Organized Dog Lover

Pet care experience

From the day I was born, dogs have been significant members of my family. I have had three Vizlas (my last unfortunately passed away in 2019) which I bathed, walked/ran with, took to the veterinarian, fed, and groomed growing up. My neighbors and family friends have also relied on me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their dogs. In addition, I am also an active volunteer for a local NOVA pet adoption organization working as a handler at adoption events to find homes for dogs in need. My schedule is flexible even during weekdays as I work from home and have a large amount of autonomy. Pet care is a priority which my day works around. I treat all pets as I would hope for mine to be treated - with a tremendous amount of care and respect. I work with owners to ensure that all of their expectations are met and that their pets feel comfortable and happy.

Stephen was reliable, attentive, and patient with our dogs on the three days he walked them. Excellent communicator.

Reliable, problem-solver, and good communicator. Stephen was a huge help for dogwatching/housesitting our sick dog. Highly recommend. Thank you, Stephen.

Information Stephen S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, toys, or habits that I can account for. I have experience with high-energy as well as calm dogs. In addition, please let me know if there is any important medical or dietary information that I would need to know.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks (long and short) and exploring close parks to help them get exercise and get out energy. We'll also spend time together playing games or even just relaxing.
