Information Steven M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should anticipate and any actions or support best for me to provide.

Pet care experience

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.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
