I work fully remote, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This flexibility allows me to easily adapt to different pet care needs, whether it’s for daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. I can adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the attention and care they need.

Information Stephen T. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know about the pet’s temperament, any special needs or medical conditions, their daily routine, feeding schedule, and how they interact with other pets or people.

A typical day

I do a great job at matching a pet’s energy. If your dog is hyperactive then I will sure they get their steps in. If they prefer to chill and stay at home most of the time then I am more than happy to do the same!

Pet care experience

UPDATE 8/02/25: I moved to a house in North Clairemont! There is a fenced backyard with lots of open space for your dog’s next vacation. There is plenty of room and dog-friendly space in the house as well if that’s what they prefer! I’ve always been surrounded by animals, whether they belong to friends or family. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs, making sure they’re well-fed, taken for walks, and kept clean. Whenever needed, I’m the go-to person to step in and provide the attention they deserve. I’m comfortable with pets of different ages and personalities, and I always make sure they feel safe and loved.

Stephen was an excellent sitter as expected. He made sure to show me the parts of his home that our new puppy would be exposed to and his proximity to a few other dogs he was currently sitting for. I could immediately tell that he had a good handling of dogs and provided photos and videos throughout the day. He was also flexible with the pickup time as my partner was running later than expected. Looking forward to using Stephen more regularly!

Cody had a great time and made an awesome friend during his weekend at Stephen’s. Really appreciated the photos and videos I got too.

Stephen took really good care of Lobo and also updated Lobo’s photos and videos during the stay.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
