Steve took great care of our pup. Steve was very easy to work with and responded quickly to any messages we sent.

Steve was great with our older dog (14 year old Labrador). Unfortunately, our dog's arthritis hit a tipping point and he lost function in his legs during the stay. Steve contacted us immediately and sent videos of our dog's condition. He took our dog to a 24-hour pet hospital late at night and communicated with us throughout the entire ordeal. The next day he picked up our dog and gave him prescribed meds until we returned from our trip. Steve was professional, caring, responsive, and helpful. Anything you could want from a pet sitter, especially during one of those rare emergency situations!

Steve was easygoing, was flexible with his schedule. My dog seemed to really enjoy her time there. Overall, a great experience.

Steve was a great dog sitter - blue was in good hands, well exercised, and loved her stay.
