Pet care experience

Easy going friendly service

I love all animals and am always excited to get to meet new loving dogs and cats. Based in the Capital Region 10min from downtown Albany NY. I have done some dog sitting privately for a pampered pup. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. Attended the dog show meet the breeds in new york city. Dependable and responsible dog walker at your service also flexible to meet your schedule. I get along well with most any animal and have three purrfect cats and fish at home. I love to get outside myself to hike and enjoy the outdoors. I'm confident that I can be a great asset to any owner in need of an extra set of hands. Also drop in service for feeding or potty breaks is available. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment

Three happy cats at home that demand to be fed promptly at 6am and 6pm. They get lots of love and attention. Treats from time to time but not too much.

Dog Walking • May 21, 2022

Steve is the best dog walker! My dog, Pumpkin, loved Mark immediately and loved the walks because he’d come back exhausted after each one!

Steve provides my cats with loving care while I am away. I have one cat who is difficult and can be unfriendly and he has won her over! He sends pictures of her sitting on his lap! He is always prompt and thoroughly cleans the litter box. I love the photo updates he sends while visiting with the cats - I can tell that they are well-cared for. He truly loves animals - it is very obvious from the care and attention they receive.

I've known Steve for about 7 years and he has always been a great caretaker for animals. I have left my dog with him for boarding on a number of occasions and she is always happy to see him. I know he treats her with as much care and affection as I would at home. She still always runs to his door when we go by his apartment even when we aren't visiting. I would highly recommend Steve for boarding, walking or house sitting jobs!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or specific care you would like. I'm easy going and especially love animals that are too.
