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.

So appreciative of Stephen and his incredible care of our pets. This was his first time taking care of our dogs, including feeding them, and they are in great shape. Thanks so much!

As always Stephen was wonderful! We are so lucky to have him to watch after our Ginny when we go away!

Steve was once again a wonderful sitter with Lynn. He sent lots of pictures and Lynn looked like she was having so much fun. He even bought her a Frisbee which is now her favorite toy!
