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 ☺️

Steven did an awesome job with our two pups. This was our second time leaving them with him, this time for a full weekend. Steven was incredibly responsive and communicative throughout, sending updates, photos and videos. He followed all our instructions as well. It’s very clear how passionate he is about the dogs in his care (and dogs in general). We felt totally at ease leaving our dogs with him :)

Steven has been great at making my pet (and myself) feel at ease with the whole boarding process. I’m happy to have found someone we can count on to care for my dog when I’m away!

He was wonderful with Sacha! He was caring, attentive, and kept me updated throughout Sacha’s stay. I really appreciated how comfortable and well cared for Sacha was. I would definitely recommend him and would be happy to book with him again. ❤️

I am very happy with the care Steven provided for my dog during her stay. He followed all of her care instructions carefully, including her medication and activity restrictions, and I felt very comfortable leaving her with him. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely trust Steven to take care of my dog again. Highly recommended! Thank you so much, Steven!

This was the first time we've had Cookie stay w someone outside the family for more than 3 days and he's never been happier :) Cookie absolutely loves staying at Steven's- he's always taken good care of, and loves to go stay there, which is very rare because he has separation anxiety. Always appreciate how professional and wonderful Steven is with our Cookie. Thank you!

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.
