Highlights
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 ☺️

Ratings and reviews
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.
We’ve booked multiple times with Steven and he’s our go-to if he’s available when we leave town! Gilbert is always well cared for.
It was a really good care. My puppy was happy to play with milo. definitely a good place for puppies.
Thanks again Steven for taking such great care of our pup! He had a wonderful time.
Our pup absolutely loved staying with Steven! Thanks so much, we’ll definitely be back!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Steven! My 9-month-old Bernedoodle, Jasper, is extremely anxious and terrified of new people. Usually, it takes him several visits with someone before he will even feel comfortable enough to approach them. Steven must truly be a dog whisperer because, from the very first meeting, Jasper surprised me by letting him pet him — and even more incredibly, Jasper sat on his lap! This is something I never expected to happen so quickly and it gave me such a huge sense of relief. Knowing that Jasper feels comfortable and safe with Steven means the world to me. I feel so much better knowing that when we go away for longer periods, Jasper will be spending time with someone he already trusts and enjoys being around. Steven has such a natural way with dogs, and I am beyond grateful to have found him. I truly can’t say enough good things about him. Highly recommend!

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!

Home characteristics
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!

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.
