House Sitting • Aug 16, 2026

We hired Steve to stay overnight at our house after previously using him for a walk 2 days prior. It went very well so we booked him for the weekend. Without our knowledge or permission, he took our 17 week old puppy to his place and was not honest about her whereabouts or timeframe. Would not use again or recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to let visiting pets find a space and level of interaction that makes them feel welcome and comfortable. I will always try to make the day fun, and I’ll stimulate curiosity and encourage games and play.

A typical day

Exercise will play a big part and in the day and I will actively engage every dog and try stimulate curiosity and yes, I will be doing a ton of talking and take every opportunity to play and interact.

Every dog is different but tell me what he/she really likes and what to avoid. Help me by bringing a favorite toy or treat. Any medical or special needs should be made very clear preferably in writing
