Currently open to just about anything. I'm recovering from health issues and have much more free time since losing my dog, they just bring me a ton of joy and caring for them is good for the soul.

About Steve N.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm very affectionate with animals and rely heavily on positive reinforcement/praise, they're very much part of the family and not just pets to me. I understand their physical, mental and emotional requirements and do my best to meet or exceed them. I've always been very interested in psychology and feel that knowledge has been invaluable in my approach to caring for/working with animals.
Information Steve N. would like to know about your pet
Let me know of any special needs, unique behavior and their preferences so I can do my best to keep your pet entertained and cared for as you would!
A typical day
Daily walks around our low-traffic neighborhood or at parks, play time with or without toys, mental stimulation using kibble or treats, and of course lots of love.

Pet care experience
Dogs have always been part of my family, from Beagles to Bullies and up to three in a home at a time. Friends and family have trusted me with caring for their animals on a fairly regular basis doing anything from food/bathroom check-ins to walks and dog park visits. Experienced walking three medium sized dogs at once. Comfortable with elderly dogs and their needs, including handling seizures and the appropriate care. I'm less experienced with cats but have had and loved them all the same, my only hesitation being allergies from extended exposure to some.
Reviews
Steve was fantastic with my three dogs! His calm, easygoing energy made a noticeable difference right away. One of my dogs, Dolly, typically needs some time to warm up to new people but almost immediately she was walking happy and relaxed. This honestly blew me away. It's clear Steve has a natural way with dogs. I'd highly recommend him, especially if you have a pup that can be a little hesitant with strangers. We'll definitely be booking again!
Steve has been around dogs his entire life spending years as the caretaker of the family pets, be it his or otherwise, doing anything from the basics to challenging hikes together. He treats all animals as one of his own and thoroughly enjoys working with them. I attribute his Chloe’s happy, well-behaved nature to his diligent nurturing as his dog’s happiness and wellbeing is Steve’s #1 concern 24/7. He's conscientious, responsible, loving, dedicated and aware.
