Dog lover with fenced yard and ?

Pet care experience

I really enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs it's hard to find a dog I don't like so what I think you'd like most is that it as long as I'm enjoying it I'm pretty sure your dogs will enjoy it too, and I'm a very responsible pet owner myself. I've had dogs in my life since as far back as I can remember, when I was a child my father trained a German Shepherd mix how to count he could count up to 10 however many fingers you held up he would bark that many times. in my younger teens I had a paper route and my dog as a child learned my whole paper route and would follow me to do the Sunday paper. My current dog is a boxer mix and I trained him to work as a service animal just last year although he's no longer on duty he's one of the best dogs I've ever known. In addition to providing Services on rover I have spent a volunteer for the Marion County Dog Shelter for the last year mainly as a foster adoption ambassador.

I was very worried about leaving my two dogs with anyone. It didn’t take me long at all to relax about my boys being with Stephen. Stephen communicated regularly and sent lots of photos and videos. I could tell that my dogs were being very well cared for AND that they were enjoying being with Stephen and his dogs. I will definitely use Stephen in the future and I think that my dogs will enjoy going back to see him!

Stephen was friendly and a good communicator. He sent lots of videos and pictures of my dog, Hero. Hero can be shy and Bark a lot but Stephen did a great job and Hero was healthy and happy when I picked him up. Stephen even gave me a framed picture of Hero.

Information Stephen S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know whether or not a dog is a alpha male and whether or not they are neutered, if they sleep in a kennel I like to know that and can you bring it, knowing how much they eat and how often.

A typical day

A lot of times it depends on the dog different personalities some dogs like to fetch some dogs like water some dogs like chewing up toys Some dogs are satisfied with a nice long walk and then there's dogs that don't really want to do anything just be loved.
