We always feel safe leaving Piper with Stephen for a long trip! She loves her visits there.

Ella was a first time boarder at Stephen's last weekend and had a great stay. He was excellent at creating a calm and welcoming environment for her, as well as accommodating the longer wooded walks that she was used to. Stephen was great at sending updates and pics to make us feel confident that Ella was safe and in good hands. I would recommend him highly and will use him again for our next time away.

I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience than what Stephen provided. My dog has separation anxiety and Stephen was able to calm him down and even slept in the living room with him to provide extra comfort. He sent me a ton of updates and pictures which eased my nerves about leaving my dog with someone outside of family and friends. I will definitely book with Stephen and his family whenever I need a sitter.

Schedule

I am a self-employed homebody who has an extremely flexible schedule and doesn't currently have pets in the home. This means that I can provide 24/7 care and 100% focus on your little friend full-time. More importantly, your pet will be more comfortable always having a human around. I've been called reliable, honest and punctual.

Safety, trust & environment

I take a more personalized approach and only serve one client at a time. This way I can provide the most efficient care based on their specific needs while also mitigating the risks of hosting multiple unfamiliar dogs at once. The three pillars of my pet care are safety, reliability, and comfort.

A typical day

For most dogs, it usually involves lots of hiking in the woods beside Lake Jackson. I provide up to 2 walks a day because a tired dog is a happy dog. My service also includes screenshots to show where we went and how far we walked. For lower energy or older pets, I operate more like an R&R resort.

Stephen can host up to 2 pets per night
My main goal is to provide the same routine and structure that is provided in your home environment. For new clients, I will always ask the following: ● Feeding schedule ● Potty schedule ● Crate routine ● Fears (storms, fireworks, vacuums, etc) ● Sleep schedule ● Quirks/bad habits ● Flight risk ● Ok with children and other dogs? ● Ok on couches and beds? ● Medical and veterinary info ● Emergency contact info ● Is this the pet's first boarding?

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
