Pet care experience

Dog and animal lover in woodland area

Hi, I’m Steve. I was born in London and my background was IT and business. I am now 57 and have the free time to care for your fur baby. Whilst you enjoy your work day or travel with peace of mind, I can provide your pet/s with loving, individualised care and attention. I have always loved animals, and have had pets ever since I was a child. I have plenty of experience to give your pets the individual care they need. I am based in Willenhall next to a huge woodland area and canal side walk. I have a rescue French bulldog called Bear. I rescued her 5 years ago. She is now 8.5 years old and very sweet with other dogs. I am open to any individual requirements you have. My services include dog walking, dog sitting, cat sitting, reptile care, dog hiking (60 / 90mins), bird sitting, rabbit sitting and fish feeding. If you have a pet “farm” animal, I’m open to help too.

Great communication and photos throughout the stay. Used the collection and drop off service, which was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Great in every way, my dog returned happy and healthy. Considering it was her first time away from home over night ; she seemed cheerful and was back to her playful self after a good nights sleep.

Excellent!!! My dogs went from being scared to be left to not wanting to come home. Stephen was absolutely lovely with them, took them on 2 walk, gave me regular updates with photos and the babies looked super content and relaxed. I will definitely book him again

Steve has taken care of my dogs several times and they adore him. He is attentive to the dogs’ individual needs, and also genuinely enjoys playing with them and taking them on very long walks! The dogs always have a lot of fun with him and get very excited when they see him. Steve is a big animal lover and is easy going, allowing the dogs to chill on sofa and bed.

Stephen is an animal lover, and has looked after my dog on many occasions in recent years. He brought peace of mind to me when my beloved pet was in his care. My dog was happy to return to Stephen during following visits which reassured me that great care was taken of her.

A typical day

I lrespond to the needs of the animals in my care. Each dog has a different idea of a fun day. Some love attention constantly! While some love to walk. Some love to chill in a warm space alone. I have a big.box of toys that some dogs love to play with. So each dog will get the stimulation they need.
