Pet care experience

Dog loving and pet owner.

Hi! My name is Stephen, and I bring a professional level of experience and care to every dog I work with. I’m a certified K9 handler with a background in explosive detection and advanced obedience training. Working with highly trained dogs has taught me the importance of structure, consistency, and trust—skills I apply to every pet I care for, whether they’re high-energy, shy, or somewhere in between. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m experienced in reading canine behavior, handling different temperaments, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, you can count on me to provide dependable, attentive care. I also have experience with basic obedience and can reinforce good habits during our time together if requested. If you’re looking for someone reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I’d love to help take care of your pup like they’re my own.
