Pet care experience

Fun, friendly loving

The idea to babysit other dogs (and get paid for it) evolved from my love for animals, after losing my own elderly dog at the end of 2025. I have a great space, fully fenced, and I need walks as much as any dog so they would have plenty of exercise and fun. Being semi-retired, I’m home all the time.

Boarding • Mar 16, 2026

Misty thoroughly enjoyed her one week stay with Steve and his family! Misty was well taken care of. Steve made sure Misty was kept very busy, active, and stimulated, which was very important to me because Misty is a high-energy dog. I highly recommend Steve for taking care of your fur babies.

Schedule

I need to get out more since our own dog passed away in 2025. I need more reasons for walks and this is the perfect way to do it.

Safety, trust & environment

I love dogs (but am allergic to cats), and they are treated as part of the family, either if staying with me or even when I meet pets at someone else’s home.

A typical day

A typical day includes a couple walks, ball tossing in the yard (if the dog is up to it), some nap time, and either singing or trick show and tell. Trips to the dog park are in the table with owner’s ok.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Steve can host up to 4 pets per night
My own dog has passed away late 2025, and we have lots of beds and sleeping areas (all beds were washed and stored), toys, and even lots of treats, if ok with the owner. I’m open to all levels of care, and play requirements. I need it as much as they do.
These prices are for 1 dog.
