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 ❤️

Stephen watched our dog for a long weekend. He enjoyed his time there so much & we are so thankful for treating our boy just like their own. Our dog was happy, healthy, & well loved during our time away.

I am so happy we found Stephen to take care of our dog Luna during our long overseas trip this summer. Everything was smooth and Stephen treated her like she was his own beloved dog.

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.
