Stephen took wonderful care of both of our senior citizen pups. He sent lots of photos and kept us up to date on what was going on with our girls. I can’t say enough about how compassionate and kind he is. He went above and beyond to make sure our pups were comfortable and felt loved.

Stephen was the best sitter for our baby Scout! This was only the 2nd time using Rover so we are always a little nervous - but Stephen and his daughters were amazing. We loved the frequent photo updates! Will definitely be using him again in the future! :)

Stephen was GREAT! This was our first time leaving our dog with someone other than close friends or family so we were definitely a little nervous. We were able to book last minute which was super helpful and Stephen did great with Kodi and sent multiple pictures while we were gone. I have no doubt that Kodi was in good hands and well taken care of!

Stephen was absolutely amazing! He watched our dog for a full week and made the entire experience stress-free. He sent regular updates with pictures, which we really appreciated—it gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and it was clear our dog was well cared for and happy. You can tell Stephen genuinely loves animals and takes his responsibility seriously. We would 100% book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring sitter!

Highly recommended! Stephen took care of my puppy for 5 days and it was excellent. He was very attentive and affectionate, and the fact that he sent me photos kept me at ease the whole time. I am also very grateful to his daughters, as they took care of him and played with him throughout the stay. I am so happy with their dedication and the great care provided. I will definitely count on them again!
