Pet care experience
Schedule your dogs vacation with me, while you're on vacation! My name is Stephen, I am a mid-30s, avid hiker, biker and snowboarding! I currently live in Bend with my partner and 3 year old black lab, Bachelor and our cat, Lil Cat. I have been caring for animals since I was young. I grew up in a household with at least 2 dogs and 2 cats at all times, so learned the best ways to care for them at a young age! I frequently pet sit for my friends and family in town. I have a flexible work schedule, and always prioritize daily hikes and our animals needs! My dog is HIGH energy, so my usual schedule involves a trip to good dog and a hike a day, plus a few more walks and trips the park. My dog is friendly and good with other dogs. We frequently have other dog house guest. In my free time, I love, hiking, snowboarding swimming and biking.
Reviews
I love having Stephen watch over my dog, Carrot. Carrot has stayed with Stephen and his dog Bachelor twice now and it has been great both times. When I get Carrot back he is quite tired from all the activity he is given which is fantastic. They often meet up with other dogs and have long pack walks which is something Carrot loves to do.
Stephen & Jess were the BEST! We left our 13-year old lab with them for a week while we went to a wedding. Senior dogs need extra care and attention and they went above and beyond in making Bella feel right at home. Their communication with us was great and we appreciated all they did to allow us to have a worry-free trip. I’d highly recommend them both! They also have a great dog Bachelor who is a sweetheart. If activity is what your dog needs, they definitely offer that too as they get out a lot with him.
Stephen and his girlfriend did a great job watching our 1.5yo golden retriever. She is very high energy and we are always nervous to leave her but Stephen reassured us he was happy to take her. They went on long walks and to the dog park every day. She had so much fun playing with their sweet lab. We loved getting photos and updates from them. I would definitely have her stay with them again!
Stephen is the best dog sitter ever! He is present, conscientious, playful, and clearly an animal person. I have had wonderful experiences leaving our dog with him and I know she is in good hands! She is an old lady and usually has separation anxiety, but not with Stephen…. He made her feel comfortable and at home. She loves Stephen’s dog Bachelor, too!
