Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Best Friend 🐾

I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely comfortable from the moment we meet. After more than 11 years as a pet owner and sitter, I’ve learned that every pet has its own personality, routine, and their own personality, routine, and unique way of expressing themselves. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll adapt to their routine and energy level so they feel at home. I’m calm, dependable, patient, and treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I carefully follow your instructions and provide regular photo and video updates, so you can enjoy your trip knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, cats, and pets that require oral medications or extra attention due to age or special needs. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and earning their trust at their own pace.

Steve was amazing with our golden. He was able to watch Levi last minute and gave him the best keys vacation. I could not have asked for a better experience with a pet sitter!

I really appreciate the excellent care Steve provided to my cat Gabby and dog Sprite. All the pictures were wonderful. Sprite loved walkies and hang out time. Steve definitely went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were happy and healthy. Thank you so much!
