A middle-aged dog-loving boy.

Pet care experience

Rescue Dad. Foster Dad. A grown-up in a teenager's business. Big and athletic enough to handle the large pups, and gentle and caring enough to handle the old-timers. I've worked with rescues handling the worst abuse and fight cases, so I guarantee I can easily manage caring for any family pet. My earliest animal-care work dates back to the 80's, when I was full-time care-giver for 9 dogs, 7 cats, and 3 horses, all for one employer! Here in the Atlanta area, I helped run adoption events for FCAS, finding homes for 100's of dogs. In my own house, we've fostered over 20 dogs in the past 3 years, saving them from over-crowded shelters, and helping them find new lives. I know animals. I especially know dogs. And I love them.

Stephen is caring and nurturing with my dogs. He is a loving caretaker to dogs of all ages and sizes. He is a compassionate volunteer, foster and owner. I trust my dogs and home with him completely.

We never have to worry about our pets when Stephen is watching them. We trust him to give them their walks, food and lots of love.

"Responsible and loving dog caregiver" describes Stephen perfectly. His calm and even-keeled demeanor is just what you want around dogs. His intuition with dogs is pretty amazing. He's able to connect with them and anticipate their needs. Stephen always has the dog's best interest in mind. He has taken great care of our pug/chihuahua mix, Lucky, even when we've needed to be out of town for an extended period of time. He's great with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I highly recommend him.
