Information Steven C. would like to know about your pet

I can follow dog owners specific guidelines for their pets. Medications, food needs and times will be followed, with written instructions from the pet owner.

I have a large assortment of dog toys and love to use a chuck-it to throw balls in my grass backyard. I can also provide walks with a leash on my quiet dead end street.

Very pleasant dog home

Pet care experience

Three large dogs of my own have lived their full lives here in the home I’ve owned with my wife for four decades. Now I regularly board family and friends large dogs when they are out of town. I’m always attentive to water and food needs. There is a dog door, and about 7000 square feet of yard with a 5’ fence.

Peter Pan loves Steve! Being a 4lb yorkie we were nervous to leave him with just anyone. Seeing Peter Pan get so excited to see Steve completely reassured us that he is loved and well taken care of while we are gone. We only use Steve anymore and couldn't be happier.

Steven is our go-to dog sitter for our medium sized Pit- mix. 😊 He has watched our dog numerous times and every stay has been wonderful. Their big backyard gives our dog a lot of space to run and play, and relax in the shade or bask in the sun. The pictures and updates he sends always show our pup happy and getting a lot of love and attention. We appreciate that Steven and his wife Annie treat every dog like their own, and you can trust your dog will get the same great care ours always does!

I trust my pup with Steven frequently. He always takes great care of her & follows my guidelines for her needs & preferences. At one time I also had a very senior dog who required extensive medication & personalized food, and Steven was able to accommodate all of his special needs with ease. My dogs have always come home tired & happy after staying with Steve. I highly recommend him as an excellent dog-sitter!

Steven has cared for our two Australian cattle dogs countless times! He is attentive to their needs, giving them love, affection, and plenty of outside play time with balls and other toys. Our dogs are always happy to come back!
