Information Stephen W. would like to know about your pet

Both of us grew up with big dogs (German Shepard and Yellow Lab), so we're comfortable with larger breeds (as long as they're gentle towards the kids). We prefer a dog that is well-behaved (within reason, of course!), or at least is familiar with basic commands.

A typical day

We enjoy walking around the neighborhood, with it's stereotypical tree-lined sidewalks, shady grass covered alleys (right behind the house!), and if the weather is nice, a trail that encircles our towns small lake.

Fun Suburban Vacation For Your Dog!

Pet care experience

Coming from the luxury hospitality world, including many years at the Ritz-Carlton, we know how to create an truly enjoyable experience for our guests. In this case, our guest is your loving dog! We are committed to following your instructions to ensure that your love is treated the way he/she deserves to be treated. Clearly, we can't replicate the experience he/she has at home in your loving arms, but we strive to be a close second. Checking in often, paying attention to what your they're telling us, and maintaining a warm and loving home is our priority. With two kids aged 15 and 12, a big fenced-in backyard, and canine friends on either side, our home is the perfect environment to ensure that your loving dog is having the fun suburban vacation that he/she deserves while you're away for work or pleasure. We love taking pictures, so that you can rest assured that everyone is having a great time! We are insured through Pet Care Insurance, and we are proud to have a 5-star rating covering almost a decade of sitting on Rover. Message us for more info!

Stephen and his family took wonderful care of our two pups while we were away on a two week vacation. I really appreciated the frequent photos and updates, which made it clear that our dogs were having a great time and felt at home. They returned from their stay happy and tired from all the time they spent playing in Stephen’s backyard. I know they will be excited to stay with Stephen and his family the next time we go away. 😊

Stephen and his family took amazing care of our Pup. He was responsive, sent tons of pictures and updates, and our dog came home happy and tired. He has a fenced in back yard and our dog loved having the space to roam. Highly recommend and will use again!

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.
