Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring & Passionate Pet Sitter
My love and passion for pets started at childhood with family cats/dogs. Throughout much of my adult years, I have continued my affection for pets through ownership, pet sitting, and foster care. Whether its on a nice long walk with a canine companion, or being cozy in an oversized chair in the den, I always have your pet's comfort in mind.

Ratings and reviews
Steve was fantastic watching after our solo kitty while we were out of town. We had great piece of mind knowing he was checking in and caring for her. The regular updates were very appreciated!!
Stephen was great. Communicated well. Would definitely hire him again for my large dog.
We had a wonderful experience having Patriot stay with them while we were away. They took great care of him and made him feel like at home that I could tell in the pictures that he was comfortable and loved their attention. We look forward to having him stay again next month!
Oban seemed to enjoy her time with Stephen, lots of great photos and videos. Mystic will require more visits to make his decision. Ours is we will be booking Stephen again quite soon.
So happy to have found Stephen! We were very nervous to hire another sitter after a bad experience but he eased our worries with his friendliness, reliability, and commitment to our pets needs and schedules. Stephen sent photos and videos of every visit that we loved seeing and was great with Dallas and Tig while he was here!
Stephen was great with Duffy. It was obvious that he'd interacted with him extensively and had a great rapport with him in just one day. He was also very understanding when I couldn't get back until much later than scheduled

Schedule
As a recently retired teacher of 34 years, I now have a flexible schedule to devote to my love and passion of pets and their needs. I'm an early riser so early am drop offs/pick ups would be no problem.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Will accommodate your pet's needs whether at your home or mine. I believe in keeping their life routines as normal as possible while you are away. If boarding is needed, I presently have no pets of my own, so your cat/dogs are welcome to share our home for awhile (one family's pet(s) at a time). No fenced yard, but many nearby parks and trails to enjoy the outdoors!
A typical day
I am willing to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We can play a bunch of games on my acre lot, and check out new smells in the neighborhood and nearby parks/trails.
