Highlights
Pet care experience
Devoted caretaker/nurse/dog owner
Your boy/girl is probably not going to like that you are going away, but I know how to minimize their discomfort. I am a friendly young man, very well versed in animal behavior with plenty of time and energy to devote to keeping your dog happy. I have 1 medium sized dog. My pet is treated like family and I appreciate their company very much. I will appreciate your dog’s company as well. I work 1 block from home. Your dog can hang in the house, in their crate or in a partitioned room I have lots of options for all sorts of temperaments and training. I walk my dog when I wake up, then sometimes a short walk after work. Dogs are welcome to roam the house (1500sq ft). When outside I have a tightly fenced in yard, attached is a newly constructed 2 car garage (empty) with concrete floors perfect for cooling off on hot days. Water is always plentiful and refreshed often whether inside or outside. I am available around the clock, and am never far from home. I rarely go out and when at work I use a webcam to watch the dogs.

Ratings and reviews
Stephen was super flexible for a last-minute boarding. He was kind, respectful and his dog Roscoe was his perfect sidekick for a playtime day for my dogs. Thanks Stephen. We will need you again in the future.
Provided great care and lots of updates
Awesome
Had to go out of town for a day and leave our newer German Shepherd pup. Stephen did a great job with her was super responsive with messages and updated pictures. Hoping she can come back again one day!
Stephen is a very friendly young man who truly loves dogs. Our dog is very spoiled and we were comfortable leaving her on short notice after a brief meet and greet with him. He was concerned about her health and she had a great time playing with his dog. Would use Stephen again if necessary.
Stephen was great!! He was okay with a meet and greet prior to scheduled daycare to ensure my dog would be comfortable in a new environment. My dog was tired after a fun day at Stephen’s. Communication was prompt and professional. Will definitely use again and highly recommend!

Schedule
Animals are visited every 3 hours on days that I work. I always send photos when the dogs go walking as proof of service; I also send photos periodically as most owners enjoy this.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Fenced in yard, plenty of room; I have 3 XL animal crates for visitor’s use if preferred. I also have AirTags which I put on my guests during their stay for added safety.

A typical day
Long walk in the morning with my dog. I have never had a problem managing multiple dogs on a walk. I am 1 block away from a very large field attached to the VA medical center’s vast campus which includes a 2 mile long sidewalk. Perfect place for long walks or retrieving/playing.
