Highlights
Pet care experience
A loving home away from home!
I work from home, so if your dog has a history of separation anxiety like my pupper does, then you can rest assured that your dog won't have to be alone for even one second. Enjoy your vacation, work conference, or family function guilt free, knowing that your little one is being treated with all the care and comfort that you would be giving them yourself. I live on a medium-sized property with a fenced in yard, so your dog will have room to run around and roll in the grass, or have some alone time if they need it. When playtime is over, they'll be welcomed into the home and can settle down on the couch for an evening of play and TV time. Your dog will be fed, watered, and played with every day while staying with me; and most importantly, they'll be thoroughly nurtured with love and companionship!

Ratings and reviews
Stephen took great care of freyja and sent pupdates with pictures multiple times a day. We plan on using him again for when we travel and maybe even doggy daycare while we’re at work. She came home tired from playing with other dogs. We’re super happy with the experience. 😊
Stephen has cared for our two dogs many times while we’ve been out of town, and we always feel so at ease knowing they are with him! They are always so happy to see him, and we love getting picture updates of them while we are away. He is super responsive and flexible—we recently reached out late in the evening in desperate need of a last minute sitter for our dogs for the next day and he immediately responded saying he could help. We could not recommend him enough!
Thank you!
I lfet my dog for 2 weeks vacation. Everything seemed good on the meet and greet BUT on 3rd day of his stay I get message from hospital saying my dog has his eyes out of the socket. He got his eye surgery done and we don't know if his eyes are gonna be ok or we might have to remove them. I know accident happens but to this degree?? And the sitter doesn't even know how it happened. He left my dog with another outside and came to realize my dog is hurt. No explanation on what happened. I do accept he took my dog to emergency but i can't accept the fact thay the person whom we trusted to look after our dog doesn't have any idea on how he got injured to the degree tha he is gonna lose his eye.
Jasper always has such a great time.

Schedule
Caring for dogs is just something I'm always doing. It's not something I "set aside time to do". When I wake up in the morning, they're the first thing I take care of. Before bed at night, they're the last. I put in every effort to make sure that they're my top priority. A happy dog is an easy dog.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in yard, and I make sure that dogs get as much outdoor time as humanly possible. Especially in the summer! Whether your dog is into playing fetch or just lazing around getting their butt scratched, I'm always there for them
Pets
A typical day
Tug-of-War Fetch Naps on the couch and belly rubs. Treats and bones. Car Rides - Only if you are comfortable with it and the dog does not get car sick.
