Safety, trust & environment

I am responsible for a senior dog that needs attention and frequent potty breaks. We don't have a fenced in yard so the pets need to monitored for their safety or walked. I regularly walk all of my dogs and play with them constantly. I am the go-to person when all family and friends need pet assistance.

Information Stephen V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any particulars about your pets that you would like me to incorporate. All pets are different, and I want to make sure your routine is also theirs.

A typical day

I like to start with basic toys and fetch and if needed to run around with them on walks or in the backyard. Pets typically find a way to tell you how they want to play.

Pet care experience

About Me: I come from a true animal-loving family! Growing up, we've always had a variety of pets, from playful puppies to cuddly kittens and even a few reptiles. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic Dalmatians to affectionate Terriers. My Experience: Current Care: I currently provide regular care for a 5-year-old Dalmatian, a 7-year-old Terrier mix, and a 5-year-old Bulldog. Household Experience: My own home is a bustling animal sanctuary! We have two senior dogs, one middle-aged dog, and a playful 5-year-old cat, and even a turtle. All our pets have been part of our family since they were young. My Skills: Reliable & Responsible: I am a highly responsible and trustworthy 18-year-old senior in high school with flexible availability outside of school hours, including overnight stays. Excellent Communicator: I'm friendly and outgoing, and I'm always happy to keep you updated on your dog's well-being. Reliable Transportation: I have my own reliable transportation, ensuring I can get to you and your dog promptly. I'm passionate about providing loving and attentive care to your furry friend. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a long walk, or an overnight stay, I'm here to ensure your dog is happy and comfortable. Additional: I have military base access and pride myself on being drug-free

Stephen was always very responsive and easy to communicate with, which we appreciated. He did come by three times a day as scheduled and spent a lot of time at our house around our dog. However, we noticed that our dog was not regularly played with or walked, and since he’s a large, high-energy dog who needs daily outdoor time, this may not have been the best fit. Overall, Stephen may be better suited for smaller lower-energy dogs, but he is a reliable communicator.

Stephen has watched my Pomeranian for a few years now. She absolutely loves him. Stephen is very reliable - he is never late and never cancels. He is a great young man and with strong family values. But more importantly and you can trust him with your pet(s). I highly recommend him, you won’t be disappointed.

Stephen is so patient and has a wonderfully calm demeanor around our dogs. One of our dogs is crated while we’re gone, which is lonesome and constricted; Stephen genuinely enjoys spending time with our pups as if they are his own dogs needing some company. If you’ve got an easy-going dog needing some company and a leg stretch, Stephen is your caregiver.
