Dog lover with free time in the day

Pet care experience

I am passionate about providing and caring for dogs. Since bringing my own dog Roger home from the Midwest Animal Rescue Services four and a half years ago, I have developed a great deal of knowledge and respect for our canine friends and family members. I work nights in the service industry, which means I have ample time to help other people care for their dogs during the day. I live 4 blocks from Lake of the Isles, an excellent lake for long walks (with a dog park!). Your dog will receive the exercise, love, and care it needs whenever you must be away, or whenever your schedule simply doesn't allow you to be there to provide for all your pet's needs. I am more than happy to provide care for any special needs your dog may have, as I have nursed my own pet through serious knee surgery. I have experience administering oral medication and do not shy away from any treatment dog-related. My partner, Jane, is also around and - as a dog lover herself - is excited help to care for your pets alongside me. We also have a cat, named Fluff, who loves to cuddle, and who gets along just fine with dogs.

Stephen is a very patient, loving, responsible dog owner and caregiver. He is comfortable handling all kinds of dogs and dog situations, and would be the perfect pick if you're looking for a dog sitter!

Stephen is great with dogs. We could call him 'Dog's Best Friend.' ;) He's always in a better mood when around dogs and I've got to learn a lot through him too. When he was raising his own pup, I got to see his dedication and compassion in action. Stephen's relationship with his dog has fostered an active, well mannered, and happy life for the dog himself, as well as others he spreads joy to.

I've known Steve for years and would attest to anyone that he's a thoroughly dependable guy with a huge love for animals. He always takes excellent care of my cat when I'm out of town. Steve's dog Roger is well-trained, happy and healthy, and I see them walking around Minneapolis in all weather. I can always count on Steve, and I know you and your dog(s) can too!

Stephen has an immense love for all animals. It is a truly magical thing to see him and his dog interact and play with eachother! I've seen first hand that this love he has extends to friends pets or even a dog that he may see on the street. Truely a perfect fit between responsiblity and fun times for your pup! Highly recommend! 5 Stars!
