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.

Took great care of our dog when we went out of state. Took her on walks and sent us lots of pictures. Highly Recommend!

I highly recommend Stephen! He was easy to work with, responsive and caring towards our pup Ginny while we were away. We got regular updates including pictures and videos. He was also flexible with drop off and pick up times which helped reduce the overall stress of traveling. We look forward to having Ginny visit him again soon!
