Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Caregiver
I’ve been caring for animals all my life, cats ever since I could walk, and dogs since the age of 14 starting with my Yellow Lab Troi, and then my Pembroke Welsh Corgi willie who was with me for 17years. I also have a 16 year old orange tabby cat who absolutely loves dogs. I have been watching animals through Rover since 2016 and have met some fantastic cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits and fish. I have experience both with younger dogs who need lots of attention as well as older dogs who might need some extra care. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Ratings and reviews
Steve is wonderful, highly recommend!
I cannot say enough good things about Steve! This was the first time Billie had ever stayed overnight away from home without me, and of course her first time was when I was out of the country for a week. Needless to say, I was a little anxious about how she would do. Billie is the sweetest girl, but she endured some cruelty in life before she joined our family, so it takes time for her to figure out new people and situations. Steve could not have been more perfect for her. He was so patient and kind with her, kept me updated, and honestly just made the whole experience so easy. I never felt like I needed to worry about whether she was okay, which meant more to me than he probably realizes. Being halfway across the world and knowing my girl was safe and loved was such a gift. I’m incredibly grateful to Steve for taking such wonderful care of her, and there is absolutely no question who I’ll trust with Billie the next time I travel. ❤️
Holly really enjoys her stays with Steve. It makes our travels much easier knowing that she is in good hands with him!
Steve is a real sweetheart. Toodles was completely happy staying with him for the weekend.
Our dog stayed with Steve for 9 nights. She was happy and healthy and excited when we returned. She didn’t mind we left her because she was well cared for and had other dogs to play with. We will definitely use Steve again!
Steve is so very sweet. Juniper is a big puppy with lots of energy and emotions. Tbh, an exhausting toddler. He has so much love to give he just explodes. Until he collapses into sweet dreaming mode😂 Steve has been so patient and understanding of family circumstances and has been so supportive. Even reinforcing training and exposure on the daily to keep Junie the bestest boy ever. I’m grateful for Steve.

Schedule
I focus on your pets full time! I do need to step in and out throughout the day for walks and potty visits but I will be here with your pup the majority of the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is completely fenced in with a locked back gate. While stepping out I crate all the dogs so nobody has an opportunity to get into anything they’re not supposed to.

A typical day
I live in a quiet neighborhood that is very close to Holcomb Baseball fields, every morning we wake up early for some yard time then have breakfast. I normally need to step in and out a few times during the day for walks and drop in visits, but will be home most of the day. We have lots of potty breaks and yard time differs with the temperature, on hotter days I limit their outside time, cooler days I let them spend as much time out there as they like.
