Highlights
Pet care experience
Laid back dog dad
Insured by Pet Sitters Associates! I've had pets (often multiple at once) & have been trusted by friends & family to look after theirs for most of my life - I'm excited to now offer my experience to clients! They've always been part of the family to me & I treat them all as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with a myriad of types/breeds & have experience raising, training & living with high-maintenance dogs. I'm big on positive reinforcement to bring out the best in them, use a gentle approach to ensure the safety of all involved & focus on building trust by assessing each as an individual. Able to walk three medium-large dogs at once. Familiar with elderly/ill pets & the required care. Aside from working with animals, I've had a career in corporate environments doing creative work & maintain a compassionate professionalism in all I do.
Cat care experience
Steve also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I treat them as their own beings & not 'just' pets by understanding & respecting their physical, mental & emotional requirements, doing my best to meet or exceed them. My lifelong interest in psychology has been invaluable in my approach to caring for/working with animals & I studied hard to raise my own into the excellent canine citizens they became, relying heavily on bonding & positive experiences.
Ratings and reviews
Steve was communicative, kind, and patient. One of my dogs is a bit shy with new people but he did not hesitate to make her feel comfortable. I would highly recommend him!
Steve was very good with our pup! He was punctual and easy to communicate with, would definitely recommend him for your pet sitting/walking needs!
Steve was very reliable and even gave some training tips. Would definitely book again!
Steve was fantastic! He was incredibly professional and communicative the entire time he watched our three (large) dogs for a week. Came home to happy dogs and a clean house. Will definitely book again!
Steve was fantastic! He was really sweet to our dogs and very thorough in their care. Not to mention, he navigated downed trees across roads to our house and power being out at our house due to a severe storm while we were gone. Greatly apprecisted his commitment to our dogs!
Steve did an amazing job with drop in visits for my cat and Boston terrier!! Will 100% book again. Thank you Steve!!
