Pet care experience

Doggie Retreat Inn 🏡

Growing up, I’ve always wanted to take care of animals and now that I am in a position to do so, I care for my two very own pups, Ellie & Milo. My dogs love staying at my parents, so if you’d prefer your pup to be taken care of alone; this is no problem at all! However, if you'd like your little one to socialize and have play time with other dogs, just let me know :) I have volunteered at HSI, where I was able to help with the rehabilitation of rescue dogs that were saved from dog meat farms in South Korea, this is something that I will continue to try doing…my lifelong goal is to start a dog sanctuary and care for dogs in need! Therefore, all proceeds from my Rover journey will be going towards the future dog sanctuary 🙏 Aside from that, dog’s are the greatest gifts on earth, and with that being said, I will take care of your little one, as if they were my very own ☺️

Doggy Day Care • Jul 25, 2026

Was a pleasure communicating with Steven and he even accommodated a extension to my puppies stay with relative short notice. I will be using his services again and would recommend him to anyone looking to have their dog well taken care of!

We are so happy that we met Steven today and left our furbaby with him. Chewie seemed very happy and enjoyed hanging out with him and with his dogs. We also feel comfortable leaving Chewie with him because he’s updating us time to time. We have another booking with steven next week for Chewie and surely will have more in the future. We’re so glad we met Steven today and entrusted our furbaby to his care! Chewie seemed absolutely thrilled, spending time with him and his dogs. Plus, we feel at ease leaving Chewie with him since he keeps us in the loop with updates. We’ve got another booking with Steven next week for Chewie!

I highly recommend Steven. It was the third time my shy dog stayed with him and he made sure she was comfortable. He even took great care in helping her with socializing with the other dogs that were staying there at the same time. Steven is reliable, answers fast and flexible. He has a real dedication and love for dogs.

Steven is the only sitter I ever use for my dogs. He is kind, attentive, and cares about all of his animals deeply. He sends lots of photos of them to me and lets me know what they’re up to everyday. 10/10 recommend☺️

Steven took great care of Chico for 11 days. Chico is an anxious dog, but Steven’s calm, patient approach made him feel safe and comfortable.We really appreciated the regular updates and photos. Highly recommend Steven.

Schedule

I currently work full time remotely at home (3 bedroom apartment with rooftop patio) and I love staying home on the weekends, so I’m available everyday! My office room is a hybrid room, where it is my office and where most dogs like to spend time in! I do have a second bedroom, which is dedicated to doggies with its own dog bed and crate (if needed). There are pictures available for you to see!

Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly dogs that will keep your fur baby socialized and never alone (while I’m answering emails!) I have a female golden retriever who loves to play and a male Shiba who is a calm, sweet boy. My place is a 5 1/2 upper duplex with a rooftop that has turf, this is where the pups can play! Angrignon park is right next to my place, so they would go for walks at the park, where there is a long trail and plenty of nature. From time to time, I will sit two dogs, but never more than two as I have one doggie room dedicated for each pupper!

Pets

A typical day

My dogs and I love to take long walks along the angrignon park trail, which is located about a 5 minute walk away from me! Aside from that, we also love going in car rides together to the pet store or simply watching TV…yes my dogs watches TV! I also have a rooftop patio with a turf grass floor so the dogs can do zoomies or lay in the sun.
