Trustworthy, experienced dog person

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Steve and I love dogs. I started as a sitter on Rover to earn extra money while I’m in grad school. I’ve owned dogs my whole life and absolutely adore them. My current best friend is a adopted lab-mix named Dory. I’ve also owned Westies and a Sheltie for a combined experience of about 25 years of caring for dogs. I have a yard and a very nice park 1 block away. I provide potty breaks every two hours as well as administer any medication your dog needs. Dog walking is great exercise for me and my dog. 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.
