Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog sitter & walker
Along with raising our 5 year old Golden Retriever, I have 20+ years of dog-sitting experience and have been a Rover sitter since 2021. I’m comfortable with many different breeds and sizes having watched anything from Daschaunds to St. Bernard’s. I’ve also been highly referred by numerous clients that are satisfied with my services.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Steve and Kelly were really great sitters for our pup. They provided regular updates and were flexible with the pickup when we had flight delays.

Steve was able to help me last minute, he had a nice place and kept me updated with pics and videos. His dog Gus is a really chill good boy and mine came over tired from all the play time. Thanks for the last minute help Steve and great job!

Steve, Kelly and their golden were great and we highly recommend! They kept us updated with pictures and our pup had a great time!

Steve was very accommodating and good with Levi. He kept in touch while I was out of town and sent pictures. I’m sure Levi will want to visit again.

Our elderly dog Penny enjoyed staying with Steve and his wife and Gus. We received pictures and updates every day and felt very confident that she was in good hands with Steve! We would not hesitate to request Steve again for future pet sitting needs.

Friendly couple and good communicators. Our girl seemed perfectly at home!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule during the week & the weekend which allows me to spend quality time with your pup giving them top-notch care and all the attention needed to ensure they are comfortable throughout their stay. My wife Kelly also works from home full-time so between the two of us your pup will be in good hands and taken care of throughout all times of the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My wife and I adore our 5 year old Golden Retriever and pamper him daily. We play fetch with him and go on a lot of walks so we’re well-versed on caring for an active dog if that’s the type of personality your pup has. When we’re not outdoors being active, you’ll most likely find Gus snoozing on the couch or flat on his back requesting a belly rub so if your pup is less-crazy and a little more lazy we cater to that, too. He gets along great with other dogs and has made a handful of new Rover buds since we started sitting so he’ll be excited to meet you and your pup! I know that boarding a pet can be a stressful time for you as well as your animal, I’ll make sure to check in with daily updates and pictures of your furry family member to keep you posted on how they are doing. I’ll make myself available 24-7 during the boarding so whether its an urgent emergency, an unexpected flight cancellation, or you’re relaxing on the beach and just want to know what your dog is up to, feel free to call/text/message me anytime day or night.
Pets
A typical day
I’ll keep your pup entertained by playing with them and their toys, taking them on walks in the neighborhood or nearby park, playing fetch on the golf course right outside our backyard, and showering them with constant pets and belly rubs. Based on their specific needs, I will do whatever is needed to create a safe and fun environment to ensure your dog feels comfortable at all times.

- Let me know if your dog has any specific needs or behaviors that will help me make your dogs stay safe and smooth. Whether it’s details on medications or random quirks to look out for (i.e. growls at people wearing hats) I’d love to know any and all of that info to make it the best experience possible.
