Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover with years of 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.

Ratings and reviews
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!
Steven took wonderful care of our Hazel during her six-night stay and kept us updated the whole time, sending photos and check-ins along the way. We felt completely comfortable leaving her with him and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Great communication and updates! Olaf was so comfortable and happy
Steven was super nice and responsive. Baloo left happy and seemed to have a great night!
Steven’s attention to detail and overall care is unprecedented. Solid energy and vibrations. Good person and even better dog sitter! Highly recommend!
Steven was amazing with our nervous boy Copper. At our initial meeting Steven seemed very knowledgeable about dogs in general and especially the main breed of our mix. He took time to walk him and make friends with him while we chatted about Copper’s needs. During Copper’s stay, Steven took the time needed to help Copper feel comfortable and sent me photos throughout the morning letting me know that Copper was doing well. I was nervous about leaving Copper as it was his first time away from his home. Steven helped Copper and me both with our nerves! I highly recommend Steven for your pet sitting needs. He is amazing!

Schedule
I work from home full time, which gives me the flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day, whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just being there to keep your pet company. Weekdays and weekends are both open, and I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family. I make sure they’re always safe, comfortable, and respected. I follow any care instructions carefully and keep routines consistent to help pets feel at ease. If I’m in your home, I keep things clean and secure and always aim to leave it just as you left it. I’m attentive, reliable, and always happy to send updates or photos so you can rest easy while you're away.
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.
