We are blessed to have Stephen! He and his wife always take great care of our dog Luna. Do not hesitate to contact him if you need to keep your beloved doggy safe and happy while you are traveling.

Stephen took a very good care of Watson. He walked him, played with him, he really loved him, and we can say that Watson loved him too. He felt there like home. We are very thankful for such a wonderful time Watson had while we were on vacation , and we received pictures and videos every day.

Stephen and Karen took wonderful care of our Australian shepherd Mila, for 4 days and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From regular updates and photos to the genuine love and attention they gave her, it was clear that Mila was in the best hands. Knowing she was safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away gave us complete peace of mind. Thank you for treating Mila like your own beloved dog, we will definitely be booking with you again! ❤️

We had a wonderful experience during a test day. Our dog Mila is very afraid of thunderstorms, so Stephen and Karen were incredibly patient and accommodating when the storm started. It meant a lot to us knowing she was in such a kind and thoughtful hands. We truly appreciate the extra attention and would absolutely trust them with Mila again ❤️

Schedule

My wife and I are both retired, so we have very flexible schedules. Although we do travel, we keep our booking calendar up-to-date. We enjoy walking every day, so would love to have some company.

Safety, trust & environment

Our house in on 2 1/2 acres, so there is plenty of space to play fetch with your dog. We are within close proximity to the Katy Nature Boardwalk, and can walk to this area on the green space behind our home without walking on the street. And, if your dog loves the water like our Labs did, we have a pool for them to swim in during the summer heat or after a long walk to the Boardwalk.

A typical day

I enjoy walking dogs to the Katy Boardwalk which I can access from the green space behind my home without having to go on the street. I also enjoy playing fetch with the tennis ball in the yard and/or in the pool if they like to swim. I also just love to pet and brush dogs, and even wrestle with larger dogs if they like that.
