Pet care experience
Lakeview Getaway
I have been a passionate animal lover since I was a young child, having received my first furry companion at the age of five. Over the years, I have come to understand the importance of caring for pets and the joy they bring into our lives. To me, pets are not just animals—they are members of the family, and I treat them as such. This is why I currently have 2 beloved golden retrievers who bring so much happiness and companionship into my life. My experience with a range of ages and energy levels, combined with my love for pets, makes me well-suited to provide your furry family member with the love and attention they deserve. Whether it's playing, cuddling, or simply spending time together, I am committed to providing a fun and safe environment for your pet to enjoy. As a work-from-home professional—and with my wife also working from home—your dog will always have company and care throughout the day. There's always someone around to make sure your pup is happy, safe, and never feeling lonely. One of the best features of our home is the spacious, fully fenced backyard that opens up to a beautiful lakeview — it's like a private resort for your dog! The open space provides plenty of room to run and play, with direct access to the lake for those pups who love to splash and swim. Dogs can enjoy watching ducks, geese, birds, turtles and other wildlife right from the backyard — it’s natural entertainment that keeps them engaged and happy. On warm Phoenix days, more adventurous pups are welcome to cool off with a dip in the lake, making it a perfect way to enjoy the summer. Whether your dog loves to explore, relax by the water, or jump in for a swim, this lakeside setting offers a fun and refreshing escape — truly a resort-style experience for your furry babies. Last but not least, our 2 friendly golden retrievers are always excited to meet new friends and play, ensuring your pup always has a companion to bond with. In conclusion, I’m here to provide your furry family member with the love, attention, and care they deserve. Whether you're heading out of town or need someone reliable during the workday, you can rest assured that your dog will be well-cared for in a warm, loving, and enriching environment—with both of us home and a lakeside paradise to enjoy.

Ratings and reviews
Our dog can be a little picky with sitters (acting reserved after a stay) and I’m so glad we found Steven. Our girl came back after 1.5 weeks happy, exercised, and acting completely normal! Steven sent daily updates, tons of pics, and clearly gave her plenty of love. I would definitely recommend him for boarding!
Steven was absolutely amazing with Vegas. He kept me updated and sent the sweetest pics. I even think Vegas has been depressed and missing Steven since being home. I truly believe he was treated as one of their own and I can’t wait to use him again. I know Vegas feels the same. Thank you so much for making me feel at ease while I was out of state.
We have been bringing our dog to Steve for a few months now and we are so pleased. He communicates, sends photos and our pup is in good hands with him. Lots of photos too. :-) Highly recommend
Stephen took good cRe of my dog. He is very responsive and shared several pics of the time with her while I was away.
Steven took great care of Bear! Made sure to let me know how she was doing each day and sent me plenty of pictures. I will definitely be using Steven again. When Bear needs a place to stay.
Steven took such good care of our dog Mecho! We always entrust him with our dog!

- In order to provide the best possible care for your dog, it is important to have a full understanding of their individual needs. This includes information about their medical history and behavioral patterns. If your dog has any specific requirements or behavioral issues, it is important to let me know beforehand so that I can make the necessary accommodations. This will ensure that your dog is comfortable and well-cared for during their stay with me. By gathering this information ahead of time, I can provide the best possible pet care experience for you and your furry companion.
