Bestie for Hire

Stephen did an amazing job with Kisho! It was very clear from the beginning the amount Stephen cared for Kisho's well being and happiness He tackled any small issues that came up, and greatly communicated through out. Having peace of mind when leaving your pup is a priceless feeling. We will be definitely be using Stephen going ahead.

Our Toffee can be very stubborn on walks but Stephen is very patient and sweet with her. He is extremely communicative. Highly, highly recommend!

Stephen was an incredible caretaker of our skittish and very shy little dog and kind, middle-aged cat. We immediately felt his warmth after meeting him for the first time, and sure enough, the animals did, too. Soon after leaving town, we received pictures of our scary-cat dog cuddled up to him… he’s a pet whisperer! After our weekend away, it was obvious that our animals got tons of love and attention. We would highly recommend Stephen without reservation!
