Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I keep a calm, structured environment. I have one dog and two cats of my own, all well-socialized and comfortable around new animals. I introduce new pets gradually to make sure everyone adjusts safely. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet's existing routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any specific instructions. I send photo updates throughout the day so you always know how your pet is doing.

Information Steven C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any behavioral quirks I should be aware of. For example: reactivity to other dogs, strangers, or loud noises; pulling or lunging on leash; resource guarding around food or toys; separation anxiety; or any known triggers. The more I know upfront, the better I can keep your pet safe and comfortable!

A typical day

Mornings usually start with playtime in the yard, afternoons with a neighborhood walk, and evenings with couch snuggles. Throughout the day, I follow each pet's feeding schedule, medications, and any specific care instructions.

Reliable Care from an Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I've been a hands-on pet owner for over a decade. I'm comfortable following specialized care routines, and staying calm in stressful or medical situations when pets need a little extra attention. I have experience administering medications and managing complex medical needs. I've also been a lifelong cat owner and cat-sitter for neighbors and family, so I'm well-versed in the quirks and independence of cats of all temperaments.

Steven is naturally gifted with animals and someone you can truly trust to care for your pets. I have known Steven for several years, and his dedication to caring for animals is genuine and unmatched. Whether your furry friend is young, old, medically complex, or anywhere in between, he has proven himself to be highly responsible, attentive, and loving as a caregiver. If you are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your loved companion, I would highly recommend Steven's services.
