Experienced Dog sitter in Boerne

Hi Im Steve. I am a home full time , retired dog sitter. I can care for dog in your home or my home. I have a large fenced in secure yard where your dog can hang out and play. I have a doggy door to our secure backyard so your dog can go in and out at will. I have a plush well maintained green lawn is every dogs dream. I can take your dog for walks along river walk in downtown Boerne to go duck watching, walks in our sub division or nature walks in local woods to see deer and lizards. Your dog will be so happy that he will not want to leave. Let me know anything special about your dog and I am sure we can accommodate your pet. I care for 1 dog at a time.

Steve did a wonderful job. He is a very good communicator and is highly responsible. I would recommend him to anyone whose dog needs a playdate, walk or overnight care.

Steve was wonderful with Emmitt, as evidenced by the fact that Emmitt wasn’t eager to leave him! Steve was thoughtful and caring.

Our Pup was in the best hands with Steve! We had such peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for. Steve treated him like his own pet, and was attentive to all of his routines and needs, including walks and daily play time. We will definitely be booking with Steve whenever we need a dog sitter again.

I was very nervous about leaving Zorro with someone other than a family member. Steve was very kind and thoughtful. He suggested we meet ahead of time, so he could get to know Zorro. I was very happy with the attention and care that Steve provided. He was thoughtful and I could tell that Zorro loved being there. Steve sent me videos of Zorro playing to reassure me that all was well. I highly recommend Steve to others and I will definitely take Zorro back in the future.

First and foremost, Steve loves his own pets, and they are clearly part of his family. He takes the time to try and plan as many personal activities as possible with his human friends that can also include Bebe and Titus! He is affectionate to animals and devotes his time and energy to entertaining and being with them, enjoying the company. Steve pays attention to detail and understands the specific and unique needs for each pet. He plans ahead and prepares for the day to include whatever each pet might need. Steve is a trustworthy person whom I would personally trust with my home, children or pets!
