Pet care experience
After a youth spent with dogs, I started walking dogs professionally about 10 years ago and the rest is history. Since then, I've spent years caring for dogs all over the Upper West Side and bolstering my hands on experience with courses and good ole' book learning. In 2015 I LLC-ed and started Westside Doggies and have enjoyed the thrills of taking my career to the next level. •Certified in Pet First Aid and CPR by the American Red Cross •Board Member on the 105th Street Dog Run Board in Riverside Park •Owner at Westside Doggies, LLC •Has Successfully Completed Training Courses by Karen Pryor Academy and Dr. Ian Dunbar Dog care is my full-time job. It's my career, and my passion. I'm committed to improving my knowledge and service every day. There's nothing I love more than making dogs feel loved, and I'd love to meet your dog!
Reviews
Stephen was extremely thoughtful, professional and kind with his efforts and attentiveness to our 4 pound chihuahua. We were somewhat concerned with having anyone check-in or walk our lil man because he sometimes gets defensive and afraid, however, Stephen exceeded our expectations and we recommend him wholeheartedly. We couldn't be happier or more satisfied - thank you!
Stephen is a great dog sitter. He was on time and extremely professional. He took the time to learn about all of Chauncey's special needs and preferences. While I was away, he kept me up to date and sent photos. Chauncey came home happy and healthy.
Stephen was great! Alfie is my pride and joy & had a home away from home =) Stephen treated him wonderfully, giving him all the love he expects and showed him an all around great time. We are Very Happy! Thank You !
Stephen is awesome, reliable and very knowledgeable about dogs. He gives them plenty of physical and mental exercise to keep them happy and in tune with him so they have a great time and learn some things as well ! I will definitely book again ! Me and my pup are very happy with the experience!!

Information Stephen I. would like to know about your pet
Before a stay it's important for me to know whether we can meet other dogs on our walks, whether your dog has special needs, or any other considerations I should be mindful of. During our stay, feel free to keep me posted with updates or questions. I want to make sure your dog has an amazing time while you're away. Beyond that, all breeds are welcome!
A typical day
I love bonding with the dogs in my care - laying on the floor and being cozy together are common sights on my house sits. Trips to the dogrun are also a blast. Included with your house sit are 3 walks and the best care and loving attention your dog could ask for!
