Pet care experience
Hello my name is Stephen. I live just around the corner from Elysian Park. I work from home so I would be attentive to your dog all day...just as I was with mine. I will make sure they are walked, given time to do their business throughout the day, fed and generally pampered. Our home environment is relaxed so your dog would just be one of the family! If I'm out my wife is at home so your dog would not be left alone or unattended. Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met face to face and my home has been inspected. I am eagerly awaiting your call! The fees listed are for a 24 hr stay, and is for a small dog up to 40lbs! I will consider taking a larger dog depending on the circumstances at the rate of $45 for a 24 hr stay. If you have more than one dog the additional dog rate is $25 for a 24 hr stay. Why I love dog sitting I'm not sure exactly how I became a dog lover but it was most likely growing up as an only child. Whenever my family would visit friends, it was always the family dog that I most gravitated towards. I finally got my own dog (a beagle) and the rest is history. About my yard As you can see in the pictures we do have a fenced area however we don't leave dogs unattended in this area. We would be with them & most likely have them on a leash. We generally walk the dogs in order to relieve themselves. My experience administering medication Oral medication is fine.
Reviews
Stephen & Mary we’re wonderful, it was our first time not taking our dog on a trip and they did a great job of making sure we were comfortable and took great care of our boy.
Murray had a great time with Stephen! He was so relaxed and happy during his stay. Stephen provides excellent, informative updates that gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my vacation. Would definitely recommend!
Stephen did a great job taking care of our two dogs. He was great at communication and providing updates. Thank you!
Stephen was a terrific caregiver for my two little pups, Olive and Lucy, recently. We had a great greet and meet beforehand, and he was super communicative during the planning of the stay and the days and nights he was caring for the girls. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a very caring and loving sitter. I look forward to booking with him in the future!

I enjoy all sorts of activities with dogs. Each one is unique and have their own behavior patterns so I just role with the punches. Most of all I believe loving and caring for them is the most important activity (if you can call it that). I'm constantly amazed at how quickly dogs adjust to their new surroundings when they are in my care. I wonder if they think....hmm is this my new home... my new master?
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks We live just around the corner from Elysian Park. I prefer not to walk on the trail which usually has many dogs that are not leashed, although this against park rules. Park drive is the road above the park, which is my preferred spot to walk. It is picturesque and quiet. I know this area very well having walked my granddog there for years. You can be confident that your beloved dog will be safe, leashed and in good hands!! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Please bring a doggie bed for any overnight stays. We will place it in our bedroom so that your dog is well attended to in a new environment for him or her. We are very cognizant of the fact that being away from their owner and surroundings is a bit unnerving. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home so I would be attentive to your dog all day...just as I was with mine. Making sure they are walked, given time to do their business throughout the day, fed and generally pampered. Our home environment is relaxed so your dog would just be one of the family! If I'm out my wife is usually at home so your dog would not be left alone or unattended.
