saturday). In special cases, I may take on requests for overnight stays on the weekdays. I live in an apartment and can realistically host one dog at a time, or two if the dogs are acquainted with each other and they aren't too big. Growing up, my family had a shih-tzu, Oliver, but sadly he passed more than 10 years ago. He was such a sweetheart. He was very nervous around other dogs, so I learned to respect that and never put him in situations that would cause distress. I miss him.

Stephen took great care of Tig! He walked him, cuddled with him, and sent me a picture of him cuddled up on his couch. I will definitely contact Stephen again next time I need a dog sitter.

Steve reacted well in an emergency situation and took great care of my puppy! His puppy proofed place was a welcome relief. Hope to book again in the future ?

Stephen is an excellent dog sitter! He is caring and fun and will make your dog feel loved and special. Whether it’s playing, or long dog walks, your dog will feel happy being around Stephen. My dog Reese loves him!

Steve's my brother. I've known him his entire life. This dude loves dogs. You know how women get baby fever? Steve is like that with doggies. I kinda am too, but with Steve I sometimes doubt my depth of love of dogs. And that goes for all types of dogs. Little ones, big ones. Old dogs, puppies. Doesn't matter. If you put a pair of fake dog ears on a goldfish, Steve would want to pet your goldfish. We had a dog growing up. He was a Shih-Tzu named Oliver. He passed in 2005. We still talk about Oliver all the time. The only reason Steve doesn't have a dog of his own is because he would have to leave for work for long hours everyday and leave a poor little doggie in an apartment alone all day. Steve would never do that because he loves ALL dogs. Maybe if you're reading this and you're worried about your doggie being lonely all day while you're at work, this guy Steve? He's the guy. But don't take my word for it. I'm sure your dog will love him. Now, as for cats...

Information Stephen B. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if the dog has any special requirements (such as medicine) and how the dog might behave around other dogs and people (especially children). Also, I'd love to know if the dog has any likes or dislikes, like a favorite toy or any idiosyncrasies unique to that dog.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to parks, going on walks, and even on trips in the car (only if it's OK with the owner). I also give dogs a lot of attention.
