Information Stephen S. would like to know about your pet

What information is important to know about a dog ahead of time? Any troubles being around other dogs or aggressive behaviors. Habits that your dog might have such as during eating, sleeping, or morning routines.

A typical day

With the large space in the back dogs have all the freedom to run, chase, and play. With smaller groups is where I like to take them to the waterfront to see if they like to try and swim or just play around the water.

Pet care experience

I am currently Medically Retired from the Air Force so I have a lot of free time being at home available to dog sit making sure they are safe and comfortable. I have a big size backyard that's fully fenced in as well as a lake behind the fence that gives dogs water to play in during the hot months. Out front goes straight into a sidewalk which is perfect for walks going around the neighborhood. In the past I have had dog overnight stays from PAWS, short time fosters, dog parties as well as watching other friends dogs while they were on vacation. There was never no less than 6 dogs in my house at a time growing up so I got very familiar with training habits and the lifestyle of dogs around each other. I have been a dog dad for 7 years now to "Sky". My German Shepherd I rescued and went straight into training to now her being a sweetheart to be around along with other dogs being around her as well. If you have any questions please ask. Thanks for viewing my profile to be considered to watch your doggo for you.

I had an incredible experience with Stephen. From the very first contact, he was professional and quick to respond to my messages. While caring for my dog, he sent me daily updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. My dog was clean, well-fed, and very happy when I returned. I highly recommend his services—Stephen is trustworthy and truly treats pets as if they were his own.

What a wonderful experience with Stephen. He let me over so he could meet the dogs and I could meet him. My dogs are by furry family members and I worry about them. My dogs had a great time and we happy when I picked them up. Will be using his services much more in the future.

Stephen did an amazing job watching our two big boys! I could tell they had a blast and appreciated the daily updates with pictures! We will definitely be using him again in future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
