I’ve always had animals of every sort growing up and as an adult. They are the best company and being retired, they provide so much joy to my life. Well, in my home or away safety and Care is my number one objective which involves the parents and your loved ones. Well, with me, your pets well enjoy frequent walks, playtime, special nutritious meals at your request , medication administration, and so much more.. Also, I provide live video, FaceTime , pictures or any other needs to give you peace of mind while you’re away! I’ve learned early in life that loved ones around us, including your pets, just wanna be loved and cared for I provide love and gentleness and even simple brushing that your pet would enjoy Please reach out to me. I only like to care for no more than two pets at a time so I can give them the love and attention and let them know how special they are.😉 Thank you

Stephen took the very best care of our boy, Fred, while we were out of town for a couple weeks! Stephen kept Fred very active, gave us wonderful updates each day about how Fred was doing, and best of all, he gave Fred a happy, peaceful, loving home while we were away. Stephen is the very best, and we know we will use his dogsitting services again.

We were gone nearly a week on a cruise. Stephen was an amazing dog sitter. After the meet and greet, when we went to drop off the bears. They ran from the car to the house to scratch on the door. They seemed excited for the visit. When we left he took them on a walk before we even got into the car. This was crucial for them not to notice that we had left. They would bark and cry and wait by the door. This is something he did which we had not thought of trying before. He constantly kept us updated on what the babies were up to, how they were eating, drinking, exercising and playing. My dogs seemed to love him. He took them on tons of walks! Sent several pictures and videos. They seemed to settle in fast.He even let them sleep in bed with him! When he had to be out at an appointment or running an errand he let them chill and relax. My dogs are a bit high maintenance and I have a care guide written up for dog sitting instances. He read through the whole thing and followed it. He even brushed them, which was not a requirement. He was flexible with the pick up and drop off times. They seemed to be happy Lilly babies when we came to get them. I would definitely hire Stephen to watch my babies again.

Stephen was great! We had a specific situation with our dog, but he was happy to accommodate and went above and beyond. He got some great long walks, and I’m sure got some great attention and love. Excellent communication. Would for sure use him again!

Stephen (a.k.a Vincent) took such great care of my two dogs while I was away for a few days. It was quite clear that their safety & comfort are his number one priority. He took them on walks several times a day and even brushed them, plus texted updates and photos every day. I'll definitely be booking services with him again.
