Availability
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m retired and have very open availability. I don’t juggle other work commitments, so your pet’s schedule becomes my schedule. This allows me to be flexible with feeding times, walks, medication needs, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to give pets the attention and consistency they deserve rather than fitting them in between other obligations.

Safety, trust & environment
Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid Certified. Your loved one is unique, so I always tailor my care to specific needs and routines. In your home or out, I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, and comfort habits so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep a calm, low-stress environment and prioritize safety at all times — secure double doors, careful leash handling, and close supervision during walks and play. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for while you’re away.

Information Steven L. would like to know about your pet
It’s helpful for me to know anything that makes your dog feel comfortable and secure — their routine, feeding schedule, walking habits, favorite toys, and any fears or sensitivities. I also ask for an emergency contact and your preferred animal hospital or vet information. I’ve never had to use it, but I believe in always being prepared so I can act quickly and responsibly if anything unexpected happens.
A typical day
I match activities to each dog’s personality and energy level. For active dogs, that can include longer walks, playtime, and plenty of opportunities to explore and sniff. For calmer or senior dogs, I focus on gentle walks, light play, and lots of relaxed companionship. Throughout the day, I make sure pets get attention, mental stimulation, and downtime so they stay engaged, happy, and comfortable.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Steven— a retired restaurant manager who brings the same level of responsibility, consistency, and attention to detail to pet care. I’m calm, patient, and dependable, which helps dogs feel safe and relaxed with me. I already dogsit most of the year, and many of my regular clients encourage me to open up more availability on Rover so more owners can benefit from the care I provide. I do especially well with dogs who prefer steady routines, gentle handling, and clear communication. Whether your dog is energetic or more laid-back, I focus on providing reliable, attentive care and making sure they feel comfortable and well looked after at all times. For boarding and day care, your loved one would be staying in a dog-free fenced-in home, allowing for a calm, low-stress environment and more individualized attention. I only provide care for one family at a time.
Reviews
Thank you Steven for always coming through for us! Your services allow us to enjoy our lives while having peace of mind that our fur baby is well taken care of! I almost wish your services were a secret so we could selfishly keep you to ourselves! We appreciate the reminder the day before a booking, we appreciate the constant communication and lovely pictures and videos you send, and we appreciate you caring for our dog as if he was your own!
I was super hesitant leaving anyone with my fur baby, but Steven made this process so easy. He constantly sent updates and pics and in all the pics my Mac looked so happy. I will definitely be booking with Steven again if needed. Highly recommend.
Steven was super great, patient and loving towards my newly rescued dog. He sent pictures and updates every day and I can see my dog was extremely happy and living her best life, especially since he’s so close to a park and can provide adventures. I would definitely recommend him and I will be using him again in the future!
Steven continues to be a conscientious and loving pet sitter for us. He is so easy to work with and extremely likable. A true dog person!
