Dog Lover who works from home

I’ve had a dog all my life. My senior yorkie passed away last year after 18 years and I would love a dog back in the house to keep me company while I’m working from home. Experience with senior dogs including giving medicine, shots, and diaper care. Dog can be crated if needed.

Steven was very easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. I felt good about leaving Jack with him while I was out of town! Jack seemed to really like him.

Steven has been so awesome both times I have used him to watch my fur baby. He’s very responsive and sends all the updates and pictures you could ask for to help you feel comfortable while you’re gone. I will definitely be using him again!

Steven was great. He sent us updates & photos everyday! He was attentive & patient with our pup. We had a last minute flight cancellation & had to extend our trip one day & he easily accommodated us for this. Thank you Steven!

10/10 Although my pet didn’t stay the entirety of the booking, due to flight cancellation, Steven and his wife made sure my dog was tended to with the most love and care! Upon arriving to drop my dog off, Steven welcomed my dog and I and chatted about specific instructions and my pet’s daily routine. I felt safe leaving my dog with Steven, considering it was my dogs first boarding. Will definitely recommend to others and book again! 🐾

Steven was extremely professional and asked questions when needed. He reached out every day with wonderful pictures of our dogs. Both our dogs were from abused homes before we got them and they each had their quirks. Both transitioned seamlessly into his family home. Our dogs were nothing short of spoiled and were loved wholeheartedly. I will use Steven again and again. He puts my mind at ease knowing my dogs are safe and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

When I take little breaks during work I love to show my furry guest lots of love. Sometimes they even like to work with me on my lap while I’m typing up reports. I have a back yard mostly fenced in but opens to a drainage area. I have a small gate to block off an area for smaller dogs but when outside dogs will never be alone and always on a leash. I also have a gate if you don’t want your four legged friend roaming around the house. I will abide by any scheduling or training requirements you tell me and follow any instructions to a T. I know leaving your best friend behind is hard enough and I want to put your mind at ease knowing your pet is in good hands and it’s one less thing for you to worry about.

A typical day

The block I live on is very secluded and love to take long walks around the neighborhood. Depending on how active your dog is, I can go on long and short walks safely around the block. Unless a schedule is given, dogs will be walked a minimum of 3 times a day as needed. Your dog will never be alone and will be given a ton love and affection when not napping. They will be free to roam the house and nap alone or spend their day along side me.
