Safety, trust & environment

I cannot accept pets in my apartment sadly, however, I can do just about anything instructed in your home! Crate/kennel, food/water, bathe, give company, anything! I like to make more pet buddies so I am happy to do anything asked :)

Information Stephen R. would like to know about your pet

Anything out of the norm! I’m open to just about anything, but it would be amazing to know ahead of time of any medications that I’d be giving, any triggers/anxiety points for the animal, anything that would help/hinder my ability to make your pet as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I love to stimulate them! Walk them around some new areas (if they’re explorative), take them to a nice park. I love to see a happy pet!

Pet care experience

Ive had pets of all kinds for my whole life. I have had lots of silly pets, but I have also had the usual dogs and cats too! I LOVE animals, and currently have three cats of my own! My schedule changes weekly, as I am a musician, but I am always flexible :)

This was our first time using Stephen but I couldn’t have been happier. Percy did great and I appreciated all the pictures of making sure things were done. I’ll be rebooking in the future for sure.
