Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable care & companionship
Hello there! I'm Steve - a part-time writer and full-time animal lover, based in Caerleon. I've so enjoyed looking after dogs for family and friends over the years. My fiancée's parents have a lively 10 year-old JRT x Corgi, named Hector, with whom I've built a very close bond through engaging walks and gentle play. I've also enjoyed housesitting for friends with multiple pets - dogs, cats and even a house rabbit - ensuring the comfort of routine and security of affection are maintained in their absence. My own dog, Kaya, is a sweet-hearted nine year old collie x whippet who's recently joined the family. She's a sensitive soul and, like Hector, suffers with separation anxiety. As such, I understand entirely how important consistency and comfort are for anxious dogs like them.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe in showing all our canine companions calm and consistent company, whether during an enriching walk, a quiet cuddle or just a lunchtime check-in for food and water.
Ratings and reviews
Steve looked after my fur baby exceptionally well. He is a very nice, kind and helpful man. Steve dilagently followed a rather complicated feeding and medication regime to the letter. When I got back from my break my boy was calm and happy. Steve sent me video, pictures and regular updates for which I was extremely grateful. Respected my home and kept it clean and tidy. Played and loved Dexter as if he was his own dog. Highly recommend Steve to look after your pet, I will definately be requesting he comes to look after Dexter again. Booked Steve at short notice because my original sitter cancelled due to a family grievance - Thankyou for helping me out I am extremely grateful.
We came home to a very happy and relaxed dog. Steve took great care to follow Reuben’s structure. We won’t hesitate to rebook with Steve.
Always feel comfortable leaving Rolex with Steve. They have a lovely time together and the photos & videos of what they get up to are an added bonus. Will definitely continue to use Steve as Rolex's sitter!
Highly recommended pet sitter. Steve was fav throughout the time we were away. Mimi was as comfortable with Steve as she is with us. Definitely will expect Steve to help with any of our future pet sitting needs.
Huge thanks to Steve for taking such great care of our puppy, Rolex. When we got home, Rolex was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well looked after. Steve was calm, attentive, and provided truly top-class care. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.
Steve was wonderful, good updates and photos to keep us at ease. Rupert seems to of enjoyed the service and attention. Steve clearly has respect and love for animals. We always find Rupert in a very happy mood following his visits. I would definitely use again for complete peace of mind. Thank you Steve!

Schedule
I spend much of my week working from home, so I have plenty of time to offer care and companionship to pets who need company whilst their humans are busy.
