Steve’s is our go to person for pet sitting. He is caring and conscientious. We had an elderly dog and an older cat, and they both needed extra care, and often clean up! Our dog needed gentle walks several times a day. Steve is reliable and will be attentive to your pet’s needs and personality! Our new kitties love to play and I know that Steve will have lots of fun with them. (He takes care of our plants too when we are away.)

Steve is great. Reliable and always checks in with updates. My little furry one loves hanging out with him. I would highly recommend him for your pet walking/sitting needs.

Steven is the ideal pet sitter. He is gentle and kind and keeps our dog Henry safe and happy. He also follows direction perfectly which can be tough with a dog that requires special food and medications. We know Henry is in good hands and will have fun with Steven.
