Highlights
Pet care experience
Full-time dog walker and boarder!!
🔥 Full-time dog walker and boarder since 2018, exclusively in Cambrian Park near Los Gatos. Extremely reliable and trustworthy, fully insured outside Rover. Your dog will be one of the pack! 😀 Your dog is my priority and primary concern for the duration of their stay. Lots of photos and videos will be sent daily. Dogs sleep in the bedroom, we move the dog beds in, and the door is left open so they have access to water and the entire house at night. If your dog prefers their crate, no problem. We walk dogs everyday, on the creek trail downtown Los Gatos around 11am. Typically with 4-5 or more dogs at a time. Your dog may be able to join our pack walk, depending on availability. I am a home owner for over 14 years, and I retired in 2019 from a 25 year web design career. I have experience with all sizes and breeds; large to small; over six years full-time. Our current daily pack includes a Great Dane, Cattle dog, Doodles, Schnauzer, Labrador, Pomsky, etc.

Ratings and reviews
Steve took such good care of my pups! Pictures and lots of walks! Would definitely trust Steve with my dogs again!
Thanks Steve for caring for Tala for a week and for letting us to pick her up late!
Steve took great care with our pups. They came home happy and healthy. I’m so glad to have found a reliable sitter.
Steve loves dogs and is very experienced caring for them and making them feel comfortable away from home. Our large Shepherd/Rottie mix was well taking care off during a weeklong stay with daily walks and lots of playtime. It was clear from the many photos that he was having a great time, allowing us the peace and mind to enjoy our trip. Fantastic sitter - would absolutely recommend !
We loved working with Steve! It was our first time leaving our puppy so we were a little nervous, but Steve made Reese feel right at home and comfortable. He sent us multiple updates every day which I was so grateful for. Not to mention he took us in VERY last minute in a holiday weekend. We will definitely be using him again!
Steve is very communicative keeping me informed and sending photos of my pups during boarding. Steve is also very tuned-in to the pups in his care. Thank you Steve!

Pet care is 100% of my daily and weekly routine! We have dog walked 3+ miles for over five years, consistently. We walk, we board, repeat.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I carry secondary dog walking and boarding insurance, through Lloyd's of London, see my photos. I am a home owner, and Bay Area native. I grew up in Mountain View, and have lived nearby my entire life. Pets in my home are allowed on couches, in all rooms, and both the front and backyard are securely fenced in.
Pets
A typical day
At least one walk per day, around the block, about 1 mile. I can also take them on the bicycle, to run; that wears them out. I don't go to dog parks, as they can be out of control. Lots of photos will be taken during the stay. At least one set of photos per day, often more. We board up to five at a time including ours, so lots of socialization and fun time.
Prices include all fees.
