COVID SAFE animal lover available

Pet care experience

I am covid safe and cautious, currently a grad student where I get tested twice a week. I take every precaution to keep myself safe and those around me as well. I will do the same for your dog, your family, and your home. Let me help care for your dog safely. I have lived with and cared for many different types of animals all of my life. From the cats and guinea pigs of my youth, to the dogs and small farm animals of my adulthood. I love them all. I’ve had a few of my own dogs, as well as cared for friends dogs. My first dog was one I was given for 6 months while in college. My neighbor had an unusual experience arise and needed someone to take her older dog for that time. So I took Duke in and have wanted dogs in my life ever since! From my dog Chia in undergraduate school, to my chihuahua Rosa who passed away last year, I plan to always have a dog in my life. I am currently in graduate school for acupuncture and very much miss my animals. So this will be mutually beneficial, as I need animals in my life and would be happy to care for yours.

Stephen is extremely gentle, kind, and caring, and will pay the utmost attention to your pet's needs when you are away, just as you would. He has years of experience with dogs and cats, and animals of all types! If he was still in Vermont, we would continue to ask him to care for all of our pets.

Stephen is caring, charismatic, and genuine. There’s no better person to watch your pooch! As a pet owner, Stephen is familiar with all the myriad tasks involved with caring for a dog. Whether walking or just snuggling and giving some love, Stephen is your man. There’s no one out there better to take care of your little loved one while you’re away!

Stephen is wonderful! You and your dog will love him. He is trustworthy, friendly, and very reliable. He really has a magic touch with animals! I cannot recommend him highly enough... definitely my first choice if I need a dog sitter, and I am extremely picky when it comes to who I let in my house to take care of my pup.
