Responsible, Careful and Loving!

Pet care experience

A work from home freelancer who loves dogs. I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old with no end in sight and I have a wealth of experience dealing with dogs of all ages and sizes. I currently own a 9 year old super sweet Boston Terrier named Bruno who is extremely friendly and loves other dogs. I have a fenced in dog friendly backyard and knowledge of all the best dog parks in Brooklyn. I love being outside in any weather and am quite partial to long walks. Please rest assured, I am a safe, responsible and fun loving dog owner and I absolutely love man’s best friend! I can also provide 1-2 hour check ins for anxious dog owners if needed!

I’ve not only seen Stephen take amazing care of his own dog but mine as well. I would leave her with him without a worry in the world, I know she would be taken care. My pup is a little lazy on walks and needs to be picked up about half way through or she’ll just sit on the sidewalk without moving, Stephen does it like it’s second nature to him, like if he’s been taking care of her from day one. He pets her the rest of the way home while she’s in his arms. She loves getting in an extra cuddle wherever she can and he doesn’t disappoint her. Lilly looks forward to seeing him almost as much as she does me.

One thing I love about Stephen is knowing that he always pays attention to little details. It was such a comfort knowing that Stephen went out of his way to get to know my little guy. My dog, Caesar instantly took a liking to Stephen the moment they meet each other. Stephen took the time to learn about Caesar's favorite treats and his normal routine around the neighborhood. He even sent me really great pictures of Caesar during their walk. They seem to always have a great time together, I love working with Stephen.

Stephen is a longtime dog owner himself and extremely responsible. He's been kind, attentive, knowledgable, and patient with his own dog and mine. I know he'll make a wonderful dog walker for Rover.

Information Stephen D. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preferences but I would like to know if a dog has any medical issues or trauma. Also is your dog an excessive barker or potty trained.

A typical day

I usually look for the best local dog parks or quiet streets with low foot traffic. I enjoy long walks, jogging, playing fetch, tug of war or just getting cozy and watching a movie. I have tons of dog toys as well.
