Pet care experience
Let’s get your boy or girl up and moving. I am an active young man, I understand the importance of keeping pets (especially dogs) well exercised and stimulated. I have 2 medium sized dogs who I walk often. My pets are 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 two dogs 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 summer days. Water is always plentiful and refreshed often whether inside or outside. I am also available around the clock, and am never far from home. I rarely go out but at night I use a webcam to watch the dogs if I’m out.
Reviews
I highly recommend Stephen. This was our first time using Rover & it was a great experience. He sent photos & video of our dog during her stay. We will definitely use him again.
Fantastic!
Stephen is a great communicator. He is responsive and reliable. My border collie got exercised each day (lots of fetch!) and her and my chihuahua seemed pretty content when we picked them up. I recommend Stephen as a caring and attentive dog sitter. We’d come back!
Stephen sent videos and updates on Peaches. She was very well taken care of. Would recommend him and will use him again.

Safety, trust & environment
Fenced in yard, home with plenty of room, rooms can be partitioned for separating different dogs. I currently have 3 large animal crates for visitor’s use. I also have extra AirTags which I put on my guests during their stay for added safety.

Information Stephen M. would like to know about your pet
Good to know how your animal acts around other dogs. Also good to know their potty and feeding schedule. Anything to help keep them on their familiar schedule.
A typical day
Long walk in the morning with my two boys. I have never had a problem managing multiple dogs in 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.
