Information Stephen R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know general behavior of your dog. While I will always allow your dog the appropriate time to get to know myself, I want to know if I should pay extra attention to certain tendencies. If there are any environments or circumstances that make your dog uncomfortable please let me know. I want to make sure your dog is as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

We will go on walks in the Wicker Park area. It is lovely neighborhood with dog loving families and neighbors. Your dog can look forward to running into local dogs and getting to enjoy the beautiful walks in this neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I am currently the owner of a goldendoodle named Koa . I have had dogs my entire life from Golden Retrievers to Cavapoos. I love spending time outside with my dog and can provide the appropriate attention your dog deserves. I am available most days of the week as I am a consultant who works from home. I am very patient and loving towards animals. In addition, I am also very close to local dog parks and if you'd like, i'd love to take your dog there to be able to socialize with other dogs. Thank you for your consideration!

Stephen did great with my dog Banjo for the weekend! Banjo loved getting to play with his dog and had so much fun

Stephen was awesome! Duncan loved staying there and he came home happy and tired! We will definitely be using Stephen as our regular sitter and I can't recommend him enough!

I’m so glad I found Stephen to watch Eddie during a last minute work trip. He was very accommodating and communicative throughout the entire process. His roommates and his sweet dog Mara also helped keep Eddie company during his stay. Eddie clearly had a great time at Stephen’s house and playing in his large yard! I will definitely use Stephen again for my dog boarding needs!

My dog, Lola, had the pleasure of staying at Stephen’s house for a long weekend. Stephen went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable taking care of our fur baby! He is responsible, organized, and quickly responds to texts. We will definitely be using Stephen’s services again in the future!
