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.

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs, and have recently cared for 2 Labs (Mom Sandy, and Son Diablo). Both my Labs are gone now, and would love to spend time and play with your dogs. I miss my best friends!

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.
