Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Stephen, and I am an avid pet enthusiast with a lot of love to share with your furry friend. I recently moved to the Bay Area from Minneapolis and am working as a freelance musician and photographer which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule to spend time with your pets. I grew up around dogs, cats, fish, and other small creatures, and have been taking care of my friends' and family members' pets for many years. I also grew up training and showing a variety of dog breeds through the American Kennel Club (German Shepherds, Dalmatians, Weimaraners, Boston Terriers, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Border Collies and Chihuahuas) and have a decent working knowledge of animal behavior patterns and dog breeds. I love dogs of all sizes and varieties - in my eyes, there is no paw too big, or beating heart too small for love!

Stephen is a very responsible, mature person. He has done dog sitting for me and some yard work in the past. Animals love him, and his upbeat positive personality, I highly recommend Stephen for both dog walking and house sitting.

Stephen is amazing with animals, he is a dog whisper. Animals love him. Stephen is a very responsible and caring person. He takes the up most pride when caring for my pets. Stephen is the first I ask when I need a pet sitter. Conni S.

Stephen has been nothing shy of amazing with my dog Ms.Rigby. He treats her exactly how I treat her and shows her unconditional love when caring for her. I highly recommend Stephen. I would never want anyone but Stephen to care for her.
