Safety, trust & environment

Though no furry friends of our own I have always been passionate about taking care of our chosen and found families, four legged especially. I like to make the time spent with clients (Human and K9) feel seamless to their every day lives, taking special care and attention to what the client does on a regular basis and preferences to ensure of connection, trust, and bonding with the pet.

Information Steven G. would like to know about your pet

I usually have a short list of questions including: medications, emergency contact/vet services, regular schedule, bathroom habits, the pet's comfort with others (like encountered on a walk both), diet (any special requirements or circumstances).

A typical day

I am an early riser and avid walker, so exercise and important play and mental stimulation is my favorite, but I tailor the service to the needs and wants of the dog and owner. I try to stick to the schedule the pet is used to but listen to and gauge the pet's needs in the moment. Long or short walks, hikes on greenways, trips to the park or dog park, if my new furry friend is up for it I am game, though I like to stay close to home for comfort and safety of all.

Pet care experience

Previously a Musical Theatre Actor and Professional, I have been dog walking and sitting for nearly 15 years for private clients, friends, and family. My first gig was in highschool for my Chemistry teacher! Lancastrian and LGBTQIA Community Member, my long-term partner and I have been in Lancaster for 8 years, living in the heart of downtown. Unable to have pets of our own due to apartment agreement, looking to connect with the community and take care of our four legged friends. Previous experience specializing in Dog Walking and Sitting in Retirement/Senior Communities and assisting dogs with special diets, medicines or needs.

Izzie loves Steven and was well taken care of for two mid-day walks. Steven was very organized and thorough in initial meeting and greet. Would recommend and will use again. Thank you.

We recently had the pleasure of having Steven as our dog sitter while we were away for a week, and we couldn't be more impressed with the care he provided for our three dogs. Steven demonstrated all the qualities that make an exceptional dog sitter. Every morning, Steven came over regularly to feed our dogs, give them treats, and spend quality time with them. His dedication to their well-being was evident in the beautiful pictures he took and the daily updates he provided, which kept us reassured and connected to our furry family members. Steven's attentiveness and proactive approach were amazing. He would check in on the dogs if he had any concerns, such as during a storm, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. His genuine care and commitment to our dogs' happiness and health truly set him apart. We highly recommend Steven to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. His professionalism and love for animals make him an outstanding choice for pet care.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
