Information Steven M. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting your pet, I’d love to know a few key things to make sure I provide the best care possible. Are they allowed on furniture? What’s their usual feeding schedule and diet? Are they crate-trained, and are they okay being left alone for short periods (like 1–2 hours) if they’re boarding with me? I’d also like to know if they’re good with other dogs, if they have any medical needs or special routines, and how much exercise or potty breaks they typically need. The more I know, the smoother and more comfortable their stay will be!

A typical day

A typical day with me includes lots of attention, fresh air, and playtime tailored to your dog’s needs. I’m happy to take them on plenty of walks throughout the day and, if they’re comfortable around other dogs or people, we’ll head to nearby parks to explore. For more active pups, I don’t mind driving them to a short local hike or trail for a fun adventure. Whether your dog loves to play, nap, or just hang out, I’ll match their energy and make sure they feel happy and at home.

Dog lover with years of experience

Pet care experience

I’ve been a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve owned and cared for three family dogs over the years and have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 3+ years. I’m comfortable with both small and large breeds and enjoy getting outside for walks — having a pup along just makes it better. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether it’s senior dogs who need a gentler touch or energetic pups who love to play, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.

Steven was great! Super communicative and our dogs loved him. So much so Bodhi didn’t want to leave🤣 Thanks for making this such an easy process.

Hazel was happy to return to Steven’s for an overnight stay. And we were able to enjoy our time worry-free, knowing she was in great hands!

Steven took great care of my best friend. It was a last minute booking and he was able to accommodate us. We will definitely book again!
