Highlights
Pet care experience
Poodle dad happy to host your pet!
I grew up with a bunch of smaller pets, mostly fish and hamsters, and finally convinced my parents to adopt a dog when I was in high school. I moved away from home and miss her dearly, but I’m excited to bring the patience and love of animals I learned with my pets to yours! I’m experienced with shelter animals after volunteering at one for some time and am so excited to meet your pet! I have a 55 pound standard poodle named Roshe that I adopted in 2023, and will need to have a meet and greet before hosting your pet.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I had a great experience using Steven for doggy day care for my dog Fuzzy! Steven and his fiance and their sweet dog Roshe were all so nice and welcoming. Communication was great. I will definitely use them again!

Steven and Faben were amazing hosts for Oliver. They are responsive, responsible, attentive and caring. I usually have anxiety leaving my little guy with a new sitter, but I had none of that this go round. Will definitely be a repeat customer!

We couldn’t be happier with the care Steven, Faben, and Roshe provided for our 1-year-old shepherd, Ellie, while we were away on a 10-day work trip. From the start, they were incredibly responsive and helpful during the booking process and even arranged a thoughtful meet-and-greet so Ellie and Roshe could get to know each other beforehand. Throughout Ellie’s stay, they sent us daily updates and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she was having a great time and was in loving, capable hands. We highly recommend their boarding services and would gladly work with them again!

Steven took great care of Gimli for 18 days. He provided daily updates, including videos and pictures. I hope my dog can stay with Steven and Roshi in the future.

I’m so grateful to have found Stephen on Rover to care for my dog, Karson! From the moment I reached out, Stephen was incredibly responsive and professional. He took the time to get to know Karson’s routine, and I could tell Karson was comfortable and happy throughout his stay. Stephen provided daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Karson came back home tired, happy, and well-cared-for. It’s clear that Stephen genuinely loves dogs and treats them like family. I will definitely be booking again whenever I need a sitter. Highly recommend!

Schedule
I work full time, but can work from home 2-3 days a week, and my fiancée works from home all of the time, making it easy for the two of us to care for your pets!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I've walked a variety of dogs at my local animal shelter for some time and can handle pets with a variety of needs. I'm pretty active and can get your dog all of the exercises they need while keeping them safe.

A typical day
Can't wait to get your dog to use their mind and body on our adventures! We'll take in all the smells, find some space to play fetch, or even go for a jog together. I'll make sure to let them show off how great they are and get them socialized with people and animals in the neighborhood if they're not already!
