Pet care experience

Family-level pet care and love

I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have a kindred connection with both of them. I’m usually the one who the pets will keep coming back to or try to sit on my lap when I go over to someone’s house. I definitely treat them like family and enjoy engaging with them based on their personality.

I have a fenced in backyard and pay special attention to every animal’s unique needs. I’m happy to follow whatever schedule or protocol works best for your pet. I want them to feel comfortable and at ease when you are away.

Stephen was amazing! He was attentive, great communication the entire time and very thoughtful with updates and photos. My cat, Cam was comfortable and seemed to grow more fond of him by the day :) Thank you so much!

Stephen was great dropping in and taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. The cats warmed up to him pretty quickly. He stayed the full thirty minutes and played with them and showed them attention. At the end of each visit, he sent several pictures of the cats eating and playing.

I’ve known Stephen for about 15 years now. We originally met through work, but over the years that professional connection turned into a close personal friendship. He’s someone I trust, both with my family and my pets. Stephen has watched my kids as well as my animals on multiple occasions, and I’ve always had total peace of mind knowing they were in his care. He’s patient, responsible, and genuinely attentive.

As long as I've known him, Stephen has loved animals! His caring and empathetic personality make him a natural to care for your furry friends. He's taken care of our pets several different times and always does an outstanding job! Stephen is highly recommended.

Stephen really loves dogs. He loves our current little Shi Tzu, holding her on her back and rubbing her belly. We have had many dogs, Basset, Dachshund, Shi-poos, terrier, etc. He was very affectionate to them all, playing with fetch and frolicking with them. He would be a great asset to your company. Stephen is my son so I have seen all of this first hand.

I have experience taking care of all kinds of animals, including puppies/kittens, elderly dogs, or dogs with special needs. One of my dogs about 10 or 15 years ago had epilepsy and so I had to periodically administer her medication to stop seizures.
