Information Stephen B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pup has any special medical needs, daily routines, or details that need attention. Let's make sure they are happy, healthy, and comfortable.

A typical day

During walks, I'll make sure your pup/s gets plenty of exercise, do their business, and get all their energy worked out. When boarding or house sitting, we'll do lots of fetch, walks, and pets.

Stephen provided expert care to my German shepherd dog while I was traveling, I was so grateful for the detailed updates and dedicated efforts to ensure she was getting all her needs met in my absence. I had no concerns and complete trust in her care with Stephen. I will definitely seek his service in the future!

Steve has walked and dog sat my pup Boba when I have to be away for work for most of his life (he’s 12). My dog is really shy and doesn’t like too many humans, but Steve is great with him and one of the few people I would trust to take care of Boba. Highly recommend his services!

My dog absolutely loves Steve. When I bring him over, Jacques (my dog) must search the whole house until he finds Steve. I would highly recommend Steve for any pet care.

Steve loves animals and is so good with all of our pets. He’s responsible, communicative, and treats every pet like it’s his own. I’d trust him with any of our animals without hesitation.
