Doggie Daycare exp. & love to play!
Pet care experience
I'm a responsible pet owner who has had professional experience in Doggie Daycares like City Bark Denver and Pete & Mac's. I've also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family members with elderly animals, young animals, special needs animals, and everything in between. I also have experience working with cats, for you canine lovers who also love felines. My availability is pretty flexible, though I'm usually available during the mornings and evenings during the week for walks, and would be with your dog during those time frames while overnight sitting. My availability during the weekends is wide open! I would love to hang out with your dogs on walks, at the park, in the backyard, or even on casual hikes (if thats something you're comfortable with!). I have excellent communication, time management, and scheduling skills as I have a background in customer service and project management. If you have specific instructions for feeding, or your dog is on a strict medication schedule I can make it happen. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to meeting your Doggo!
Reviews
Stephen is awesome! I contacted Stephen to take care of my dog because I knew he had experience and would provide the best care. I was hesitant to put her in doggy day care and found Stephen to be the absolute best option. He is professional, attentive and calm. My dog is anxious and he does so well with her. Stephen has many years of experience working with dogs through dog sitting, working at doggy day cares, and personal experience with his own! My girl looks forward to seeing him every day and I know she’s in good hands. I definitely recommend Stephen for all of your dogs needs!
I highly recommend Stephen for your dog sitting needs! Stephen is taking care of my 3-month old puppy and is doing absolutely fantastic. He is helping to potty and crate train her while I am at work. He takes my puppy to potty, takes her on walks and plays with her. He has been the biggest help and I seriously wouldn’t have been able to do it without him. He is prompt, professional, trustworthy and takes the best care of my little girl. I know I can whole heartedly trust him to be at my home and care for my puppy. He has been helping with training as well which has been an added bonus. I contacted Stephen because he genuinely loves to be around animals and knows a lot about them. He has experience watching people’s dogs while they are on vacation for extended periods of time. Also, he has experience with doggy day care. And has extensive personal experience taking care of his own dogs. When Stephen arrives at my home he lets me know that he is there and that everything is going ok. He gives me peace of mind knowing that he’s there. Stephen leaves notes on progress or suggestions on things that might work better for your pet. Stephen has helped my puppy settle into her new home and has made the transition easier than taking her to doggy day care. I highly recommend Stephen for all of your dog sitting needs!

Information Stephen S. would like to know about your pet
First and foremost I always try to have the dog's Veterinarian information and any emergency contact information as well, just in case. Now thats out of the way lets get to the other stuff. I'd like to know what your dog loves; like if there is a specific way your dog likes to be scratched or pet. I'd also like to know what triggers your dog. Does your dog have a problem with hats? Does your dog not like certain noises? That kind of information can really make or break a dogs experience with new people and in different spaces, not to mention my own experience with your dog. I have no breed restrictions! Bring all your working and bully breeds on!
A typical day
I love to get down on a dog's level and find that interacting with them in this way creates a stronger sense of trust. I love to take dogs to stimulating areas where there is a lot to smell, and a lot to look at, though I try not to walk where there is heavy traffic or lots of really loud noises. As previously stated I would love to take your dog for a hike or a trail run depending on your dog's fitness and capabilities. I'm also happy to take your dog for a car ride if that is a more their speed.
