Walking, Bordering/Sitting Training

Pet care experience

I have been a dog owner for most of my life. I enjoy the company of dogs, taking dogs for walks and teaching them using positive training methods. Your dog will receive great care and at least three walks per day. We also have a fenced which will serve your dog in those emergency situations. I often volunteer my time at the local Animal Welfare League where I walk dogs that are up for adoption. I'd love to meet your dog.

Steve is great! Very flexible and trustworthy and always sends me updates and photos. Our Frank loves taking walks with him and it is a comfort to know we can count someone who cares about him.

Steve was wonderful. It was stressful leaving our pets for a week. But Steve really put my worries to rest. His updates were great and I could tell the animals were in good hands. He really went above and beyond! I highly recommend him to anybody.

I really appreciated Stephen's updates about our Frank and the photos he sent! He did more than just let Frank out to use the bathroom- he bonded with him! It means a lot to have someone who really cares about our dog for when we are not around.

Stephen took great care of our yellow lab, Karma! He sent us many pictures of her having fun during her stay with him. I feel like she almost had a better vacation than we did. Pickup and dropoff were a snap, as Stephen made himself available to accomodate our hectic schedules. Thanks so much, Stephen!

Information Stephen K. would like to know about your pet

I have been a dog lover all of my life. I have fond memories of the the dogs I've owned and trained. I believe in giving dogs the proper amount of daily exercise which includes a minimum of three walks per day. I believe that a well exercised dog is a happy dog. Our home also has a fenced backyard with trees and bushes; dogs love it. Your dog will stay in our family room which overlooks the backyard.

A typical day

Dogs will receive three walks per day. Also I will work on training your dog. Training includes the basics plus proper walking on leash; reduce pulling and walking ahead of the walker. I believe that a well exercised dog is a happy dog. Therefore your dog will receive a minimum of three walks per day. Also your dog will be allowed access to our fenced backyard for those emergency potty breaks. Your dog will be happy in our home.
