About Stephen S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will follow your instructions exactly as detailed as well as use my years of experience should something occur or I notice a need/potential issue. My goal is to make the visit as enriching for your pet as possible. I think they sense that on me as animals tend to gravitate toward me, even the most shy and skittish. We live a nice life but my dogs probably even better than I. I provide them with superior care and lots of love. Animals are very perceptive and so I work to extend that same level of connection to all animals I meet, which would include yours if you select me for your pet care needs. Thank you!

Pet Obsessed-Best Care & Camraderie
Pet care experience
I have decades of experience caring for pets, mostly my own. I grew up in a house full of dogs and have maintained that my whole life. Also had a great cat, hamsters and other pets. I believe animals deserve the best care possible as our “best friends” and beloved family members. I have extensive experience too in customer service and am highly solution-oriented. If you need me in a moments notice, always happy to do it if available. I have many years of experience also serving on boards at various animal shelters as well as volunteering to walk/care for dogs and cats and these locations. Even ran the NYC marathon as a top fundraiser for the ASCPA. My priorities in order are: god, pets, then people. Think I’ve got that in good order! 🥰

Reviews
Stephen was amazing! My dog has been skidding around new people but within 2 visits he totally warmed up to Stephen. He’s now acting more comfortable around new people! Extremely flexible as well
Stephen is an exceptional pet caretaker and an all-around wonderful human being. As a devoted dog dad, his love for animals shines through in everything he does. He’s incredibly responsible, attentive, and kind, always ensuring that pets feel safe, happy, and loved in his care. Stephen’s natural bond with animals is truly heartwarming, and I have no doubt he’ll treat every pet he sits for as if they were his own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for your furry family members, Stephen is the one!
I have used Stephen, for the past two years. He is phenomenal with my dogs and they love him. He takes them on nice long walks and they sleep so good after. He is also very compassionate and in tune with the dogs. He's my go to person everytime!
Choosing Steven is a decision you won't regret! His wealth of knowledge on dog care is evident. He loves animals of all kinds and has lots of experience caring for them. He has 2 wonderful dogs of his own and an incredible patient and nurturing vibe. I have trusted him to care for my dogs while I travel. He is always punctual and professional. He makes sure the dogs get their walks in and is great handling overnights, administering meds, preparing dog food, and assisting with senior dogs (who need a little extra care and attention.) I 100% trust him to take care of my pets.
