Pet care experience

The sitter your furry family wants!

Hey there I'm Steven! Thanks for considering me to look after your dogs/cats! Animal care is my passion and my calling. I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I have years of professional experience working at different doggie daycares and also spent one year as a veterinary assistant. I am currently in the process of studying for the Certification for Professional Dog Trainers exam so if you're interested in some basic obedience/behavior modification/clicker training services please feel free to ask during our meet & greet!

Booking was cancelled already. Steven was a no show/no contact for several days before the trip. We had to find another walker urgently as he was a no show and we went on vacation

Steven is honestly the best 🙌 He takes such genuine care of my cat Kittu like her own. I travel with total peace of mind knowing she’s in loving, reliable hands. So grateful for him!

Such a nice person. Our dog loved him, especially when Steve went above and beyond by playing fetch after her walk. Steve is a keeper!

Schedule

I have open availability and would love to talk your dogs and day or night of the week and can perform house sitting services depending on location and advanced notice because I do have my own dog who is 12.

Safety, trust & environment

I use what's known as the LIMA(least intrusive, minimally aversive) approach to animal care. I prefer to celebrate an animals success' rather than focusing on their mistakes. I use praise, OFTEN. Your furry family member will hear me tell them how good they are A LOT!

Pets

A typical day

I always enjoy easy-breezy neighborhood walks, up-hill cardio walks to keep dogs' muscles toned and healthy, or adrenaline-pumping adventures chasing after the ball in the dog park or just running around open grassy areas anchored to the dog by a flexible, but heavy duty, 30 ft nylon training lead, and I also like to use food scented puppy bubbles!

Age/breed, medications taken, Food/environmental allergies as well as any other known health concerns, known/familiar commands, please tell me if your animals are reactive to any particular stimuli so I can prepare to avoid any that may approach during a walk. I like to limit negative experience and increase the positive ones so that your dog grows to love me.
