Caring & Passionate Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

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.

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

Return customer here - Stephen is the only dog sitter we would ever use for our pup. He is reliable, responsive, and sends tons of photos while your pup is in his care. Thank you for everything Stephen

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.
