Pet care experience

It’s my pleasure to walk your dogs

As a dedicated dog walker and boarding provider, my mission is to combine a deep love for dogs with exceptional care and a thorough understanding of canine behavior. My work is more than a profession—it is a genuine commitment to each dog’s well-being and happiness. With experience handling various breeds and temperaments, I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of every pet. Dogs in my care benefit from structured walks, engaging play sessions, and a safe, comfortable boarding environment. My strong observational skills enable me to anticipate their needs, creating a secure and trusting experience.

What a delight. Steven was incredible with our Bernedoodle. He really took the time to bond with our sweet but sometimes anxious dog. And in no time, our dog trusted him. He trusted him so much that it looked like he was on vacation, too! Steven sent lots of photos while we were away and was very responsive and accommodating. Will definitely work with him!

Steven took fantastic care of Piper while we were away. He sent tons of photos, videos, and notes keeping us up to date on her stay, and she always seemed happy and well cared for. He was very responsive whenever we needed to reach him. We will definitely work with him again!

Steven was awesome as usual. I always book with him because I know I can trust him and my dogs are always happy to see him. I always get a quick response from him and I receive photos and video updates multiple times a day. My dog has anxiety when it comes to walks and he’s always patient with her. Will use him every time.

Steven was great with Yummee. He gave us updates and pics daily. He was very attentive to her allergy needs. It was great appreciated. We will book with Steven again.

Schedule

Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, as I provide dog walking and boarding services every day while attending college. Balancing my studies with pet care allows me to stay active, responsible, and engaged with the animals I care for. Whether it’s daily walks, ensuring their well-being, or providing a comfortable boarding experience, I prioritize their needs while managing my academic commitments. This routine not only strengthens my time management skills but also allows me to build meaningful connections with the pets and their owners. Caring for animals is both a passion and a rewarding responsibility for me.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I treat it like a vacation for them, allowing them to be free, relaxed, and have fun 24/7. I ensure they feel at ease, creating a welcoming and stress-free environment. I follow the “Mi casa, su casa” approach, where they are free to explore and enjoy themselves. If toys are not provided, I always make sure to supply them, so there’s no need for concern. My priority is to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and entertained during their stay, ensuring a positive experience for both the pets and their owners.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the park, especially if they have a lot of energy, as it provides a great space for them to release that energy and have fun. I make sure to choose locations where they can run and play freely. Additionally, I provide a variety of toys in my home to keep them entertained and engaged 24/7. My goal is to ensure that they are physically active and mentally stimulated throughout their stay, creating a fun and enriching environment for them.

The most important information to know about a dog is whether they are friendly, as dogs who are uncomfortable meeting new people can present challenges during walks or visits. With over two years of experience in dog walking and boarding, I have learned that understanding a dog’s temperament in advance is essential to ensure a smooth experience and to prevent any unnecessary difficulties. Additionally, it’s important to be informed about any medical conditions, separation anxiety, or reactivity to other dogs, as these factors can influence the care and approach I take. By having a clear understanding of these aspects, I can provide the best care, ensuring the dog’s safety and well-being throughout their time with me.
