Availability

Pet care fits well into my routine thanks to my generally flexible schedule. I’m able to make time during the day for walks, feedings, and check-ins as needed. I live in downtown Philadelphia, which allows me to get around quickly and be dependable for nearby clients. While my career occasionally requires me to be away for a few weeks at a time, when I’m in the area I’m frequently available and committed to providing consistent, attentive care.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the space and the pet with the utmost respect. I care for a client’s home as if it were my own, being mindful, clean, and responsible at all times. When caring for pets, I prioritize kindness, patience, and respect for their boundaries, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

A lifetime with Dogs

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them at every stage, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I’ve volunteered at dog shelters, which has given me experience with a wide variety of breeds, temperaments, and care needs.

We absolutely loved Stephen. My entire household was happy and comfortable with him within hours. He took my dog on great adventures, left my home clean, and gave every animal individual attention.
