Pet care experience

Trustworthy, experienced dog person

Hi! My name is Steve I’ve owned dogs my whole life and absolutely adore them. My current best friend is a adopted lab-mix named Dory. She gets along great with all dogs. I’ve also owned Westies and a Sheltie for a combined experience of about 25 years of caring for dogs. I have a fenced in yard and provide potty breaks every two hours. I can administer any medication your dog needs. I’m sure your dog would love to join us. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!

Stephen was great! He took wonderful care of our dog for the week we were on vacation. I would definitely hire him again.

I highly recommend Stephen as a dog sitter on Rover.com. He is very responsible and loves dogs. He is very attentive to caring for dogs to be sure they are healthy and happy. He has taken care of our dogs in the past with the utmost care. He will put on their winter jackets when it is cold outside so they are warm while they go for a walk or just to 'do their business'. He feeds our dogs on time and measures out the exact food they need. He is truly a great caregiver for dogs.

Stephen helped raise both our Sheltie & our Westie. He is very patient with animals. He is very disciplined in helping train dogs to the owners needs. Steve is very reliable and can always be counted on. He loves animals. If an animal has an issue, Stephen is good at researching the issue. Steve would be an excellent choice to watch your companion.
