Energetic, enthusiastic, playful!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Steven D., I've been in love with Animals all my life, Ive grown up around numerous animals be it dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, you name it! I have numerous Veterinarians in my family who've I've helped at work and have a dog of my own! A small Maltipoo (Maltese/Poodle) a special skill of mine is how I approach dogs, I find that being aggressive or stern with some breeds may not work with others and may change my attitude due to the type of dog! I am very transparent and can share walking routes, routines, or even bring treats for your furry friend! I hope you can contact me and set something up, and feel free to ask about any additional pet services!

Steven stayed with our 8 y/o dog Simba for an entire week at our place while we were out of town on vacation and they had the most lovely time together! Steven can easily connect with dogs and seems to have a natural calming presence. Great experience working with him!

Steven is awesome! He sends us great, consistent updates and he and our dog Simba get along great. He has a natural demeanor that our dog loves. We’re looking forward to continue working with him :)

Steven is one of my close friends, so i’ve had him take care of my pet dachshund blu and he was amazing with him, definitely a dog love but an animal lover overall. He absolutely adores his dog hope and would be a great person to take care of any pet.

Beyond being a good friend Steven also is a liver of dogs. He himself owns a pet dog named hope who is always happy, healthy and certainly well taken care of. He treats his own dog as he would a family member with the love and respect that that entails. Sincerely, Noe V.
