Because Pets Deserve the Best

I raised and took care of family Labrador retriever for 15 yrs. I was her primary source for activity, taking her on daily walks and for swims in the lake. I would give her baths, take her regularly to the vet. As further experience dog sitting, I've walked, fed and kept company my neighbor's dog for many years when they away on vacation and business. I'm highly conscientious, very loyal, trustworthy, dependable. I am highly resourceful, extremely adept at walking safely in pedestrian urban traffic, I have a strong sense of direction, utilizing various modes of urban public transport from bicycle to bus to car sharing. I currently live with an lively cat who acts like a dog in many ways and I enjoy giving him the play, attention he needs inside.

Steven did an amazing job taking care of my puppy, Angel. He followed Angel’s feeding and walking schedule perfectly. The communication was excellent, and I always felt assured that Angel was in good hands.. Angel came back happy and well-cared for. I highly recommend Steven for anyone needing a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Steven was absolutely fantastic during his stay with Ronald. I am a naturally nervous dog mom and he was extremely responsive to all of my questions and requests and Ronald was totally content during my entire time away. I would DEFINITELY use Steven again.

I met Steven few years ago when he was a college student, and almost immediately we shared our love for animals, especially dogs. I had my pets and he had his family dog, which he cared for any time he could, and that's how he first acquired his dog's skills and experience. I highly recommend Steven for his responsibility, experience and loving care towards dogs. I would leave my pets in his care - at home or outside - and feel totally at peace, also because I think he is smart and able enough to control the unexpected should it occur.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a safe and spacious apartment with balcony. My apartment building has a courtyard for walking and other dogs for interaction if desired. My area is walk-friendly, with lots of smells to explore.

A typical day

I am open to any safe and accessible locations near the dog’s home. I would love to play fetch, visit a dog park, or take a leisurely walk through nature. Most importantly, I will cater to the dog’s needs and preferences to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
