Our Molly is a rescue and this was our first time leaving her so we were a bit nervous. After our meet and greet we decided to give Stephen a chance. We were not disappointed. Molly was not only watched but treated like a part of the family. We also received regular pictures and updates showing Molly relaxing and having fun. We are so grateful for the care she was given and plan to have Stephen as our regular sitter.

Stephen was wonderful, very caring, and patient with my pet! She’s a greyhound with lots of anxiety, but he was patient with her whining. Pictures came daily and he’s very responsive over text anytime you want to check in, I’ll be coming to him again if I get the chance! Also his little boy is great with dogs, and super adorable!

Stephen is not the warmest guy in the world on first meet, but Benny had a great time with them. He took tons of pics (most really well done, almost professional-looking) and kept us up to date, and Benny seemed safe, healthy, and happy the whole time. If anything, I think he may have been disappointed to come home! Will definitely book again.
