Dogfather of 5; All Sizes/Breeds!!!

Pet care experience

I have 17+ years of full-time experience as a dog owner (My wife and I are currently the proud parents of 5 fur babies). I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. My own dogs range in size from 30-60 pounds and in age from 6-14 years. I've raised puppies, cared for senior dogs, and everything in between. I walk my dogs every morning around the Trailwood neighborhood of Grand Prairie; if you live near me you may have seen me! While my wife works during the day, I'm the stay-at-home husband and dog daddy. When your dog(s) stay with me I'm at home supervising throughout the day while they do all the things that dogs love to do: play, nap, explore the backyard, etc. If I do need to leave the house to run errands (or grab a quick nap), I make sure your dog(s) are safely, securely, and comfortably kenneled inside my house until I return. I've been sitting for Rover full-time for over 5 years and have successfully completed over 500 bookings for more than 130 different clients. No dog is too much for me! I've sat for overly shy dogs, high-energy dogs, and everything in between! They always leave happy (and are usually worn out from all the playing). Our 5 dogs are our children! When I sit for your dog(s), they will be considered a part of our pack from the get-go and will be treated no differently than we treat our own pups!

We have been very lucky to find Steve on Rover. Our dog loves staying with him, we call it “Doggy Camp” and she gets so excited when she knows it is time to go. He takes such great care of her! It is a huge relief to find someone we can trust. This is the 4th time she has stayed with him and we always hope he is available when we are traveling.

Information Steve B. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences as I love ALL types of dogs. Things I need to know about your dog before sitting for them: Preexisting health conditions Fears/Phobias/Triggers Medications taken Temperament: Do they get along with other dogs? Feeding/bathroom schedule Exercise needs Requirements to board with me: ***Flea/tick preventative ***Vaccinations: RABIES IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST ***What to bring when dropping your dog(s) off: Food and Bowl Crate Bedding/Blankets Leash Favorite toys Medications

A typical day

When your dog boards with me, my goal is to provide an experience as close to their normal routine as possible with respect to walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, bedtime, etc. You can expect lots of PLAYTIME and SOCIALIZATION when your dog(s) board with me! My 5 dogs (along with my other boarders) will provide as much playtime as your dog wants. If your dog doesn't like to play then that's OK too! There are comfortable, out-of-the-way places in my home where your dog can curl up and enjoy a nap. You can also expect at least 1 walk a day (weather and health permitting) to burn off excess energy. Visits to the dog park are an option as well. Let me know what your dog likes to do and we can do it!

As a stay-at-home dog dad with 5 dogs of my own, taking care of of my babies is a huge part of my day. When you already have 5, adding a few more guests is not a problem at all. My babies are always looking for a new playmate.
