Pet care experience

Full Time Pet Sitter

I am a childless male with a senior westie. I have a huge yard that is completely fenced. I love to go on walks and spoil dogs with love. My home is dog friendly and only people who love animals are welcome here. A potty trained dog is required to stay with us but I understand accidents happen. Seniors are welcome. I understand that it is so stressful to leave your dog with a stranger and will work with you to overcome any concerns. I require meets and greets. I can crate a dog if needed and will if it is necessary. I spend a considerable amount of time at home or the client’s home if boarding or sitting. I am a capable dog walker and apply alpha concept if needed. I have plenty of time to commit to dogs throughout the week and weekends. This is my full time job. I have a fenced in yard and live in a stand alone home very close to uptown. When I am doing dog walks and in home sessions I pay the utmost respect to a clients home. Walks, Drop Ins, and Boarding are my priority. I left corporate life to do what I am passionate about. That passion is animal care and services. I have a fenced in yard as well as an animal friendly home. Your dog must love other dogs. I am available for dog walking and drop ins.

Steve is the absolute best. I have 2 large presa canarios that have big personalities. He won them over immediately and is a true professional.

I had to leave town for my brother’s wedding, and at the last minute, our friend was unable to let Scout out. I knew I had worked with Steve in the past and absolutely adored him, so I reached out, and he was able to pick up the job last-minute. He responded so quickly, and even though it had been about a year since he’d seen Scout, he remembered her and all her little tendencies, including her fear of thunder. That meant so much to me. As a pet owner, all you really want when you’re away is to know that your dog is being cared for so you can actually relax and enjoy your time away. Steve gave me that peace of mind. He’s dependable, thoughtful, responsive, thorough, and incredibly kind. I’ll definitely be messaging him again in the future. We already have some trips scheduled for 2027, so I’m very happy to know Scout has someone I trust to care for her! Thank you, Steve!

Steve did a great job walking our 2 pups this week, they are both rescue dogs with their own special personalities. Oakley takes a while to warm up to new people, but she is definitely getting to like Steve. He has a lot of experience with dogs and knows exactly how to build trust with them.

This was my first time booking through Rover, and I was a bit apprehensive at first. From the moment Steve walked through the door, I knew my dog would be in excellent hands. He’s a consummate professional, and I’ve already booked him again for future needs. You won’t be disappointed with the level of care and service he provides.
